The fall lineup is closer than you might think...

Fox for example, again will start all their series before the actual fall premiere week (which this year is the week of Sept. 18). They will start on August 21 with the season premiere of Prison Break, followed by the series premiere of Vanished. The two new sitcoms 'Til Death and Happy Hour debut on Thursdays on Sept. 7. Only two fall series will join the fall line-up after the official fall premiere week, they are The O.C. and Trading Spouses. Spouses will get its Friday birth on October 6 when the summer reality show Duets ends. While The O.C. will premiere after baseball ends I guess starting Thursday, November 2.

Series That Won't Be Returning for the 2006 - 2007 Season

Arrested Development (FOX),



Damn shame!

I will remain in mourning for Everwood for years to come. I'm not happy about Invasion, Threshold, Surface, Arrested Development, Book of Daniel, or Love Monkey, either.

I think if Fox hadn't messed around with Arrested so much, the creator might have still had some juice left for it. But all the ups and downs, you're ins, you're outs, etc., took its toll. If only the show had been shopped to cable at the outset - we might be heading toward our fourth season and more wackiness.

My list of shows I'm recording this season is still pretty long. I've got a couple of nights where I'm 3 and 4 shows simultaneously. Thank goodness that I've got distance channels on the WB that will be going with the CW, so I can record in other time zones for a few shows at least.

I am also upset by Threshold.
They didn't give it a chance.
They had just signed Catherine Bell to appear on the show and then they move it to Tuesdays and kill it.


And Emily's Reasons Why not. Shut down after one episode... Was it the funniest episode, No, but it was the Pilot.


They need to give shows a chance to gain an audience
