Very Sad News...

I just found out from a friend of mine who told me...

TV's Las Vegas Cancelled (http://www.thecelebritytruth.com/)

Television's 'Las Vegas' has become a victim of the writers strike, with its executive producer and creator, Gary Scott Thompson, announcing that the show will be cancelled because it would cost too much to re-start production.

Las Vegas was based in the fictional Montecito Casino in the Nevada glitter strip, and featured one of the biggest sets ever built for a tv show. It starred James Caan and singer Fergie's main squeeze, Josh Duhamel, with Tom Selleck added to the cast last year as the new owner of the casino.

Thompson told TVguide.com on Tuesday (February 26) that the decision was based on the cost of re-starting production of the show, and the future of the show was even up in the air prior to the start of the strike in early November.

The last episode of the season ended on a cliffhanger and is not expected to be concluded according to reports.

· I have been a fan for 3 years, very sad to see it come to an end this way. It was really a very smart fit for the show having Tom Seleck join the Staff. It was really great seeing Tom on tv every week. Love to see the show come back!

· I started watching this show this season....and it was so funny. I cannot believe it isn't returning. The least they could do is end the show for us...not leave it hanging like they did. This really SUCKS!

- This really is disappointing for me, and for BECOMING MAGNUM, not only because I enjoyed watching the Series, but I was also hoping to be able to PITCH myself to the Producers of LAS VEGAS to get myself into an Epiosde as the son of AJ COOPER (Tom Selleck's Character.)

Because they brought LARRY MANETTI & ROGER E. MOSLEY (Rick & TC from Magnum P.I.) into the Series, I was going to pitch myself as SULLIVAN COOPER, in which I would pull up in front of the MONTECITO CASINO in a newer Ferrari 355 GTS, get out wearing a Hawaiian Print Shirt, and a Detroit Tigers Baseball Cap. . .

But apparently that is not going to even get a chance of happening, and I think it would have been really cool for Magnum P.I. Fans, as well as Tom Selleck Fans, in addition to helping to sell myself to Executive Producer Brian Grazer (Imagine Entertainment) who is Executive Producing the MAGNUM P.I. MOVIE.

Well, maybe I will still have to contact the Gary Scott Thompson, the Executive Producer of LAS VEGAS anyway, and see if I can get my hands on a copy of the Script that would have at least added some closure to the Series instead of leaving it as a Cliff Hanger, and shooting the Episode for the Internet somehow, and then I can still get myself in there, as we shoot an Exterior shot of a real CASINO in Las Vegas...or this could just be me grasping for straws.
