Is Your Favorite Show in Danger? by Mickey O'Connor and Adam Bryant

I read this one from Yahoo News update which you can see when clicking on this Link. Its kind of sad to watch some good favorite shows get cut off but its the hard truth but everyone has got to make rooms for everything especially business. If they have to cancel some of the show, I'll miss a lot of shows. Anyways, not to make you go to whatever page, you can read it here. Credit goes to Yahoo for this one.

 

Is Your Favorite Show in Danger?

By Mickey O'Connor and Adam Bryant

 

The new fall TV season means plenty of promising new shows — and canceling struggling old ones to make room. As the networks roll out new programs this month at their upfront presentations to advertisers, here's our list of 13 at-risk shows. Many have posted significant ratings declines. Others are expensive to produce, getting old, or just aren't performing as well as their time-slot rivals. Read about the issues each faces and then weigh in on which shows deserve to stay — or go.

 

Caprica (Fridays at 9/8c, Syfy)

 

Issues: The heir apparent to Battlestar Galactica hasn't performed at nearly the same level, averaging just 1.1 million viewers over its first nine episodes. (The second half of its first season will air some time later this year). More bad news: Stargate Universe: SGU, its closest relative at the network in subject matter and ratings, has already been renewed for a second season.

 

Cold Case (Sundays at 10/9c, CBS)

 

Issues: Although the show pulls in a fairly steady average of 10 million viewers each week, it consistently underperforms in the desirable 18-to-49-year-olds demo. High production costs and the fact that CBS almost canceled it last year make another renewal unlikely.

 

 

FlashForward (Thursdays at 8/7c, ABC)

Issues: The show's intriguing concept has failed to deliver much in the way of genuine revelation, which may account for the show's plummeting ratings. Its most recent episode only attracted 5.1 million viewers. The producers' room has a revolving door on it lately, a sign that the show might not be around much longer.

 

Heroes (Mondays at 9/8c, NBC)

 

Issues: Season 4 saw this one-time ratings powerhouse hit new lows nearly every week, averaging between 4 million and 5 million viewers an episode. The show is a moneymaker on DVD and in international markets, however, so there's buzz about a truncated fifth season to close the series out.

 

 

Human Target (Wednesdays, 8/7c, Fox)

 

Issues: Male viewers haven't flocked to this graphic novel-based action series in the numbers Fox hoped for, but the show is still winning its time slot, albeit one of the week's least competitive.

 

Life Unexpected (Mondays at 8/7c, CW)

 

Issues: Critics love the show, but viewers are more lukewarm. The CW has announced several early renewals (90210, Gossip Girl, Smallville, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries), but the list conspicuously did not include this midseason addition.

 

 

Medium (Fridays at 9/8c, CBS)

 

Issues: The former NBC drama has been a nice fit in CBS' Friday lineup and consistently wins its timeslot, but after six years, Medium has become pretty expensive. It's not in as dire a position as Cold Case, however, and its survival will likely depend on the strength of CBS' development slate.

 

Melrose Place (Wednesdays at 9/8c, CW)

 

Issues: The network ordered up a creative change in direction in the fall that included casting changes, a new showrunner and more Heather Locklear. Thus far, the ratings haven't improved, and it was also left off CW's early-renewals list. Jessica Lucas recently signed on to the NBC pilot Friends with Benefits, which certainly isn't a good sign.

 

Mercy (Wednesdays at 8/7c, NBC)

 

Issues: Though it does well with a female demo, it's not a young female demo. Its last new episode attracted 5.5 million viewers, which wasn't enough to win its time slot. A three-week hiatus this month may have hurt its momentum.

 

 

Numb3rs (Fridays at 10/9c, CBS)

 

Issues: The show's episode order was chopped drastically to make way for newcomer Miami Medical. Creatively, the show's season finale felt like a good-bye, and series star David Krumholtz has already landed a gig in Ron Howard's IRS comedy pilot at Fox.

 

One Tree Hill (Mondays at 8/7c, CW)

 

Issues: After losing a chunk of its cast this season, the series is showing serious signs of age. However, its average audience of 2.3 million viewers is more devoted than those of other CW shows (including Melrose Place and 90210.)

 

Trauma (Mondays at 9/8c, NBC)

Issues: This expensive, action-heavy drama has kind of already been canceled once. In October, NBC announced that it would not be ordering any new episodes past the original 13. When the network's late-night schedule imploded, Jay Leno's departure from prime time freed up real estate, and NBC ordered seven more episodes. With its ratings on the decline this spring after a three-month hiatus, the order was cut back to 18; the final episode aired April 26. And that's probably final.

 

V (Tuesdays at 10/9c, ABC)

 

Issues: The show's Olympics-mandated hiatus seems to have hurt its momentum. Though critics like the show's new episodes, it's getting killed by The Good Wife in its timeslot. Lately, NBC's Parenthood is beating it as well.

Fringe

I am so in love with the series Fringe which I just started watching a couple of weeks ago. I live the series and how it was deliberately explained making it a “so good to be true” series. My comparison for this series is more likely the modern and updated X-files with more action blended on it. If X-files deals about some mystery and deaths on secret stuffs, Fringe handles the security and terrorism of the secret stuffs that X-files are protecting. So that is why I am thinking this could have been related to the old series show.

Currently they are on Season 2 which shows a more descriptive explanation which answers the fragmented questions that were done on Season 1.

Glee

I had bumped and got addicted to this new series entitled Glee, launched by FOX which had his pilot episode last May and continued its series this last September. This series shows the different life of people being able to meet in one common things they enjoy and loved the most which is singing, in spite of the negative things happening around in their life and some objection preventing them to do things they wanted to do. And its comical in a sense, it's really funny.

Glee in the dictionary means extreme happiness, but with the series using this word, it shows the opposite thing. Glee Club has been a room for some social outcast in their school but they were still able to find ways to put the word "glee" in the things they love to do. And the good thing is it shows some of the most powerful and fresh voices of the cast. Performances are awesome and great, somewhat similar with High School Musical but it appeals as different since the idea and humor of the film is very modern. The movie actually has few things to ponder, a lot of things to laugh, things to love and dreams to relive with. I really commend this film and would recommend it to be a must watch.

Here are the main cast of Glee, of course made possible by my bestfriend Wikipedia:

Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) is McKinley High's Spanish teacher who becomes director of the Glee Club, hoping to restore it to its former glory. [read more]

Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) is head coach of the cheer leading squad or "Cheerios", and the Glee Club's "arch-nemesis". [read more]

Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) is the school's mysophobic guidance counselor who has romantic feelings for Will. [read more]

Terri Schuester (Jessalyn Gilsig) is Will's demanding wife of five years. [read more]

Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) is the talented star of the glee club who is bullied by the Cheerios and football players. Rachel is an overly ambitious and assertive sophomore, with dreams of making it to Broadway. [read more]

Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) is star quarterback of the school's football team who risks alienation by his friends to join the Glee Club. Monteith was attracted to the fact that Finn "isn't just a dumb jock", but instead "walks a fine line between following his dreams and balancing what other people expect of him. [read more]

Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) is a fashion conscious, hot-tempered diva who refuses to sing back-up. In the pilot episode Mercedes auditions for the glee club by performing "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. [read more]

Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) is a flamboyant singer who is bullied by the football team. In the pilot episode, Kurt auditions for the glee club by performing Mr. Cellophane from the musical Chicago. [read more]

Noah "Puck" Puckerman (Mark Salling) is a friend of Finn's on the football team who disapproves of Finn joining the Glee Club. Salling found it challenging to make the character "more than two-dimensional so he can be likable at the same time", which necessitated "find[ing] the balance between arrogance and cocky and sensible and likable". [read more]

Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) is Finn's girlfriend who is head of the Cheerios and president of the celibacy club. She is described by Agron as Rachel's enemy, and "terrible, the meanest girl". [read more]

Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz) is a Gothic student with a speech impediment. She auditions for the Glee Club in the pilot episode singing "I Kissed a Girl". [read more]

Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale) is an electric guitar player and paraplegic manual wheelchair user. McHale describes Artie as: "what you would call a nerd. He loves Glee Club with all his heart and uses it to escape the big bad world that high school can be just like the other members of Glee Club." [read more]


You can watch Glee full episodes in FOX or some free streaming website such as Tvshow7, etc.

Heroes Season 4, Volume 5, Redemption

On May 4, 2009, NBC did was able to confirm that their going to release the fourth season which contains the volume five, Redemption. And had just recently released premiere on September 21, 2009 which aired the 60th episode of this TV show entitled Orientation. Its a 2 hour premiere that shows where the story started showing them of our previous Heroes starting their own separate new lives. Too glad, that wikipedia.org is too updated about the season episodes and their summary plot which are very enticing to read and honestly, I am dying to watch those.

Currently they are already 3 episodes release including the first pilot episode for this volume which is Orientation, Jump Push and Fall, Ink and Acceptance. Next off which are not had been aired are Hysterical Blindness, Tabula Rasa, Strange Attractors and Once Upon a Time in Texas. I've been reading already the shows plot and trust me, you'll be wanting to watch the movie as well. Well I am going to watch mine in my favorite website which airs the TV show as well. See you and have a happy Heroes experience.
