What happened to the ...
Question: What happened to the remaining (unaired) episodes of
Book of Daniel? Are they available on DVD along with the first few episodes that were aired? Or is the entire story available in "book form"? It's unfortunate that this program came to a screeching halt. Is it true that the advertisers withdrew sponsorships on their own accord, or was it just made to look like they did? I'm interested. Thanks in advance for your response.
Answer: For a while, NBC had made the unseen episodes available for viewing on its website, I believe. I also know there will be a public screening of two of the episodes at the annual Outfest in Los Angeles in July. And I've heard that there is talk (nothing confirmed yet) of a DVD release of the full series, which would certainly be the best option. As for the advertisers: this was always a tough sell, and the controversy that surrounded the show even before its premiere scared many sponsors away. That plus NBC's ultimate lack of faith in the series spelled
Daniel's early doom. My top five disappointments from the past season, in terms of what either didn't get a chance or didn't get renewed, would be:
Everwood,
Invasion,
Sons & Daughters,
Book of Daniel and
Love Monkey. How much better would prime-time network be if all of these shows had survived?
