[1001001]

So let's see. I watch:

The Event, Fringe, V: all likely to be cancelled.

I Tivo'd The Cape but never started it. Likely to be cancelled. I've also Tivo'd Mad Love but haven't started it yet. Likely to be cancelled.

Stargate Universe: Already cancelled.

Caprica: Already cancelled.

Geez if it wasn't for Modern Family, Castle, and Fox Sunday Night, I'd have nothing to watch at all.

 

[Geck]

NBC has already renewed The Biggest Loser and Who Do You Think You Are. I don't give a crap about either of them but remember reading it last week some time.

 

[startrekwatcher]

Tv sucks really bad these days--like last year I hope the networks clean house and not cling on to only so-so series. I know more than likely they'll replace it with more short-lived crap but there is always a chance there will be something more worthwhile.

I used to enjoy Bros & Sisters but it has sucked for the last few years that yeah it needs to go--I actually feel that way about a lot of shows i.e. Chuck, Desperate Housewives is tired it needs to go too but ABC will keep it. Fringe is so uneven anymore I won't mind if Fox cancels it even if it means no resolution--I doubt they could have provided a satisfying wrap up anyway just look at how LOST ended up.

Supernatural needs to end but CW will keep it around esp with Smallville ending. V is awful I doubt even with the shake-up ABC will keep it--I mean there have been two or thre purported reinventions of the series and it hasn't helped in my opinion.

Strange as it is to say the only two series I have gotten consistent entertainment from this season are CW shows--Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries-nothing deep but boy are they fun to watch.

 

[Jax]

One of the following...Rules of Engagement, $#*! My Dad Says and Mad Love may have some hope for pickup should CBS cancel Two & Half Men + if CBS still wants to keep the 2nd comedy block on Thursday nights. Personally I would scrap the Thursday comedy block and let "Big Bang Theory" become the king of monday nights at 9pm.

Big Bang is doing well on thursday nights BUT its not getting above 4.0 in the demo anymore against Idol and CBS can't seem to find a partner for it. TBBT would see an increase of a full demo point minimum if moved back to mondays and their cast members don't drink, take drugs and sleep with hookers

 

[bigdaddy]

I don't think you have enough 50/50. I actually think V will get 10 more episodes, finale episodes, to just waste in some random Friday night timeslot, not like ABC has anything better.

Fringe I'd say 50/50 just because WB will pay Fox to air a finale season.

 

[Mr Light]

I don't think I'm gonna have much to watch next year except sitcoms...

 

[IndyJones]

Fringe I'd say 50/50 just because WB will pay Fox to air a finale season.

I'd like that to be true, and maybe it'll get a 13 episode season to close down, but FOX has so little time in the schedule I don't know where it fits.

 

[bigdaddy]

Fringe I'd say 50/50 just because WB will pay Fox to air a finale season.

I'd like that to be true, and maybe it'll get a 13 episode season to close down, but FOX has so little time in the schedule I don't know where it fits.

They will use it to fill in some wholes in their scheduling. Maybe 6-7 episodes before The X Factor Begins and maybe 6-7 between X and AI.

I'm still thinknig Terra Nova will fail and both it and fringe will get a sci-fi Friday thing going on.

 

[Jax]

There is only ONE spot open in FOX's Fall lineup...Friday 9pm.

Bones
Bones Spinoff
House
Glee
The X Factor Live Show + Results Show
Raising Hope
Terra Nova
Hells Kitchen
The Simpsons
American Dad
Family Guy
The Cleveland Show

Assuming no other pilot is picked up for the Fall line up like Alcatraz, which will most likely be midseason, there is one slot between...

Human Target
The Chicago Code
Lie To Me
Million Dollar Drop
Fringe

That also assumes FOX just won't put a repeat to save money.

If I had to choose one then I would say FOX might choose Lie To Me because FOX produces it and would get all the $$$ from DVD sales, International markets etc.

Fringe needs a 1.7 IMO and its below that at the moment with the DVR audience shrinking too it seems (down from 2.6 to 2.3)

 

[bigdaddy]

Running Wilde



Nice type, the show they kept wasRaising Hope (Which is on tonight at 9:30, be sure to watch the funniest new comedy on TV.).

Anyways you aren't thinknig ahead. Fox this year had tons of shows that didn't really fit into a schedule either, they just stuck them in to waste time.Good thing being their pilots failed.Fox wants even more extra shows than normal, so I'm thinking 3-5 extra shows to fill in gaps and as they try to get things to replace Bones and House.

Fox needs extra filler and some new things, they will order a lot of shsows I think hoping to find some new hits, but in the mean time still need old shows to fill in.

 

[Tulin]

Good riddance to "V" - stopped watching a few weeks back because it is just B-A-D.

I mean TERRIBLE.

 

[Jax]

FOX is producing several pilots like Alcatraz for midseason so the current struggling maybe shows would most likely only be used as a fall stop gap. FOX next year will have a very solid and unshakable lineup IMO. If I was FOX I would do this for Fall 2011...

Monday
Bones - Bones Spinoff

Tuesday
House - Glee

Wednesday
The X Factor - Raising Hope (when X Factor drops to 90 mins then double episodes when it drops to 60 mins)

Thursday
The X Factor Result Show - Terra Nova

Friday
Hells Kitchen - N/A (I would like to say Fringe)

Sunday
Repeat - Repeat - The Simpsons - American Dad - Family Guy - The Cleveland Show

------------------------------------------
Now FOX may get the urge to put Glee with X Factor but they should put Terra Nova their because it going to cost $4 million per episode to make so why not use X Factor's audience for maximum exposure.

With that lineup outside of Friday 9pm their might not be room for new shows because none of them might even flop though I can see older skewing Bones ending up on Friday nights eventually.

 

[bigdaddy]

When The X Factor goes to 60 minutes Fox will cut the result show to 30 minutes and stick on Raising Hope on after it. That makes room for another show on Wednesday at 9pm.

But my point is not to have a talk again about Fox being a dumb network, but the fact that several shows i think are more 50/50 than Likely to be Canceled.

 

[Jax]

Likely doesn't mean they will so while I do think its not out of the realm of possibility that one or two of my Likely to be cancelled shows might survive, on their own merits I feel that they are still not 50/50's...ABC might be desperate to pick up V for example but I would say 70/30 against.

One of my likely to be cancelled shows I would like ABC to pick up for a final season is Brothers & Sisters because its comedy/drama aspect would suit their sitcom night since they have failed to find a 10pm show on that night this season. At worst case ABC waste 13 more episodes but hey it gets an ending.

As for the Result show dropping to 30 mins, Idol shows are never lower than 1 hour aren't they ? even the result shows near the end ?...If it does drop to 30 mins then FOX would most likely put a new sitcom their because I've been hearing one of their pilots is a new sitcom.

 

[Jetfire]

CW
90210 - Likely to be renewed
Supernatural - Likely to be renewed
Gossip Girl - Likely to be renewed
America's Next Top Model - Likely to be renewed
The Vampire Diaries - Likely to be renewed
Hellcats - 50/50
One Tree Hill - 50/50
Nikita - Likely to be cancelled
Shedding for the Wedding - Likely to be cancelled
Life Unexpected - Already cancelled
Smallville - Ending

Not that anyone cares about The CW but...

Here are the pilots officially picked up:

'Hart of Dixie.' From Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage ('Gossip Girl'), 'Dixie' follows a New York City doctor who inherits a practice in a small Southern town. According to TVLINE, look for pleny of quirky characters.

'Heavenly.' From Richard Hatem ('Supernatural'), the legal drama follows the team of a young female attorney and a former angel who tackle cases together. The former angel is now human and named Dashiel Coffee.

'Awakening.' A coming of age tale about two sisters ... who are also in the midst of a zombie uprising. William Laurin ('1-800-Missing'), Glenn Davis, Howard T. Owens, Carolyn Bernstein and Todd Cohen are executive producing.

'Cooper & Stone.' The cop drama follows two detectives, who are also best friends. They love talking pop culture and fashion just as much as solving homicides. Laurie Arent ('Boomtown,' 'Life') is executive producing.

'Danni Lowinksi.' A spinoff/remake of the original German series about a hairdresser who open up her own place to pay for law school.

'The Secret Circle.' An adaptation of the book series from the same author of The Vampire Diaries with Kevin Williamson serving as the exec producer.

LUX & Smallville are gone...looking for OTH to end also. I am hoping they pick up TSC...and pair it with TVD. Awakening would go with SPN...but don't think they would put a new show on Fri night.

 

[gh4chiefs]

I've decided I"m going to make a pitch to the networks to hire me as a consultant for new pilots. They play a pilot for for me and if I like it, they DON'T put it on the air. If I don't like it, it's a guaranteed hit. This system would have had a perfect record this year except for Mike and Molly.

 

[Jax]

^^
The plan is for TSC is going to partner TVD, its a badly kept secret at CW . Nikita is TOAST...Also I assume Heavenly is going to air alongside Supernatural (due to the supernatural connection).

Either "One Tree Hill" or "Hellcats" is bye bye and it looks like the Tree might face the Axe, though I could see a 13 episode reprive to end the long running show. One way or another OTH's slot time at somepoint during next season will become open for a new show.

 

[gh4chiefs]

No Ordinary Family - Likely to be cancelled

Not sure how many episodes are left to air, but it's looking a lot like we're going to have yet another series with a cliffhanger/unresolved issues.

Hopefully I'm wrong and they'll wrap it up, but I'm not getting the "warm and fuzzies" about that happening.
