I like to watch Eli Stone.

[missionhockey21]

I like Eli Stone too. I was pretty pumped to hear that and Reaper getting second seasons. Reaper really improved after the writer's strike, breaking from the formulaic style it fell into after the pilot.

[ATLien]

Reaper is coming back mid-season, though, which I totally don't understand. But at least they are bringing it back.

I am actually pretty optimistic about a few of these pilots coming next season.

man, at first I thought you were talking about the Cubs.. That is what they call the scrubbies, I mean Cubbies. hahahahaha.......

[HafDawg2003]

I'm happy Scrubs is getting another season. Unfortunately, I won't see it until its repeated on Comedy Central 6 times a day.

[protectNYC]

good deal! more Scrubs is always a great thing. But I wish Lost was included in that list of new fall seasons. How long are we gonna haveta wait for the next one??

LOST was fantastic last week and the word from LOSTpedia is that we should all brace ourselves for another series turning mind twist similar to what they did last season with the flash-forward.

Nobody (except girlfriends) cares about Grey's Anatomy, I want to see the LOST finale this week, not next.

[Kingdom]

I'll take three hours of lost, though. That's like a movie even without commercials.

2 hour finale plus last week's shown beforehand(which I assume they'll do since that's what they have been doing....)

[missionhockey21]

Yeah, that's true too. Eitherway, I'm hoping someone tells Locke that there is something he can't do and then he totally does it anyway because nobody tells John Locke what he can't do.

[Kingdom]

Lindelhoff-Hitler said the finale was going to have a lot of action plus the standard Lost mind-**** twist.



Did you know JJ Abrams is doing another mind bender show, on FOX, for next season? Fringe, perhaps.. he and Joss Whedon decided to they're going to fry the FOX kiddies with two nutty drama shows. (which means they'll have stellar reviews, critical acclaim, lots of award nominations and will be cancelled half way through)

[missionhockey21]

Fringe (although I anticipate it a great deal), will likely be canceled and The Cleveland Show will see a full-season renewal.

Speaking of cancellations, thankfully Cane was canceled so LOST was able to get back Nestor Carbonell (Dr. Alpert) who I think is pretty obvious to have a significant role in the future story arc.

[Kingdom]

If only they hadn't killed off Libby. I hated that decision, contract up or not (supposedly she was going to be in a new show, that never even saw light of day?). Woosh.

Yeah, Cane was never going to work. A show with drug overtones on one of the alphabet channels? Nah, only works on FX, HBO and Showtime, ha!
