I am looking forward to NCIS and Criminal Minds. Both is awesome, they better not be cancelled!!
What’s up with CSI Miami, one week it came on an hour after it was supposed to. Numb3rs was showing on the guide but CSI Miami was on.
The following week it came on maybe 20 minutes after the hour so anyone who DVR’d the programs got screwed. Wouldn’t be so bad if I had been home to watch, but I had to DVR it and missed it because of there screw up.

VERY Disapointed that Ghost Whisperer was cancelled. One of the very few programs I actually watched. A real “feel good” show.
I’m tired of all the reality tv!!!
Have got to say… CBS has the strongest fall line-up! All my favs! Never miss NCIS, CSI: Miami, The Good Wife, CSI, Blue Bloods, plus the Monday sitcom line-up is fantastic too. All a bunch of winners!!!
I really liked ghost whisperer! never really cared for medium, so i’m disappointed that gw was cancelled while allowing medium to stay.
I can’t help liking the Mentalist even though something strange has happened.

At first I thought I was going nuts, but now I have had months to go over all the info and they’re definitely telling a story about Julius Caesar and his kids. I have posted a few articles trying to explain the connections and background, probably too much for most people to grasp because it took… Read more »
Remaking the old shows is a waste. I definitley will not e watching Hawaii 5-0 or Defenders. No use starting to watch them now, only to have them cancelled later on in the season or next season. Looking forward to return drama shows such as Criminal Minds, CSUI Vegas & NY, as well as Medium & Mentalist. Also some of the return comedies I’m looking forward to as well, such as Two & 1/2 Men, Big Bang, & Rules of Engagement. And of course Reality in Survivor & Amazing Race. It will be so nice to have something to watch… Read more »
