    They should have stayed with Fox News. They had better production quality and definitely had better access to interesting people. They were much better at it than the current crew at Fox News. Maybe the big BO can give them a government job?

    I’ll be sorry to see them go. I really cannot stand Kelly Ripa and landed on Mike and Juliet by accident last fall. I think they are witty, personable and had a fun, upbeat show. Their regular panel discussions featured interesting guests and their segments were light and entertaining. Such a shame to see them go!

    I am amazed that this show is cancelled! I am a Talk show junkie and this is my favorite morning show. The minute the TODAY show is over I switch it quick to Mike and Juliets show so I do not even have to endure a minute of Regis and Kelly ripa. They always have the same guests on that the Today show had on an hour before! Mike and Juliet are hip and fun and have interesting things all the time! Its like picking up your favorite magazine that always have great stories. I wonder if there is something we can do.

    I completely agree with Monica….Kelly Ripa is full of herself and I cannot stand to watch her at all!! I am so upset to hear The M and J show will no longer be on, they are part of my morning routine and I have been a fan since their first show. Twentieth Television what are you thinking?? You made a BIG mistake!!

    I just heard this morning about M&J being cancelled. Don’t know how I missed it. I was stunned!!! I can’t believe it. First Eli Stone now another great show!. I DVR it when I work and I look forward to watching it even in the evening. I really like both Mike and Juliet, they are so much better than Regis and Kelly. If there is a petition or something being done to try to stop this I will sign it!!! Mornings will definately not be the same!

    I just happend to be off today and had a chance to chime in on the last episode and thought I was misunderstanding what they were saying at the beginning of the show. I don’t watch them all the time; one because I’m normally at work this time of morning and two I don’t always like their topics, but if they do have a good topic when I’m home, I watch it. I feel bad now that I didn’t support the show when I was home. I hate to see them leave and think that if they’d had more interesting people and topics, the show would have blown up like other talk shows. They worked with what they had. Good luck M & J from Maryland.

    Too bad it was cancelled.

    Both hosts were fun and the show was entertaining.
    It was more of a woman’s type show than for guys, which is alright.

    Hope both can work together again very soon.

    Are you kidding me…..? My husband and I both watch this show because we truly like Mike & Juliet’s personalities, they’re real people….not the “fake” stuff you find on other shows. Well, I guess it’s time to stop watching regular tv and go back to radio.
    MIKE & JULIET…..MOVE ON, you’re too good for TWENTIETH TELEVISION.

    I can’t believe they’re going away. I can’t stand “Pippa” either and M & J were a refreshing and funny couple. Please reconsider. After reading the comments I question the validity of the nielsen results anyway. Nielsen rarely reflects the watching habits of my family and our close friends.

    This is a HORRIBLE decision by FOX and Twentieth Television.

    Mike and Juliet is by far the BEST morning show on television.

    Twentieth Television has YET again made another huge MISTAKE and someone needs to look into the sanity of the person making this decision.

    The show has excellent ratings and canceling it absolutely makes know sense. This is simply another bad executive decision and hopefully another network will benefit from there incompetence.

    I beg you-
    PLEASE DON’T CANCEL MIKE and JULIET.

    We will miss you.

    Aww I saw Juliette crying at the end of the show!
    I hate fox now.. The only thing I watched on fox was the news and the M&J show! I loved He said She said, the Male Room, and especially Fridays with Geraldo and Jude Jeanine Pirro! I AM NOT A FAN OF REGIS AND KELLY NEVER HAVE BEEN NEVER WILL BE

    I HOPE FOX’S RATINGS GO EVEN LOWER!!!!!!!!

    I am sad to see the show end. I looked forward to watching every morning after watching fox & friends. Someone made a big mistake not keeping those two together they have great chemistry and a strong following. Guess this just helps me watch less tv and will go to the gym earlier!

    I was so surprised to hear that the M&J Show was cancelled…it is the best morning talk show. Worth watching to see Juliet’s beautiful clothes, her great personality, Mike’s charm, and their terrific rapport!
    Not a “fair and balanced” decision by FOX!!

    Your cancellation of this entertaining show is a poor business decision to say the least. I didn’t watch morning tv until I tuned in to the Mike and Juliet show about six months ago. I would watch it 1000 times more than The View or some other imbecilic Court Room shows. It had humor, class, fun, whimsy and a great couple that were human enough to poke fun at themselves yet never going over the top by humiliating some one else. If you would have promoted it better or given them a different time slot it would have had higher ratings. This makes me think of the network that
    took Harry Smith off the morning news spot and the downward spiral it took and the years before the network came back and guess who is in the driver’s seat again but Harry Smith- charming morning news viewers again.
    You people are fools.

    I don’t believe It!! I finally found a morning show I really like and you people cancel it! So like today’s programming. Something clean and refreshing comes along that doesn’t have the same old hackneyed, typical hosts and BOOM it gets cancelled. I guess it wasn’t dirty enough (like Maury), huh? Too bad. I’m going to really miss them!!!!

    FINALLY! I could hardly contain myself when I found out they were being cancelled! IT’S ABOUT TIME! Mike looked like a scared cat everyday as missy would talk all the time! The only time he looked relaxed was when she was off the show for the day! They over~booked everyday, each segment had to be finished online via the green room. I think Mike will make it somewhere else, he was funny & witty.
    I often wondered how they even got a show together.
    I read many folks compare Juliet with Kelly R… Kelly is just lucky~ someone will wake up soon at ABC

    I cannot believe they would of cancelled this show when it was obviously so much better than watching Regis and Kelly!! What were they thinking! Executives at times do not know when to leave a good thing alone. The show was fun to watch and the host had chemistry that you enjoyed watching them together.
    Pitty that now that time slot the TV will not be on. Shame on the ones that made such a ignorant move of cancelling a good thing.

    The M&J show was a fine show:fun,informative, and as soon as the girls on the View all started to talk at once I would go right to M&J if I was not all ready watching . Will miss the one good morning show along with Regis (No time conflict in West). Fox this is a bad decision….Keep M&J on TV….

    I loved the M&J show. It was fun and entertaining. They are both very likeable, and the show was so easy to watch. Mike has this cute kind of insecurity and Juliet is a doll, not all conceited like most other beautiful blondes are. The Male Room was so funny. I wonder if there is anyone we can write to to protest this. Like everybody else is saying, I used to look forward to it every day. Kelly is obnoxious and Bonnie is just a little bit too folksy to me. Come on, bring M&J back. Maybe another network will read these posts.

    Wow. Coming in on this late. Watching a repeat this morning and someone was predicting their future and they mentioned the show was being canceled. I too switched from Regis and Kelly when it would come on. M & J Show was refreshing. Lots of variety and humor. Guess I’ll just get more done earlier in the morning now.

    The M&J show was quite delightful and I sure do miss it. I’m still watching reruns, anything is better than watching Regis & Kelly. I did’nt even watch it when Kathie Lee was on. Regis is too stuck on his-self along with Kelly. They need to be off the air. Thank goodness I don’t have to watch the View either. I hate it when someone talks over someone else, it needs to off the air instead of M&J. I hope Juliet will soon be pregnant and not have to worry about a tv show of any kind.

    I was surprised and disappointed to hear that the Mike & Juliet Show was cancelled. I could hardly watch Regis and Kelly as it was, and was pleased with the M&J format. They dealt more with REAL issues that everyday people could relate to i.e., weight loss, nutrition, and family issues, and provided a social service in my opinion.

    I cannot believe Fox cancelled this show. I accidentally came across it last year as I can’t stand Kelly Ripa or anything else on TV in the morning at that time. Mike and Juliet were amazing presenters, they has such a great chemistry and as a viewer you were made to feel part of their team. The poked fun at themselves and were real people. The topics were always light and fun… I loved the male room and Judges corner. Their guests were interesting and the presenters smart and witty. It was a great morning show and always made me laugh and feel upbeat. FOX has made a huge mistake replacing them with DR OZ….What a bore and why does he always look like he’s just walked out of surgery??..I shall not be watching FOX again! Bring back Mike and Juliet!!

    Please, please bring M & J back on the air. I just watched the Dr. Oz show and am wondering how in the world you replaced M & J with Dr. Oz. All of his topics left me with concern about my sex, health, inside my purse, etc., but nothing uplifting and good to watch. Please bring M & J back (I mean it!!!!!).

    In the beginning I enjoyed the show. It was a refreshing change from hearing Regis talk about eating with Donald Trump at some upscale restaurant or Kelly talking about the Hamptons. The show, however, quickly declined
    and became a forum for their own political bias. I didn’t want to hear their personal political views, I just wanted to be entertained. Mike became especially obnoxious to the point of silliness in a feeble attempt to be funny. He was especially bad in the food segments. Sad. The show would probably have survived if that had replaced Mike and Juliet with new hosts. I’m glad they’re gone.

    I am so glad that, we the people, who pay for these peograms to be on the air, have finally been given the opportunity to comment on what we like and dislike about what is being put on television. I think the talk shows of today are the worst kind of entertainment you could ever view. Regis and Kelly are blah, blah, blah, and thats just what you hear when you listen to them. No one cares about their opinions of people, the world, children, politics and so forth, but that is what you hear. Our world is in a mess and people need to be lifted up, not be made to feel worse because they can’t afford to dine out,go to the movies,wear $1,000.00 suits,get our nails and hair done,go on expensive vacations, etc., etc. Their show is boring, boring,boring.They talk about people and make fun of people.These are only masks that they wear, they are NOT what they appear to be, and we pay for this entertainment ! Cathy Lee wore herself and her family out when she was on with Regis. The soaps are doing the same ole, who’s sleeping with who and who killed who, and how many times have I been married now? oh, I can’t remember. And we watch these things all day every day and all night every night and we wonder why our children are like they are.
    Mike and Juliet are not good entertainers. Mike does act like he is a nervous wreck, hopping all over the place, bobbing his head on the audience, juliet, camera, back and forth, back and forth. Eating like there is no tomorrow. Juliet talking about peoples weddings like she was the wedding planner and she wouldn’t do it that way. All she does is TALK TALK TALK TALK and TALK. She never shuts up. She talks over top of EVERYONE and she talks “LOUD”. The show is always over booked. You never get the whole story about anything. I don’t want to check the “GREEN ROOM”! And I think I can talk for alot of people when I say, “NO MORE RERUNS PEOPLE”! If we didn’t see it the first time, please don’t re-run it. And “WE”, The United States of America, pay for this junk. You wonder why we don’t have enough money to feed and clothe our families, it’s because we are ignorant enough to pay cable companies and broadcasting companies money to watch garbage. We used to get TV for nothing. Not only do we pay them for the crap that is on TV right now, it is 500 channels of the same things over and over and over on multiple channels , 365 days per year, with RE- RUNS.
