"On the Tube - Say Farewell to Felicity & Roswell"
Last season we saw two incredibly popular series come to an end. Why were
they cancelled? We have no idea! After all, we loved the drama and
intrigue of 'Roswell,' and the day-to-day soap opera of Felicity. They were
two of the shows that launched The WB (although Roswell later moved to
UPN)... and we're going to miss them when the fall season rolls around.
ROSWELL
Everyone finds the mysteries surrounding Roswell and the possibility that
there are aliens among us interesting. Who knew just how addicting the
lives of those aliens could be before The WB show Roswell first aired?
There are no little green men here, just three teenage aliens struggling to
live undetected in alien-crazed Roswell, New Mexico. They are trying to
uncover the truth about their existence with the help of three human
teenagers, who must protect their secret at all costs. Roswell made us
truly appreciate science fiction, but UPN has decided to pull the show after
this season.
However, the stars aren't wasting any time crying over the cancellation --
they're too busy! Majandra Delfino is concentrating on her music. She
recently released a dark, funky CD titled "The Sicks" and is planning to
spend her time working on another album. Brendan Fehr is moving back to his
home country of Canada, and has two short Canadian films being released
later this year. Shiri Appleby is starring in a new thriller, "Swimfan"
that will also be released later this year. The film centers around a
promising high school swimmer whose one night stand leads to deadly
consequences. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more Roswell star
sightings. They'll be landing near you soon!
