2009-2010 Broadcast Season

IN: Dollhouse(!), Bones, Chuck, Scrubs, Castle, Better Off Ted, Big Bang Theory, Fringe, House, Heroes, The Office, Smallville, Supernatural. UPDATE: How I Met Your Mother and Gary Unmarried.

OUT: Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, The Unusuals, Life. UPDATE: Cupid and maybe Reaper (see comment. I'm already writing a letter. Plus it's good to know somebody I didn't specifically tell to read my blog reads my blog.)

PROGNOSIS: Even though CBS and The CW haven't released their upfronts yet, I am very hopeful. I only need Gary Unmarried and How I Met Your Mother from CBS and Reaper from the CW an I will have a good year. I'm sad about Terminator, Life and the Unusuals but Dollhouse and Castle's renewal make me infinitely happy. That said there are a few Pilots that I hope get picked up. Eva Adams looks great. It's about a womanizer who finally gets his when he is turned into a woman for some unknown reason. It's a good contender and hopefully it'll get made. NBC's Day One and ABC's Flash Forward (not a remake of Disney Channel's show from the early '90s starring Jewel Staite and Ben Foster) are both post-apocalyptic, which I love, and were ordered to series. So they year is off to a good start. I'll keep you posted. Man I'm such a TV nerd.

Best!

  1. So REAPER! ABC Studios is negotiating with local CW affiliates to run a third season on Sunday nights. Write your CW affiliate and say there's a fanbase in your area and it would be a ratings boost for them on Sunday nights! Look up your CW affiliate here: http://www.cwtv.com/stations. Also write to ABC Studios http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html?lid=ABCCOMGlobalFooter&lpos=CONTACT -- encouraging them to keep promoting the syndication of Reaper! International viewers, write your affiliates/networks too. Draft emails and other ideas at reaperdmv.com. Come on, folks! This is our chance!

    If you’re thinking that Tyler’s new show and Michele/Tara’s new contract at Fox mean the show isn’t coming back: Tyler says that Reaper has contractual priority and anyway will be a midseason show, and Tara told us that she and Michele would still be consultants if Reaper gets a third season. So, write!

    By the way there's no such thing as too much tv.

  2. You never specifically told me to read this. However, I'm not sure if that counts...
