No Third Season For "Noah's Arc"

Yesterday, National Public Radio’s News&Notes reported that MTV Logo representatives had in fact confirmed a third season of its hit series “Noah’s Arc.”

Today, Logo issued a press release announcing the development of a “Noah’s Arc” movie, not exactly a third season.

So what happened?  My guess, and it is just that, is that Logo canceled the show and offered the movie as a consolation prize.  It makes sense to me that if you want to silence the criticism for canceling the show that you would wait until the last day possible to make the announcement without really making the announcement, if you know what I mean.  Hey, who's going to be upset the series is canceled when there's the possibility of a movie in the works?  Now back to the NPR interview that says point blank in plain English that Logo representatives confirmed a third season.  My guess again, is that someone over at Logo fucked up royally.

NEW YORK, NY – January 24, 2007 – Logo, a division of Viacom Inc.’s (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) MTV Networks, today announced that it plans to bring Noah’s Arc, its hit flagship series about four African-American gay friends in Los Angeles to the silver screen in 2008 as Logo’s first original theatrical film. Noah’s Arc will join Sex and the City, Star Trek and The Simpsons as yet another fan-driven series finding a home at the multiplex, opening the door to greater storytelling depth, expanded creative opportunities and new audiences. Currently in development, the film is expected to pick up after the show’s second season cliffhanger finale and continue with an even bolder and provocative storyline. The film will leave the door open for sequels, additional television seasons and specials. The series is created by and executive produced by Patrik-Ian Polk and his Tall Skinny Black Boy Productions.

yeah logo yall need to bring the show back.. we have come so far and not for yall to take the show off the air set us back i thing the show correctly displays us as a community and the trials we face this is bullshit bring the show back....what about the pople that look to that show as a way out something needs to happen...

[Tarva]

I GUESS THE FIGHT MUST CONTINUE.... I saw the movie before I watched the show, I know it was backwards, but I fell in love. There is no reason that Will & Grace, Queer as Folk, or The L word should have gone on for so many seasons and Noah's Arc stopped at two with a movie. This show is great and uplifting. It also helped to bring so many people to Logo who would've not known about the station otherwise. Alot of people had to pay extra to get this channel, and did for this show. Then continued to watch other shows on it. We need Noah's Arc as much as Logo does. BRING IT BACK!!!!!

p.s. I'm a straight woman....

please bring back noahs arc. i pay exrra for logo because of that show. what kind of business does logo run when they dont explain why they took the show off. bbring it back.

[NAYA]

This is crazy. Im a straight female and I have to say Noah's Ark is my favorite show on tv right now. Is there anything we can do? Anyone we can write to? Im glad about the movie but I really would like them to come back for a third season. I just got my best friend hooked on the show and that would really suck if they just ended it now.

[Michelle]

This sucks that the show is canceled. I love the show. LOGO needs to handle their bizz and get the show up and running again!

[Shawntez]

Ok let's get this straight I'm a straight man but I have a gay best friend who first told me about the show Noah's Arc and when I found out that my friend was gay to me I thought I would have a problem with it but you know I really don't because I see nothing wrong with gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgenders because I think if we wanted respected we have to show it to get it I mean for every straight person out there in this world today male or female mostly male cause it seems they are the ones who dislike males sexually of liking another male more than female put yourself in a gay, transgenders, lesbian, or bisexual shoes and live there life for a week or two and see what it feel likes to get picked on and teased and beating by people everyday. When my friend first came out to me it was hard accepting it but you know you have to treat people the way you wanted to be treated and after watching Noah's Arc this television series showed me how to love some one who is different from you, not judge them cause there color of there skin the gender or sex type that they are but for who they are inside as a person so my purpose of writing this is because I think you let Noah's Arc stay on television get this series on more channels so you can get more ratings people will see how life is hard most of the time when you have to go thru different stages trying to fit in when you shouldn't have to..

I am a MALE thats is STRAIGHT and I don't care what nobody say I'm not gay, I do have some gay people in my family and friends but gay people are the coolest people you will ever meet in your life there sometimes better then the straight people try getting to know them instead of beating or stereotyping them.

God Bless
I'm Praying For Noah's Arc Give Us More Season Please

[unknown]

LOOK IM STRAIGHT AND MY FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT NOAH'S ARC IVE SEEN SEASON 1 ND 2 ND I LOVED IT BUT U CANT LEAVE YOUR AUDIENCE HANGIN I MEAN WHAT HAPPENS WITH WADE AND NOAH C'MON I WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET THE SHOW TO AIR AGAIN.

BY THE WAY IM A GIRL

[Kaype]

I can honestly say Noah's ARC is my favorite show of all time and I can watch the reruns for the rest of my life but I don't want too, I'd rather see new episodes I'm still waiting to find out what going to happen between the epic romance of Noah and Wade. Yes, I'm looking forward to the movie especially after seeing the hilarious clips but I want the real thing NOW!!

[Missy]

Please bring Noah's Arc back. I truly enjoy the show. I am not gay but I enjoyed seeing African American men that were proud to admit who they are. I am into the show that I check local listings weekly to see if the network has changed there mind. Noah Arc was the only reason why I watched LOGO and now that it no longer on the network I just flip right through. Please, Please listen to the fans and bring the show back, each actor are very talented and they did a great job bring there character to like. Noah's Arc please, Please bring it back.

[Brenda Williams]

Please bring Noah's Arc back on. I just started watching it and love it. I am not gay, but I enjoyed the realness of the relationships.

[monique malloy]

[POIC]

hey LOGO can i get yall to bring Noah's ARC back (i'm a straight male) my wife and her friends use to love that show they even got me and their husbands into that show regretably we didn't get to catch the show from the beginning so my wife went on line and bought both seasons and sence i'm in the military i'm always gone i didn't know that the show was getting canceled she was so mad that she asked me if their was something that we can do about that i told her no that we couldn't do nothing about that she had gotton mad at me and didn't call me for two weeks as if i canceled the show. she don't watch your network anymore and now that she don't have nothing to watch anymore (she brings up if Noah's Arc was on)she goes and try to find something else that, that guy Patrick-Ian produced. So i'm asking as a straight male can you please bring that show back (i'm asking for myself and my wife)it was a real good show the best i've seen on your network she is plaining on getting your network back when you put Noah's back on the air.

To the person who said that the Big Gay Sketch Show is better than Noah's Arc, are you kidding me?! I liked the first season, but I found the second to be infantile and insulting, as an African-American male. The two comedians featured this season have portrayed characters that were totally stereotypical. I think Rosie and Amanda Bearse need to realize that not all African-Americans are loud and obnoxious.

[Leigh]

LOGO has just followed the same game plan as FOX, UPN & the WB. They produce programming targeted for the African-American community to boost viewership and once that has been achieved, they cancel the programs. NOAH had more than one life to live and I have doubts about this so-called movie. I bet you it will be direct to video.

[E.J. Williams]

How can you guys even think of cancelling Noah's Arc? I mean it is such an inspiration and uplifting program for everyone, especially the gay, black communtiy. I am a 19 year old black male who was and still is on the "DL", but watching Noah's Arc has given me the confidence to be open about who I am. No I'm not flamboyant out there or anything, but it has given me guidance to how I should tell my parents. Only two of my friends know, but this show has has an amazing impact on me.
Through comedy, drama, and real life experiences, Noah's Arc guides those who are unsure about what to do when they are faced with this situation and the other similar situations on the show. Hopefully, it returns for a third season because many gay, bi, and even straight people tune in to watch Noah's Arc.. I even introduced one of my friends to it today and he just had to watch both seasons. I mean if just episode 1 of season 1 could get him that interested, what does that say about the show? It has to have something special about it. The deep, connection between lovers, the power of friendship and brotherhood is what Noah's Arc entails. Yes the men are truely sexy, especially Noah and Wade, which are my favorites, but there is no nudity which has to tell something, viewers dont watch it for sexual pleasure, they watch it because they like it. Queer as Folk contained nudity, therefore, they probably had alot of ratings. Noah's Arc has probably just about the same amount of ratings without the nudity. So why is Queer as Folk continuing to televize?

[Jb]

The reason why "The Big Gay Sketch Show," got picked up again is because it is the best show on LOGO, hands down. Yes, there were some issues with sets and wigs and writing, but the show is finding it's footing and should run for years to come. It is the smartest Gay show around because it is telling the joke about it's own people and there is no other show like that. Noah's Ark has just too small of a target audience and the bottom line is no one really cares about the show.

[Mizznikkilee]

I think logo Cancelling Noah's Arc was the worst move they could have made. this was the first Black gay show in histoy and it was good better in than Queer as folk and they every day. As two black Straight Females we have have to express our disappointment over this move to cancel this powerful and great show. we never been so captured by this type of show before. But most importantly it was because of this this show we watched Logo.

[LaShawn Watkins]

How unfortunate that Noahs Arc has been cancelled, with the promise of a movie that may never come! This was not only a good show, but more importantly a good BLACK show, everyone I know was watching LOGO exclusively for this show only!! Being a black gay show prob had something to do with the final decisions that were made. I found it strange that Noahs Arc was shown no where near as often as Queer as folk and it was a new show. Queer as folk is on all day everyday showing reruns. Honestly I do not even watch LOGO after Noahs Arc nothing else holds my attention.

[youngbjock]

man how yall gon cancel noah and the gang that is one of the best soap's i don eva seen and how r yall gon just cut da show like dat i mean really does wade and dre die does alex and tre adopt a baby i mean real talk dats stupid yall r going 2 lose a hell of a lot of viewers.

[shannon Greene]

hey please do the third season at least finish the last story, i mean i dont know if wade died or not and did noah and the rapper i forgot his name did they get together did alex and his boyfriend did they end up with a child and whatever happen to the two chicks that were married how are they doing the gays really needs this so just work something out for the nation of gays good day

[TRAN]

YOU GUYZ ARE NUTS, YOUR NETWORK NAME SHOULDN'T BE LOGO IT SHOULD BE LOCO WITH BIG BOLD LETTERS.. I'M A TRANSEXUAL MALE AND I HAVE INTRODUCED NOAH'S ARC TO MY STRAIGHT FEMALE FRIENDS AND THEY LOVE THE SHOW. THEY'VE SAID BEYOND ALL THE EXTRA SEXUAL CONTENT ITS A REALLY GOOD SHOW. PLUS, WHY LEAVE THE AUDIENCE ON HIGH-END LIKE THAT WITH THE SEASON FINALE LIKE SEASON 2 HAD, THAT IS NOT COOL AT ALL.. I WON'T WATCH YOUR NETWORK AGAIN BECAUSE NOAH'S ARC WAS THE ONLY GOOD SHOW ON THERE, TO BE TOTALLY HONEST. I TOLERATED THE OTHER SHOWS BECAUSE I'M IN THE LIFE AND I SUPPORT ALL THINGS, PEOPLE, AND PLACES THAT REPRESENT ME. BUT YOU'VE LOST ONE TRUE FAN..

TRULY & SINCERELY
TRAN

[Deborah]
