Hello! I agree in everything that jonescol said. This was a great show, inspiring and kind of different. Also, i was extremely satisfied with the actors in the show, they are awesome and of course I was ecstatic to see Jason Priestley again on a TV show. Bring the show back!!!!

I am so disappointed that this show is not returning. I truly am so surprised. I know so many people who loved this show. The lineup of this show, State Of Mind and Army Wives was awesome! I hope you reconsider. This show touched so many people and it sickens me to see the trash that they keep on tv. I hope you reconsider.

I am disheartened to hear that Side Order is cancelled. I have to say that this is the first show that made me actually want to watch Lifetime. Then I found State of Mind which was well written and interesting as well and I thought maybe this channel isn't so bad after all. Both appear to be gone, so I figure my remote will rarely be stopping on Lifetime any more.

I don't know where you get your "popularity poll" information either but Side Order of Life was one of the best shows I've seen. Why is it when there is a show that I like it's cancelled in no time? I know there were a great many people that loved this show. What's the deal. State of Mind was very good as well but Side Order of Life was wonderful. I watch Lifetime every day. I would hate to think I would have to become an ex-fan.

Everyone is complaining to Lifetime about pulling the show off the air when in reality, this show did not score enough viewers, and was cancelled. I was bummed too because I watched it but that's the way it goes.

State of Mind was good, but Side Order of Life was GREAT! Why did you take if off the air??? I don't watch any other shows on your station except for Will & Grace whenever I catch it. I TIVO'd ever episode!

I want to know how the best friend's breast cancer turns out. What happened with her Dad? How about the BFF and her boss?

I've since had another baby and became a stay-at-home Mom. Couldn't wait for this next season to start, but knew it was taking forever!!!

THESE ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS TALKING!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT POLLS YOU TOOK TO PULL THE SHOW, BUT THEY WERE WRONG!!!! WE NEED IT BACK!!!!

Please don't make me change the channel and look for something else. Because I will.... Here I go... I'm reaching for the remote.... See... I'm a Mom of a 2 yr old and a newborn.... I need some "ME" time!!! I'll do it! I'm gonna do it..... CLICK

I am so sad that this show isn't coming back. I enjoyed so much about it; especially the "real life" problems that they dealt with, such as Cancer and true friendships. Why even show it for 1 season if you are just going to leave us hanging afterwards? I'm very upset with Lifetime for choosing to NOT renew this show!

I really miss this show. It was so creative and endearing. Lifetime--you really need to rethink this!

Wow, I too am disappointed that the show is not returning. The story line was fresh. I love Jenny's quirkyness. Too bad they have to cancel a good thing.

I'm so disappted that "Side Order" will not be returning for more seasons. Wow... I'm completely stunned actually. I really enjoyed watching it and like so many others DVR'd it weekly. I enjoyed this show on so many levels and I'm so totally confused as to why you would cancel it. The dynamics between these characters, along with Jenny's craziness was perfect and real. To build us up all season with anticipation of meeting 'cell phone guy' and then to drop us like a lost call. Not to mention Rick and Vivy's relationship. I don't know what else to say besides I'm sad about this decision and I hope that you'll listen to your viewers and reconsider. Bring 'Side' back!!!!!

First Blood Ties now this. I don't know if I can give any more of your new shows a chance Lifetime. You'll probablly just cancel the second season. This makes me sad. I have nothing else to say.

Definetly a poor choice from the lifetime network. This was a fantastic show and I DVR'd it every week. Looked forward to it each and every time it aired. Maybe too many of us recorded it and it showed that not enough people were watching. Shame. Hope it comes back somehow...whether that is Lifetime listening to it's fans or another network figuring out that it was a fantastic show and would really do well on a well known network. Too bad...

Listen to your viewers!! We obviously want to see this series return, even as a mid-season replacement. I too, made time each week to follow the story. I am disappointed that you don't intend to continue with this series. Instead you choose Project Runway? You should know your viewers are more than a bunch of vapid, shallow, fashion-mongers. Shame on you, Lifetime, shame on you.

I came to this site, and punched Runway into the search engine, to see what the boards will look like when you get the show. I then find the show that I love to be engineered for "vapid, shallow fashion mongers". I've made many great, and warm friends at the boards for that show, and you folks are already freaking me out. I don't even know if I want to come here now.

I can't believe this show is not coming back. I don't watch much tv but I made time for this show because it is a show that relates to other people's lives. Come on Lifetime, pay attention to what your viewer's want!!! Lifetime has a diverse demographic of viewer's and Side Order reached so many people in the same stage of live as the characters in the show. Many of us are in the same situation as Jenny or Viv.

I am really bummed that this program is not returning to your line-up. My hope is that it will appear on another cable station or major network, because it is that good! I looked forward to watching it each week, and that says a lot since I don't take in a great deal of television. I hope that you will reconsider the decision - did it not meet advertiser expectations? I can only do so much word of mouth. I think that if it was promoted that way you promote "Army Wives" (which I don't care for) you could greatly increase the viewership.
