The $treet

From watching the new shows this season, it makes me think how many great shows premiered last year, but when off the air. This is one of them. I guess it was a little too racy for network television. If it had been on HBO, it would have probably lasted a long time. The show was smart, funny, well acted, and best of all, it was original. Almost all shows today are just rip-offs of some other shows. This wasn't and that is why I loved it so much.

This show was just awesome, it was the only show I watched on TV for some time.....Interesting characters, Great Cast, Interesting plot, Gorgeous Women, and also full of information on the Stock Market. This show has actually introduced me to some of the basic concepts related to the NYSE, was a great advantage on some college courses involving the Stock Market. I was very disappointed when it got cancelled, it was my FAVORITE show at that time, I don't understand why it got cancelled, but, I see lame and crappy shows running for at least a year while some good ones, like The Street, get cancelled. I would love to see this show back on TV, it just ROCKED.

Now that Fox has cancelled The Street let me offer some regrets that the network did not attempt to change its time slot. Going up against a show like The West Wing almost doomed it to failure and that is a shame.

The Street was a microcosm of a youthful Wall St. firm at mach speed. As has been popularized today the dialogue happened fast and furious...way faster than in real life. But that is what kept it vibrant. I am at least a generation or two older than the people depicted in the show yet I really related to the energy the show produced. The give and take between characters was very good on both the personal side as well as the professional side. The depictment of this Wall St. firm as both cut throat with good friendships is what life is...especially in the frenetic pace of the business of finance.

I really liked that in character development no one person was all good or all bad. Each inter-twined along the delicate fence of ideals and truth. I really hope that Darren Star Productions finds a new home for this show. I am anxious to continue watching the evolution of the characters and stories.

Those ba$tard$ at FOX canceled this show cause it wasn't an immediate #1 show. This show had so much talent and promise. PLUS two of the best looking women ever to grace the media. Both Jen Connelly and Jen Garth. I KNOW that those execs were kicking themselves when they could've had a show with THE current academy award winning actress on prime time. That just doesn't happen. Too bad FOX just didn't have any balls, and rather would pay millions per episode for the lowest common denominator and same old money makers instead of backing talent and style that you only see on premium cable TV. How unfortunate. The $treet was the only series I've ever video taped to make sure that I saw it and I'm really glad that I saved those.

It's an absolute shame that this show was cancelled. I was lucky enough to find it on YouTube and I thought "sure, I'll try it"...I ended up bingeing all 11 episodes in 24 hours-it was that good!

This show did a good job of following the work lives and personal lives of each character. Showing the difficulties of dating in the workplace while also showing the connection people can have from working in the same area-understanding the needs and commitments of a job. It also did well explaining how the stock market works-I myself have absolutely zero understanding of it, but I was still able to follow along well and figure out what was going on with each situation. They also didn't try and stick on one topic too long like most dramas do. Each situation occurred for an appropriate amount of time; nothing dragged on longer than it should. The episodes each ended well but still had you wanting to know what would happen next.

They also did well with special guest stars and the actors on the show: Jennifer Connelly, Christian Campbell, Jennie Garth, Bradley Cooper, Isabel Gillies, Molly Ringwald, David Thornton...the list goes on! This show was cut too soon. It really could have been something worth watching. I'm glad I was able to find it on YouTube and see this show! Watch it. Even though there's only 11 viewable episodes, it's worth the watch.
