Do You Like Watching the Final Episodes of Canceled Shows?
This week's next-to-last episode of Pushing Daisies had me chuckling as always, and yet I couldn't help but feel sad. The show was canceled back in November, and ABC is appeasing fans by showing the final three unaired episodes on Saturday nights (it will soon do the same with Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money. But, with the exception of a few tweaks, the episodes weren't made to be the end of the series.
Which of This Year's Canceled Shows Will You Miss Most?
We've been looking ahead to Fall TV recently, but while the new shows are exciting, I also want to pay my last respects to some canceled favorites that won't be making it back on the air. So tell me: which of this season's canceled shows will you miss most?
Which of This Year's Canceled Shows Will You Miss Most?
USA Breaks Up With The Starter Wife
Uh-oh, Starter Wife fans — it looks like this is the end of the road for Molly Kagen. USA has decided not to renew Debra Messing's show for a second season.
When it aired as a miniseries in the Summer of 2007, The Starter Wife was an unquestioned success, garnering 10 Emmy nominations and getting as many as 5 million viewers (though it was closer to 3 million by the end).
Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money Not Picked Up
ABC has decided against ordering more episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, and Dirty Sexy Money, at least for now, writes The Hollywood Reporter. The story continues:
Actively avoiding the c-word, the network left the door open for ordering more episodes at a future date, though that is considered improbable. The trio are still on the schedule for next week.
Enemy and Lipstick are Gone; What's Next to Worry About?
Word slipped out late yesterday that NBC was axing both Lipstick Jungle and My Own Worst Enemy from its schedule, but there's some good news today: There are reports that both shows will at least get to air their remaining episodes in their current time slots. Lipstick will have 13 episodes and is wrapping production on them this week, while Enemy will end after nine episodes.
According to The Futon Critic, Friday Night Lights could take over the Lipstick slot in January, to which I can really only say "hooray!"
Which Recently Canceled Show Bums You Out Most?
Each year the network upfronts can be an exciting glimpse into what we can look forward to watching on TV come Fall. The sneak peeks at new shows are especially fun, and the world seems full of possibilities!
Of course, it's also bittersweet as some shows we had such high hopes for only a year ago and series that many have grown to love get the ax.
RIP Men in Trees
Granted, this news has probably been a long time in coming, but it's still a bummer: Men in Trees has been officially canceled after two years of life in Elmo, AK.
Of course, that's two years of airing on three different nights in numerous different time slots, with two long breaks — one when its first season came to an early end, another when ABC decided to save episodes of the show rather than air them during the writers' strike — in between. Not the easiest way to get a following, that's for sure.
Bad News for Big Shots — But Good for Private Practice?
Big Shots, one of those new shows that I wished would be better than it was, has been pulled from the ABC schedule, effective immediately. It's a curious decision given the writers' strike — the show had three finished episodes that could have aired, and you'd think any original programming these days would be better than repeats.
Not so at ABC, apparently; instead of Big Shots, the network will air repeats of Private Practice in the post-Grey's Anatomy time slot for the next three weeks.
Your "Traveler" Questions, Answered
Remember when the short-lived series "Traveler" ended with an episode that promised to answer all your questions — but then totally didn't? The series creator, David DiGilio, has fixed that with an extensive blog entry at TVGuide.com explaining everything that would have happened in seasons two and three of "Traveler" — and beyond. Here are some of the biggest revelations:
- The quest to uncover the Fourth Branch — the organization that seemed to be calling the shots toward the end of the series — would have been the major plot of season two.
Bad Idea of the Week: Canceling the Canceled Shows
Here's the story of this TV season in a nutshell: Networks put on new shows. Networks cancel new shows. Networks promise to bring back the canceled shows so dedicated fans can get some bit of closure.
