Favorite TV Shows AXED!!!!

What a vicious day from the ‘suits’ on the TV networks!!!

So many damn good shows CANCELLED!!!! And most of them were this blog writer’s most-watched shows.  Chief casualty to my mind is “AWAKE“, probably the most intriguing show for years. Perhaps that was it’s downfall. The viewing public don’t seem to like shows that make them think, and “Awake” certainly exercised the little grey cells. I just hope they play out the rest of the one and only season.

Also gone – “The River” – captivating, weird, wild, supernatural and riveting watching. Again, perhaps too complicated for the general “Simpsons”- loving public.

“Alcatraz” where prisoners from 1963 mysteriously turn up in 2012, still the same age, still killing people. Another one where the viewer has to THINK, so it loses out.

“G.C.B.” (Good Christian Bitches) – deliciously poking fun at the conservative Christian right, hugely funny and glamorous and starring the amazing Kristen Chenoweth. GONE!! Probably offended the bible belt.

“Missing” has gone missing. CIA mystery about an ex-agent’s son being kidnapped and her frantic attempts to find him.

“Pan Am” – To us, a surprise nostalgic delight about a group of stewardesses in the 60s on the long-defunct airline with a hint of mystery thrown in as one of them is a ………. spy. But one season is apparently enough. Boo!

Other favorite shows we won’t be seeing any more – “Harry’s Law”, “Ringer” and “Secret Circle.”

I begin to wonder if it’s worth watching any new shows.  You just get into the stories, get involved with the characters and then they disappear. Lets all just watch re-runs of “Lost.”
