I am the Anti-Nielsen

From when the new TV season began back in the fall up until now these are the only new shows I started watching:

Smith
Day Break
Drive
Raines

What do they have in common? Why, they've all been axed. Plus they're the only network dramas I've watched all year other than Lost. Yes siree, if you want to determine what new one-hour shows are sure to flop just step on up and ask me if I like them. If the answer is yes then kiss them goodbye.

I think mine were

Smith
6 Degrees
Studio 60
October Road (which I really like but don't have high hopes for)


Fortunately Friday Night Lights and Heroes have made up for those.

OK, I've got my DVR all set so I can go forth and destroy more shows. Please keep your requests coming and I'll do my best to keep the ax falling.

Please be sure to DVR the Amazing Race, Survivor, and any such incarnation of goofy team-driven "reality" tv.

And I echo brainee....stay the heck away from Heroes!

So was I because for some reason I couldn't make myself stop watching. It wasn't good yet it kept me coming back.
