    House

    Yeah, I definitely like House a lot this year. For me, it has actually been getting better year after year. I remember my wife "making" me watch it at first.

    Aging Shows, Management Shakeup Give ABC Cause for Concern

    I think the idea that the over-the-air broadcast network is the be-all and end-all of a broadcasting company is an old, discredited principle. Disney and NBCU, especially, realize that they have to pay as much attention to cable as over-the-air. Indeed, over-the-air, by its very nature, has...

    No Ordinary Family

    While it's not the greatest show ever, it is actually a good show for my family. I'm utterly bewildered by the "hatred"... the show isn't consequential enough to be hated, imho. :confused:

    Yahoo Lists Shows likely to be cancelled

    It's a "good" list, from my family's POV. We decided against all of these programs this fall (and also had decided against Lone Star), with the exception of The Undercovers, and quite frankly, we won't be too disappointed about that show, either.

    If you pay very close attention during the first episode of the series, you can clearly see "Maritime Museum of the Atlantic" painted on the side of one of the buildings. That places the filming in Halifax.

    Fall Season: any new shows worth watching?

    Pfft. Sorry that a little reality upset you so much that you felt the need to reply as you did. :tux:

    Fall Season: any new shows worth watching?

    I suppose the issue is whether they're running a business or programming their DVR. If they're running a business, then yes, after two episodes, they can definitely tell a lot. While there are a few exceptions, generally, programs in the past that have done this poorly, when given a chance for...

    Last year. It evidently wasn't profitable enough to try as hard this year, and I suspect that the failure of shows like The Bridge shows that trying even as much as they tried this summer won't be justifiable next summer.

    Covert Affairs

    Covert Affairs has been renewed for a second season. I'm really happy to have learned this. This is clearly the best new series of the summer, in our family. It's bewildering how the broadcast networks let this one get-away to cable... it's fantastic.

    I'm not sure if I've mentioned in this forum before or not, but I really do prefer the direction that the Syfy channel has taken. My family feels its offerings these days are far better than their offerings in the past. Don't get me wrong... they had some good shows in the past (Battlestar...

    USA Continues Ratings Roll

    I think it is interesting that they're putting the back-end of the season for both Burn Notice and Psych into the Fall, instead of holding them until Winter, as they have done in the past. They are waiting until late-Fall, though; probably aiming to capture some eyes after people give up on...

    Yes, good point. The other shows you mentioned are among the favorites in our home. I think it often comes down to what audience the network is aiming to attract. They're clearly aiming for my wife and I, because they keep putting out shows that appeal directly to us. By extension, "good"...

    Strange. This past episode confirmed for me that the show is actually worth keeping. It is reliable entertainment.

    Covert Affairs

    That would make a lot of sense, economics-wise, and there is a long-standing tradition in Hollywood of reusing sets and costumes and such. It is relatively rare, though, to have two series share the same often-used sets while both are in production, but it would be a great idea, in this case...
