Something fun

You have the power to bring 5 of the shows you loved but got axed way to early. These shows have to be something that were cut down early on (died after a season or 2) not something like Sex and the City that played out till its natural end.

Now for the 5 shows you bring back you must also pick 5 shows which are on the air now to cancel.

You can also pick 2 more axed shows which would be mid season replacments in case 2 or your original 5 did not work.

BRING BACK
Twin Peaks - (I think this show had much more to give but messed up a bit in its second season)

Eastwick - (Started off messy an unfocused but over the past 5 episodes its hit its stride and turned in to a fantastic show)

The Comeback - (So funny and very clever, such a shame it was axed after 1 season)

Pushing Daisies - (Brilliant, great cast and the writing was superb, like so many great shows though it just did not catch on)

Dirt - (i know this show did not have a huge fan base and some hated it, but i found it funny, it was trashy and silly and a great guilty pleasure)

5 TO BE AXED

24 - (This show ran out of steam after season 5, the stories are stupid and its almost become a parody of its former self)

Gossip Girl - (another one which has run out of steam, whilst 90210 and Melrose Palace are not setting the ratings on fire, they are far better shows than this)

The Biggest Looser - (I would put ALL reality shows but this one bugs the hell out of me. Shows like this can get over 10 million viewers whilst new scripted shows suffer against it in the same time slot)

How I Met Your Mother - (Not funny at all, im stunned this is still on)

Brothers and Sisters - (I find this dull and over written)

MID SEASON 2

Pacific Palisades - (90s fluff show, very Melrose/Dynasty, camper than Madonna/Kylie and Lady Gaga covered in glitter. We all need some trash)

My So Called Life - (Such a great show)

Now this is everyones own opinions and just a bit of fun, so no nast comments about peoples choices etc

If BROTHERS & SISTERS gets cancelled now that you've put that out there in the universe, I will fly to your home and I WILL hurt you.

Whew! Good thing I only watched 3.5 eps of Celebrity Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew.

Taz, that show was pretty awesome I have to say.

I'd love to see either Pepper Ann or The Muppet Show return.

Out of curiosity, do you consider reality TV only the competition shows, or anything that follows real people? Because, some of the reality shows aren't that bad, like Ace of Cakes or Ghost Hunters.

[Q]

Husk - just for myself, I'm talking about the 'competition' ones.

Good call on Jack Bobby, Q! That show had such a great concept.

"Bring back Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman from the vaults."
Absolutely!! I was crazy about that show and never missed an episode. I used to have a 45 of Mary Kay Place singing Baby Boy. I can't remember what was on Side B. If anyone knows, please post.

Edit: I used to have a Mary Hartman t-shirt and the Mary Hartman board game. I wish I still had those things.

all reality shows. if you want to call it a season-length documentary i will consider commuting the executions.

DanMAg: The 30something'ers would be 50something now.

The whining might be unbearable.

Of all the reality shows to hate (and there are zillions), you hate The Biggest Loser the most? At least its aims are somewhat noble.

I wish Glee would get canceled.

[Dantes]

Posted: 12/28/09 at 11:47am

Yep i can't stand the biggest loser, sorry
I don't care if it does something noble, i find it horrid

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 12/28/09 at 11:49am

i second that, phyllis. we'll kill all of them too. except for jane lynch.

[Jane2]

Posted: 12/28/09 at 11:54am

Phyllis, I agree about Glee. Jane Lynch is too fabulous in the Christopher Guest films to be in Glee.

[SNAFU]

Posted: 12/28/09 at 11:56am

They should kill off anything that has a Kardasian in it!

[degrassifan]

Posted: 12/28/09 at 12:28pm

Oh wow. Then I should be executed. I can't even count how many reality shows I currently watch.

i would have thought the requirement of your impending death sentence would have been self-evident.
