The funny thing is there really are none that I am too excited about

Just happy to have the CBS lineup coming back (Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, etc.)


Worst Week and Gary Unmarried look like potentials I will try out, we shall see!

 

[Steve Mehs]

Eleventh Hour, The Mentalist, My Own Worst Enemy, The Goode Family, Life On Mars, The Cleveland Show, Dollhouse, Fringe and The Oaks are all the shows I will be checking out this year, so the majority of those will be gone after 6 episodes.

Night Rider will go and if it was on any other network besides the CW, 90210 would be axed as well. How many series remakes have there been in the past few years? The Fugitive, Twilight Zone, Night Stalker, Bionic Woman.

 

[n3ntj]

I voted for all of them to be cancelled. I don't need any more new shows.

 

[petergaryr]

The only ones I'll be checking out are Fringe, Mentalist and Eleventh Hour. I hope I don't like them and get hooked....that will surely be their death knell.

 

[Grentz]

Remakes are just marketing/placment gimicks in most cases, not many true remakes can I say I have truly enjoyed.

 

[phrelin]

Sons of Anarchy (FX), The Starter Wife (USA), and Raising The Bar (TNT) won't be canceled, but whether they go another season is always up for grabs on the cable channels. (Samurai Girl is a "miniseries" scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.)

The networks you almost have to take night by night. But of your list, NBC is likely to be a complete washout.

The CBS comedies will depend upon which, among the three hours they have programmed this fall, will shuffle off and which will be on later this year in the two hour Monday night lineup.

"The Ex List" may survive a season if CBS doesn't expect too much in that Friday night slot.

"The Mentalist" is sandwiched between "NCIS" and "Without a Trace", so it may survive, but only if somehow Fox's "House" and "Fringe" don't draw as strong an audience as I expect.

"Life on Mars" may be the winner ABC expects, but the "Ugly Betty" and "Grey's Anatomy" leads into it is odd. The lineup of "Eleventh Hour" (CBS) and "Life on Mars" (ABC) in the same time slot is ironic since they are both retooled British somewhat-science-fiction-sort-of-cop-drama shows. I have hopes for both, but I know that is foolish. Of the two, the British "Life on Mars" was the more interesting concept.

"Do Not Disturb" is just filler.

 

[merchione]

You forgot testees on FX it looks promising also Fringe, Gary Unmarried looks pretty good.

 

[inkahauts]

Thats why I usually record all of them and only watch the returning shows for a couple weeks until I know they will at least make it for a couple months!

 

[dave29]

i voted for them all because i dont think that any of them will be around long

 

[Stuart Sweet]

I hope Kath and Kim dies quietly and quickly. I suspect Do Not Disturb will go quickly as well, it seems like a bit of a retread. Finally, I voted for Life on Mars as this is the only show I'm really jazzed about right now and well, with my luck... it will last two episodes.

 

[armophob]

The only one I will watch is Knight Rider. So I suspect it will be canceled.

 

[Doug Brott]

Knight Rider should enjoy a pretty decent run if it's kinda like the pilot/movie from earlier this year AND they up the ante on the writing. I realize the first round was a bit of a hack job due to the writers strike, but in the long run it needs to be taken up just a notch.

I'm much more hopeful of this show than I ever was with Bionic Woman.

+1

I hate watching two to five episodes of something that get's canceled. If we were a Nielsen household, I'd do it differently but my watching a new show isn't going to help.
