Re: Network TV Fall 2008...Your View!!!
(Try to name just one show for the fall and the same for mid-season)
1. What new show are you looking the most forward too seeing in the fall and Mid-season?
In the fall, I'm looking forward to seeing Fringe the most out of the new shows. Alias and Lost were both great and Fringe should be too.
At midseason, Joss Whedon's Dollhouse should be awesome. Just wish it wasn't on FOX...
2. What established show are you looking the most forward too seeing again in the fall and Mid-season?
In the fall, I'm looking forward Pushing Daises alot. I also have to mention Heroes and Eli Stone.
At midseason, I'm looking forward to Lost. Last season was so great. This new season should be even better. That said, I think its about time 24 got back! I hope the time off as helped the show...
3. What new Show do you least care about this fall and Mid-season ?
In the fall and mid-season, I'm least interested in all the new & old reality shows. Ugh. I wish reality shows would just fade away already...
4. Are you giving up on any established shows that you have watched from previous seasons?
I most likely won't watch Ghost Whisperer anymore. While the season finale was good, the episodes before that weren't very good. Unless I hear thats its really getting better, I doubt I'll be watching it.
5. The 3 most likely new shows to be cancelled this season?
Oh, I hate to say it, but I think Dollhouse is a strong canidate. Its a Sci-Fi Show and its on FOX. Oh, plus its a Whedon show on FOX (Firefly anyone?). I mean, really...haven't you learned yet Joss? I don't care if its different people. FOX is FOX. The people may change, but the attitude never does.
Second most likely, its probably Cursoe. It looks good, but it also looks like it might be a pricey show. So if it doesn't get good ratings right away...
Third most likely, Merlin. I know we don't know much about it, but it seems doubtful it'll last.
6. The 3 most likely established shows to be cancelled this season?
Law & Order. I'm really suprised that this show came back this season! I'm doubtful that'll it last another one after this one.
CSI. Getting rid of Grissom? Bad idea. I doubt that orignal CSI will last much longer.
Terminator: I hate to say it, but I doubt this will last long on FOX. I think the only reason it was renewed this time was because of the upcoming movie. Sci-fi shows and FOX just don't mix...
7. List in order from Best to worst, your opinion on the network postions come the season's end for most watched network?
ABC: IF ABC keeps treating shows like Pushing Daises, Eli Stone, and Lost well, I think it'll probably be one of my most watched networks.
NBC: Heroes, Life, etc. They have a good lineup. Actually, seems like the best lineup out of all the networks.
FOX: Terminator, Prison Break, 24, House, Fringe, Dollhouse. I'm sure I'll be VERY unhappy about Dollhouse being canceled, but the network still has some good shows.
CBS: I use to really like CBS, but some of their most recent choices haven't been great. I'm watching CBS less and less.
The networks should be OK by season end.
