Living a life I couldn’t even dream of with GIANTS daily. God is good. Thank you for watching. Want you to know we had a 100% [Rotten Tomatoes] score. Nobody’s ever done that. We made REAL s— and I’m good with it. I wasn’t supposed to be here… Grateful.”
While The Big Leap didn’t find a big audience, it did find a vocal one who made their displeasure with the cancelation abundantly clear. “Absolutely furious that The Big Leap has been canceled. That was some great network television,” tweeted one viewer. “Why am I doomed to fall in love with shows that are just about to be canceled?” wrote another. “So I’m not surprised that The Big Leap was canceled, but I AM sad,” tweeted another viewer. “Good lord, just let me keep a Scott Foley show. HAS NO ONE ELSE SEEN HIM? He is MESMERIZING on screen. Give him back to me.”
