I mean I know i'm new here and all,but someone please give me a logical reason(besides ratings) as to why we're not watching this show regularly after "Burn Notice".I mean come on USA,you're on a roll,you've got fridays locked down with "Psych" and "Monk",thursdays has the afore mentioned Burn Notice,of course WWE RAW,Dead Zone,the list goes on.I'm sayin "The Starter Wife" was shoved down our throats for months before it's premiere and for what?That show sucks balls! Underfunded had it all,great characters,opportunity for development,it had the signature USA feel good look to it,it was funny and it had great street buzz after it's premiere,So why is "starter wife" coming back when Underfunded hasnt been around for months?Seriously I know that i'm not alone in this,Everyone i've talked to about this has agreed,I registered here just so I could ask this question,the show has power and i'm not letting it go away that easily,dont make me have to get a butt load of signatures to bring it back,because I do have the time and the energy to do it! If they were to bring Underfunded back,I think it would serve as a good sidekick show for Burn Notice on thursday nights,it's just a really good suggestion (not to toot my own horn or anything),somebody let me know whats up!

You must be a huge fan of steriotypes then. Here's one for you...That show was nothing but American ignorance at it's best. Is there really a need to give Canadians an oppurtunity to think Americans are asses. There is nothing wrong with friendly banter between friends, but a show to air on an american network that openly mocks a nation. And very innacurately represents it. I don't think Americans need more innacurate beliefs and steriotypes to put on other nations. I've met people who think that Canada is above Alaska, people really do live in igloos, Canadians don't have television, they don't have summer, it's a third-world country, a socialist country, that police always wear those mountie uniforms, that Canadians don't know how to speak American (? - it's all english), they don't have any coastline, they all say "eh", and many many more. Is there really a need to further the ignorance of a country that is America's neighbour, friend, and Allie. Plus, it wasn't even funny. Way to pushed for humour.

Well that's one way to look at it if you intend to miss the whole point.First of all...Who cares what Canadians think about Americans? Yes the show didnt accurately depict true canadian life style at its best..So what...The purpose of the show was to spoof the Secret Service in general by showing that Canada "had one too",Only theres sucked in comparison to other nations version of the s.s...Besides Americans mock canadians on the regular...This is nothing new...To add to that,The show was the first positive representation of Canada in a long time...Finally a canadian show that entertains! We really need to stop being so sensitve...It's like political cartoons...Some countries want to saw your head off for mocking their presidents..But why?...If flava flav can sit and laugh while white people racially roast him,Than I dont see what anyone has to say when it comes to making fun of each other...A lot of us need to lighten up...And if you believe that Underfunded was "Way to pushed for humour"...Then you obviously never watched it stoned...Shame on you!
