If they make that many movies, the ratio of TVs:Movies produced by any given country should remain roundabouts.

The CW has renewed Nikita for a third season and Hart of Dixie for a second season (both full 22-episode seasons). They've also renewed Gossip Girl for a short final season. Ringer and The Secret Circle have been cancelled.
Lots of cancellations/renewals today...too many to list.
WHITNEY!?!?! RENEWED!?!?!
I'm surprised that they gave Nikita the nod over TSC, seeing as a third season renewal will almost certainly lead into a 4th season renewal for syndication.
Still, HoD renewed. More Bilson, thank you very much CW.
GG - Urgh, the television equivalent of a cockroach, it fooking survives everything!

The show is co-produced by Sarah Silverman.
Now imagine a human centipede consisting of Sarah sticking her hand up Whitney's but.
For the first time in memory, I don't care about any of the cancellations. Awake has been fun, but I knew it couldn't last, and the cop show angle will always be a drag on it.
I'd rather see what else NBC can come up with, except what they came up with was kind of meh. Revolution is cancellation bait but Do No Harm might become a cult favorite.

Yeah, I thought that, but then I realized that it just mean't that there were far fewer shows on regular network TV that I was that bothered about to begin with!
Don't you live in a country that plays new Coronation Street 5 nights a week during Prime Time and reruns the shit out of it in every other conceivable timeslot?
Just thinking abou such a pained lineup makes my asshole gasp for breath.

The only one that surprises me is The Secret Circle being canceled, as it seemed more likely that Hart of Dixie or Nikita would go first. I've been watching The Secret Circle, but I won't miss it too much, it is kind of ridiculous.
I guess I'm also a little surprised that Whitney was picked up. I started watching the pilot and had to stop about 5 minutes in. I love sitcoms, but it was just plain awful and unfunny. Everyone I talked to who had watched it had a similar reaction.
As for Missing - I don't remember, was it just supposed to be a mini-series type thing? I keep seeing mention that there was no chance it was coming back, but the ratings didn't seem bad to me. I'm thinking since it was only 10 episodes that it must have been a one time thing.

Unrealistic as it may have been but the networks could have carpet bombed its programming leaving nothing standing and started over from scratch--tv has been AWFUL this season--the new shows were mediocre(OUAT, Revenge, Alcatraz, The Firm, Grimm, The Secret Circle etc etc) and the returning shows had long since jumped the shark(Supernatural, Fringe, Vampire Diaries etc)
The only show that was halfway entertaining was Ringer but I'm not upset about that--it felt more like a season long mini-series than a full fledged show given its limited premise--plus with Gellar pregnant it would have probably hamstrung it in certain ways.
Hopefully the networks/writers have gotten the LOST fever out of their systems and will get back to basics rather than focusing on gimmicky stuff(non linear storytelling, flashbacks) and excessive storytelling(expansive casts, mythologies, dozens of mysteries that drag on rather than a handful that are resolved within the season). And you know it wouldn't hurt if they tried to develop the characters--characterization and bland characters have been far too plentiful in recent years.

I had to check this, as I do my level best to avoid soaps.
Corrie airs 3 nights a week and then I think there's an omnibus edition aired at the weekends.
I *think*, Eastenders is the same, airing 3 times a week and repeated in omnibus at the weekend.
Emmerdale is the worst, airing every week night with an extra episode on Thursdays, 6 episodes a week. An omnibus is then aired at the weekends on ITV2.
All this is fucking ridiculous, however strictly speaking, they don't air in primetime. Emmerdale airs at 7pm, whilst Eastenders and Corrie air at 7.30pm. Traditional primetime being 8-11pm.
Semantics though given that they still pull in the highest ratings for the week.
All of which proves that there are plenty of weapons watching television here.
It was meant to be an unlimited series of just 10 episodes per season though each season would have a different storyline that would wrap up with episode 10.
Body of Proof got renewed, excellent.
My reaction exactly.
I actually stuck in there until about the 4th episode or so to give it a fair shake, but then my brain wouldn't allow me to to subject it to any more of that braincell killing torture.
Is it definitely dead, then? (it only started here last week!) - it's format doomed it from the start, I suspect: the concept would have made a fantastic novel, movie, or miniseries, but not really an ongoing series, where what was happening would either have to be retconned to keep the mystery ongoing, or ignored as just a gimmick to keep the two character lines going.
That's what I was thinking. It might work in a British model of TV, with a limited number of episodes... but never on American network.
