I am – Hercules!!


With the networks readying mid-May announcements of their 2009-2010 schedules, The Hollywood Reporter has a story about what’s dead and what’s not so dead.

I was surprised to read, buried deep in the story, that the CW already considers “Reaper” “gone.”

How I read the Reporter’s story:

LIKELY TO RETURN
Ghost Whisperer (CBS)
How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
Law & Order (NBC)
Numb3rs (CBS)
Southland (NBC)
Ugly Betty (ABC)

UNLIKELY TO RETURN
Cupid (ABC)
Eleventh Hour (CBS)
Kath & Kim (NBC)
Life (NBC)
Reaper (CW)
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Fox)
The Unit (CBS)

FIFTY/FIFTY
Better Off Ted (ABC)
Castle (ABC)
Chuck (NBC)
Cold Case (CBS)
Dollhouse (Fox)
Medium (NBC)
Privileged (CW)
The Unusuals (ABC)
Without A Trace (CBS)

Though I don’t recall NBC officially canceling “Knight Rider,” “My Own Worst Enemy,” “Crusoe” or “Kings,” none of these abysmally rated hourlongs is mentioned in the story; I assume this means they’re all doomed beyond discussion as NBC’s “Jay Leno Show” era looms closer.

Also curious is lack of any mention of ABC's "Scrubs"; the network had been considering bringing it back with a revamped cast, but 2009 ratings for the expensive, established version have not been the greatest.
