Hollywood Stock Exchange players: You can now play TVStocks
An intro for those of you new to the Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX), it is a free website where you can "buy" shares (with fake "Hollywood dollars") of your favorite actors and their new movies. Watch their values rise or fall based on their success. Prices soar with a blockbuster opening at the box office and plummet with a bomb no one went to see.
I've played HSX for about 8 years, and this year they are doing something new: TVStocks.
TVStocks IPOing this week:
FOX TVStocks
CBS TVStocks
CW TVStocks
I thought these TVStocks would be a fun way to get the TV Forum crown involved in HSX, and discuss which of these programs are most likely candidates to get canceled versus get full-season pickups. Any initial thoughts?

TVStocks™ are issued for this season's new TV series. The price of each TVStock is based on the number of original episode aired by the end of the TV season on May 31, 2008. Buy the TVStocks of shows you think will get picked up, short the TVStocks of shows you think will get cancelled. Each TVStock will cash out when its show's last original episode has aired for the 2007-08 season.
