1. It wasn't a "soapy drama" to begin with?

It seems to me that the second guy wanted to make it more serious and ABC wants yet another night time soap opera.

2. I didn't understand why Daniel Cerone was even hired to be Dirty Sexy Money's showrunner in the first place. Cerone had done a spectacular job on Dexter, but DSM is intended to be a fluffy, quirky nighttime soap, an entirely different animal. He wasn't going to fit. Of course, I thought DSM was the most overrated AND the most disappointing new series last season-I was amazed it attracted any kind of audience. I suppose what happened is that ABC thought they could make it "edgier" with Cerone on board, but then had second thoughts after seeing the initial results.

3. Really? Viva Laughlin (it was cancelled, but still), Samantha Who, Carpoolers, Cavemen, Private Practice, Gossip Girl, Back to You, Bionic Woman, Big Shots, Women's Murder Club, Moonlight???

They all sucked far more than DSM.

4. Well, then by all means hire the showrunner for Big Shots since it did so well in the ratings. I really enjoyed the show - Sutherland and Krause were worth every minute, but I'm doubting it will hold the same appeal when it returns. If they place it against something else I watch, I think they'll lose me. Oh well, it's been so long since it was on I won't miss it, that's for sure!

5. I think DSM is one of the best shows returning. I'm not sure if hiring anyone from Big Shots is a good idea, but I thought the writing was excellent last season and the acting, especially by Sutherland and Krause, was amazing. Donald disguises decency disguised as evil disguised as cleverness and loses me from there on out. Don't forget Father Brian or Patrick and his trans-gender lover! DSM has camp, cleverness, and class all wrapped up in one.

6. I'm really looking forward to DSM returning and I hope it will be as much soapy and funny as the first season. The amazing ans surreal characters and casting sell the show in this one.

I was very happy to hear about Cirone becoming the showrunner, since the series could definitely get a bit darker, but now I'm a bit dissapointed to see that he's leaving.

Big Shots was mediocre at best, why would they put someone like Feldman on charge? I hope it turns out to be at least of the same quality, if not better, coming fall.
