2009 TV Death Watch

[lupi]

Interesting, that list also has 11th hour are dead.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

RIP Reaper

I haven't watched The Unit since they took a break and then moved it to a different night. The original slot it was in was perfect. Too bad, I liked that show.

If they cancel Chuck, then I will no longer watch TV at all.

If they DON'T cancel Medium, then it doesn't matter because I don't watch that horrible show anyway.

Kings was interesting, but I never watched past the first ep due to conflicting TV schedules.

Anyone notice the dearth of Law/Drama shows? yeah - time for a new genre! Without a Trace has been going downhill anyway.

The rest of the shows... who the hell cares?

 

[Unheard]

I wish American Idol and all the CSI type shows would be on the list as well.

I see NOTHING official about Reaper being canceled. It may very well end up being axed (which would suck) but I believe the OP may be jumping the gun on making it sound official at this point.

The producers/writers left the show to start working on new shows. The show is dead.

With 5 epi's left I hope they tie up loose ends and give us a real ending.

I can't believe Kath and Kim ever even made it to pilot. I told my wife that it would be shot down after 6 episodes; it certainly lasted longer than I thought it would, but was a dumb, dumb, stupid, stupid show, made worse only by its washed up cast of B-list has-beens.

Wow, thanks for reminding me how little I know about television. I only really know King of the Hill, on that list.

was PB canceled? I don't really follow it, I thought they just decided to end it (see also: ER)

PB is airing it's last episodes on Fridays instead of it's old Monday timeslot. (Compared to House & 24, PB prob had sh!t for ratings)

haven't read the thread... is this season worth watching? i watched all of the others. i find the show got progressively worse with each season but i'm open to watching all of this season if it's worth it.

 

[rh71]

maybe Missy Peregrym (Reaper) and Sarah Shahi (Life) can find work on another show... together. <3

If you didn't like last season you won't like this season. I'm watching it b/c I've watched the show since E1. I agree it's gone downhill slightly, but how many prisons can you break out of really? The progression of the show has done what it can do. Makes me a little sad to see it end but there isn't much left the show can really do.

Cool. I'll probably download and watch it for sure. Last season wasn't too bad. I loved season 1 the most though. Epic.

Through iTunes or Amazon, amirite?

He's my least favorite character on the show... so just kill him off.

of course

Reaper and Chuck are both good but haven't hooked me into watching them regularly. The regulars are:

Mon: Heroes & Castle
Tuesday: Fringe
Friday: Dollhouse & Numbers (best night of television available and it's fricken Friday)

The shows that pile up on the DVR until I'm bored
Scrubs, NCIS, 2.5 men, Big Bang Theory

harper's island on CBS canceled (or not renewed, as the case may be)

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009...ate-cancellation/17162

things looking good for Southland and P&R if the numbers hold, but nothing in contract yet

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009...tion-are-keepers/17175

I?d be surprised to see all four of these shows renewed: Chuck, My Name is Earl, Law & Order, and Medium. But I?d be equally surprised to see all of them canceled. My guess is 3 of the 4 make it, including Law & Order.

Four other shows are certain to be canceled: Kings, Life, Knight Rider and Kath & Kim.

already? I never even watched it but it looked interesting. I just have too many interesting shows already.

Why is Harper's Island on the cancel list? This is a mini series and is only supposed to last one season so I wouldn't say its canceled. Not to mention that its won its time slot premiere week.

I came in here to say the exact same thing.

Maybe it is one of those deals where they hope a mini-series is successful enough to spawn a TV show ala Battlestar Galactica?

edit: from the link, yep:

Newcomer Harper?s Island was advertised as a 13 episode limited run series that could return in another incarnation if the results were good. They aren?t. It?s going to be canceled. After its 13 episode run, it?s done.

 

[WHipLAsh13]

That would have been stupid anyhow. They going to have some other psychopath go on a killling rampage on the same island? It's good they only run this one mini-season.

Seeing as the entire premise of the show is that people die off each week, I doubt it.

Also they wouldn't make a decision 2 episodes in on a show winning its time slot, unless TV execs were bigger morons than I thought.

Expect Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to be added to those lists.
