Agree? Disagree?

All I care about is Terminator, which is as good as renewed, and Reaper, which I'm still holding hope out for, due to the CW's overall lameness and the likelihood that anything they replace it with would do no better. ;)
 
There are grumblings that Eli Stone might come back, but damnit ABC, it's NOT a 10 p.m. show! And neither is Lost, for that matter.

Is it true that CBS is going to determine Moonlight's fate by the upcoming new episodes? Because the last time they had a successful show go on a long hiatus without even showing reruns, they killed Jericho.
 
The only shows I'm interested in being renewed are Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Reaper, Moonlight, Eli Stone and Boston Legal. They can cancel the rest.
 
So there I am, putting the touch of death on the best shows out there-I swear, if I watch it, it goes away. Jeremiah, Jericho, Journeyman,Firefly,Enterprise, Studio...-my favorites list reads like a death knell. So what does that mean for New Amsterdam and that delightful substitute for marijuana, Eli Stone? Those are the ones I am hoping for so y'all can probably kiss them good-bye.:confused:
 
I don't particularly care about any of these shows. I wouldn't be very upset if they were all cancelled. Having said that, I've seen a few episodes of "Men in Trees" and "Eli Stone", and while they weren't appointment TV, they weren't bad either.

You must be careful to use your power for good . . .

Nah! Use it for blackmail instead.

"You like the TV show XYZ? Then gimme some money or I'll start watching it! Then you'll be sorry! Muahahahahah!" :evil:
 
This just opens up a lot of potential time slots for my upcoming can't-miss TV series -- Amsterdam Journeyman on the Jericho Strip. I can't lose!
 
Eli Stone and New Amsterdam seem 'handicapped' a little high. I watch, and enjoy, both programs, so wouldn't mind if you're correct, but don't think they are as likely as you do.

Terminator seems like a definite (from what we've been hearing), and I have a hard time seeing them killing HIMYM, as it's been getting decent ratings this year (better than last year, by a little) and is also part of an overall successful Monday night comedy block.

Other than the ones I discussed, Reaper is the only show I watch (from the list). It's ok, not great. Ratings kinda suck, but so does the network that runs it, so it could stay just because SOME people watch it, and that's better than most CW shows. The CW as a NETWORK ought to be on the handicap list...
 
Ausiello has downgraded New Amsterdam's chances from 6 to 4.

Terminator is the show I most want to continue. I'd also like to see Eli Stone and Reaper pull through, but won't be tearing my hair out if they don't. Moonlight, for all its flaws, has turned out to be quite enjoyable, albeit in a guilty pleasure kind of way, so I wouldn't mind seeing it continue.
 
Terminator is pretty much a lock. They have already been authorized to hire additional staff and directors for the next season. I don't think it'll return in the fall though. I think it'll be a holdout until Spring.

It might make a good pair-up with 24 should they go that route.

I think that's what they'll do. Originally they were supposed to be teamed up this year.
 
How do I read the handicapping?
A high number means most likely renewed and lower means cancelled?
Did Temis assign them or did they come from a system.

I would like to see
Terminator
New Amsterdam
Boston Legal
Moonlight

I saw two episodes of Reaper and thought it was OK but I wasn't bowled over.
 
^ It seems like the kind of minor show that's nice to have around, even if you almost never watch it.
