Six Degrees anyone?

Six people, six lives, all living in New York City. Strangers, who through coincidence and chance - or - is it fate? - meet each other throughout thier everyday lives, and how they effect each other. It sounds pretty intriguing to me atleast, but not so it would have seemed to ABC in America.

It was pulled early on from thier schedules over in the states due to low ratings - but importantly not cancelled, just placed on a hiatus for a while. Well, two weeks ago it finally returned, sadly with little advertising and fan fair - but, with the promise and hopes of new cast members to join to hopefully make it more successful.

Well, last night I was pondering whether to post about me being at a location in NYC last year where they had filmed a scene - and showing pictures to show where it had happened, but alas, the gods at ABC have spoken, and after two weeks and only two episodes to give the show another try, Six Degrees is sadly no more.

Now, this maybe little news to folk in the UK, where the show has still yet to premiere on ITV1, but this does now even affect whether it will even be shown on ITV1. ABC only aired in total eight episodes, now granted they would have filmed more, how many more remains to be seen - a TV show can only be sold to other networks abroad if it has a minimum of 13 episodes in a season.

So, for now, its just yet another waiting game for the show, if 13 or more episodes were made, we’ll have to wait until they air on an ITV channel (I doubt it will any longer be ITV1, due to the show’s cancellation, but it’s a good show for ITV2) If not, the remaining episodes will most likely be shown online on abc.com - but, whether or not international viewers will ever get the chance to be able to see them, is another matter entirely.

All in all, it’s safe to say it’s gone from ABC for good, and thus no point in voting for it in the SOS poll! A quick update on that; and apparently the leader is moving away from the pack, however the show in 3rd place is rapidly moving up towards 2nd!
