It also looks as if 17th Precinct won't get picked up either. I looked at press for the thing and thought to myself..."Too nBSG." (And I liked nBSG.)

I still would have liked to see a magical police procedural. Quick, somebody in Hollywood call Terry Pratchett and option his Discworld series so they can do a Watch based show!
 

Outsourced is gone... :(

Worried about Chuck, hopefully it survives.

I just don't get the world we live in where a series like Chuck gets renewed over and over and over, and yet shows that are ten times as good get axed, over and over and over.

You might get your wish. I can't remember the name of it, but I read that there was a series that was greenlit where it was set in a world where fairy creatures were real. I already hate it.
 


Long overdue

Thank all that is holy. I will never understand what led NBC executives to decide there would be humor in the mass unemployment of people in the U.S. and the wholesale exporting of their jobs to third world countries.

"Hey, let's make fun of the fact that people can't get jobs!"

Wow. Just wow. No wonder NBC is in 4th place among the 4 major networks.
 


<SNIP>
Too bad they also didn't cancel Rules of Engagement. I thought sitcoms were supposed to be funny. I also would have rather seen The Office and Two and a Half Men put out of their misery than mutate into their upcoming unpromising incarnatations (Ashton Kutcher? Really?).
I like Rules of Engagement, the humor is great for someone who has been married 20+ years. Spouses can point and stare and tell each other, "you totally do that". As for L&O...good riddance, I was waiting for L&O Paris or L&O London or L&O Cleveland... CSI: Miami could go away too.
As for T&aHM, they really screwed up in not hiring Emilio Esteves to take Charlie's place... A missed opportunity to tell Charlie the wonder twit that frankly my dear, we don't give a damn.

Likely because the movie the show comes from is actually quite good. Not that that's good reasoning, but it was probably a factor.

The loss of Chicago Code is very disappointing; it's the best new show from broadcast networks this year.

I think you're possibly making the mistake of judging a book by its cover. I'm not a fan of all the L&O iterations and to be fair, they're all substantially different in flavour, with only the very basic premise being the same. L&O: LA was damn fine quality TV. It had excellent actors and excellent scripts. The second half of the first season when Molina becomes a detective especially. Alfred Molina, Terrence Howard, Alana de la Garza, are all really good. It's a real shame it got canned.

ABC is doing a pilot for a series about Edgar Allan Poe solving weird crimes. Not quite what your asking for, but it's something (and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll turn out to be good).

There actually is a Law & Order: UK. It airs on BBC America.

Personally, I don't like it. The actors are okay, but the are literally just refilming old L&O scripts. Apparently, Dick Wolf didn't want them doing anything original. :confused:
