ABC announces what’s in and out
ABC announced their prime-time lineup today...Returning shows are: Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, October Road, Notes from the Underbelly, Men In Trees, Brothers & Sisters, Wife Swap, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Desperate Housewives, The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars, Lost, Supernanny, America’s Funniest Home Videos, Boston Legal, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, 20/20, Primetime. I watch Boston Legal and Desperate Housewives because Donna does and I’m in the room...I never realized how little ABC contributes to my current viewing. Other than Lost...which I’m reluctantly staying with because I know it has an end game now.
Cancelled: The Nine, Six Degrees, The Great American Dream Vote, Show Me The Money, Day Break, In Case of Emergency, The Knights of Prosperity, What About Brian, George Lopez, According to Jim. Yeah...I watched The Nine, Knights, and I.C.E. Great. Thanks, ABC. OK, in fairness, I.C.E. was a bit of a clunker most of the time, but Kelly Hu and Greg Germann were great. Show Me The Money was perhaps the worst Shatner vehicle since his album, but we watched it anyway. Not sad to see it go, though.
New shows: Big Shots, Carpoolers, Cashmere Mafia, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money, Cavemen, Miss/Guided, Private Practice, Pushing Daisies, Sam I Am, Women’s Murder Club, Oprah’s Big Give. The canceled Knights of Prosperity which was actually getting good, and picked up a frigging sitcom based on the Geico cavemen commercials. DOUBLE-YOU TEE EFF?

I actually heard that the episodes of Daybreak that never aired were pretty good, and wrap up the story well. In fact, I think it was Treacher that pointed it out. They’re available online, I may check them out after the upcoming bout of season finales and I’m out of things to watch.

My roommate hates those caveman commercials. He growls “As if we needed to CREATE another minority looking to be offended by everything!”
I, personally, take them more in the tone of mocking the whole “getting offended” sorts, because not only is the one caveman generally shown to be an ass, but they’re FREAKING CAVEMEN.
Why they think they can support an entire series, I dunno, but I might watch the pilot episode for giggles.

A short clip that proves that the exec who approved this series should be not only fired, tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on a rail, but also forced to apologize to those of us who actually thought the Geico commercials are kind of clever…

I ask forgiveness in advance from any of you who go to that clip, because you WILL want those 38 seconds back, and I can’t help you…

Remember when ABC was tha Shit? MNF was the only thing holding the ratings and they dumped that on ESPN, can’t say I have watched a game since. In all honesty I don’t watch Football much anymore anyway. Maybe if the gut the Hip hop shit and keep up the current trend of bitch slapping the idiots I might tune back in.
I must say I have never watched any of those shows, with AMF being the occasional acception. Buh bye ABC.
