The First Disheartening Loss
20 April 2009
I know I'm just repeating what so many have already written, but I need to add my voice to this

This was the one - the very first one - that made me feel a deep and true melancholy the day I realized it was gone from the airwaves. Every time another 'too good for the masses' series has suffered the same fate, it's this title that rushes to mind.

It's difficult to express exactly why I fell in love with it so deeply. It was so quiet. So real. So human. Incredibly fast it had become as comfortable and soothing as home and family on a chill day and I remember feeling all-day joy when I knew that tonight's the night 'It's A Man's World' is on. And then, without mercy, it was gone. Ripped away.

It was just the beginning of heartbreaks, of course. A little more than a year later 'Hollywood And The Stars' would be taken from us after a single season of greatness. And on it's gone through the years. But 'It's A Man's World' was the first and still brings forth the sharpest remembrance of uncomprehending loss. How could the people not see what it was?
