Wow, I had thought My Name Is Earl was actually pretty popular. :dunno:
Yeah, it actually was. But due to poor program planning by NBC and a slight decline in writing quality, the shows ratings took a nosedive during the second half of the season.
They also move the time slot around which fucks up the show too.
That's exactly the reason why a lot of good shows won't return. Nobody knows when to watch and consequently the ratings are poor. You tune in just to get the info, that the show will return in three weeks. You tune in three weeks later just to find out, that you already missed an episode.... :dunno: and on and on and on like that...
The Simpsons will end on their own terms. Is that the same as being cancelled?
Yeah, sorry, I should have specified that. Some shows weren't cancelled but ended on their own terms (for example a planned series finale like in
Battlestar Galactica, which also will not return next season).
Prison Break for example ended on it's own terms this season.
Those are the 2 cancellations that piss me off.
I was kinda frustrated about that, too. Life and Pushing Daisies were great shows.
They should have gotten rid of "Boston Legal" along time ago and brought back "the Practice".
Actually,
Boston Legal will not return next season. I apparently forgot to put them on the list. But I don't think they'll bring back "The Practice".
But don't worry, there will be a lot of new law shows, for example The Deep End, U.S. Attorney or The Good Wife.
No mention of NBC's "Chuck", which had a Kick-ass season finale, and is a really good show. I hope the fan ruckus will convince NBC to keep it for at least one more season.
H
NBC has announced that
Chuck will return, but with a shorter season of 13 episodes. But the negotiations for that must have been pretty though. Rumor has it that even some of the characters will be written of the show to reduce costs.
I think it's pretty safe to say Knight Rider has been canceled.
Knight Rider has definitely been cancelled, yes. That decision was already made back in March, if I remember correctly.
But, i did not see Supernatural. I think CW announces their shit a little later.
Supernatural will return on CW as well as
90210,
Gossip Girl,
One Tree Hill, and
Smallville. I'm not a big fan of the shows on CW. That's probably why I forgot to list them.
There are a lot of new seasons I'm looking forward to. Sons of Anarchy, Weeds, United States Of Tara, Breaking Bad or How I Met Your Mother for example.
And I'm glad to see that Southland will get a second season after it's first season had only seven episodes (due to the may strikes, contract negotiations and cutbacks within the last 18 months).
