New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Shows?

[Mark]

So how many New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Shows are scheduled to be premiering this fall season?

How many are ending and how many others are coming back?

What was on the drawing board that got axed before it even got out of the gate?

Who has got the scoops?

News page has some stuff on the CW troubles, looks like they may be merging with someone else and are going on about their ratings. How this may effect there shows is yet to be seem but REAPER is not coming back until late October, figure the show will be picked up by someone else if the CW Network fails.

Mondays: Chuck and Heroes are the must see returning shows for me. I am looking forward to Chuck more than Heroes. New Shows: Worst Week looks fun. Dollhouse is late season.

Tuesday: REAPER if it is still on Tuesdays and Fringe but figure Mentalist, the Pysch copy without the craziness and comdey, will do better. I like Eli Stone, so, will also watch that.

Wednesday: Bones. No interested in Knight Rider.

Thursday: Smallville, Supernatural and Life on Mars. Will see if the Americian version of Life on Mars makes the translation.

Friday: Crusoe, Stargate Atlantis and Sanctuary. Sanctuary may be the Sfi-Fi's Fringe, be interesting to see.

Saturday: is open for me normally watch Primeval on BBC America, don't see any new shows I am interested in.

Sunday: is open for me, Valentine looks stupid and I don't have HBO to see True Blood.

Link?! I just got timed out searching the CM page and couldn't find anything about this. If it wasn't for Reaper, I really wouldn't care if CW sunk. And if they sink, someone non-cable-else picks Reaper up and doesn't turn it into suck, well that's just gravy.

Yeah, no cable for me, so it's looking pretty sparce. Even worse, CW's not running Reaper angain until January, while pretty much the rest of their returning and new stuff makes me want to puke. Heck, even Smallville sometimes, that show's jumped at least more than one kryptonite shark by now.

About all that's left that I know of is the syndicated run of Startgate: Atlantis. Maybe some of the new stuff might be ok, but I'm hgestitant to try any of it, having been burned by sucky netowrk programming one too many times.

I don't know if you have tried Pushing Daisies, but it is the best show on television as far as I am concerned. As for new stuff I am willing to give Legend of the Seeker a try, it may end up sucking but the promos look good. And since it is not network it may have a better chance of survival and being able to maintain its integrity. Since you don't have cable though it may or may not be on one of your local channels because it is syndicated.

 

[Desdichado]

I don't get BBC America for some ridiculous reason.

I'll have to watch Primeval on DVD after the fact.

 

[Welverin]

Sunday: is open for me, Valentine looks stupid and I don't have HBO to see True Blood.

But, that's the day The Unit got moved to!

Thanks, everyone!


I am sometimes perplexed at the waysome shows are grouped into categories where they do not seem to belong. Should the CSI franchises really be grouped by SFTV into this (admittedly broad) genre?
