TV talk

[cornerofmadness]

I know my parents will be upset Flashforward was canceled. I never saw the show but it sounded interesting. Figures, they cancel more scripted TV and leave crappy reality shows on. I really don't need to see the greed epitomized by Survivor or Amazing Race or any of the others. (At least the Biggest Loser accomplishes something positive)


Heroes was canceled and I'm not really sad about it. It was beyond time. The first season was lightning in a b ottle and they never recaptured it. I won't feel torn about not wanting to watch.

Law and Order I watched this for 20 years. I will miss it. I didn't watch it this year much I will still miss it. Ihave no interest in seeing a new one.

Speaking of L&O, does anyone know if criminal intent will be renewed since it wasn't on NBC any more and that's the news article I was reading. Oddly I thought i'd miss Bobby more than I do. I like Jeff Goldblum's character. I'm probably a minority.

I know Fringe was renewed and NCIS and outside of Cops and America's Most Wanted (which yes, I suppose are technically reality tv ironically) there's not much more that I watch any more. Criminal Minds which should be renewed

I know they're redoing the Rockford Files. WHY? WHY WHY? Is there literally NO originality left in Hollywood? Didn't the Bionic Woman and Knight Rider teach them anything?

The physical therapist isn't happy with my progress and neither am I. Might want to see another orthopedic surgeon to be sure something isn't really wrong

Wow, that fire breathing dragon is amazing.

Hmmm...I want to know now about the shows on USA I wind up watching and enjoying.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

which shows?

yes this whole set of new dragons are pretty

Burn Notice, Psych, what's the other one I just started watching with the second banana who resembles Lyle Lovett....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh right burn notice and psych and the closer will be on soon. I have no idea who you mean. that doctor thing?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

No, I don't like doctor things. They work with the witness protection program.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

in plain sight

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's the one.

Ah, dammit. I knew it wasn't likely FlashForward could be saved, but I managed to retain some HOPE. And the cancellation has come too late for them to wrap the story up in the finale, naturally. I hate ABC.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i dont even get the cancellation. the numbers were pretty good.

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Beats the hell out of me. I never have figured out how ratings work. Crap show after crap show stays on the air and everything I like gets the shaft. I still can't figure out how LOST made it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah i don't get it either. wonders how one goes about becomnig a nielsen family

Criminal Intent's schedule on USA is such that they don't announce whether its going to be picked up until after the networks do their upfronts. It'll probably be another month or so until they announce whether or not they're going to pick it up.

I haven't watched L&O for several seasons, but from everything I've heard, this has been a good season. Guess I'll have to catch it on Netflix. Hard to believe I was 9 when the show debuted.

Can't shed any tears over Heroes. I thought Season Four was the closest they came to being decent again. Still not close to Season One. From the cliffhanger ending, I'm not sure I could have stuck around for another season.

Really happy Chuck got renewed. It's my favorite network show behind Lost and just ahead of Fringe.

I've been watching V and Flashforward, and if I had to choose, I'd have chosen V to renew, which did get picked up.

I was in medical school I guess with L&O came on.

that's true about USA. Bah. Hell I can't even tell what summer programs are coming back when.

Yeah I was not watching Heroes again if it had been renewed.

I've never seen chuck either.I should probably netflix it

the only "RTV" I've actually watched was Britain's Worst Driver - possible because they didn't take themselves at all seriously, participants at least seemed to try to learn to be better and the "winner" was a very gracious "loser" indeed.

It's gotten to the point where I don't go back and start watching a show until I know if it's been renewed; I didn't see the first episode of Castle until S1 was over, and then we devoured it in about a week.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i can see why you would take that approach

The original Law and Order was really the only one worth watching, but they kept messing with it... Too many cast changes.

And Fringe has started the slow cycle of losing me. But, it has absolutely no competition (thank you DVR) so we shall see...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i didn't mind the cast changes. I liked that actually. Kept me from geting bored.

I liked all of them b ut eventually CI took the favored role. I gave up on SVU when it suddenly became the elliot & olivia show with their personal traumas every week.

I thought Fringe was getting much better.I'm finally looking forward to it instead of eh, nothing else on might as well watch

I watched a few episodes - FlashForward had a really good premise, but it was poorly cast (Joseph Fiennes was really bad fit for his character) and badly written. Good idea, just done badly.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i know so many people who loved it (parents included) but I never saw it so I couldn't say. Apparently a lot more people saw it your way
