Which New Show Will Get Canceled Next?
CBS has canceled The Ex List, making it the latest victim in a Fall season that's already claimed Do Not Disturb and Opportunity Knocks. There was a story recently about how networks were picking up shows that normally wouldn't deserve it because of the economy — but apparently that can't save everything.
Some of this Fall's new shows (90210, Fringe, Knight Rider, The Mentalist) have already been given full-season orders, but that leaves a lot of other new shows in limbo.
Which TV Network Is Doing Best This Year?
Over at the Hollywood Reporter, there's a pretty hilarious slideshow of how the TV networks are performing so far this Fall, including which animal each would be most like. (CBS is an elephant, strong but wrinkled; the CW is a gazelle, skinny and likely to be gobbled up.) It's interesting to see that almost nobody is doing well this Fall (every single network has gone down in viewers since last year), and — as we've been seeing in the ratings each week — even the one-time powerhouses like Grey's Anatomy and Heroes are really struggling.
But I'm wondering if, for you, there's a network that's clearly been a standout this year.
Buzz In: Which New Shows Will You Keep Watching?
It's hard to believe it's been several weeks since the Fall TV season officially kicked off. This season's been strange so far, with new shows dribbling out over the course of two months (90210 started Sept. 2; Crusoe just started on Friday; we won't see Stylista till Wednesday).
Which of This Week's Series Premieres Was Your Favorite?
It was almost like September all over again this week, as a whole bunch of new TV series made their debuts, starting with The Ex List last Friday and ending with NBC's Kath and Kim, CBS's Eleventh Hour, and FX's Testees last night. Did you watch any of these shows? And, if so, what was your favorite?
Buzz In: Have You Broken Up With Any "Relaunched" Shows?
The Fall of 2007 came in with great fanfare in the TV world, only to be squashed just weeks later by the writers' strike. For this Fall, some networks focused on "relaunching" those shows cut short because of the strike: Chuck and Life on NBC, and Pushing Daisies, Private Practice, and Dirty Sexy Money on ABC. (Though it's now in its third season, Heroes probably falls into this category, too.)
The good news: Many of those shows might not have gotten renewed without the writers' strike.
Which of Tonight's Premieres Are You Most Eager to Watch?
It seems like I've been adding a new show to the ol' TiVo lineup every night this month, but tonight really takes the cake with six major premieres, from extra-long versions of Grey's Anatomy and The Office to the start of ER's 15th and final season. Which of these premieres are you most excited to watch tonight?

Fall TV's Five Toughest Tradeoffs
"What am I going to watch tonight?" Once Fall TV kicks in next week, that question gets more complicated. New series will duke it out with returning favorites for TiVo space, and some of my beloved shows will go head-to-head.
ABC's National Stay-at-Home Week: Brilliant or Baffling?
I wonder if Hallmark will be picking up on this new "holiday" anytime soon: To promote its Fall shows, ABC has declared the week of Sept. 21 "National Stay-at-Home Week." Not coincidentally, that's the week that a lot of ABC shows premiere, including Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy.
NBC's Fall Schedule: My Take
NBC started off this year's Upfronts more than a month early this afternoon, kicking off the frenzy of Fall TV announcements with its no-frills presentation (which took the form of either a PowerPoint presentation or a conference call, depending on where you were). While the format of the announcements wasn't thrilling, the content will give us much to speculate about over the next few months. Here are some of my initial thoughts:
- I think Save Friday Night Lights said this one best: Touchdown!
