That all makes a pretty good argument. I guess it depends on whether or not a lot of Kathy Reichs fans tune in. The books are pretty popular so you never know, that alone could keep it going for a while or at least give it a decent shot for a while.

I say Reunion could hardley make it through the First Episode.:shrug:

Ive seen the pilot episode of Killer Instinct, it's horrible. Can't see that lasting

Reunion I think is beyond awful, but it had solid ratings for its pilot episode and hits its target demographic, thus, it will easily stick around much longer than it has any right to.

My Name Is Earl was enjoyable and I predict will have a strong and loyal following. I wasn't a huge fan of the pilot, but they've got a good cast, and endless story possibilities. I'm not sure how large the audience will be, but it will certainly stick around longer than others.

Those who mentioned Kitchen Confidential and Threshold are way off base. They're two of the premiere pilot's this season. Everything just works with them. Great casts too.

The Bones pilot was "meh". Ratings will be average, but decent enough for Fox to keep it around.

Ghost Whisperer has JLH, and that alone will keep it around longer than those listed below.

As a few have mentioned, The War At Home, Just Legal, Night Stalker and Killer Instinct (which was retooled, had it's name changed, is on Fox etc.) all have pretty atrocious pilot episodes. My vote easily goes to one of them (Killer being the odds on favorite). Hopefully, none will last very long.

After watching Head Cases tonight, and seeing it stacked up against a tough schedule (E-Ring, Criminal Minds, Lost, Veronica Mars, Related - 3 new shows, but they look interesting), I'm guessing it is going to be the first show canned this season.

You guys saying My Name Is Earl are idiots. NBC has a shitload of money invested in it, and have publicly stated that it'll be kind of like a Seinfeld deal (ran for 3 seasons, blew up in 4th after slowly gaining audience).

There's no way it'll even be cancelled before the season's up. MAYBE after it's over, but it's not like NBC really has anything else to air nowadays.

Nothing to air is never a problem. Every netowrk is making cheap reality garbage that half the country undoubtedly will watch. A few seasons ago I'm sure networks would keep shows on because they had nothing else, but with the wave that is reality crap that is cheap and makes money, no network is hurting for shit to throw against the wall and checking what sticks.

The top competition right now are two Fox shows - The War at Home and Head Cases.

Head Cases will be gone pretty quick, but The War at Home has the look of a pilot that was never supposed to fly. As if everyone did it to pick up a quick check and were suprised when Fox greenlit it.

Ghost Whisperer looks bad. But JLH in HD is good for at least a half season. And it looks like the producers have already figured out how to have her in a nightie or wet shirt at least twice an ep. But if it lasts a full season, it'll need a huge revamp.
D

Most would say her, ugh, revamps are already huge.

From what? From the looks of this thread it is the JLH show.

I vote for Head Cases as well...

Congratulations Head Cases!

:toast:

LoL was it canceled?:beer:

There was another show I thought may get canceled really early. Just Legal. -ohbfrank-

I would've thought Surface would kick the bucket first.

What's your explanation for Lost? ;)

Reunion

Well, we have our winner.

I googled it and cant see definitive word that it is canceled. Just a lot of speculation that it'll be the first.

K found the thread, but even in there I didn't see any link to anything definite. http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=439006

Someone at TWOP said their friend works on the show and they were told yesterday as of 5pm they were done. The show has also been removed from Fox's web-site.

And here is the article at the futon critic:

:LoL: Guess my choice was right. :beer:

AHHHH!!! I feel robbed.. we should have gone with least amount of eps shown before getting canned and not just a pure time line.. This is like we bet on the first fighter to get knocked out and what round, only to have "Head Cases" trip on it way to the ring..... and die..

Ah d'oh..

Yeah, in retrospect it seems obvious it would have to be a Fox show, since they started their season a few weeks before everyone else. And they are, after all, Fox.
