"GCB: Good Christian B******"

In this week's Entertainment Weekly, this show was on a list of shows that are in trouble as far as hopes for renewal. But unless ABC has something else up their sleeve as a “replacement” for Desperate Housewives, they really should give GCB another season to find its footing. I was also disappointed that PanAm never really took off (pardon the pun)- I loved that show.

I was so bummed to see that it was officially cancelled. Not only this, but a whole slew of other shows like House, Alcatraz and the Secret Circle... what really shocks me is the programs that made the cut. Whitney? Don't trust the B in Apt 23? 2 Broke Girls? (sorry to any of you folks that enjoy these shows, but I find them weak)

At least I have new seasons of "The Glades," "White Collar" and "Franklin and Bash" to look forward to.

I do watch all of those shows (I'm a sucker for female-centric sitcoms, what can I say?), but I’m not offended. I understand your point. The only thing I can think of is that GCB does have a pretty large cast, and more sets (homes, offices, the church, Cricket’s private plane!), so the budget must have been huge compared to any of the comedies. I guess it’s a cost-benefit thing. A show that’s cheaper to produce can “afford” to skate by on lower ratings for a little longer. But even then, sitcoms don’t get a free pass. Remember Better with You? Perfect Couples?

I had to look those up on IMDb, and I still don't remember ever hearing of either of them.

This occurred to me as well. The wardrobe and accessory expenses must have been fairly steep, too.

I watched Pan Am for the first few episodes, and then stopped. I just lost interest. When you DVR something, and then never get around to watching it, it's not a good sign.

I have to admit -- that's been us and Glee: Season 3. We haven't watched a single episode yet, so I think we're just going to delete them.

We have a rule- if we've DVRed more than 2 episodes of a show and still haven't watched them, we just delete them.

I figured this was coming, but now I'm sad because the last episode set up some interesting potential plot lines and it's always annoying when they leave you hanging!

Bummer. Maybe it could get picked up by a cable channel?

Yep. Oh, well.

I'm a little pissy about The River, Awake, and Harry's Law getting cancelled too.
