It's with great sadness that I pass along to you the information I've just received -- The 4400 has been cancelled. We've had a great time bringing you this story and submersing you in the lives of all these incredible characters. Thank you especially to the folks on the board here whose tireless devotion to the show is nothing short of remarkable. Shout out to Bubba, by the way! I love your posts, man.
I just spoke to Joel and we had a great talk about what we all accomplished and how much we'll miss our family that is our crew and our cast... and our fans. But at least we got to go out with a bang! I had an awesome time directing the last episode. I think I got to make almost every single cast member cry (on camera). How much fun was that?!
So let me raise my metaphorical glass to you all and thank you for being so loyal and so dedicated. I wish we could go on forever, but the party has come to an end. Be well and on behalf of all of us at The 4400 -- thank you, it's been a pleasure.

Now this just pisses me right the hell off! Why is it the good shows get cancelled?! Seriously, this is one of the few shows that actually encouraged you to think for yourself and try to guess what was going to happen next! The writing was downright brilliant! This show was almost as good as "The Pretender" for crying out loud! Way to go NBC for cancelling one of the most popular scifi shows on the USA network.

I have your anwser to your question.

Now a days it seems that the "good" shows are those with crude jokes, and women who are falling out of their cloths. That isn't to say that there aren't any shows that are intelligent, certainly there are some...

the 4400, that was that show where every episode went for 2 hours right?
First off, Andrea Parker is SMOKING hot (once she quit smoking that is!). Now to answer your question, The 4400 is a series about everyone that had ever "disappeared" or been "kidnapped by aliens" was suddenly sent home at once. The catch, is that each of them had a special ability. (Some extreme, while most were rather benign.) I could go further with explaining this, but it would ruin the first season for you. (which was just a 5 part mini-series)

It wasn't all that bad.
Funny though, here in AUS they only showed the mini series, and after that? Don't know.
You really missed out man. Atleast the good side is that the DVD sets are dirt cheap. I think I paid like $25 for season 3 a while back off of Amazon.com. You can watch the pilot off of youtube if you want.
