Chuck, Life, Fringe, Kings, Terminator should all be renewed without question IMO.

Fringe started out slow, but has gotten much much better recently and is worth keeping on air (and it reminds me so much of the x-files i dont want it to go away yet).

Chuck is a great show, the tension between chuck and Sarah and the crazy antics of the buymore crew are hysterical.

From what I have seen of Life it looks like a good show, I only watched Terminator in the beginning and it was ok, apparently it has gotten better. And if the first episode of Kings is any indication of where the series is headed then it would be a big mistake to not renew.

oh and Dollhouse.... ugh, I had such high hopes for this show. I mean it could be good, but every time an episode gets remotely interesting it somehow gets sabotaged by itself. That and the fact that the main character is a different person in every episode doesn't help maintain continuity. They need to define characters and roles and maybe they can salvage the show.

Hopefully Sons of Anarchy comes back. I know it was given the green light for a second season, but between now and August leaves a lot of room for networks to do stupid things. (But it is cable).

Chuck and Fringe should stay no questions asked. Everything else can go and I wouldn't shed a tear.

Oh, and definately more Dexter :thumbsup:

I love Joss Whedon and I love Eliza Dwhatever... but Dollhouse was pretty bad.

it's hard to base a show around a protagonist with quite literally no personality.

I actually liked The Apprentice non-celebs version.

I'm just so done with Donald Trump... his only worth is being parodied on SNL.

Because it sucks.

I like Castle. It has a good mix of comedy and drama to me.

the only shows on that list that i have watched are Fringe and Dollhouse.

I really like Fringe, probably because it reminds me of X-Files which I loved.

I'm not sure what to think about Dollhouse. I keep watching it, but the story hasn't really been that good imo.

I think you guys are just too inundated with cop shows.
I don't watch much much tv so I think maybe I have fresher perspective on it.

Chuck, Life, Fringe, Terminator should be renewed, the rest are pretty forgetable.

Dollhouse is just stupid, great eye candy, but I don't like the basic premise, it fails to suspend my disbelief

Eh, if you ask me, Fringe has to go too.

I liked it. But I also like Knight Rider and that didn't get me too far.

Whedon supposedly had a long term plan for the show, and everything so far is just set up. Stupid viewers and their three minute attention spans? :|

:p
