If you're a man, I give you serious props for typing, rereading, and posting that sentence without immediately putting a shotgun in your mouth.

I had the same thought reading this from the Friday Night Lights thread:

The strike has brought us to this.

P.S. And no matter what anyone says, I'll go with the actual dictionary definition of the word, and 24 has been cancelled for the 2007-08 TV season.

Are you really not aware that industries have their own definitions for certain terms? You can call it cancelled if you want but that is not correct for the television industry and only results in confusion for people using the term properly.

This is like the section of SAT's where you are supposed to choose the BEST word. Other words might be right, but they are not the best word. Hiatus is the best word. Even from your precious Dictionary.com:

hi·a·tus [hahy-ey-tuhs] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun, plural -tus·es, -tus.
1. a break or interruption in the continuity of a work, series, action, etc.
2. a missing part; gap or lacuna: Scholars attempted to account for the hiatus in the medieval manuscript.
3. any gap or opening.
4. Grammar, Prosody. the coming together, with or without break or slight pause, and without contraction, of two vowels in successive words or syllables, as in see easily.
5. Anatomy. a natural fissure, cleft, or foramen in a bone or other structure.

[Origin: 1555–65; < L hiātus opening, gap, equiv. to hiā(re) to gape, open + -tus suffix of v. action]

This discussion reminds me of when the Trio network showed all the unaired pilots under the moniker "Brillian But Cancelled". If the network never picked up the series in the first place how was it "cancelled"?

And I agree with most everyone here: a television show is only "cancelled" when there are no more seasons/episodes planned. Ending for the season, or delaying the start of the next season does not mean a show is cancelled. By that logic then "The Sopranos" was "cancelled" for most of the years it was on the air!

Hard to believe my tastes are so far off of the mainstream. I love Journeyman and Bionic Woman. Cancel Pushing Daisies instead. Hell, cancel Boston Legal over either of those.

Why do I get the sense that Knight-Rider 2008 is bound to be canceled by March?

That's jumping the gun a little bit. For now it's only been green lighted as a TV movie. If the ratings are good, NBC may okay a series.

STONE HIM !!!!

Bionic Woman was the big disappointment of the year. The writing was completely uninspired. It was getting better, but for the most part everything and everyone seemed unimportant. Reminded me a lot of the crappy sci-fi movie series "Chameleon", although Bobbie Phillips is much much hotter.

Hellion! (collecting two points, ah, two flats, and a packet of gravel.)

Ding-ding-ding! Should have been so much better. JJ Abrams would have known how to helm this had he not moved on to feature films. I guess Battlestar Gallactica may have been a fluke based on the staff this show stole from there.

Bionic Starbuck was actually the best thing about the show. The multiple change in directions, the lack of focus, the inexplicable plots... and I really wanted to like this show after the pilot, too. But when my wife is screaming about the gaping plotholes, there's a problem. Which I guess may lie with the BSG behind the scenes staff, but who knows?

It doesn't help that they must've known this show would be compared to Alias , and it doesn't even come close (at least not to the first few seasons)
