I am enjoying 'Revenge', it reminds me of the addictive nighttime soaps of yesteryear.

I think he is sounding a bit pretentious and up his own ass - I know he is working class (and proud of it) but he still comes across as pretentious.

Sure there should be gritty, realistic drama on TV - but who is he to tell people they shouldn't make costume drama and other TV programs - like Doctor Who! - that he considers inconsequential fluff, and who is he to preach to audiences what they should love on TV?

I think the dictatorship of the proletariat isn't any more attractive and desirable than the other kind of dictatorship.

So does this increase Caprica's chance for unexpected renewal, or will it mean bye-bye and don't let the door hit you on the way out?

as expected - no more Jeremy Northam - sob!

The Ghostwhisperer cancellation is a surprise to me - never watched it but I thought it was doing well.

I actually don't watch this show but I know it has its passionate and devoted fans. NBC dumped it and then TNT gave it a second chance and picked up the remaining episodes. But the ratings were decidedly underwhelming on TNT and all the ratings pundits thought it would be a goner. But instead TNT just gave it a third season.

So if you have a favourite show that gets lousy ratings and seems headed towards cancellation - don't lose hope - sometimes there are surprise renewals. This happens more on cable than network tv, but still....

Here are my current TV shows, these are all shows that I more than casually watch. I didn't list shows that I recently watched and that were cancelled (like Eastwick, sigh), or shows that I watch when they are not on hiatus (like Dexter, Sons Of Anarchy, Doctor Who, etc.) I cheated a bit with Lost which hasn't started up its final season quite yet, but it will in a few days.

One thing I notice looking at this Wordle that I used to watch a lot more TV shows just a few years ago. My viewing habits and patterns have really changed - probably due to Computer usage, netflix, etc.

Well, I can't say I am heartbroken - finale spoiler ( Collapse )

It's a summer series on NBC - so the chances it will be cancelled are very high, but it looks good, it has James Purefoy from Rome and Omar from The Wire - so please support the sexy men and give it a try.

It's a little bit something different - meaning not a reality show or a procedural or a spin-off from a procedural and those kind of programs are an endangered species on TV.

I am.
