I don't watch commercials, I wish at the begining or end of the show they would list the crap they want us to buy with a code to help the shows. Nobody wants to watch commercials in this day and age and I don't want pop ups in the middle of a show. This honest way would help shows I think.
Shows I have stopped watching until someone says they've won't get canceled: Sarah Connor, Chuck. Sarah Connor cause of Shirley Manson and it started to suck and Chuck cause I didn't care for Chuck no more and would rather watch a 30 min sitcom on the BuyMore crew than the Chuck & Sarah stuff that leads to nowhere.
Show I have stopped watching cause it sucks and I'll wait till the 4th season: Heroes.
We stopped watching Sarah Connor and Heroes. As far as I'm concerned, they could cancel Heroes to make way for way for Medium. Or, they could cancel any number of spin-off cop shows to make way for Medium.
I'll really miss Life on Mars. Maybe the original was better plot wise, but the cast on this show is amazing. I don't understand why it didn't get more viewers.
I don't know how they could make Dollhouse a better show. It's a creepier version of Alias without the great team work.
BTW, I didn't realize that the actress who plays Sarah Connor is actually British, which is probably why I've found her emotions so unbelievable. She probably isn't able to translate the emotional inflections into the American accent. Some actors can manage it (The Mentalist guy, and Hugh Laurie are good examples). Some really great actors can't do it. One of best things about the movie Dead Again is watching Kenneth Brannagh and Emma Thompson doing terrible American accents. LoL I love that movie.
I am one of those people that never had an interest in watching life on Mars...it looked like some cop show which has been over done to death. I know there is supposed to be some time traveling element to it but time traveling and cop show doesn't equel my interest. They tried that once and Timecop only worked as a movie.
Dazzler, I agree with you about commericals and they still haven't figured out a way around all of that. Take the final of BSG for example. I DVRed it and I'm glad I did because there were tons of commercials in that thing. I think more and more people are going to go that route so they can FF through them. I realize they need those sponsers to help pay for some of our favorite shows but I don't want to watch them either. They need to adjust to the times and they haven't figured out how to do that yet.
They could go back to extreme product placement. I love watching those really early Burns and Allen shows where Gracie will say "Now George, aren't my cakes so much better now that I use X product? I don't know what I'd do without it." It's very Truman show-ish.
LOL littlenell...that would probably be a very good idea with reality TV but hour long shows....yikes...I can just see in the middle of a gunfight a a Terminator stops shooting and says "I wish I had a sweet suzie Q treat to keep me going through this fight." Somehow I don't think that would work. lol
The only thing I find wrong with the SCC is that the Terminators are usually fast paced robots that get things done but the movement of the show is rather slow, even though I'm into it. For instance The T-1000 (Manson) should have been slapping up multiple agenda's. How come she/ He it hasnt started making her own T-800 or premodel series Terminators? Shes playing around with the T-800 model with the still learning AI system. Personally I'm not so sure it's the beginning's Skynet but I could be wrong. I dont know if she has capabilities to create a time bubble but thats what I'd be leaning towards in the show, possibly trying to bring more T-800's for some invasion. That and making her own Terminators would be cool, who says that they have to be T-800's hell you could have your own version of the Terminator model just for this series which could give the show a little more character and originality. I did see that she has worked on the HK Ariel but not much else. As a T-1000 I would think it could get more done than a regular solid model!!! I'm not surpirised that she hasnt taken over with a virus already but then that could be because she could only infect a certain amount of systems and if Skynet isnt already online to back her up it would only get so far. Still that Terminator should be a very busy bee and it's not what a shame. Hope it doesnt get canceled but I also hope the shows steps up a little.
As for Doll house I dont really watch it even with Whedon. Not my thing. As for Knightrider hahahahahaha I saw like 1 episode. They lost me at KITTS voice. I knew then it was doomed. I dont even want to go into particulars to say why? at this point I shouldnt have to. I'm not really looking foraward to the new Stargate show but Star Wars Clone Wars is entertaining enough for now. So says the kid in me. So say we all.

We must save Chuck and Medium! They are both such great shows.
My prediction is, this Jay Leno deal is going to sink like a stone. I think there will be a limited appeal for him every night at 10:00.
My underwstanding about Life On Mars is that it will not end on a cliff hanger. I'm confused about why it failed so badly. IMHO, it was the best new series this season. It was really well written and well acted. People who have seen both say the British original was better. Not having seen the original I can't tell, but I suspect they were just used to it. If you loved the original of anything the remake can never match up.
