oh it's all fun and games in the beginning of the fall when a bunch of new television shows try to grab our attention & viewership - the buzz is everywhere but then around this time of year - the cancellations start to flow in...shows lay slain in the gutter...i am very upset about two shows being cancelled (and soon there will be a very big third upset if FOX does indeed pull the plug on
arrested development - which i know they will)
first up is
reunion - okay i admit this show is a
drop cheesy - but the storyline is so damn addictive - i don't know if i can bear not finding how the whole thing wraps up - i'm a bit surprised with the big 'OC' lead-in that this show didn't fare better in the ratings war - plus what a neat concept for a show (very quickly it's about a group of high school student friends involved in a murder mystery - that spans 20 years from their graduation up until the present - each episode is one year - told via flashbacks from the present) - the music was also great as they went by each year - there will still be some more episodes airing on FOX (like tomorrow night) - i really hope they let this season play out its 20 episodes...we shall see - at least let them play out on DVD...i need to know what happens!
second up is
the apprentice: martha stewart - personally i got so sick of watching
donald trump do this show - so i found
martha stewart to be refreshing and a nice switch up - i really think what killed it was the fact that donald also ran a new season in tandem with martha - so two nights of 'the apprentice' is simply too much - and i think martha just got slaughtered like a sacrificial lamb - but if you have been watching (it's on tonight) - the tasks have been interesting - and honestly i just enjoy martha (i dig her daughter too) - i especially adore how martha writes goodbye letters to the person who leaves at the end of week - additionally the show theme song of eurythmics
sweet dreams was just the icing on the cake - i will be sad to see this go...and trump can go screw himself - next season he will be doing his show from the west coast - a lame attempt to reinvigorate his show...oh my martha - you carry on girl!
i am also
mildly peeved about ABC cancelling
alias - but i think it's five year run was enough - i think the 2nd & 3rd seasons best - especially any episodes with
lena olin - she is so wickedly cool - i hope they bring her back for the big series finale - and damn
jennifer garner is a house waiting to drop - she must have like 10 babies in her 'affleck infected' belly - i guess they all must arrive oh so soon...will be very interesting to see where garner's career goes after this...up or down?!?
but there is still good tv people - besides my favorite show
nip/tuck (which is just crazy at the moment - kimber is being held hostage by the carver - oh my!) - i really adore
grey's anatomy - i swear this show is totally tops - and
patrick dempsey is so my boyfriend - he just doesn't know it yet...
anyways yeah it is the end of november and i had my most unique visitors this month ever - it's a good steady climb and i am in for the long haul (everyday my friend
ck -
everyday! i so thank you for that bit of inspiration - it so helps) - i can't believe how the time is flying - i will be back tomorrow to ring in december - rock on - much love to all as always - xxoo
PS cancellations are the reason why i stick with shows like
days of our lives...40 years later and still on!
other TV cancellations include:
threshold, hot properties, night stalker, inconceivable, head cases, kitchen confidential, 'sex, love & secrets', just legal
