ABC announced yesterday that it has shelved their new show The Nine and will air the remaining episodes later in the season.
WHAT?!? I am really pissed off because I got hooked on this show. Not only was it a good show (I mean, Scott Wolf and Tim Daly on the same show, come on!) but it's a show that reveals a little info each week. So if it gets canceled, the viewers will never know the full story. Think of it as Lost getting canceled after the first season and you not finding out why those people ended up on that island. No explanation - just pulled off the air. I don't get it.
I think it was the timeslot - Wednesdays at 10pm is not a good place to be. The Nine needs an 8pm slot either on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm sure that new gameshow Show Me The Money can survive in the 10pm timeslot on Wednesday. They freaking gave that gameshow the 8pm timeslot! Get it together, ABC! It's not like the show is crappy...the Nine got great reviews in various magazines and was billed as one of the top 10 best new shows this season in Entertainment Weekly. So give it a chance....I'm pleading with you. Yes, I know you thought that Lost would be a great lead-in but still...10pm is a late hour for some people and after watching Lost, I don't think many people have the heart to watch another similar show right after. Too much thinking at a late hour can cause migranes. LOL!
Ok, I am rambling...this is the second show I have lost this season. I need some coffee and some chocolate. TTFN~

Dare I say it?
This Fall season has thrown me for a loop! Non-reality TV is actually better than reality TV. There...I said it. Now I await the reality TV show gods' angry wrath. :)
Survivor and Amazing Race this season have been okay so far. Survivor has gotten better as of last week with the green bottle twist, where the losing tribe had to read the note in the bottle at Tribal Council, which told them they had to vote a second person out. That was followed with this week's merge. But I am still not at that level of excitement that I usually am where I yell at the contestants on the TV and throw shoes. Oh well, it can't always be great.
Amazing Race is "blech" this season. The winners are predictable and vomit-worthy...I'm sorry but the Blondes make me want to throw up. Nothing personal, girls - this is just TV and you both ain't interesting or watch-worthy.
However, the networks are bursting with great shows this season, new and returning. There's so many shows that I can't keep up. You have Ugly Betty, The Nine, Day Break, Grey's Anatomy, and Six Degrees on ABC. NBC has Heroes, which is hands down, one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. Fox has Prison Break and of course, my fave show 24, which returns in January. One of my girlfriends swears by Jericho, a new CBS show airing on Wednesday nights. She and her boyfriend tune in religiously every week. My other girlfriend in Toronto loves "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS. It's insane - have we finally gotten to a point on TV where reality TV is going away?
I don't know if I am ready to live without Survivor, Project Runway, Top Chef or Amazing Race but maybe I need to start preparing myself. *sigh*
Anyway, if you haven't checked out any of the shows above, it's not too late. Most networks offer past episodes for download (for FREE). Abc.com offers the last 4 episodes aired and instead of downloading, you can watch the episode of your choice within an internal player on their site. So get to watching, people! :)
