The Axe/Renewal Thread (Finale)

The Event was DOA when it made its comeback because a massive break, spring weather on return and the ratings were already falling before. Even on NBC the show has 0% chance of returning.
You forgot the horrible writing didn't help either.
 
CSI:NY/The Good Wife - Seemed to have nailed its place on fridays for a final season in 2011/2012 BUT the recent news about The Good Wife signing up actors to a 2 years deal to go with a 2 year pickup has thrown that in doubt. The Good Wife surley cannot stay on a non friday night meaning CSI:NY would have to be axed to make room.
oddly I just dont see CSI NY being axed, and CSI should really be on its final season, next fall.
 
CSI is still a top 10 show. No way it's going anywhere.
the problem is the stars are going somewhere, Warrick left, Grissmon left, Catherine will be in only a few episodes next season, and the show has struggled to find new characters, unlike Miami & NY that have introudced new characters and largely gotten away with it.

People are really going to have to like Ray next series, or the show simply wont survive.

11 seasons (12 next season) is a good long run, no shame in putting the show to bed sonner rather than later at this stage.
 
Awwww... I like $&!* My Dad Says and Human Target. Call 'em guilty pleasures but I find them entertaining. I especially like the "Dad's" supporting cast. Will Sasso is just freakin' hilarious. He's got great timing and facial expressions! I like the whole cast of Target too. Well except the rich bitch who's trying to run things now. But she's not so bad as to turn me off from the show. I'll never understand how something so completely creepy and crappy as Glee can make it and Human Target can't find an audience.

Well, the show survived the loss of Warrick, Grissom, and a large chunk of episodes without Sara. I think the other characters could carry the show for a few more years. I doubt CBS would ever end it without it having a serious dip in ratings (relative to other shows).
 
I would be surprised to see CSI remain at 9pm thursday though the most likely swith would be to change around with The Mentalist which is very impressive for a 10pm show in both viewers and the demo. I've heard a few TV experts say they believe CSI should go back to fridays to end next season but I think were a year or two away from that.

CSI NY will be the first to go and then CSI: Miami, I think CSI (Vegas) could go for 15 seasons.

true about Warrick & Grissmon, but Sarah was no real loss to the show, and she came back.
 
You know, I gave Mad Love a shot and I've really been enjoying it.

Oddly the reason I've been enjoying it has nothing to do with the lead couple, but the supporting couple.

I've really been hoping to see the story develop between those two.

If you take that dynamic away, I can totally see giving it the ax, but with them there, I really would like for it to get at least another half-season pickup.

Other shows on the edge I want to hang onto include:
Nikita
Chuck
Human Target
and (even though it's DOA now), Chaos as Kurtwood Smith & Tim Blake Nelson's scenes in the last episode to air were just fantastic.
 
What is in the Tea leaves for The Event? Granted I think I am probably the only one who still watches and still relatively enjoys it....

Nope, your not the only one who still watches and enjoys The Event. I like & enjoy it too. So does another family member.

That said, I've had a feeling for awhile now that it wouldn't be back next season. It just hasn't been doing good ratings wise...

Shows I'd to see come back, but I know they won't:

Detroit 1-8-7: Really well written/well acted show.

No Ordinary Family: Its not perfect, but it can be a fun show imo. I think, given more time, it could get better. It won't get more time though.

Human Target: Only if they'd get rid of the two women characters. The reboot of the show just didn't work for me. The first season was better.

Stargate Universe: Ya, I know its already canceled. Still, this show has been so GREAT lately. I wish someone would pick it up or something. *sigh*

I am glad that it looks like Hawaii Five-0 and Supernatural will be back. HF-0 is much better than expected and Superntural is STILL a really good show.

I also hope if Blue Bloods comes back they don't change it into a generic procedural...

I'm also really happy Fringe was renewed. Excellent show.

Here's hoping some good new shows are announced, since it looks like quite a few shows I liked this season won't be coming back...

Did you read that's exactly what they are doing?

Tom Selleck apparantly threaten to quit early in the shows reign when they tried to make it very procedural so I don't think Tom will be a happy bunny if they try it again.
 
The CW have renewed...The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, 90210, Supernatural and America’s Next Top Model. So that leaves Nikita, One Tree Hill and Hellcats fighting for pickups.
 
^
I saw that. I am not surprised but really do loathe GG & 90210. :ack:
 
GG & 90210. :ack:

In the female demo The CW craves, GG beats 90210 in all age groups of the female demo by a wide margin so I can at least understand why they brought back GG. However next season the new head of CW can begin to influence the lineup, so expect both shows to end next season.

I am surprised The CW have renewed Next Top Model for two cycles next season, the falling ratings would of made me consider it a Midseason/spring replacement. This means one of their low rated shows will have to anchor a night due to lack of space basically throwing that night before it starts UNLESS they cancel Hellcats, Nikita and OTH
 
The CW have renewed...The Vampire Diaries,
Good--it so far has avoided the sophomore slump that is usually the harbinger of a show sucking in years to come and is really consistent so yeah!
Gossip Girl
The only other show on broadcast I consistently enjoy--fun little soap. It just donned on me that the only two shows that have consistently been entertaining this season are on the much maligned CW.
Supernatural
I knew they would--afterall they kept Smallville going for ten years when it has sucked for years and they brought back Seventh Heaven years ago when it had jumped the shark and had already ended just to resurrect it.

SN should have ended last season--this year you could tell the writers were struggling to come up with stories and I have a feeling next year will be more of the same with continued diminishing returns.
 
I expect Supernatural to fall to series lows often next season so I would see the 7th year being the last.
 
I think Comcast is going to want to clean house at NBC. Bye bye Chuck.

ABC seems to have a promising fall lineup of pilots, so I'm thinking that we've seen the last of No Ordinary Family and V.
 
I think Comcast too busy taking over the world to care. Community was renewed so it's clear that Comcast isn't around. However Chuck' numbers suck and even the fans feel it should end.
