There are a few I've never even heard of, a few that I thought were already canceled, a few that I thought SHOULD be canceled, but ultimately I'm happy 'Castle' made it to season 2.

Harper's Island, I thought, was just a mini-series, but its listed as not being renewed. It better not be - if I don't find out who did it by ep 13, I'm gonna cut a bitch.
Den 16 years ago
Harper's Island was advertised as only running from April to July, from the beginning. Maybe they hoped it might turn into a series, but I never heard it promoted as anything but a limited run. And yea, I only began watching because I was sure they'd expose the killer before the end of the series.

Glad to hear bout Dollhouse, was hoping the Sara Chronicles might pull thru. Pisses me off how they ended that one even more now that it won't be coming back. Lie to Me hubby and I already figured was a shoo in since it seems pretty popular. Supernatural yay! CSI's yay! Rest, meh dun watch anything else really lol
ROzbeans 16 years ago
I'd been meaning to watch 'The Unusuals', but now it's being canceled =/
Lillyanna-Windmane 16 years ago
House is about the only thing I watch aside from a few shows on TLC and Discovery. Hope they keep it up! :) Heroes I just rent on dvd to watch the whole thing at once. hehe
Eve 16 years ago
That's how we do Supernatural LoL I do watch House, but only occasionally when they have it on one of the repeat networks.
ROzbeans 16 years ago
I saw the finale of House this season. With him and chick making out. That was the ending, right?
Lessa 16 years ago
I think I prefer the USA shows now hehe, Burn Notice and Without a Trace.. which I already know are onto the next seasons.. Bones and House we do watch as well, but they are more the man's shows than mine.
Eve 16 years ago
Oh! I forgot bout Burn Notice. We have the first season, waiting for the second to come out, and I'm gonna start DVR'ing the third when it starts here in June :D Love that one!
Verileah 16 years ago
I think that Kings could have made an -amazing- show if it had a better time slot and plenty of creative control. The first few episodes were brilliant but it started to get desperate. If they had stuck with the driving force behind the first few episodes instead of making it all 'omg teh bibble is SEXY see?' I think it really could have gone somewhere. Not all the acting was that good but King Silas was excellent and I think the kid playing David was getting better.

Anyway, it was a neat take on something other than another cop/doctor/lawyer show.

I'm liking Dollhouse and am happy it made it to another season. I'm excited for Glee, but confused about how they plan to release it, with the first episode this week and the next in late summer. Like my ADD ass is going to remember this show in three months :(.

Is Fringe any good? Was told its sorta like the X Files was.

'Til Death: Already renewed (unfortunately).


My mom loves this show, but yea, I don't get it either.

LOL - I like Fringe, though still not in love with the female lead, but she's gradually getting better, and doesn't ruin it for me. It is similar to X-Files without the chemistry between the leads; however, there are other characters that fill in for the lead's lack of personality.

The season finale was somewhat shocking.
ROzbeans 16 years ago
Every good male/female cop/scientist show will forever be compared to Mulder and Scully. In fact, I finally sat down and watched an episode of 'Bones' after hearing that it was the AWESOMENESS from a lot of people. It was the one with the cancerous skin graft in the FBI director's daughter. Booth, the FBI agent even says to 'Bones' that they could be Mulder and Scully after she demanded on being able to join him out in the field and not just be a 'squint'.

It's interesting though, she's incredibly smart but has almost no pop culture, social experience. He's the feeler, she's the brain. Her jawline bugs me, but I've watched the first 4 season 1 ep's and now I gotta find the rest. Phooey.
Verileah 16 years ago
Meh, Glee turned pretty so-so.
