It was clear that no one knew quite what to do with The Bionic Woman.  It was retooled so many times in 1/2 a season, that it got silly.  That said, Michelle Ryan and Lucy Hale had four reasons to keep me watching. 

In all seriousness, I was rooting for Ryan to make it big here as I've been a fan since she started on Eastenders, and Sackhoff is always great.  Heck, her character was probably the most compelling thing about the show.

Knight Rider was fucking awful.

What has me hopeful about Wonder Woman, despite the weird update, is that it's David E. Kelley.

Merlin is a lot of fun.  I hope it does okay ratings-wise this side of the pond.  I think it got picked up for two more series in the UK.

The two-hour premiere of The Cape bored me so much I never finished it.

But Hells Bells!  Supernatural is back!

 Clash of the Titans on Monday was posted even though you claim it sucks, but NO mention that House is new? I don't even think that's logical.

House isn't scifi/fantasy.  It's a medical procedural.  They didn't list Bones or Top Chef either for similar reasons.

V is probably gone for good?!?  Does Rob know something we don't?  Last week the next episode preview said "in two weeks"...so I'm guessing it will still finish out it's season.

SarcasticCaveman, I was wondering the same thing about Family Guy. My DVR recorded even though it's set to record only first-run episodes.  Family Guy's Facebook page said it was an all-new episode, but I went to watch it and the "info" on my cable said it was from November and it was the episode where Brian writes what he considers a crappy book and everyone loves it.  What the hell, FOX!?  I'm tired of having to buy separate DVD releases of episodes that didn't air.  At least add that episode to the regular box sets.

FYI, don't know if anyone here watches or gets the station HUB on your cable, but they actually air the old 1960's Batman tv series in the middle of the night.  Sometimes it's just one episode and others it's two.  Rob, you really should add this to your wasteland listings.

And if that plot summary for Wonder Woman is accurrate, then count me out.  Sounds lame.

V should have been gone for good a long time ago.  The show was and is terrible.  Flash forward was a much better show canceled before its time.

 I gotta say I kinda liked Bionic woman myself, and Katie Sackhoff is such a great actress given time I reckon it would have worked, how many genre shows start off great they normally need time to find their feet. What's happened to V?  They really need to get sh*t rolling with that as it's been plodding along too slowly, we all know most of the premise so they should just get straight to bad aliens bit. Things like Smallville & Supernatural keep going which amazes me but that said I'm getting on a bit now & in my teens & 20s I would have watched them, just like I did knight rider & thought it was awesome, but I cringe when I see the reruns now.

Okay, three episodes in, and I can tell Primeval is complete shite. A giant crocodile-type thing starts showing up in a swimming pool, then an a river...they posit that the temporal anomoly is fixed to its location in the past, but appears in random places in the present (but along some sort of temporal fault line). Thus, they decide that it's a good idea to watch every body of water along the fault. I'd be really concerned about the very likely possibility that the anomoly would appear in dry land somewhere along the temporal fault, causing massive flooding and devastation. The continents aren't presently where they were tens of millions of years ago, nor is their geography the same. What was once underwater is no longer. Why can't the anomoly appear in solid rock or something? The whole concept is just fucking stupid.
