All the shows I like are going to cancelled, aren't they?

If you like Chuck, Fringe, and Dollhouse -- probably.

Otherwise, no idea.

Finally decided that, although it still has a lot of problems, yes, I like Dollhouse after the last ep. Of course just as soon as I get actually invested in the story, it turns out Joss Whedon's giving interviews on how he's resigned to it not being renewed.

"Chuck," despite always having about 20 plot holes (or plot craters, sometimes) per episode still remains my favorite thing on tv by FAR. It's always just an absolute, grin-inducing pleasure to watch, its end-of-the-season ramp-ups are incredibly compelling, and it does that thing that SO FEW shows know how to do--have a planned, directed arc for each season, that allows the show to always feel like it's really GOING somewhere, and have the next season's arc build off the previous season's one, so we move forward in character development rather than treading ground. Annnnnd even though it's like the only show to make me think "yes! You are using the season format as it should be used!" apparently it's more likely that it'll get cancelled than not.

I've been watching Chuck since I've been in Rhode Island and it has reignited my guilty pleasure in campy, silly, unpretentious fluff TV. I am turning into a "normal" again, oh no.

I will be very very upset if "Chuck" doesn't get renewed. :-( Even more so after reading that the creator says he's going to end this season on a game-changing "what-happens-next?" bang as he always intended the season to end, without making any hasty attempts to wrap up the story just-in-case.

I'm sad about this not because I'll be left hanging, but because it is precisely what I approve of--which just shows again how well this show works for me. I used to like "Pushing Daisies" but a) the characters stopped evolving, b) it wasn't following through on any previously dropped plot threads, b) now I hear the last 3 unaired episodes will be aired over the summer, and Bryan Fuller attempted to do some quick patch-up work on them to give them some sort of ending. I don't even care if I see those episodes, I hate that sort of thing: if that's not where the ending was meant to go, don't shove it in there and ruin everything! Leave the story some dignity, even if that means it's unfinished.

"Chuck" seems to get me on this. Sigh. "Chuck" and I click. We're meant to be together! But no, evil networks will drive our love apart.

@scurvyman Yeah, people are talking about its cancellation like it's a done deal.

@A Better Version I love campy, silly fluff tv! Because it's actually extremely hard to do campy, silly, fluff tv RIGHT, so that it's entertaining but not shameful.

Also, eh, Chuck is kinda known for resolving "big" plot points in the very next episode (partially due to the whole cancellation thing). And they're certainly not throwing the Buy More plots away--tonight's episode did a game-changing development on that too, that's not going to get dropped. I certainly don't see the completely changing anything on a whim--the creator said that they'd plotted it out through season 3 at the conception of season 2, so it's more like direction changes that play into an overall storyline.

@A Better Version - KINGS' days are numbered, sadly. i read last week that they're bumping it to Sat. nights, which is essentially a series television dead zone

yeah, the whole reason i'm taken with it is that it feels unique and unlike most anything that's on tv, certainly that's on network television. it reminds me a bit of ROME, which i loved and also wasn't received all that well.

@A Better Version Quiet you!
@0thoughtcrimespree0 I like it enough to watch it again. It's better than Kath and Kim. That show was painful to watch.

they aren't talking about cancelling fringe are they? its in the OLD house spot, thats a great spot for ratings, and its a pretty interesting show. plus i think they give jj abhrams pretty much anything he wants.

I heart Fringe. Crazy-ass John Noble FTW!

I fucking love fringe.

@twigby - my old roommate was all pissy becasue he thought Fringe was getting cancelled, and I'm like "wait. . . why do you think that?"

Fox moved it to Friday night, didn't they??

. . .okay, I don't see why people think it's gonna get cancelled then.

what night is Dollhouse on?
