Call the Waaaaaaaaaahbulance...

Do the US TV networks want me to start playing outside?

  • First they cancelled Pushing Daisies, now they're looking to axe the quite brilliant Chuck (where am I going to get my hour of pretty nerds and bonus Baldwin now?)
  • The Sarah Connor Chronicles looks like it's not being renewed
  • Prison Break has 4 episodes left (starting back on Sky Next TUESDAY woot!)
  • And Reaper may not get renewed either.


So all I've got to watch next year is:
Lost
Heroes (shortened series, mid season a la Lost)
Fringe (which is getting very, very good now)
Bones

And on British telly:
Doctor Who
Being Human
QI
Animal Park
Merlin


*sighs*

In other news:
[x] Disney re-use their animation
[x] Pushing Daisies to live on as a comic

UMMMM, Chuck better come back or I will cut someone!

Heroes is doing a short season? And no more Sarah Connor? After /that/ ending?

*sulks at the US*

Oh, you've also got Tonight's The Night. And if you look carefully in ep 4, you might see me there :P

apparently not. And they're supposedly not renewing Dollhouse either. I hope the networks have plenty of shows to fill the gaps.

I downloaded the first ep of Dollhouse to watch, but somehow have never got round to it.

Not going to watch Ashes to Ashes?

And oh man, that Disney re-use article is making me kind of angry. Sure, you can argue it's lazy, or you can say it's time-saving, jeez, do these guys even fathom how long this shit takes to do D:

I've got Ashes to Ashes sky+d in readiness but I don't think there will be another series after this one what with Glenister leaving.

D'aww, I hadn't heard that ): They'd better wrap this series up properly then!

[identity profile] --kali--.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so too. But I'm not sure if Glenister announced his quitting before or after the series wrapped.

Well, they haven't definitely said one way or another about Chuck. Personally, I'm with you - I hope it gets renewed (it's just about my favourite programme at the moment), so, hopefully it's just premature scares and not the real thing.

from what I've been reading it's been getting okay viewing figures but nothing amazing and at the end of the day that's what the TV Execs look at. Which makes me sad.

I told you to go watch Legend of teh Seeker. Go now! Shoo!

I didn't bother starting it until I knew it was going to get a second season.

[identity profile] --kali--.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
yes I'm sorting that at the moment. I may save watching that though.

[identity profile] doylefan22.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well they've still got another 5 of this series to show yet.

Kind of annoying really - if I'd waited until half term to watch it, I could have seen the whole lot at once.

And I totally didn't start watching it because someone said there was Craig Parker being all sexy evil...

ps - that is one angry caterpillar.

He's well cross.

On Sunday he ate a plum, a pear, an apple, a cream horn, a cherry, hurled abuse at some kids and kicked a puppy.

i thought lost was finished as well?

[identity profile] --kali--.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, one more series of 16 episodes after this and then that's out lot.

There us a rumour going around about Chuck, that if it does get cancelled, the Cheif Exec at CW loves Chuck and may look into picking it up if it's cancelled

Well, that's hopeful news!
