Hmmm....

Trying to think of a "Top 5" topic today, but the brain just isn't functioning yet...caffeine? Oh, maybe...

Eh, we'll go with "Top 5 CANCEL THEM", pick 5 shows that you think should be cancelled, have run their course..whatever...and, I just couldn't contain myself..this edition holds "6" shows. :-P

1. ANY of the reality shows..."American Idol", "Survivor", that whole gamut...after three years, they realized that "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" wasn't drawing in the numbers when it was new, why can't they for these?

2. According to Jim...I sat and watched a little of this, a few months ago...contrived plot, not that funny..we'll say it's tied with the George Lopez show.

3. Ghost Whisperer - Really, did we need a show whose premise sounds a "little" like Medium? And, I understand that Jennifer Love Hewitt needs a hit, but is this it?

4. That 70's Show - When they have to stop showing the license plate number because they've obviously been stuck in 79 for a LONG time, it's time to end the show...also, when two of the prime stars leave, the chemistry gets knocked out of balance..

5. The War at Home - HORRIBLE...watched the first ep...the laugh track is annoying, having the main character try to pull a "Titus" of talking in a narrative style to the audience...ugh.

6. Joey - Without the rest of the "friends" as a balance, UGH. Just put it out of its misery already.

Interesting topic today.... I was going to suggest a topic of tv shows that made it and never should have...

[per_solo]

Hmm...that's a good one as well...will have to save that one. :-)

It is illegal to cancel Survivor or American Idol. I'm just sayin'.

;)

[per_solo]

;-P Well then, only criminals will cancel those shows...

Interesting idea. :-)

American Idol is still overwhelming the #1 Neilsen slot. Makes me sick :-p.

AMEN. Ah well, Millionaire did the same, for a while.

1.have go with some of the reality t.v. shows as well. especially ones like extreme makeover(the orginial not the house one).

2.four kings. i love seth green. i'll repeat that, i love seth green. he can find a better project though. one that's not as trite and over the top.

3.i'll admit ghost whisperer is bad. really melodramatic. wasn't sure it needed to be cancelled but having trouble here so yeah.

4.law and order. it's been on way too long. the story's are getting kind of old and i'm sick of the straight from headlines bullshit.

5.sigh...i love charmed but i'm saying it. it's time to go. eighth season's not bad but it's not great either. probably would've been best to just end it last year. it was complete, it left it open for fanfic and it gave definite closure. this year....it's good to know it's the last.


btw have we figured out tonight?

[per_solo]

Yes...I posted a comment in your LJ stating to meet up at my place. :-) 5:00ish work?

[confusedjew.livejournal.com]

yeah just realized that. may be a little after due to computer in car loading.

[per_solo]

Not a problem, it'll all come together. :-)
