One of my favourite new shows of the fall season is Pushing Daisies, so I was pleased to see that Pushing Daisies got a full season order. This whimisical, fun, and wickedly sly show is one to watch - the whole production really come together to make a wonderful product. Hopefully we'll see full orders for my other favourite new shows, Dirty Sexy Money and Chuck. I've liked Reaper, but it's been a bit forumulaic in the first 5 episodes. Hopefully they shake things up before long, as the cast are great, especially Ray Wise as The Devil. I still have to catch up on Life before I figure whether I'm sticking around.
"Viva Laughlin" wins 1st scripted cancelation of the season after two episodes and dismal ratings. Generally speaking, the networks have been slow to cancel new shows that didn't get immediate results. Speculation is this is due to a potential actors or writers strike in the new year making replacement shows hard to come by.
"Private Practice" picked up for a full season. ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff has been the highest-rated freshman series with 12.8 million viewers. CBS picked up "Big Bang Theory" for the season too.
"Gilmore Girls" creator's new show may be in trouble. Fox has cut down the number of episodes of midseason show "The Return of Jezebel James" from 13 to seven episodes.
And Scrubs starts it's final season tommorow night on NBC. 18 episodes until the end, with signs that J.D. (Zach Braff) will finally grow the hell up. That was one of my complaints about this favourite of mine: J.D. has been narrating about all these things he's been learning every episode, but he still makes juvenile decisions and exhibits irrational behaviour. With a set deadline to wrap things up, I have faith that the show will end on a strong note.
Update: Another show I'm enjoying this year got picked up: the newsroom comedy"Back to You" earned a full season - Fox will air a grand total of 24 episodes this season. It won't take you anyplace weird, but it's fun in a "traditional sitcom" type of way.
