I won't be upset by any of these.

Oooh I always like Cold Case (when I had a chance to watch it). Not too surprised either about Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's an enternaining show week by week, but it has lost it's momentum :( Everything else, meh. I haven't even heard of some of them!

I hate reading this stuff. It gets me nervous and anxious. I've read that it's not just a numbers game so there will be a few shows that won't get the ax because they do consider the type of show and the night it's on. Like Numbers, it's on Friday so the expectation is lower and acceptable. Also, Boston Legal being on that list is a bit moot since this is the last season anyway. Even though I agree with a lot of those shows being there on that list it still saddens me. Pushing Daisies was really good last year. :( Oh and hey, Easy Money is really not that bad. I have it on the CW on Sundays late at night and it was on for background noise and it engaged me. Valentine on the other hand really sucks. The shows I am pulling for are PD, Life and Terminator: SCC, oh and Dirty Sexy Money. Another aside, The Ex-List is pretty good too...but it's on Friday. Oh and I'm sorry but Knight Rider should be in red! Never have I ever been so disappointed and let visual graphics determine my opinion...but they really suck! So bad that I turned the channel in the first 5 minutes. Anyway, that's just my opinion and its Canadian so it really doesn't matter. ;)

[quote=OtherPplsDrama;35769]Oooh I always like Cold Case (when I had a chance to watch it).[/quote] I kind of wish I would have gotten into Cold Case out of the gate. I never actively watch it, but find that it is always on in the background (after TAR) and I love the sound track. Couldn't tell you if it is any good as a show though, lol. Lists like these make me stop watching things... I was planning on giving Crusoe a shot but now that I see it might not even make it another week I've changed my mind. Even as bad as Daisies has been, if it was doing good numbers I'd probably watch, but being it is probably going to get canceled - why bother. The only show I am actually sad about is DSM. I like it! I hope we get answers first! Please don't pull the plug and leave Dutch's death a mystery! :D

[/quote] I think it's great as a show. I watched consistently the first few seasons, then got distracted by more appealing Sunday Night lineups. They rerun it on USA, or TrueTV, or one of those. The stories are always unique and engaging, and I love how they match the songs/soundtracks with the cases. Bummer if it doesn't continue, but I'd still watch reruns or buy on DVD.

Thanks Katleen. Don't forget that by saved, it just means they will let them play out their season. Many (like Life) are destined to be canceled after this spring and I am having trouble getting into a show with a death wish. ;) It looks like DSM, Pushing Daisies and Life on Mars all [URL="http://tvbythenumbers.com/category/renewcancel-index"]got the ax [/URL]as well.

For the first time in memory, there is not a single show that I'm following that is cancelled, saved or on the bubble. Perhaps I'm not living dangerously enough?

It's also likely that this is the last season for Prison Break. An additional 2 hour episode has been added to production. All signs are pointing to a tie up of the series.

Perhaps I'm not living dangerously enough?[/quote] I am still watching Dirty Sexy Money, but was not expecting it to make it and will not be that forlorn to see it go. I already jumped ship on Pushing Daisies, Life on Mars, My Own Worst Enemy and Eli Stone - so I don't care about their fate either way. There really isn't much out there to live dangerously for in the first place! Very said state of affairs on Network TV.
