Dokey and Helen killed ?

While they were shot, how do we know they are dead ? --Scott.kelley (talk) 20:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Present vs. Past Tense

edit

FYI, it is standard to leave articles in present tense even after cancellation on the basis that they still exist and hence still "are" rather that "were". A good example of this is the article for the West Wing (which is a featured article) which still refers to the show as "is an American Drama" ThomasC22

The Firecracker

edit

The bar the Donnellys own in the show is not the one listed here. It is actually filmed in the Parkside Lounge on Houston between Ave. B and C in Manhattan. The exterior is The Shannon Pot, but the interior is Parkside.


what is the deal with the episode "God is a Comedian"? Its on nbc.com but its not in the episode list.


This is my second article, so please forgive me if I make any errors, I'm kinda still a newbie. -- instereo 01:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Air date?

edit

can someone check the premiere "March 2006", I do not know the correct date but obviously that is not correct.

Hell's Kitchen?

edit

Clearly not, with elevated subways running through everything. Where is it supposed to be? Or is is a case of where it's supposed to be vs. where it's filmed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.107.137.65 (talk) 03:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC). Nothing seems to be shot in Chelsea-Clinton or Hell's Kitchen. Some is shot in East Harlem and some near the Fulton Street area near the old Brooklyn Ferry landing. The brownstones are not like those in Hell's kitchen. I guess Brooklyn Heights or Fort Green. I haven't figured out which elevated train serves as the background (maybe the Bronx IRT?). When I lived near Hell's Kitchen in the '60s, the Irish population was already shrinking and the neighborhood was increasingly Hispanic. The local mob was the Westies, an Irish organized crime group. I don't believe there was a substantial Italian population in the Hell's Kitchen area at that time or since. Come to think of it, I don't recall any specific reference to Hell's Kitchen in the series.68.81.65.7 (talk) 02:20, 2 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Online episode

edit

I think we should have a source saying that the reason the third episode is only available online is because it was graphic/violent. It didn't seem any more so than the other episodes, so I doubt that's the reason. If I had to guess, I would say it was because of the religious content.

Cancelled?

edit

I was thrown from my Harley and had to have a laminectemy. Between my stupid roommate and the chicken ala king hospital food I was ready to jump out the sixth story window using the sheet to hang myself. Then I stumbled on this little TV gem. It made the hour when the Vicodin was wearing off seem almost pleasant. Is it being cancelled? hotbikerguy 1:45 24 March 2007

Veoh

edit

All 13 episodes are now available on VeohTV. I just got done watching them all. Veoh is an online streaming video website (like youtube). NBC has authorized the showing of several of their shows in their downloadable program. 30 second skippable commercials appear for each commercial break of the show. The VeohTV application can be downloaded at link. I think you may need to sign up for an account first though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.61.166.121 (talk) 03:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Run Like Hell

edit

Whats the deal with the quote in the new episode, Run Like Hell? It says "If ever I was sure that someone was coming to help me, I should run like hell." and the quote is attributed to Thoreau, who I assume is Henry David Thoreau. I could not find any quotes from Thoreau, or for that matter any person at all with those words. Whats the deal?

Mary Anne?

edit

Why isn't the character of "Mary Anne" listed anywhere? Who is the actress who plays her? She looks really familiar, I thought for a second that she was Bethany Joy Lenz but no. 70.55.21.103 01:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Lauren Bittner is uncredited in the role of "Mary Ann Maxwell". 74.115.199.150 02:30, 23 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Not officially cancelled!

edit

The last episode was aired on Monday, April 9 at 9:00 PM, not 10:00 PM. Just a little rescheduling because of the premiere of "Thank God You're Here."

Uhm.. as far as I can tell, this 10th episode seems to be the last one (online that is). Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Infamiainc 23:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply


Whats with this link??

edit

"Re-runs of episodes will be airing on the USA Network and Bravo.[9]"

ok, first off this is a private/invite only blog, so why would anyone post this link knowing this? and i also have issues with blogs being credible sources of info when it comes to such matters. i could make a blog myself and say whatever i want but that doesn't make it true, does it? i will leave it for the time being because the blog could become public but i just wanted to point this out. thanks!

Source for HDnet?

edit

HDNet will show the aired episodes and the unaired episodes of the Donnelly's in the summer. And there are plans being discussed for a second season with Paul Haggis and Robert Moresco in mid-summer.

Can someone link to a source for this information? I'm curious as to where this came from... --Snojoe 01:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I added a direct source from the HDNet press release and added the info into the article. meateebon 07:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sean Donnelly

edit

sean donnelly (not the one from the show)is the sexiest legend to ever walk this earth

Questionable content management

edit

As a TV and Film professional, it actually pains me to see this show cancelled.. for THE REAL WEDDING CRASHERS???? its like a bad joke.

Actually, this reminds me of the Ben Stiller show winning awards after being cancelled mid-season.

Our loss I guess. Why didnt the creators (director and cast as well) just move to another TV station?

Another question is who where the TV execs that cancelled this show? Do we know their names? they can't be good, can they? I'm extremelly interested in finding out exactly what happens to the guy who cancels an award winning show. Or the 2nd most viewed online from their own page.

This is one of those projects that could have really hit it HUGE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Telemu (talkcontribs) 23:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Is v. Was

edit

Which should be used in the lead sentence. I feel that was should be used as it is cancelled and no longer airing new episodes. :) <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 18:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The tense is not affected by the production status; a series is considered to exist as a creative work even if production has ceased. Thus, we write "Series X is a show that aired..." (If it helps, consider if we were discussing a film or a book; we wouldn't say "Citizen Kane was a film...") --Ckatzchatspy 18:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ahh, I understand now. Thanks for the clarification. :D <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 03:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
