QFT! For lightweight fare, it's really funny, especially for geeks, and drama parts of the stories actually work.

Southland is pure suck! I watched the pilot, and I didn't like it. I gave it another chance, last night, and I won't be back.

I think the show is horribly scripted, horribly edited and horribly shot. I couldn't keep it on for more than 5 minutes without surfing for something... ANYTHING... better... or at least interesting. :p

I'm guessing Chuck will be a casualty of the 10 pm Leno show and Medium will be moved down to 9 pm

this weekend i watch the entier knight rider season 1, and the pilot movie.... i think they deserve to get another season. i like it because i enjoy it as a 'kid's show' like the classic knight rider.

I agree but I think part of Chuck's problem is its time slot. I believe it's up against Dancing With the Stars...

I used to watch Terminator until I heard it was getting canceled at the end of the season. I'm getting tired of adding new shows only to see them get canned shortly after I start watching. I guess if I were a fan of reality TV and dancing shows I would be in love with TV right now.

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.

You've been watching it the entire season and feel that way? I love the show. The start was really meh but it has become a suitable replacement for an X-Files-esque show in my book.

It's worth watching the rest of Terminator...

If only for when Summer Glau walked around in her underwear.

Sweet!

I love this show... too bad only 13 episodes each and too bad many of the mainstays will have graduated.

Ugh....another season?

The sad part is, I keep watching this show, but yet I hate it. Weird I know.
I just wish the show was more about football (like the movie) and less about teen drama.

Only 3 weeks till the official announcements, who's working on getting the home address for the VP responsible for the chuck, terminator, and life decisions in case we need to induce some rethinking. :)

Fringe? That's not even worth mentioning. Its ratings are stellar. It isn't going anywhere.

My only hard and fast rules are keep Fringe and Castle.

Fringe is vaguely X-file-ish and the story keeps getting better (plus Anna is hot).
Castle is the best cop show out there mainly because it's more comedy and less drama.

Dollhouse... the story has so much potential that I want it to keep going, but I find it hard to justify after so many poor episodes.

1. "Chuck"

2. "Life"


3. "Fringe"


4. "Better Off Ted"


5. "Dollhouse"


6. "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"


7. "Kings"


8. "Rock of Love"


9. "Celebrity Apprentice"
"The Apprentice" was getting to be a tired format. The addition of celebrities

10. "Southland"/"The Unusuals"

There's not a single show in that list that has ever tempted me to watch a single episode.

WTF ever happened to quality TV?

Have you tried watching at least the first episode of some to see if you like it maybe?

At least try Kings since it surprised me and I enjoyed it.

Also thanks for breaking the forum somehow with quotes. :laugh:

keep Fringe and Terminator, you can scrap the rest. Dollhouse was pretty hot with that plus size chick but it is getting stale and im slowly losing interest in her.

also chuck was good until i discovery gossip girl which airs at the same time slot, so it can go too.

So far I'm a fan of Southland and Kings.

I've never managed to watch chuck. It looks good though.

Yeah, Castle just rocks! Stana Katic (or whatever her name is) is hot too!
