@ColeFrost Thanks for the interesting reply :D
What a fantastic and telling but silly reason for something to Fail.
I don't want to contribute to overselling this to you or anyone else so I want to detail my thoughts on it a little more.
I find that the characters are great and it moves along perfectly and the plot is solid and it's fun and all, but I can't say to myself "I really like this show" (yet) for some reason.
On the positive hand again though, if i were to list good shows on paper, and organise them from best to worst iterating somewhat methodically- this would rise up and up for sure.
EDIT: Good show! Wish I could have more.

Many think it was cancelled because of its name. People think of dogs when they see the name and never bothered to tune in. Some suggested that they re-release the show under a new name and see what happens then.
I actually am planning to watch this as well. I'm not sure when I will get around to it, but I think it is worth the effort, from what I have heard.
I started watching this even though it's cancelled because it seemed to be worthwhile.
I'm only 5 episodes in and I'm enjoying it a lot - good call :)
This is the kind of TV where I really don't get how it fails. Seems to me like an all rounder. There is no convoluted serial plots. No hard to get laughs. Just quality entertainment that I would of thought was perfect for the masses.
I hope Shawn Ryan doesn't give up or something.
Another great show canceled :(
The show that makes me hate the American public for not watching it. Hank and Britt, you are sorely missed.
Canceled? Really? Oh, man... These channels have no clue. :\
Great show. It got a decent ending, so you won't get a Jericho feeling after watching the 13 episodes.
@Jakurdo Just listened it 3 times in a row. Great song indeed!
@Kiekebanus Btw, you can listen to the soundtrack of the show here: http://www.duncanmusic.com/
The title track, Gunfight Epiphany, is just awesome
@Kiekebanus Just read it, yeah. Such a shame :(
@Jakurdo I liked it too, unfortunately the show is cancelled. :(

Pretty amazing first season, hope they'll return with a second season. Didn't expect much of it at first, watched it because I like the 2 actors who play the lead roles (Donal Logue & Michael Raymond-James). But it was a pretty constant good show, and got great towards the end of the season. Definitely one of my favorite new shows this season. It didn't get much attention I think, certainly not outside the US, but it deserves to be watched in my opinion.
