and they cancelled outsourced after they screwed the pooch changing times. apparently it was their second best rated show last fall, then they moved it (which i didn't even notice because i DVR) and apparently ratings tanked. maybe they tanked because you moved it and didn't tell anyone, idiots!
I swear, if one more good show gets cancelled to make room for another lame-ass cop, or lawyer, or cops and lawyers, or doctors, or cops arresting lawyers and doctors show, I swear Im gonna go postal...NCIS, CSI, L&A, L&ASVU, I mean, I thought japanese engine names were bad.
I watch:
The Office, Big Bang theory, Raising Hope, Modern Family and have no idea what network any of them are on.
In reply to T.J.:
All my shows are on my Tivo list. I don't know when or where they are on originally.
I don't watch any shows in their first season when they first air. If they are supposedly great and are already renewed for a second season, I'll watch the first season during the summer.
Rememer that show, The Good Guys with Collin Hanks? Awesome show, damn funny. Cancelled.
Buncha crap...
On a related not, it looks like The Simpsons is getting canned, not because after 23 years it is time to call it quits, but contract disputes between the voice actors and Fox.

don't forget NCIS LA, CSI Miami and NY, bluebloods and hawaii 5-0
I think all of TV is going to have to find out how to repackage itself and pay for itself, in a few years everything is going to be streaming anyway. Since we got a TV 2 years ago having gone the best part of 10 years without one, pretty much the only channel I ever watch actually is PBS because it doesn't have adverts interrupting it every five minutes. A couple of months ago I was channel surfing and came across House on Friday night. We love House and are in the process of watching from the beginning on DVD via Netflix (It's not available streaming) Much as I love the show I went to look for something streaming on Netflix at the second advert. I will not have my viewing interrupted with ads, I just wont watch, instead I'll wait 6-12 months for it to come to me via Netflix, streaming or DVD. I'll pay my Netflix subscription, but I wont sit through interruptions to pay for a show. At least with PBS or streamed media the ad's are at the begining/end meaning you can go to the bathroom or grab a beer/wine/coffee/snack and not have the flow of the show interrupted. I don't have a problem with that. Ad's in the middle of a program pissed me off 20+ years ago when I still lived in the UK on ITV, hence most of what I watched was on BBC, but at least it was bearable when it was 10 mins of ad's to 50 mins of content. The program to crap ratio is so bad I just can't watch anything anymore.

I heard on the news this morning they are negotiating for next year's contracts, so it's probably too early to say the show will be cancelled. Making a lot of noise about it now is just part of the negotiating game. The network would be nuts to cancel the show, so I imagine they'll come up with a contract before it gets to that.
Apparently they want them to take a 45% pay cut. At least that's what the article I read stated.
I can't get all enthused about The New Girl. The comedy is too corny and unrealistic.
Ditto on Zoe OUGHT to be just about right until you watch and listen to her. There's something just not quite right.

I can't stand Bluebloods. My wife watches it so I see it from time to time. It is far to hokey to be believeable. The whole family/NYPD sitting down to dinner every night, asking the priest's advice before he sneezes. I only hope It's leading into the mother of all scandals. Maybe they get caught up with Bi-sexual midget terrorist pornographers or something
Another Show my wife likes that I can't stand is Sister wives It's about some nut with four wives and a bunch of kids. They were forced to leave Utah for being poligimists. They moved to Vegas and found the only vice that the people there can't tolarate. If he started screwing white tigers on his front lawn noone would mind, but as soon as the neighbors found out he had four wives they stopped talking to him. The only good thing about the show is that I can rip into all the nonsense without pissing off the wife.
I don't watch any shows on a regular basis except Chasing Classic Cars, the History Channel and Speed; but it's NASCRAP season so Speed is winding down.
Like I said earlier, put up whatever you can to bump those stupid reality Kardasian, MTV, reality survivor look-at-me nonsense shows.

My wife has twice as many shows as I do that she watches. Survivor, teen mom, sister wives, 19 kids and counting, etc. She's been trying to get me into these shows and I would rather take 100 grit sandpaper to my eyeballs.
On the upside, I hear Arrested Development is coming back for a short season and a movie.
Wally, you must live a different life than I do because Bluebloods doesn't look hookey to me at all. Well except for the fact the brothers and sisters get along too well with each other for real life.
The sitting down at the table, discussing the day's events and everything except the priest (I don't even know any Catholics) would fit just about everyone I know.
If they had put some of those shows on HBO or AMC I might have watched them. NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox seem to be all crappy, cheap to make reality shows and if anything good sneaks through it gets cancelled quickly.
I don't even bother looking at those channels anymore.

Thats exactly what i was expecting when I kept seeing commercials. It looked pretty stupid. But watched last nights episode....yeah, its a little weird but better than I expected, I laughed a few times. Its better than some of the other shows currently on that station.
I mostly wanted to give it a fair shake because i like Zooey. I like weird girls.

This.
I always thought alot of the shows on HBO and the like looked great, but I never had that channel. I really enjoy most of what FX has to offer, I've followed Justified from the beginning, but I've missed all of Sons of Anarchy, and I'd like to watch but I know I would be lost.
Starz has some decent original stuff, my wife really likes the Spartacus. But she also likes Degrassi......
Thanks to Top Gear BBCA is the channel i mostly watch even though only half the shows they air are decent.

My wife likes this show too. I get annoyed with one wife but four?
It's been 8 or 9 years but I'm still waiting for Firefly Season 2 ....
Homeland on Showtime is pretty good too.

I know lots of families have dinner together, but how often does the family have a retired cop, the police commishioner, a prosecutor, a detective and a rookie cop? Some towns don't have that big a department. Then to see that they all can work the same schedule so they can eat together adds to it.
