Blood Red

CBS upfront

Honestly I watch CBS more than any other network...i just really like my crime shows. Looking at their new schedule it's pretty par for the course with only a couple of surprises. The cancelled Without a Trace and Eleventh Hour but kept Gary Unmarried and The New Adventures of Old Christine? And what's up with them taking NBC castoff Medium? Well i guess it kind works between Ghost Whisperer and Numbers but unless if gets more CBSish numbers I can't see it staying there long.

Monday
How i met your mother
Accidentally on purpose
Two and a half men
big bang theory
CSI Miami

Tuesday
NCIS
NCIS Los Angeles (are they serious about that name?)
The Good Wife


Wednesday
The New Adventures of old Christine
Gary Unmarried
Criminal Minds
CSI New York

Thursday
Survivor
CSI
The Mentalist

Friday
Ghost Whisperer
Medium
Numbers

saturday

rerun
48 hours mystery

Sunday
60 Minutes
Amazing Race
3 Rivers
Cold Case

I'm not  feeling these new shows...the Mentalist move is interesting and makes total sense if CBS suspects the CSI's days are numbered. Since i'm sure they don't want to give up on thursday. I'm disapointed at no changes at all on Wednesday. I mean Old Chistine and Gary are 2 of the lowest rated shows no the network..Criminal Minds deserves to have a lead in but here we are with another year with CBS totally giving up on this hour.

Lets morn the cancelled shows of the season

This time of the year brings the end to a lot of different shows. Some old and ready to go away, others not so much. Some will be morned, other's demise will be celebrated.

ABC
According to Jim
Boston Legal
Cupid
Dirty Sexy Money
Eli Stone
HOmeland Security
In the motherhood
Life on Mars
Opportunity knocks
Pushing Daisies
Samantha Who
The Unusuals

Hmmm. i guess remaking a cancelled show (Cupid) doesn't really work. I see lots and lots of sophmore series here..with the investment they made in those that's gotta really suck. I liked Eli Stone and Pushing daisies ok but they were just too quirky for their on good or network tv...take your choice.

CBS
Eleventh Hour
the Ex List
Game Show in my head
Harpers island
The Unit
Without a Trace
Worst Week

I was starting to suspect that it might be without a traces time this season. For me the show seems to be getting kinda tired. I mean back in the day I really liked it but lately it just seems too much soapy relationship stuff. But thats just my 2cents. What exactly was game show in my head? I mean i never even heard of that one. I kinda liked Eleventh Hour and felt like it was getting better at the end but i guess it just wasn't doing well enough.

CW
13 Fear is real
4real
Easy Money
Everybody hates Chris
The Game
In Harms Way
Privileged
Reaper
Valentine

Ummm... I didn't watch any of these shows and haven't even heard of more than half of them.

FOX
Do not disturb
Hole in the Wall
Osbornes reloaded
Prison Break
Secret Millionare
Sit down Shut up
Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles

Wow! i'm in shock. FOX wasn't the network withthe most canceled shows this year. Good for them. Furthermore several of their cancelations were more than urned. I mean Hole in the Wall and Osbornes reloaded should have never made it to air.

NBC
America's Toughest Jobs
Chopping block
Crusoe
Deal or no Deal
ER
Howie Do it
Kath and Kim
Kings
Knight Rider
Life
Lipstick Jungle
Momma's boys
My name is Earl
My own worst Enemy
Superstars of Dance

This is a weird list. There are good shows on it (Life) shows that lived long and earned their send off (ER) and total junk (chopping block). NBC canceled a ton of stuff including constant stand in Deal or no deal. Hopefully they learned not to remake old shows (Bionic woman, knight rider). Hopefully they have something decent up their sleaves for next year other than Leno because that kinda sucks.

Overall the 2 shows I really watched that got canceled were Without a Trace, Eleventh Hour and Life. Of those i think i will miss Life the most. I know some people will be really upset by some shows on this list. I mean NBC really hacked away at it's schedule or ABC knocking of it's quirky shows. But in the end this is all part of the cycle and we will be doing this again next year..and the year after that...
