What to cancel, what to cancel?

How expensive can Law and Order be? S. Epatha Merkerson is gone, and aside from Sam Waterston, every one left is a relative newbie. Their production team are leftover reject promotions from CI, another lower-budget show.

Now that CBS/Paramount has over 100 episodes for Medium and Ghost Whisperer, it's time to put those ridiculous shows out to pasture.

So many of these shows have aged badly, so many shouldn't have had a chance to air at all, and some (like you point out — Whisperer and Medium) are just plain ridiculous.

Im almost wishing they'd can Heroes. Im watching out of habit but would love to see NBC pull the plug on that little habit bc I havent enjoyed it since season 1. The show is horrible with each season getting worse than the last

[Sylph]

I wish they cancelled it too.

Cancel Rules of Engagement. I'm still bitter about this crap show replacing The Class.

Everything?

Heroes, Chuck, Melrose Place, 90210 (I think its renewed), Fly Girls, High Society, Flash Forward, Trauma, Mercy, Being Erica, One Tree Hill, Southland...

The CW's FG and HS are cheap reality shows... so they might be back. SN need to forget about BE. Averaging under 200,000 viewers per episode is really bad. SN should use the money to buy the rights to air an excellent drama like "Footballers Wives" or something... Or even put more money to air Hollyoaks and EastEnders.

At least L&O still delivers an occasional punch, I'm sick of all the smug winningness on shows like CSI, Bones etc.

The CW has A LOT of pilots. They all actually sound good too, better than half what they have on tv right now.

They should take Unexpected over OTH. Melrose can go, even though it has become much better in the last two episodes. Top Model only should run one cycle. As much as i have LOVED Gossip Girl, it could go too but its already been picked up. They should keep 90210 right where it is and dont even think about moving Vampire. Supernatural should go after Smallville on fridays.

They really should pick up all their pilots, but what are the odds of that? They have HMS, Hellcats, Betwixt, Nomads and wyoming. Of those three id really like to see HMS & Nomads, so both will prob not be picked up. lol.

I would do it like this-

Mon- HMS, Nomads

Tue- 90210, Hellcats

Wed- Top Model, Gossip Girl

Thurs- Vampire, Nakita

Fri- Smallville, Supernatural

That would leave Betwixed, Life Unexpected and Wyoming for mid season or if one of the new shows flops hard (TBL anyone?). If they bring back Melrose it should be for 12 episodes or so and kept for mid season as well.

I would also advise the CW to STOP airing new episodes for like two months, go away from 3 weeks, come back for 2 weeks, go away for a month, come back for a week, go away from three, come back for two, go away for 4 months, come back for 2 months, etc... just air the shows, take a normal winter break. as much new programing as you can. at some point this season they had 2 hours of new programing a week. Why?!

I hope CW picks up Life Unexpected for a second season. Although I can't stand Lux as a character, I love Shiri Appleby

NBC should renew Parenthood & Chuck and cancel Heroes, Mercy and Trauma.

As for ABC, I don't really care. I didn't like V, didn't see FlashForward.

CBS - hmmmm. I think they will renew Ghost Whisperer and possibly Medium for midseason. Isn't Numbers already done? Cold Case is a goner too. Too bad, I really enjoy that show.
