Three cheers for three years for Fringe!
I just realized how many shows I watch on FOX! Thank you, FOX, for keeping all of my favorites – GLEE, Bones, House, Kitchen Nightmares, and Hell’s Kitchen. Whatever FOX is doing, ABC needs to catch on. ABC keeps killing all the shows I love. The only two they kept this year, that I watch anyway, were Modern Family and The Middle.
Too bad they bothered to renew Bones. Won’t be watching next year. Not after “Booth’s” lame mea culpa over his infidelity to his wife. When will people learn there are consequences to their actions?
I TOTALLY agree with Michelle! Lie to Me is an awesome show!
phewwwwwwwwww!!!! lie to me … ITS ALIVE!!!!!!
I’m glad you’re giving Human Target another shot.
im pissed off glees back!!!!! glees with f*cking ******
I’m hating the new slot for Human Target. They renewed it, but now they put it in a slot where it will probably die a miserable death.
I thought Mental was an excellent program. So sorry it didn’t get much chance as Fox did not promote it well. It had drama, comedy, and real life problems. Too bad. I love 24 and will really miss it, but it had to end sometime. Hope Keifer will be in another T.V. series.
FRINGE is my LOST replacement. I’ve been watching it since the beginning and love it more with each episode. Never even watched FOX till they added Fringe, Dollhouse and Glee. At least two of my three shows survived.
I really wish Fox would have given Mental a chance over the summer. Such a clever show with potential. Fox seems to not learn from their mistakes and continually tries to bring on new shows. Patience Fox! Have a little patience and give these shows some time!
Well, I think its time that 24 ends, I’m gald that House is returning, and I think Past Life should’ve done better. I really liked it and I’m sad it did so poorly.
The only cancelation that really disappoints me is 24. I’ve loved the show from day 1 episode 1… tense drama from beginning to end, just what I like!
i like mental it is a great show
only thing i watch on fox is 24, fringe, and dollhouse. they killed dollhouse and 24 is going away. never cared for fox much.
They make bad decisions.
