What new show are you surprised is still on? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Buffyboy323 · 03-06-2009, 06:36 PM

Did you predict they would all make it this far along? Are you surprised any of them are still on the air?

ETA: I'm aware Life on Mars was just canceled, but it lasted a few months, so I included it in the poll. Believe it or not, it actually did last longer than some others this season.

You can pick more than one show in the poll.

I voted for Fringe, because I think it's an alright show, which is why I'm surprised it's still on! Most of the stuff I like gets cancelled immediately.

I'd also like to add that I'm surprised that Leverage, Burn Notice, and Psych have made it this far. I really enjoy these shows, so naturally, I wait for the network to destroy them...

I'm surprised hereos is still on. i hadn't watched the newer epsidoes. i only got the first season. i just heard that their going for seasonfour. I just don't like the newer ones much.IF I liked wrost week. i didn't watch any of the Newer epsidoes. I LIKE THE EVLEN HOUR. IT KIND OF LIKE X-Files. its not to far out.

Buffyboy323 · 03-17-2009, 03:28 AM

I voted for Eleventh Hour, Garry Unmarried, Kath & Kim, and Life on Mars.
Though not huge, 90210 is a success. It does well for The CW. I'm not a fanatic about it (yet!), but I am enjoying it.

Fringe looks interesting and I only hear good things about it. I might check it out sometime.

I'm definitely not surprised it's still on the air, but I never thought The Mentalist would be doing as great as it has been. CBS seems to have found themselves yet another blockbuster.

Does anyone see that show Cupid lasting long?

ekkostar · 03-23-2009, 08:52 AM

None of them are mentioned in the poll, but I'm surprised that How I Met Your Mother, Rules of Engagement, Two and a Half Men, My Name Is Earl, The Office US, Heroes, Scrubs, Battlestar Galactica, Psych, Monk, American Dad, Desperate Housewives, House, Lost and 24 have all lasted as long as they did. I remember when all of those shows premiered and I thought most of them wouldn't last long... I was wrong.

As an aside, I do think that US television should be more like television overseas and only have around 4 to 5 series so the shows won't get stale, though, because they concept of shows that run for 10 seasons seems rather useless now with our shorter attention spans.

A bit OT, but I do like how Stan Smith namechecked Two and a Half Men on American Dad last night, both shows get the same amount of criticism and it's nice to know that the ADad crew has the TAHM crew's back.
