Casualties and Winners of the 2005 Fall TV Season

[Talon Karrde]

Yes, there are already casualties of the Fall 2005 season. The following is from www.imdb.com:


"New Season Hits & Misses

What do Supernatural, Commander in Chief, and My Name Is Earl all have in common? Well, besides all being on the same night (Tuesday) at the same time (9/8pm C), they've all been picked up for a full season, proving you don't have to be a timeslot bully to be a winner -- though Commander in Chief is the only new show to consistently crack the top ten. As we settle into the season, some shows have been given the green light, a handful have already been axed (Head Cases, we hardly knew ye), and still more await the fickle finger of fate to find out whether they'll last through the month, much less the whole television year. Here are the shows we have definite word on for 2005-2006:


Picked Up: Bones (Fox), Commander in Chief (ABC), Criminal Minds (CBS), Everybody Hates Chris (UPN), Ghost Whisperer (CBS), How I Met Your Mother (CBS), My Name Is Earl (NBC), Prison Break (Fox), Supernatural (WB), The War at Home (Fox)


Canceled: Head Cases (Fox), Inconceivable (NBC), Just Legal (WB), Sex, Love and Secrets (UPN)"

Supernatural is just an awesome show. I think they have come up with a really cool concept. I like how they wander from town to town. There is so much that can be done that way. New locations. Things never really get boring.

Bones. I like the characters, but the show gets slow sometimes. I also don't know how they will continue to keep it interesting for future seasons.

Prison Break also got a full season pickup, which is great, because I love that show. I can't see them going beyond two season with the show, but that's ok. This show has me hooked each and every week.

How I Met Your Mother is also a hot show. Doogie Howser makes me laugh so much. It's like they took his character from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle and morphed it for this show. He makes me laugh. Alison Hannigan is great on the show and she is from Buffy. She definitely knows how to do comedy. I also like the show's concept since right now, I am ready for a commitment form the women I am seeing.

My Name is Earl is just the funniest and cruelest show on television. It also makes me laugh, because at the same time, it is sensitive. The spanish girl on the show is friggin hot, too. Got a weakness for hot Latin women. It is just a perfect show, because it is so different from anything on television.

I am loving the new Nightstalker series. Gabrielle Union is hot, but like SUpernatural, I enjoy all the different supernatural elements he investigates. The characters are very likable and that is what makes a good show

Everybody Hates Chris is an awesome show. It makes me laugh. So many bad things happen to this kid, but there is an underlying sense of warmth from the family. It's like you can tell the family loves one another and will always come together in times of need. I like that aspect alot.

The other old series are doing well. Smallville just got James Marsters on the show, so that is awesome. Nice to see Spike again. Alias is weird as always. I never know where the hell they are going with that show. Lost keeps getting better even when you think they can't. OC is off to a slow start this year, but it looks to be picking up a bit. This year, it feels really good to be a fan of television.

Martha Stewart's Apprentice just hit the bye-bye list.

From IMdB.com:

"Martha Stewart's version of hit reality TV show The Apprentice will not be commissioned for a second series by US TV network NBC. The Apprentice: Martha Stewart failed to match the popularity of the original show fronted by tycoon Donald Trump, and NBC executives insist they only ever viewed it as a one season special. Stewart, who spent five months behind bars this year after being convicted of insider trading, has drawn in an average of 6.8 million American viewers - but her show will not return on NBC after its December 21 finale."
