"Wayne and Dahlia Malloy spent their youth pulling cons with a traveling band of modern Irish gypsies roaming about the US.

They decide to finally settle down in suburbia where they battle to live a normal life while trying to escape their former friends."

This was a great show. Unfortunately, it's been cancelled. I'm creating a topic in hopes to get more fans of the show and to possibly bring it back. It was one of the few good shows that FX has/had.

 

[Pimpjuice16]

Damn. Why are all the good shows always canceled?

One show left to air here in Canada. They could've let them do a 2 hour movie to finish most of the stories. Can only hope AMC picks up the show now that FX, after 6 months, finally made a decision. One of my favourites.

 

[Kable24]

I loved the first season, but the 2nd season just didn't grab me as much. My wife and I didn't even finish the season. we didn't even watch the last 2 episodes.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Yeah there was something missing from the second season.

I agree there was something missing. I think it was the light feel to it all. It was extremely serious with not as many jokes or 'funny, I can't believe he just pulled that out of his a** and they bought it' bits.

They could do a movie to finish it up and I hope they do because it was left on quite a cliffhanger.

From TV Squad

JK: Real quick about The Riches, how did you feel about the show's cancellation?
Izzard: Oh, there was unfinished business. We want to do a film about it. We want to do a film to continue it on.

JK: Is it in the works?
Izzard: Yeah, that's in the works in my head. We're already working on the script for it. Because I met Samuel L. Jackson in a lift, or an elevator, as you say, in London. And he was going, "So what happens with your kids...they gonna be ok, you continuing, what's going on?" So I thought, well, if Samuel L. Jackson wants to know what's going on, we have to do a film. So we're going to pick up...the plan is to pick up exactly where we left off, and we think we're going to make a film of the next bit.

JK: A theatrical film?
Izzard: Yeah. It's the perfect time to do it. You know, with the Internet exploding, with all the finances going through the roof, we've got passionate fans. We had great reviews, and passionate fans all over the world, including in lifts in London, with seeing Samuel L. Jackson. But we didn't have the right number of them. So that's what happened. And how you test with these Nielsen boxes, it's antiquated. It's 1950's technology, and we're doing stuff that is different. People are looking at it in different ways. So now's the time for us to grab it by the scruff of the neck and go off and make a film.

JK: I enjoyed the series, and was surprised to hear it got cancelled.
Izzard: Well, it was just, it was numbers. Numbers apparently stopped us, but passion keeps it going.

So what's going to make it on the big screen first? Arrested Development, Veronica Mars or The Riches?

With world wide box office/DVD sales it would make back its budget but it would be hard to sell this movie where its wrapping up a storyline while AD and VM are not that cornered into a story.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Well I would say Sam Jackson the Riches, then the Riches he shall have....Mother *****er!
