This really was the worst show I've ever seen in my life. It's so awful it should be burned and they should also burn any copies of the show. Then they should issue memory removing pills to viewers who watched it

I had no idea that The Comeback had been cancelled. I'd noticed that there weren't any new episodes, but figured they were just in between seasons. I also wondered why it wasn't on On Demand anymore! I had to keep searching for when it was on and tivo-ing it so I could view old episodes. I absolutely loved this show, Lisa Kudrow totally transforms herself from her role as Phoebe on Friends and really keeps the audience laughing and rolling their eyes. I hope HBO will give it another chance! We all want to know what happens to Valerie. My boyfriend even loves this show, however, he loves SATC so I guess he may be biased!

You should probably petition Showtime. Throughout the history of TV, some networks have dropped shows or passed on them only to have another network pick it up and run with it. Showtime would still be pay-for-view cable so it could still retain all the PG-13 elements. I don't subscribe to Showtime presently but I would if Showtime picked up the Comeback.

I taped all the episodes off of In Demand so I'm still getting my fix and find more and more subtleties to this show each time I view an episode.

I would have been interested to see why Paulie G. all of a sudden called Valerie Cherish a great comedic actress when all throughout it was obvious he despised her.

In some ways I could see why he did despise her, she kept putting her foot in her mouth so many times and the writers didn't even know who she was.

Valerie played such a great character who always had to be put in her place by somebody but she could also be right many times.

Anyway, I'll be glad when the DVD comes out. I really enjoyed all 13 episodes of this show and I'm happy to have that. It was a blast for me. I'm just so glad I didn't miss it. I almost did miss it.

I hope they don't have to pay for all of the space of their bulk email system that remains unused. How much space does 5 emails a day take up???

It would've taken 250 years to build up this show. Lisa K. has NEVER been funny. She come close with some of the improvisation and the portrayal of the airhead actress but this crap was just weird. What has up with the fat guy Paulie G. anyway. He acted totally gay yet was always with a woman. No man hates ANY woman, no matter how annoying, or how many Emmy's he won, that much. I'm glad it's cancelled but I will buy the DVD and watch it stoned to make sure I know what NOT to do with my sitcom.

R.I.P. Lisa

You fooled the focus groups to think you had talent since you were all "quirky" in the Mork mold. Rodeo drive is always looking for a high-scale escort so I'm sure you'll find SOME work. Just keep the hair, that's hot.

I saw Damian Young, "Marky Mark" on a episode of CSI-Miami tonight. Looking as handsome as ever, he played the intelligent villain trying to outsmart the system.
But I must admit I was smiling during most of the show, remembering that great butt-shot he had in episode #8. What a great shot that was!
I am glad to see that there is life after cancellation for some of them.

Hopefully everyone is contacting HBO with pleas to renew. Possibly a large volume of messages will help them see their error. I love the show and obviously "get it", also and would love to see something so refreshing continue.
