Just a couple weeks till Fall season programs start so about time for the new list.

Shows entering (or in progress) of their final season:
The League
Getting On
American Idol
Continuum
Da Vinci Demon
Lost Girl
Downton Abbey
The Soul Man

And for some early renewal news;
Humans recharged for 2nd run.
Fear the Walking Dead doesn't debut for about 3 weeks, yet the growing walker herd will be around for at least two seasons.

That's good news on HUMANS, but it probably had a good chance of being renewed already since it's a co-British production.

I've heard of maybe two of those shows. Glad American Idol is going off the air, won't miss all those commercials.

Some new Fox news:

For no good reason, Bones and Sleepy Hollow will have a set of crossover episodes.

And continuing the theme from last year, in this weeks rising from the dead- Prison Break set to have a sequel run including the original two lead characters.

Aww, that's disappointing. I look forward to that show as much as I look forward to the start of the NFL season.

I thought it was already canceled up until recently but found out they had just moved it to some secondary FX non-HD channel.

this will be the final season of Banshee. At least they are going out on their own terms...should be awesome.

Wasn't one of the main characters killed off (Wentworth) at the end of Prison Break?
So... how can they spin that?

They had killed off the female lead (whose name escapes me but she went off to be really annoying no Walking Dead) and made a big point in proving it by having her head in a box. They brought her back and tried to pretend that not only was the head not hers, anyone that saw it was in on it all. Them bringing the other idiot back won't even be a speed bump. It's not like the story really relied on any set reality after season 1.

Sweet Jesus. How is Bones still even on the air? They've turned 'jumping the shark' into some sort of deranged performance art, like pulling shit from your own ass and smearing it on a wall while calling it 'art.' It makes CSI Cyber look realistic.

That's definitely one way to ruin a good a show. Tie a piece of living shit albatross like Bones around it's neck. How fucking desperate do you have to be to pull that sort of stunt.

How the hell do you cross a forensics show with a sci-fi show with magic, witches, monsters, and vampires?

And how the hell is Bones still on?

Are they bringing Bones and Booth back? Didn't they quit at the end of the season?

you've been misinformed. FXX isn't non-HD.

Well I think it was at the time it got moved. Either that or DTV sucked at the time. Of course another possibility is that I just didn't notice the change and assumed it got canceled since no new episodes ever appeared on my DVR.

I'm butthurt about Hannibal, the one good show NBC has and the typical tv crowd pays it no mind
