Question: I noticed that
Over There is not coming back for another season. What a darn shame. That show was my No. 1 favorite. My husband just left for Iraq a month ago for a year. We used to stay up late so we could watch
Over There. We both really liked it. We both know that most of that stuff really doesn't happen, but it was a good way to see how the soldiers are living and the type of missions they may be going on. Well, maybe someone will think of another show like
Over There. I sure can't wait!
Answer: First off, I wish your husband well and hope he makes a safe and speedy return. But I wouldn't expect to see another weekly series of this type anytime soon. I recently had lunch with a pretty-well-plugged-in writer-producer, and he told me that
Over There's failure has scuttled a number of plans to do war-related dramas on the networks. No one seems to feel it's worth the risk, and believe me, doing a show on this topic during this time
is risky. All in all, a shame.
