Was Raines really cancelled or was it that Jeff Goldblum decided that taking over the role that had been Vincent D’Onofrio’s in Law and Order
was a better, more high profile opportunity than the lesser known Raines? Raines is one of my all time favorite shows. I’ve never liked Jeff Goldblum but in this show, he is brilliant. The show perfectly supports his acting, his wit, and his quirkiness. The repartee between his character and his boss, played by Wes Craven, is not only some of the best writing ever, but the two of them pull it off perfectly.

All of my viewing is online. And I just found this show a couple of days ago. I think it’s a shame to cancel this show, it is really good, and hasn’t been given any time for an audience to develop. Please give it another chance.

It was a great show! Still miss an excellent play of Jeff Goldblum, great plot and wonderful shooting. It is so sad to see that TV obviously favours “less than average Joe”….
Give people something to think of, help their imagination to flower!

NBC execs should get the boot. I agree…they never gave the show a chance. It had a great cast and personally, I liked Jeff’s weird character and the basic theme of the show. They do stuff like this all the time and they aren’t the only ones.

A minimum play run should be 24 episodes. That allows enough time for the audience to make their showing of support.

I also hate it when a good show gets cancelled and they replace it with crap.

Bring Raines back…………

Raines was a great show. NBC never gave it a chance. They moved its time and were not consistent from week to week. It is like they tried to kill it as they often do. And those guys get paid BIG BUCKS.

Sorry Jeff…it wasn’t your fault.

Why would NBC cancel this show?
I watched every episode and have been waiting for it’s return.
Get rid of some of the junk and bring it back.
Wake up NBC!

I understand the frustration and yes good shows do get cancelled all the time. I suggest everyone who wants Raines back to email the network. I know of a few shows brought back because enough people let there voices be heard! Even if it doesn’t work it is worth a shot!

Sorry to see that this show was cancelled. Raines and CSI were my favorite shows last season. I wish the network would bring it back.
