Why the Hell was Roswell cancelled?

[Greg Cox]

I had the biggest crush on Shiri Appleby. Still do. Tess was a fun character too...

Have you been watching her new show, LIFE UNEXPECTED? It's not scifi, but enjoyable so far.

I've never even heard of it. I loved her stint on Six Degrees though. Thanks for the heads up.

It just debuted last week. There have only been two episodes so far . . . .

And it's on the CW, that explains it!

Yes, but they accidentally put the preview for Life Unexpected during the new season line up infomercial halfway through last year. So it might have been shelved for some untoward reason?

O, I'm three shows from the end of seaosn 3, and last night I saw the male lead of the life unexpected on Roswell, he played the Reporter friend of Jessie's (Mr Isobell Ste, um... Evans.) during the I Married an Alien 60s sitcom pisstake episodes.

The third season is disjoint but it's not as horrible as some of you made out earlier.

Because the following season they introduced Smallville, another show featuring a human looking alien growing up on Earth.

Having two would have looked weird, so they went with the one they thought would have a bigger following.

Indeed, at one point, ROSWELL and SMALLVILLE were on opposite each other, so you had your choice: did you watch the show about the super-powered alien teenager hiding out in a small town in Kansas, or the show about the super-powered alien teens hiding out in a small town in New Mexico . . . ..
