So, CBS has canceled "Joan of Arcadia".
So, WB has canceled "Jack & Bobby".
So, UPN has canceled "Enterprise".
So, NBC this year canceled "LAX" & "Father of the Pride".
Fox has not come out with there fall schedule yet. I think that happens Thursday.
So, why is it that all the shows I seem to like are the ones that get canceled. Yes, it may just be that I watch crap & like it, but damn this is starting to piss me off. Any the networks wonder why I don’t watch TV that much anymore. Channels like USA, which has "MONK" and discovery which has "American Chopper" & "Myth Busters" are what I'm watching now. I do think that TNT & USA show a little too much Law & Order, but at least I know that any night of the week, I can prob catch an episode if I want. LOL. I think all the networks (NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, WB, and UPN) all need to take a lesson from the likes of HBO, USA, & Discovery and create new shows that are fun to watch. They need to stop it with the damn reality TV programming, cus that got old a long time ago.
I mean, even reality TV is nothing new, hell, MTV was doing it long before the networks were with shows like "Real World" & "Road Rules".
So, everyone feel free to comment with what programs you like that have been axed this year or for the up coming fall season. Because I wonder if I'm the only one, or if there are others out there like me.

As far as things being cancelled, I just don't think the networks know how to create a decent comedy or drama any more. There's not much territory they can cover because everything's been done to death. And because certain shows do well like the "CSI" and "Law & Order" series, it seems that network execs only care about shows that follow the same sort of formula. Because the TV networks are a business, they only really care about shows that consistently pull in 10's of millions of viewers -- nevermind if the show has a cult following, is well-written and has great actors, or has any other value that the average person feels is redeeming. It's all about money, and if they can't "sell" the show's viewership to advertisers, it's not worth their money to produce the show or the money required to put it on the air.
I'm still bitter about Firefly being cancelled a few years ago. =)
It was a show done by Joss Whedon. I don't recall which channel it was on, but basically, it's the origination of the upcoming movie, Serenity. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, I highly recommend going to http://trailers.apple.com and looking it up.
If it's 10% as good as the show was, it will still be amazingly awesome. Sadly, the show only lasted 13 episodes, but they are available on DVD.
I'm suprised about Joan of Arcadia. I thought it was popular.
I hope Judging Amy didn't get the boot...
Judging Amy makes me want to hack people into little pieces, though. Sorry :)
I hope they spin it off.
Yes, I very much have to agree with that. Thats what made the show great. It had a good story line, and cute guys. lol.
