grr...Life was one of my favorites if not my favorite (after Supernatural)

Castle better come back. Dollhouse just started to get good but it looks like its already setting a pace to end. Eleventh Hour had good stories...a bit too complicated for the Nielsen's though.

Whatever, I need to watch less TV anyways. Supernatural, Castle, Burn Notice (June 4), and TrueBlood (June 14) are what I'm left with.

There's a bucketload of shit on that list I'd be more than glad to see go and yet it keeps getting renewed.

I've been watching Southland, it's been pretty good so far. It's an interesting depiction of beat cops and detectives in LA. The detectives are probably the weaker part of the show, seeing as how Law & Order (and all it's spin-offs) does it better.

Yup and they keep cancelling the good ones

Dirty Sexy Money: Officially canceled.
Eli Stone: Officially canceled.

Two of the better more original programmes where as

Samantha Who?: Could go either way.

Is complete and utter crap who adverts on E4 (UK TV) offend me greatly.

Reaper: It's a goner

These network guys are just out to ruin my day

Not really surprised, it's alright, but I dunno, just not feeling it in season 2.

I'm surprised the unit is listed as a long shot, it continues to please.

Insipid crap we're all sick to death of: Already renewed.
Churned-out mass-appeal brainless drivel: Sure thing.
Original, interesting programming: Officially canceled.

A typical Nielsen Family

Castle: <s>Could go either way.</s> Now a safe bet.

Rightly so.

Eleventh Hour: <s>Could go either way. Now a long shot.</s> Hearing the crew is looking for other work

Shame that, I rather enjoyed it while it lasted, perhaps too different for ratings win.

:other:

King of the Hill: Officially canceled.

surprised it lasted that long.

Ever wondered what would happen if you gave a raving lunatic an orchestra to play with?

Turns out it's something like This, and lo! it is good, though there's a few recycled bits from older stuff.

Apparently it's a 2hr thing, but cut for tv viewings.

I'm glad about Castle and also sad about 11th Hour. It was smart...a bit too smart for the Nielsen's though

Whilst I do agree with this statement, its also interesting to note that the only telly i actually bother watching is all listed there as being renewed. Lucky me.

Having said that, I don't actually watch a lot of telly.

I'm still baffled as to why they renewed Two and a Half Men - it's atrocious.

Name me a prime-time program that isn't.

Monday's dying. Castle, House, Big Bang Theory ends this week, 24 in two weeks.

Oh yeah, Heroes finished.

*shrugs*

They seem to have a knack of letting the series go right down halfway through. Ballbags.

Got quite a sheen to it...

Heroes - want to love it, got too damn meh for me. Think they've been letting JJ loose on how long a series should last.*

*slightly longer than valve would take to create and deploy an entirely new graphics engine.

Having had watched all but the first season now, I kinda disagree.

The deaths are mostly less nasty, but not by much, and there is a little more cuteness goes on, but there's (IMO) not much in it.

Personally, I wasn't really watching it for silly nasty CG, if I want to see someone's head smeared down a wall, I'll just look on the internets.

Hmm

NBC has finalized a deal to bring Chuck back for a third season, multiple sources confirm.

That's the good news. Here's the bad news: The 13-episode pickup came after Warner Bros. agreed to make significant budget concessions, including scaling back the number of episodes several members of the show's stellar supporting cast will appear in and, per one insider, possibly eliminating one actor altogether (R.I.P. Anna Wu?). The show is also expected to cut two of its staff writers.

Possible shark jumping this season.

Right, Castle confirmed, The Unit sadly is a very very long shot now. Bones renewed for 2 seasons. Fox also ordered a Family Guy spin-off, if anyone watches that, called The Cleveland Show.

New season talk type thread thing.
