Love Inc. That title alone can't possibly succeed.

Rodney isn't a new show. At least I don't think it is.

My name is Earl will last 3 episodes.

Maybe another question would be:

Which show will be cancelled and then released on dvd a year later with all of the unaired episodes that the fans demanded!!!

I bet Reunion and The Night Stalker get hammered in the ratings and won't last long.

when it comes to Fox shouldn't the question be something like "what new shows won't be cancelled?" or "what new shows will last longer than 4 eps?"

Reunion is this years Jack & Bobby. I have it on my PVR list.

My guess it will be sitcom since they are episodic rather than serial.

Here is a decent schedule:

My Name Is Earl ... just because it is new on NBC ;-P

I remember we had a thread like this last year. Overwhelmingly, the top choices for cancellation were "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives."

It's getting universally good reviews. That doesn't mean it'll get good ratings, but it's a start.

It's lead-in is "The Office" which didn't get great ratings last season, BUT with Steve Carrell being much more of a "known" actor now may see good numbers.

I don't think Supernatural is long for this Earth.

Inconceivable

Who wants to spend their Friday nights watching infertile couples trying to have babies?

Night Stalker.

Alias won't be much of a lead for itin for it, we saw what happened when to the ratings when a new episode had a repeat of Lost in front of it, and it's up against CSI & Trump.

Reunion atleast has the OC

I'm going to go with Ghost Wisperer.

The first Lost clone to go will be Surface.

I didn't do so hot last year, my bet was Father of the Pride, which lasted way longer than it should have.

Ghost Whisperer makes me either laugh uncontrollably or wince depending on how many times CBS plays it during BB6. I would think that it would be the first casuality, not that the rest of new CBS shows look much better.

Close to Home is the one that makes me wince or laugh uncontrollably when I see commercials for it. Pure crap. That with Ghost Whisperer I two I hope die early deaths.

And as for My Name Is Earl... I think it looks good, and has a great niche spot on the line up, but that is also a reason I think it will be gone soon. It's fresh, original, and unique. Yeah, it won't last, especially if it turns out to be good and funny.

Well, I've actually said to other people that either this is one of the worst shows put on television or the producers hired the worst people to edit their previews. Every commercial I've seen for this makes the show look completely unwatchable and unfunny.
