I liked it but I stopped watching it after its rattings tanked. I don't like watching new shows that I know will be cancelled.

it didn't pull Lost or Grey's Anatomy or Boston Legal style ratings either. Right now ABC is so hot that if a show is in the 70's, it's a lot worse than it would've been last season.

WB has already renewed One Tree Hill, Reba and 7th Heaven (even tho it's time for 7th to croak... we've been dealing with this preachy garbage for a decade)

How does Blind Justice have a higher chance of getting renewed for renewal then Eyes?

They both do bad in the ratings but Eyes keep mostly all of it's Alias lead in viewers. I'd say Eyes has a better chance then.

there's almost no point in even watching new shows because MOST of them will get cancelled by the time you get hooked on them..

The only one I am not so sure I agree with you on is Rodney. That show does hold about 90% of the audience from According to Jim, and it is the second highest rated sitcom on ABC. Even though we all know it is because of the plum time slot after According to Jim. I also notice ABC has been promoting it lately.

That still isn't fair. ABC is acting like they are suddenly the greatest network in the world. Let's see your longevity, bastards!! One season doesn't cut it.

This is why I normally don't bother. Since I got into Eyes and now apparently it's gonna get canned, why the hell did I even bother this time?

Yea thats true, especially if they are in bad timeslots. I hardly ever bothrer with them. I will say that this year though there has been more new shows that have caught on which is good.

With Grey's Anatomy pretty much a lock for the post "DH" timeslot next season, Boston Legal will most likely go to 10pm on Tuesdays where "BJ" is averaging about 8 million viewers. "Wife Swap" will go back on Wednesdays at 10pm as "Eyes" is only drawing about 6.5mil. It's senseless for ABC to air dramas at 10pm opposite Law & Order and CSI NY- there's no audience.
