My countdown clock carries...17 episodes till the SERIES FINALE

(Confirmed season 4 is only 18 episodes).
 
Chuck should stay, I don't know what the problem is.

Medium will be a midseason show, Chuck will be a fall show, and everything new NBC does will fail.
 
Heroes has stabilized well enough to get them an S4, which should be long enough to play out what they set up in the season finale. I cannot envision how they could drag it out longer than that, and when its resolved, I think that has to be the end of the show, so if the ratings only merit another season, fine with me. They better make the most of it.

Chuck is getting shit on because it's the new kid on the block and all the other shows were either hits at one point and they're bringing in a ton of new shows they think can probably be hits. Chuck's done about as well as any junior show could do in that time slot and on that network.

Leno is about as sure a thing as you can get sadly.
 
Well the Castle numbers looked to have bottomed out at just over 8m, which I don't think is bad in a timeslot where even CSI Miami looks to be struggling.
 
Winners..
Dancing With the Stars, Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, CSI Miami, House and 24

Honorable Mention...
The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Surviving Suburbia

Worthy of Renewal...

Losers...
Heroes, Chuck, Medium, One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl


Round-Up...

Lets start with ABC and while DWTS remains top dog, its the other numbes I want to talkj about for now. Surviving Suburbia may of made the honorable list but without DWTS this show would drop like a stone and I think the demo will doom the show because its directly coming off DWTS and previous occupant Samantha Who did better there and should of never been moved away. Castle which no longer gets DWTS as the lead in has held above 8 million and forget the demo because ABC at 10pm never gets a demo apart from PP and thats only due to the lead in. Castle has proved it can do solid buissness without DWTS and 8 million+ and any demo over 2.0 in a debut season should be enough IMO to warrant picking up for a 2nd season starting in the fall. However I would cancel Survivng Surbiba and move Samantha Who? back there next fall but the damage may of already been done with Sam Who, which is rumored to be in serious trouble and will be cancelled.

NBC will have some major questions over the summer and I think its time for Jeff Zucker to have his incompetent ass fired. With freshman DAY ONE taking over Chuck's Monday slot next fall it looks like NBC will axe the show but it may get a move to a new slot maybe friday for an half season order. Medium could be in trouble due to Leno taking its own slot, being 5 years old meaning it won't bring in any new viewers soon and will cost more to produce than it once did but if NBC were bring the show back for a final season I would suggest Fridays at 8pm to tackle fellow genre show Ghost Whisperer. Heroes will only get an 18 episode 4th season so my countdown clock remains ticking...17 episodes till the SERIES FINALE, what a fall from grace but Tim Kring has made so many errors this season, hes lucky to get a 4th season at all.

FOX like me might be a little worried with the fall in ratings for House compared to last season but theres still a few more years left in the old doctor yet. I stick with my idea of Fall (Bones/House) and then keep the current monday partnership in midseason. Expect season 8 of 24 in 2010 to be the final swangsong for Jack Bauer and co.

CBS has no worries and am sure CSI was a blip but all 3 shows from the cop franchise has seen erosion this season and I think CSI & CSI:NY should be partnered up IMO but Miami is fine where it is.

If the CW cancel Reaper then I hope OTH & GG follows because both have now lower ratings then Reaper and am sorry but aiming for only the 18-34 female demo is the stupidest marketing stratergy I have ever heard for a so called Major network (cables networks aim for one demo, not major networks so either become a cable network, get your stuff in order or piss off and die)

DAWN needs sacking if the CW is to be saved.
 
Since when's the CW a 'major' network? :lol:

Personally, I think NBC will keep Chuck, possibly a 13-episode run to see what it does next year with the option to pick up a back 9 if it does ok.

Castle, I think has done ok and should get a second season.
 
I don't get to see Chuck until the DVD comes out, if it does get canceled, was the second season finale workable as a series finale?

I didn't watch it, but from what I heard yes. The way it ended closes up a lot of old things and can start fresh next season.
 
There's an argument that all shows should follow the Buffy format. A season-long arc that effectively, on an annual basis, allowed for the narrative to be both wrapped up, yet also leaving scope for continuation.
