Placebo Effect

The producers have even recognized its the last year. It's a shame because I was looking forward to Malcolm at college. He visited one a season and a half ago, and then they never spoke of it again.

I get the feeling they keep renewing Bernie Mac simply because they don't want to be accused of catering only to the white demographic.

Considering how small his roles usually are, I can see him still popping up.

Bullshit. Why else do you think Mantell has that flavor saver?

CRIMETIME SATURDAY is probably a hell of a lot cheaper to make.

Well, so much for Jack & Bobby. Glad to see I still don't have to care about the WB on Sundays. And the Friday night comedy line-up rocks. And yes, I'm not being sarcastic, as there's a soft spot in my heart for WB sitcoms. Smart of them to pad new shows with proven winners too.

My God, ABC moved almost everything around. 8 Simple Rules and My Wife & Kids, along with midseasoners Eyes and Blind Justice, are all gone. Less Than Perfect did get renewed, but it looks like they're just going to produce a bunch of episodes incase something gets canceled. Freddie, by the way, is a sitcom starring Freddie Prinze Jr. Yay.

YES! It'd be better if there was a fourth ordered as well, but whatever.

Well, they'll be well beyond 100 episodes at the end of the fifth season, so if it gets cut, that's when it'll happen.

I actually met Bill Lawrence (and other cast members of Scrubs) last night, and even when he had a few drinks in him, he didn't mention the show being held back. He just may have never been told until today.

From Zap2It. Well, that kind of kills my eagerness. I'll be glad to see Jake in Progress renewed, as despite its flaws, I kind of enjoyed it. I was kind of hoping Less Than Perfect would get canceled, if only because Eric Roberts would go back to DTV films. That's a bit mean, yes, but Roberts rocks. Rodney, George Lopez, and other crap, whatever.

Fear Factor is going to be back as soon as Fathom fails. TBJ getting canned is total bullshit Meh. I was thinking Criminal Intent might get pulled. I'm mostly anticipating what ABC, FOX, and the WB do with their schedules.

Because the name Apprentice = $$$$ Don't be stupid. But there's no way that she can be anything like Donald Trump. And what will she say instead of "you're fired"? Some intern will think of something and they'll steal it. I could care less about the show, but The Apprentice actually has a fanbase that will tune in. If they stay remains the question, but it will pop a good rating for a couple weeks at least. Fear Factor also got pulled like Scrubs. And Law & Order: Trial By Jury is done.

Because the name Apprentice = $$$$ Don't be stupid.

I like Tom Goes to Mayor, but it's just not too good. I can see Adult Swim renewing it for one more season, and then cutting it like most of their shows.

Once a show gets canceled, they'll throw Scrubs and a mid-season replacement in. And hell, if The Office doesn't do well, they'll just put Scrubs there. Shitty line-up, though. I'll watch the new shows for a couple weeks, but meh.

Awesome.

I don't know if its rebounded, but halfway through the season it had taken a larger dip than any other show that had not changed its timeslot.

Try telling that to Superman fans But no one cares about them because they're fucking dorks. It's God damn Superman for Christ's sakes.

I think the true question is why the fuck we're discussing this as if it really matters.

Of course, that would also make you a liar and a thief. Well, Yuna is a woman after all...

God damn that was good. It'd be nice if Styles won on Sunday, but I think they're saving the title for Brown. If he doesn't announce his intentions to renew the contract by Sunday, though, I could see Styles winning.

Netflix is absolutely perfect with their trials. The DVDs don't need to be back when you cancel either. As long as they arrive seven days after the end of the trial, you're okay. You should call Netflix's customer service number when it's time to cancel. When they ask you why, say that during your two week trial, two discs had light scratches that slightly affected its playing. They'll either extend the trial by two more weeks, or give you another month for free.

Zap2It has the ratings going from a 6.3 / 9 to a 5.5 / 8. They measure things a bit different, though, as it goes by percentage of households rather than a raw number if I remember correctly.
