I found this site while looking for information as to the status of this particular show, not knowing if it was meant to be a pre-season filler or an attempt at a regular time-slotted show. I found "The American Embassy" to be quite entertaining. It mixes just the right amount of drama and comedic relief, in my opinion. And no, Emma is no Ally. I tired of Ally MacBeal after the first season. Ms. Bareikas' character (Emma) appealed to me as a "regular", identifiable person, not to mention being very easy on the eyes.
It's a shame, though not surprising, that Fox has decided to cancel this show. Given what they currently choose to broadcast, I guess it just wasn't ignorant or vulgar enough - in the minds of the Fox Exec's - to remain in their lineup. I've yet to speak to anyone who watched it that didn't enjoy it.
Admittedly, after reading the previously posted comments I can't decide if I want to chuckle or shake my head. Comments such as (I'm paraphrasing) "they are not using the actual embassy building" or "the tossing of the football made a mockery of the staff meetings" is petty criticism at best. This was network television people. If you want a historically accurate docudrama tune into Discovery or the History Channel.
