I actually quite enjoy B&S, but this season hasn't been their best. I will miss it. Hope it gets a good finale.

I liked the series finale that aired last week. Even though the writing started going downhill, I will miss the show.

Haven't watched V since the first Ep, but have been keeping an eye on the DVDs. Is it worth picking up now and does it have a satisfying ending at all?)

That seems like it should be one of those sold-directly-into syndication shows.

The Tim Allen show is called Last Man Standing.

No. Well there is one fantastic scene in the final episode that brought great joy to all , but you can probably find that online somewhere.

Good, I'm glad Minka Kelly won't be irritating the shit out of me on Parenthood anymore.

Hmmm, Season 1 is good and ends on a finale that is open for interpretation. Alot of people in this forum weren't fond of season 2. Although I thought it was an entertaining season. Unfortunately season 2 ends on a cliffhanger.

Crazy week for cancellation news. I wonder when CBS is going to make their announcements.

Re: ABC cancels "V" and Brothers and Sisters; New Series Pickup News

Man, 2010/2011 is the year of the bloodbath for television shows. So many shows were cancelled throughout the year as well. I'd be very curious to see the number of shows introduced, the numbers cancelled throughout, the number cancelled at the end and those left.

I await your bad news and inevitable lecture of the obvious you're going to give me on how tv ratings work.

Happy Endings was renewed despite shaky ratings at 10 - 11. So far it is the one official survivor of the Couples sitcoms this year (Perfect Couples and Traffic Light are gone, Mad Love is on the bubble.)

Well every other actor was jumping ship like rats - Calista Flockhart, Patricia Wettig, Balthazar Getty, Rob Lowe, Emily VanCamp... I even heard Sally Field was about to go too. It was going to be down to Sister, Two Brothers and Gay Uncle by next season...
