JERICHO?? TERMINATOR?? REAPER?? PRISON BREAK?? The Hollywood Reporter Handicaps The Shows Neither Cancelled Nor Renewed!!
I am – Hercules!!
The Hollywood Reporter’s James Hibberd has an interesting rundown of where a lot of the “on the bubble” shows stand. With the networks still reeling from the disarray precipitated by the writers’ strike, things look generally rosy for series with marginal ratings.
Here’s how the Reporter breaks it down:
PROBABLY BACK:
According To Jim
Back To You
Bones
How I Met Your Mother
Knight Rider
Law & Order
Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Moonlight
Prison Break
Scrubs (probably on ABC)
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
‘Til Death
PROBABLY NOT:
Aliens in America
Cashmere Mafia
Jericho
Reaper
The situation with “Jericho” is interesting because CBS shot the season finale with two endings – a cliffhanger and a not-cliffhanger – and network is expected to decide on the show’s fate before the last shot episode airs so it knows which ending to employ.
Read all of the Reporter’s story on the matter here.
Ultra-Cheap Buffy & Angel!!
$19.99: Individual Season Sets!!
$69.99: All Five “Angel Seasons!! ($14/Season!!)
$99.99: All Seven “Buffy” Seasons!! ($14.29/Season)

Last Week It Was $62.99 Per Season!!

My second First
-
I like Jericho and Reaper. How I met your mother makes me laugh..but damn you netowrk tv, you took away Studio 60!
-
...they bring Terminator back.
-
Canceling it 6-10 days later would be an absolute travesty. Good to hear about Prison Break and HIMYM though. And really glad Scrubs is going to a network that will appreciate it. Feel bad for Reaper, strike really fucked this solid show. SAVE JOURNEYMAN!! (lost cause?)
-
Cos i'm *really* enjoying this second season of Jericho. Last 2 episodes are solid,yet the US audiences are still staying away. So looks like the wrap up episode for 7, rather than the Cliffhanger.
-
Smart, occasionally funny, and the best home for Ray Wise since Robocop.
If Ray Wise had been cast in Devil's Advocate, it might've been a better movie. -
....well there is no justice and my embitteredness just keeps increasing.
But if According to Jim is being renewed then I guess we're livin' in a Bizzaro world. -
...but I really want the re-mastered versions.
-
I hope he finds a home on Lost. Or makes a Jeepers Creepers 3. (I can't be the only person here that loves the second one.)
-
well i hope JERICHO comes back....and really does anyone actuallly watch BONES ? MOONLIGHT is great, hope it comes back too.
-
It kept me glued the whole episode. If Jericho disappears on top of Journeyman ending, I don't know what I'll do.
-
back to you?
-
...is driving the neocon blogs nuts! They're screaming that the lefties have turned Jericho into anti-Iraq Occupation propaganda. Sorta like the conservatives were crying about BSG's New Caprica arc in BSG season 3.
-
And the CW should give us a second season of Reaper and Veronica Mars in the FBI.
-
That's a shame, I really like Reaper. I hope it defies the odds and makes it back for more.
-
now..
-
because while it isn't a great show it's a really entertaining show... but i can't wait for more terminator, that is a great fucking show and it'll be even cooler if i can tie into the new terminator coming out...
-
Cancel everything else.
-
They had the best new half-hour and hour programs in Aliens in America and Reaper and they're gonna cancel both of them. I guarantee they will have nothing half as good as either of those next season. Guarantee!!!

Keep "Hottie Terminator" and "Reaper"! Death to the others!
by dirkbelig
I have spoken!
-
...it may not be a big hit by CBS standards, but the numbers it gets would be considered huge on somewhere like CW, or even some of the cable networks. And given the campaigns to keep it alive, it obviously has a core fan base that'd be willing to follow it anywhere.
-
I think I know what's wrong with tv audiences these days: They watch too much of that American Idol trash that is clogging the tubes. Oh, don't forget all of those other fluff shows that can capture the imagination of a two year old with no problems. It seems people don't really care about substance. Rather, they only care about the fluffy celebrity of their favorite people. Jericho has a lot of substance to think about. I love what they did in the last episode where Stanley had heart-felt gurney talk with his sis and then went Rambo to kill DB Sweeney's character. Jericho needs to go on. ___KNEEL___
-
That, while its ratings aren't huge, they are rising steadily each week. Hopefully the network takes note of that and gives it another season to build a larger audience.
-
At least it will be something for the cockroaches to watch as they eat twinkies after the nuclear holocaust...
-
Best show on TV. Prison Break sucks ass now, though.
-
But then again, the show was basically 24 without Jack.
-
...plus they have a natural aversion to all things Jim Belushi post his Red Heat era. And even then it's borderline. It's true, I read it in a book once.
-
Chuck. Pleaaasseee don't give the ax to Reaper. And yes, bring back Journeyman. I still have the last 2 hrs on my DVR, God what a great show. *sniff*
-
They're only clearing these out because Paramount is milking this cow again in a few months with a Blu-Ray ST:TOS release.
-
During his visit to Israel, Prison Break star Wentworth Miller told reporters there that the 4th season of the show is on and they will start filming at the end of this month.
Fox will air the new season this September once the Olympic Games are over with.
Miller said in the upcoming season Michael will go after Sara's killers, and will try to bring the group behinde the whole thing to light.
-
I really liked Reaper and Jericho. Still at least things are looking good for Terminator.
-
That show sould never have stretched beyond two seasons, it hit a natural end in Season two which they contrived into a third season in a ridiculous situaution where anyone with common sense would see the main character would be fucked every night in that jail and killed by the end of the week! Reaper is a hell of a lot of fun but US TV is becoming dominated by reality TV bollocks so unlucky if they're fortunate to get a second season, then I hope they wrap it up at the end of the run so they don't have to go through this fiction vs Reality TV viewing figure crap again. Thank God Journeyman shot a decent last episode to end what was by far and wide the best new show this year. The IDIOTS at the studio who canceled this show just emphasized just how little they know of entertainment quality.
-
love terminator stuff
-
How low can NBC go?If Reaper gets reaped, they should reincarnate the non-ugly Candace on Heroes and make her a regular. Show improvement: 1000%And while it took them long enough, they finally made a Jericho we were all expecting last night.
-
Granted it can be quite patchy. And that last episode with Jonas in England was just terrible. But its a great cast and they should give them another half season at least.
-
Reaper is a funny and often clever show. At its best, it feels like a little like a non-distaff Wonderfalls. Plus it has Missy Peregrym. That's reason enough to renew it right there.
-
all of those abortions canceled before they waste anymore money on this fucking tripe? I can't think of one of those that would truly be missed by anyone but fucking retards.
-
If this show is not renewed, I will never again watch anything on Fox. Oh yeah, people who write First! are douchebags.
-
Will everyone stop not watching Jericho please? It's running rings round most other shows in terms of quality and the idea that it's 'probably not' coming back pisses me off. Sounds like we need another nuts campaign, but bigger this time. Like coconuts.
-
I have enjoyed Sarah Connor Chronicles and hope they renew. I am still pissed at FOX for cancelling Tru Calling, as once Jason Priestly came on the show, it got really good, and it seemed like they had a good story arc going.
-
I just like to write and pronounce it that way.
-
Good lord. Considering that everyone constantly knocks that show I'm surprised it's still on.
As for Aliens in American it's just a take on the CBC's "Little Mosque on the Prarie" relatively same concept (Middle Eastern Muslims are our Friends!) with a twist (Muslims involved in relationships with non-muslims) -
Drop the e. Hey, if Dexter's a hit, why not?
-
Reaper is awesome, cancel it, and I will Damn Michael Bay forever.
-
A 13 or 16 episode season 4 of Prison Break is likely to finish the show, as Fox want to launch a women in prison spin-off show.
-
There is no doubt that Jericho needs to come back. Anything less is total GARBAGE !!!!
-
F the CW. Hope a cable network picks up Reaper.
-
Not this shit again. Nuts!
-
How can Americans not recognise a quality show like Jericho is fucking amazing. The Iraq/insurgents comparisson is fairly accurate, maybe you don't like what you see in the mirror. Thats it, way to go cancel the best show on the box. You yanks really are dumb bastardos.
-
How else to explain putting it up against Lost? Bastages.
TAPE LOST! WATCH REAPER! -
Battlestar Galactica pulled the same thing at the beginning of Season 3, and we still watched it. And it didn't get cancelled.
-
Me thinks Jim Belushi has signed a deal with Satan himself...
ps: BRING BACK REAPER!!!! -
And Terminator. Journeyman was the best new show of last season, and was treated badly by the network. NBC is the new FOX.

Sucks about Reaper, still wish Journeyman was coming back
by indyjonez100
That was actually a funny show, in a quirky way. Should still bring back Journeyman. As far as Jericho, still have about 5 episodes on the DVR waiting for a chance to watch them. Same with the Terminator series. I'll get them eventually.
-
I'm gonna be pissed off if they cancel Jericho! The fans worked too fuckin hard to get that show on to have it end like this!
But where the fuck is my October Road on that list??? They'd better not cancel it! I gotta find out if Nick kicks Ronnie's ass next season for taking his girl! Dammit! -
The show did well the first half of last year in the 8:00 pm slot. Then, if we all remember, CBS killed it by having a gigantic hiatus halfway through the season and then bringing it back without any fanfare.
-
Seriously, I'm not in the mood for your usual crap, CW. Make it happen.
-
It's my reason for living.
-
The show really found its feet by episodes 7, 8 & 9.
-
Of course, it's NBC who doesn't have anything to show for i... oh wait. They canceled the much more entertaining Bionic Woman.
Stupid NBC. -
Bring it Back...
-
I really loved season 1 but this mini season 2 has been amazing. I would never have guessed CBS even had the cajones to air something that dark and at times violent yet here it is. If the show gets the ax (again) that's a damn shame because it deserves better. Thank you American Idol watching morons everywhere, thank you so much.
-
That American Idol is on the "pending" list. Fox should have cancelled that show two season ago.
-
in these 5 episodes so far. i don't know if it's just b/c they're cramming more into 7 episodes but it's better than it ever was last year.
-
They've kept the same format but the stories are far better than last season. Less feel good happy friends all being nice neighbors and more action adventure with stories that actually change things and advance. This season has developed very well. The other surprise for me is the Terminator show. I was expecting something akin to a Sci Fi channel movie or maybe Flash Gorden from Fox but instead have been very impressed with the quality of the show. The story has developed very well and they actually paid attention to past Terminator lore. This show also deserves a return. And last but certainly not lease, how could NBC green light the stinking pile of shit called Night rider which can only site it's ability to be even worse than the original stinking pile of shit which was only scone to BK And The Bear as the worst show ever on television.
-
It's way better then half the crap on the renew list. How about we get another cop/crime show drama?? Or another comedy about an overweight middle aged family man with a hot wife and mandatory gay neighbor/friend?
-
I beseech you, tv gods, show your mercy and save it!!!
-
It's way better then half the crap on the renew list. How about we get another cop/crime show drama?? Or another comedy about an overweight middle aged family man with a hot wife and mandatory gay neighbor/friend?
-
This is the same network bringing back Smallville with the Lex and Lana characters in limited apperances next season. Their contracts are up, they're not coming back for a full schedule. Good luck in sweeps, CW. WB was doing better. Go ahead and stay with Tyra's model show and dump WWE, that's gonna make your network a winner. Idiots running the show across the street.
-
THEN WRAP IT UP! Jericho needs to end. They didn't return to string people alone, they returned to finish the story, and that is what they should do. How sad would it be for them to not finish, come back for a 3rd season and then get canned halfway through?
-
For the love of gods renew it.
McKidd owns -
I swear the only show I watch on TV nowadays is freaking Reaper, it may be slighly misdirected, but hell even Buffy took 9 to 12 episodes to get REALLY good.... CW keep reaper, or im done with CW.
-
Is still on TV, is the same reason that John McCain will be our next president. You know I'm right.
-
"...than Jericho could ever hope or pray to be and it never got a second chance."It did get 5 seasons, over 100 episodes, as opposed to Jericho's 30 or so. Be thankful for that. Sure, it was a great show, but it is gone now, time to let go. If you spend your life comparing every show to Angel you will be constantly disappointed. Don't hate Jericho because CBS listened to the fans and brought it back; hate what's left of the WB in the CW because they let Angel go and couldn't care less.
-
I was psyched about the premise for Jerhico, but I hate everything about it. Chiefly, the actors are all lousy, including the absolutely horrible Skeet Ulrich. The campy atmosphere and shit music only detract. While it was cool to see the resurrection campaign, this show didn't deserve it. Time to die.
-
ABC just advertises them as new and reruns the same episodes year after year. And no one has noticed.
-
The Jericho "haters" are missing some excellent. HELL, Hawkins is reason enough to watch the show. When the Ravenwood pukes showed up at this house to take hime to the Med Center, I knew those guys were toast. The dude is a stone killer. They take a very sympathetic character...Bonnie, the little sister and killed her. No miracles of medicine, other BS...she got wasted. And then, good ole boy Stanley just totally puts a long overdue cap in D.B. Sweeney, screw the consequences! I absolutely would have done the same; no speech, no discussion, just one to the braincase. Love it!
-
It's time to get those nuts packed and ready to send. Cause the shit's gonna hit the fan if it doesn't get renewed.
-
Ten year AICN reader here, folks. First post ever.
Anyone badmouthing Jericho at this point needs to STFU and go to hell. The show is finally getting to where we'd always hoped it would be... as someone else mentioned, this week's ep, "Termination for Cause," was by far the best of the series, and one of the best hours so far this year next to The Constant.
Watch it folks... it's dark, it's unpredictable, it's incredibly emotional. Yeah, it's "stylized", yeah it's got issues... but holy sh*t, DAMN if we don't get another season of this.
I didn't even send any frakking nuts, but if they cancel this now, there will be hell to pay. -
they cancel Jericho...then bring it back due to "fan letters" or whatever...only to air like what 5 episodes? and its already not likely coming back? and whats worse is that they filmed 2 endings, like wow...they knew they werent keeping this all along.....what a lovely network, the actors and everyone involved must be proud.
-
Seriously, who the fuck is watching "According To Jim", and how do we stop them?
The whole "hot, bitchy chick and fat, stupid, jokey, lazy husband" genre of sitcom needs to stop. -
just never interested me. Like I remember when it was coming on and I said to myself, yeah that'll get cancelled. And it did, then everyone was like BLAH! bring back Jerhico. And even then I was still like, yeah this show looks like its going to get cancelled. I actually saw some of it for the first time last night on acident, just flipping channels and stop on it. And all I could think was man what the fuck is this show and its gotta be getting cancelled soon, then I checked my guide and saw it was Jerhico. I'm sorry but not every show needs to be UN cancelled. Spend less time bitching about it and more time convincing your friends to watch it. It always amazes me though how little the general puplic knows about TV and movies. Especially if you live and somewhere thats not a major city. Like people know the really big shows and movies but my god telling someone about this show or something like Reaper is like trying to explain Evolution to a Christian. They are like WHHHHATTT?? There are other shows besides Sport Time/CSI/American Idol?????? I don't believe you.
-
Then they should bring Missy Perygrym back to 'Heroes' next season. Oh wait...they killed her character off...well that just sucks. -
Why is it even on the block, thought it was getting decent ratings for Fox. Love it, one of the few crime driven shows that has good writing outside of the crime stuff. Hopefully the terminator series will make it back, like someone else said it really picked up towards the end and exceeded my expectations. Reaper is a decently funny show, just a bit slow in developing its story so it becomes a bit repetitive. And I don't get the Jericho love, but I only watched it till halfway season 1 and I thought it was a good concept that was as usual f** up by the lame talent at CBS. But with all this praise, maybe i have to re-check it out.
-
Journeyman was worth another season
-
Is it a real SURPRISE if it doesn't? I mean it has Kevin Smiths name attached so it, and its good. But Chuck was better and Pushing Dasies seems like its better but its really not. All three shows have pretty much the same premise: nerd boy (even though all three leads are above average looking guys) with unique power doesn't know how to deal it or with his feelings for said lady friend that he has a history with, with nifty funny side kick (the only area were Reaper wins, I hope that guy, Tyler Labine, gets off of TV he is pretty damn funny) and a company of buddies/badass helper/bad guys (this is where Reaper Loses because Ray Wise was awesome (though i don't think he's as cool/good as Adam Baldwin) everyone else on the show sucked, from his parents to the other friend and Patton Oswald getting a pay check). Chuck was funnier and had more action, better plots. Pushing Daisies had a bigger budget and a better time slot, and has the band wagon effect. Reaper was the dark Horse and though I don't want it to go, I wish all three shows stayed on because they are all good, though Pushing Daisies was wearing Thin, and Eli Stone is much better then it. All and all had Reaper come out a year before and had some time to tweek I think it would stay. But coming showing on Tuesdays, after people saw Chuck on Mondays it just didn't seem as good. Maybe if they made it a half hour show as well, because it got a bit long as times. I could write a fucking essay analizying these three shows.
-
You might want to look up that word before using it again because there is nothing even remotely campy about Jericho.
-
killed Bonnie. And the way they did it was masterful. Really, one of the greatest shows on right now.
This season is very different than last - there is an urgency to EVERY episode...anyone else noticed this? As if they were...about to be cancelled any minute. -
For those of you with XBOX Live, you should watch their 100 reasons to watch Jericho video. I've only seen a few episodes myself, and it's okay I guess. But that video thing they did is hilarious. -
when they gave Jericho another chance. But whoever suggested the time jump after the battle with New Bern needs to be shot. The whole thing the show had going for it was he fact that they were cut off and fighting for survival. Now it's just them fighting against every paranoid conspiracy known to man. Hawkins is badass, but he's not enough to justify keeping this show on the air.
-
If it had a REAL year on the air, this wouldn't even be an issue. But due to the strike, it lost it's momentum.
Great show, great cast, it will only get better. -
Not only does Reaper have a great cast and great story, but....wait, that's it right there! Plus Ray Wise is awesome and they have sub-plots set in motion. Wonder if Kevin smith can have any influence in getting it picked up again.
-
For the love of Moses's hairy butt fluff please bring this back !
-
Something is wrong in America when people would rather watch American Idol than Journey Man or Jericho.

New Amsterdam... this season's Little Mister Journeyman?
by altoandando
It's actually pretty good folks, don't give up till you've seen the second episode.
It's just like Journeyman, but in New York. And instead of saving people in the past, he (***SPOILER***) cuts off peoples legs and then they suicide themselves (***END SPOILER***).
It could be kinda awesome. And the female detective is great. -
Like it has better special effects then Lost and Heroes, and it answers more questions then it poses. I just feel it needs to be on a different night. My brain is fucking fried on Monday and need dumb plots that repeat themselves like Heroes and Prison Break. I actually have to pay attention to names and people during Terminator. Fox please move it to tuesday and do what ever you want with Bones, I didn't realize people watch that show. No one I know has ever seen it. House and Terminator would be a good back to back. Followed by Boston Leagal.
-
I really liked it, and I'm sorry Ray Wise won't be in a series anymore (unless he jumps on something else fast). Also, relieved that Bones and all the L&O will be back -- L&O gives me a sense of order in the universe. As for that piece of dreck Moonlight -- what are these people, high? It stinks to high heaven! Still, I'm glad Dohring has a job on TV, even if he is wasted [AGAIN].
-
Will be back for Season 2 while Journeyman and New Amsterdam won't. All three similar shows a detective with a special skill (immortal/time traveling/money)help solve crimes in their own unique way. Why aren't their more shows like Picket Fences and Deadwood. Like neighborhood shows where there really isn't ONE main character and shit doesn't revolve around some final goal? I guess you could say Desperate Housewives is like that, never seen it though. Those shows are much more engorssing. Earth 2 was kind of like that same idea.
-
Bones should remain on tuesdays with House. Its a good pairing, has similar humor even though the genres are different. SCC will completely throw off the night, I don't have a problem with it being on Mondays now that Journeyman is gone and Heroes is crap. I'll still watch it though.
-
seriously, its the BEST US show i have seen in quite a while...please keep it!!
-
Actually now that I think of it House and Bones have more in common than type of humor. Both are essentially detective stories, the 'scientist' having a team of underlings to work with. Also the banter between the leads of Bones could parallel banter between House and Cuddy, or Wilson. Maybe thats going to far, but its a good pairing nonetheless. Also to the guy that said no one they know is watching Bones. I doubt anyone in the geek circle is a fan, none of my geek friends are. They scoff at typical crime dramas. It appeals to people who like the crime procedurals, except that it succeeds in a lot of ways other such shows fail (humor, character, lead actors' chemistry/tension)
-
Do it.
-
Shitty show.
-
That's why Reaper has to go, regrettably.
-
If they keep that fucking turd of of a show Moonlight over Jericho...then there is no justice.
-
I thought I was gonna hate this show, but Terminator is surprisingly good and I can't wait for season 2
-
and they are bringing back Knight Rider...are you kidding me? If I was a CW exec I'd just find out when Knight Rider is on and put Reaper opposite it.
-
go through thw same shit before with Jericho?!?!?! what the fuck, did those bastards run out of peanuts already?!?!
-
...so naturally, they have to cancel it. What the fuck is the sense in a writer's strike if you shitcan every show written that actually has some entertainment value.
-
But I like the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
-
Dangit, CW really is much more UPN than WB. At least WB had some cool shows.
-
Ironic that we finally get Jericho mentioned in a talkback JUST as it may be cancelled. Thanks Herc! NOT! Season 2 of Jericho has been incredible! And deserved much discussion on this forum as it has over on the CBS.com/jericho forums. Watch the show on the CBS.com/jericho website as its one of the only way to have your voice heard since they seem to want to only rely on the archaic Nielsen's. Its a pity cause if Jericho goes that will be the last TV I watch on a network. Back to classic movies and TV on DVD. And to the Jericho haters, suck it! You wouldn't know what quality was even if it walked up and offered to blow you!
-
Well??????
-
The show has been firing on all cylinders this sorta-season. I was a bit surprised to see Goetz's body getting strung up like that on a CBS show, but it was a great reveal. And it was much better than all those lame hallmark episodes from last season, and lame events like saving dumb kids from burning libraries, etc. If it gets cancelled, I guess they'll just detonate Hawkins' bomb and blow up everybody.
-
Hopefully they keep Jake's mom out of the show. I hate that sanctimonious cow.
-
How depressingly predictable that, of that list, mainly mediocre shows will probably get renewed while the best will probably get canned. Network TV really has ceased to be brave or interesting.
-
Ford gotta eat!
-
I have really loved Jericho this year. Watched the whole season 1 and am one of those appologists that just has to say that the people didn't have a clue what was going on, and since they were down-home, take-it-easy kinds of people anyway, they didn't just panic and start killing people when the lights went out. They tried to keep it together. Season 2 so far has rocked all kinds of ass though, and I was one of the many voices cheering when Stanley simply walked up and put at bullet in Ghetz. I was suprised he hesitated, even for a second. Besides the torture of TREEHOUSE for 16 hours a day courtesy of my 3 year old, Jericho is the only thing I watch anymore. Without it I'm cancelling my cable and my son will just have to watch DVD's instead.
-
PROBABLY BACK:
According To Jim - WHY?!?! DEAR GOD WHY?!?!?!
Back To You - no opinion
Bones - no opinion
How I Met Your Mother - no opinion
Knight Rider - please no
Law & Order - one of these needs to die
Law & Order: Criminal Intent - these things are like damned tribbles
Moonlight - yay!
Prison Break - no opinion
Scrubs (probably on ABC) - yay? I think
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - WooHoo! More Feminator!
‘Til Death - DIE
PROBABLY NOT:
Aliens in America good riddance
Cashmere Mafia - thanks god
Jericho - no opinion
Reaper - going to miss it -
Do we have a non-breaking line return that is allowed in TB?
-
I watched the first few episodes and recorded the rest.I figured that cw wouldn't renew it so I tried not to watch the rest.I am so fucking tired of getting into a show and it being cancelled.Oh and please bring back jericho cause ..I said so!p.s. Fuck you NBC,CBS, and FOX
-
Hopefully it comes back.
-
was canceled long ago. The ratings must have been really bad if they outright canceled it that long ago, while the strike was still going on and no one knew how long it would last. Shame because it was a fantastic show.
-
It's the kind of show that has to grow an audience, because it's WAY out there on the conceptual front. A horror comedy with Kevin Smith-style humor combined with FX-heavy Ghostbusters-style action? Not your instant mega-hit. Could have easily become the sitcom Buffy, and it isn't like CW is exactly cranking in the ratings with it's other stable of shows. Send Ray Wise out on the horror con circuit to promote and you'll have a built-in audience of nerds.
-
its too bad, I really enjoy aliens in america....its a fun show
-
Which was a rip off of Ghostbusters.
-
Wow, I thought ABC was a longshot, but they give it better odds than Jericho or Reaper? I don't know if that's just a good sign for Scrubs, or just how dire the situation is for Jericho. Yes, I want Jericho back dammit. I am at least happy they let them film a non-cliffhanger ending, but I don't want it to end. Now that they have to focus more on the characters, rather than expensive sets and settings, it's gotten alot better.
-
I NEED TO KNOW!
-
Please. I mean, seriously, they're going to keep Knight Rider and not Jericho. WTF?!? Knight Rider blows donkey balls!
-
If they spent the money and filmed TWO endings -- one a cliffhanger if they decide to bring it back and the other an actual "wrap up" ending if they decide not to -- then they at least are giving the fans something. They're giving them an actual conclusion. And it shouldn't necessarily feel TOO rushed since the writers SHOULD have been building to this ending since they KNEW going into this latest batch of episodes...this so-called shortened Season 2...that they could be the last JERICHO episodes ever.So I actually applaud CBS for giving us fans at least THAT, unlike the assholes at Fox who seem to LOVE canceling shows in midstream and leaving the fans completely hanging...not to mention the assholes over at NBC who likewise left us VEGAS fans out in the cold with a fucking cliffhanger that will also never get resolved.
-
Damnit! This show was hilarious! So sad...
-
According to Fucking Jim gets renewed yet again???????? Who the hell is Jim Belushi blowing in Hollywood? Friggin Moonlight, Til Death, Back to you? GODDAMN KNIGHT RIDER??????????? WHAT?????????
This absolute shit gets renewed but a show like Jericho, which has a great compelling story this season, and Reaper, which is just downright genuinely funny as hell, these shows get canned. What the fuck? What back-water rednecks are watching this crap en masse and giving these shitty ass shows ratings? Anybody????? Please????? -

Terminator ...I Was Wrong It Is A Great TV Show ... Summer Glau
by red dawn don
Summer Glau plays the good Terminator "Cameron" (Named after Director James Cameron by the writers.) DAMN did you see her do the ballet scene and then not stop the bad guys from killing her ballet teacher. "Not part of my mission." I LOVES ME SOME SUMMER GLAU. Give it a view and you will be enthralled, and not just with Summer Glau (River Tam).

When Cameron Terminator/Summer Glau shorted out the city power grid. She stuck her lovely robot hand into the massive vibrating generator and stopped it's spinning and pulsing. For Sarah in your above fantasy (the movie 300 actress), you have to use your imagination. SUMMER GLAU the hottest girl on TV. By the way, her wiki bio-page says she is a former ballerina from Texas.

what the fuck, terminator wasn't bad. It started kinda slow, but i knew it was gonna pick up soon. I also think Jericho is amazing. but if I had to pick, I'd rather see Jericho. Time to stock up on peanuts again. those motherfuckers
-
The best new show is getting ignored by the fanbase that should be eating it up. I know it's tough to flip all the way over to the CW. But if you coud do it for Buffy, or Angel, or even America's Top Model?, why not a great show like Reaper?
-
and thats why they killed off shoshana stern last week...and if that hottie doesnt get lots of future roles, something is very wrong in hollywood...if the people at heroes were smart, they would sign her ass right now and make her next year's villian...think about it...cute, hearing impaired girl kicks the shit out of clair...now that is good fuckin tv

...tinfoil hat-wearing, mouthbreathing morons. When is this country going to finally get fed up with these inbred busybodies and give them all a one way ticket to the Mariana Trench on a decommissioned aircraft carrier rigged up with a gigantic trapdoor in the hull? It can't come too soon. Now Jericho is a leftwing propaganda, anti-Iraq show? Strange, they were all slobbering over it last year when they thought it was a rightwing show. Listen feebs... it's just a f***in' SHOW. Geez! Now I hear they're disrupting preview showings of Horton Hears a Who, shouting anti-choice propaganda because they think Suess agreed with them. That's right... they're disrupting showings of a friggin' cartoon because they think it teaches a lesson THEY AGREE with! What, there weren't enough Iraq war dead funerals to protest this week? Pigf***ing idiots!

Somebody post a link to the online petition already!
-
Plenty of poltical forums Kid Z. You should go to one. Not that your post made any sense. Jericho is dying because A) it's too expensive to make and B) the time slot is awful. Why be uncivil on this talkback?
-
(How I Met Your Mother), Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Pusing Daisies.
So how likely is probably and where does Daisies fall on the list.
-
Really it's the one of only good half hour comedy around.
-
It's only semi-interesting. The hell with it. -
They've just started screening Bionic Woman here in the uk, thats been cancelled right ??
-
You must be a fox executive with that ridiculous point of view..
-
How can they get rid of Reaper and Jericho and keep that stinking heaping pile of rotting roadkill called Knight Rider? That had to be THE WORST most inanely written piece of garbage ever to be shown on television. Andron, who wrote that odiferous pile of offel should never be allowed in front of a computer ever again. He can't write to save himself and he RUINED what could have been a decent reboot of a cool series.
-
Please save Shark!!!!! James Woods kicks ass in the show and its the only place, besides Star Trek reruns, that I can get my Jeri Ryan fix.
-
In all honesty, it is ACTUALLY a funny show. I thought it looked lame. A throwback to the dying genre of shitcoms with canned laugh tracks. But it is honestly a funny and well written show. It is really, really witty. Plus the chick that plays the weather girl Montanna is the hottest chick on TV.
-
How I Met your Mother is on the air, the half hour sitcom is not only alive but can still be fresh, new and brilliant.
-
I didn't watch a second of it for the longest cause I can't stand Indian style accents but I started watching it online and it is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.
-
Everyone here that's bashing Jericho has never watched a single episode. If they had, they would be supporting this fine show.
Screw you guys, I'm going to Jericho. -
and make more wonderfalls. Also reaper kind of sucks I haven't watched all the episodes but the only things that seem to carry over to other episodes is the chick might have a boyfriend and the funny guy learns about Dolores Herbig
-
It still hurts when I think about it's premature cancellation.
BTW, why doesn't Bryan Fuller put Caroline Dhavernas in a guest role on Daisies?! -
It costs about $20k per episode.
-
I wish The CW would give it another shot. I think it got pretty good ratings in the timeslot after "Smallville" last night. I'll be a little surprised if they don't renew "Aliens in America" as well. It's critically-acclaimed and the only other good comedy the network has besides "Everybody Hates Chris". I don't know why "Bones" is even on the bubble. Don't think we have to worry about that one. I'm glad to hear that "Terminator" and "Prison Break" will probably be back. I think there's at least one more season of story to be told on PB. I definitely don't think the show should go past 5 seasons, though. That could really get silly.
-
i have watched jericho....and it has gone from the absurd to absolute parody...with writers that seemingly have spent too much time watching lost...right down to the penultimate scene from last tuesday's epi...how about another post apocolyptic barbeque
-
It's one of the most purely entertaining shows for a long time.
Sure, it's episodic and formulaic, but so was Buffy and Angel (keep away Herc) pretty much, and like them it manages to keep the generally average baddie of the week stuff interesting with good banter while also hinting at a larger storyline in the background.
This'll bum me out if it's cancelled before questions swirling around the Devil are answered. -
were fucking awesome. It's a keeper. Anyone who thinks it should be cancelled most likely hasn't bothered watching all of the episodes. Yeah, it started slow, but it's hit a good stride... Better than T3 by a ton and respectable enough to live inside the same universe as T1 and 2.By the way, you know...
-
Terminator ended well, and call me crazy but the first couple eps weren't so bad. I am curious how the show would end. If its gets canceled maybe HBO will pick it up and feature more time-traveling nakedness.
-
I'm one of those people that pays attention to a film's score or a TV show's soundtrack. Thus the biggest problem I see with Jericho is the music. It's absolutely horrible. Cheesy synthesizer chords and aimless electronic underscore. No themes or motifs. I know that the music is one of the first things to get cut to save money on a TV show but the lack of effort here does discredit to an otherwise tolerable show.
Lost and BSG are prime examples of how to do a TV score right. -
"What's going on? I missed some episodes and lost track of what's happening."
-
shows where a father and daughter are dirty dancing together.... i mean for the love of zombie jesus, what the fuck are the people that film and broadcast that shit snorting!!!???
I might have to go light a bonfire in my backyard and throw my satellite dish in it.... and just download all the shows worth watching.... -
Jericho is a show that needs to hit a groove to get interesting. They just hit the groove last season, and then "cancelled" it - just when it was all coming together. This year, same thing. The last 2 episodes have been terrific. If they cancel it now, they're even dumber than before. They need to just give it a solid season with full support.
-
y'know, that's not exactly a shining argument in the case for Jericho. Not to say that a new L&O or herc endorsed reality series that replaces it is going to be better... but taking so long to find their groove in the first season was pretty bad; but then needing it again in the second season after already using their get-out-of-jail-free card? How many more viewers can it afford to lose?
-
Maybe SCiFi channel will pick up Jericho. Of course then Kansas will suddenly start to look a lot like Vancouver. I never knew there were so many hills, mountains and pine forests in Kansas
-
are already showing Jericho. I doubt they could turn a profit off of it by themselves though.My guess is if the dollar loses any more value to the looney(which it most likely will), Vancouver wills top being Anywhere, USA. It isn't cheap to shoot there anymore.
-
I recall a news bit about CW closing down its comedy division.
I'm still not entirely sure if that means shows like Reaper have no hope whatsoever. I'm not sure Reaper was made by CW owned production houses? Could it be shopped around elsewhere? -
I am glad to see Terminator will be back. Reaper is a good show. What about Burn Notice and Journeyman though. They were great shows! Fucking TV execs. bunch of neckless coke addicts.
-
but, I too must repeat that the survival of According to Jim continues to surprise me. In an era where the "live audience" style of sitcom is basically dead, how does one of such poor quality continue. I know there's crap out there, but it's such a inane, lame attempt at a sitcom. Man dumb. Woman smart and beautiful. Oh, that man never learn. And Back to You is almost a parody of the genre...Can we stop blaming conservatives or liberals or Christians or whatevers on the fact that crappy shows stay on the air? People of all political and religious persuasions watch shitty television.
-
for public indifference or bad taste. One concession: I've heard that Scientology reigns at the corporate level (Television). Again, this is entirely speculative, no concrete evidence. Bu think about an office inundated with Tom Cruise clones (closet-cloistered control freaks who are in denial that they're salad days are rapidly eroding). And everyone knows the punch line to Cruise's marriage (an act of desperation, circumventing his gay lifestyle to distract the tabloids. Every time someone allided to his authentic sexuality, Cruise would date a hotty). Should have been a real man and admitted it (deserves the SOUTH PARK kick in the balls). And what is THE ADVENTURES OF OLD/NEW CHRISTINE? Julia Dreyfuss? I thought she retired or was hosting a QVC network or whatever.
-
Breaking Bad. Any word whether AMC is going to do the right thing and renew this amazing show?
-
Monk and Psych on mainstream TV. Be still my heart. 2 of the funniest shows on tv especially Psych, that Gus screams like my ex girlfriend, when I caught sleeping with her best friend.
-
they sure left that one wide open. I need to see one of the guys kill that new drug lord. I hope it comes back for a longer season.
-
It has more potential than I originally thought they could wring out of it. For that alone it deserves a second season. Plus...it gives Brian Austin Green a chance to shed that whole 90210 B-boy thing.
-
Ever from Day one, Jericho has suffered from poor marketing. I remember seeing quite a number of commercials and ads for the first episode. After that, it was as if CBS just dumped the show into a time slot and forgot about it. Then when the ratings are poor and they cancel it, they're shocked that people actually enjoyed it. So they throw the fans a bone, and promise that if it does better a 3rd season could be made. But instead they don't even promote the 2nd season at all, and I had a hard time trying to find out when exactly it was going to air. I had heard that it was going to air as early as last september after they re-aired the "important" season 1 episodes. But even THAT they didn't promote. If I hadn't been paying attention to the whole "Nuts" campaign, I wouldn't have known that they were re-airing any episodes.
I am getting pretty tired of this sort of mentality that studio's are so quick to ditch shows without truely giving them a chance. Market your shows, don't just abandon them on the airwaves. -
Since no one's commented since my last post. I'm calling LAST!
