"The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet" ends its run June 12

Jay Leno's final "Tonight Show" got mountains of hype, but who will mourn the passing of "The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet"? The syndicated chat show ends its run tomorrow after 2 1/2 years with TV legend Betty White and regular guests Geraldo Rivera and Jeanine Pirro. Reruns will continue airing during the rest of the summer.

"The Morning Show" will likely be best remembered for spawning the "Spaghetti Cat" meme. The program cut to an odd clip of a cat eating spaghetti during an interview about binge drinking -- presumably it was used instead of "bleep"ing a curse word. For a while, the cat became a regular feature on E!'s satirical show "The Soup."

    That spaghetti cat moment was so great. Total randomness at its best and it was hilarious.

    I watched the show every day. The best talk show on TV. It's real and interesting. I can't believe you're doing away with it. I love the hosts Mike and Juliette and and their interaction. Please bring the show back.

    Do people think posting "please bring back the show" on a random website will actually help??

    Talk Show News is powerful, but not THAT powerful. Of course, until I added a disclaimer to my lineups page that said "I am not connected in any way with the producers or stars of any late night talk show," I used to regularly get emails from people asking if I could book them to appear on such-and-such a show. There are a lot of not-so-smart folks out there.

    Please bring this show back. I love watching it after Regis and Kelly every day. I guarantee you that Wendy is not a good followup.

    The show should have featured the proposal to stop child abductions seen at http://trenton.2ya.com
