lost to t.v. (please?)

[passionrlsusall]

Now that House is up to date, other t.v. shows I'm tempted to watch, perhaps all the way through, in order, but shouldn't because it's just more escapism really but I feel like what else do I have to do

I enjoyed Undeclared from what I saw of it (is along the lines of freaks and geeks, but set at university).
And Wonderfalls. To add to your list. :-)

Definitely my-so-called life. :-) Went through that stage of borrowing them all from the library and watching them in a day or two. heh... Now I usually watch all the B movies and the wonderful buster keaton on Google Video, because a vast majority of them are public domain. B movies, totally awesome wonderful way to waste time. lol.

Dead like me(?), I think that's what it's called.
Also alright. :-)

I already know I like MSCL..I've probably seen most of it too, years ago on MTV. I've also probably seen about half of Wonderfalls, considering so few episodes aired. Undeclared I've never seen.

[nevermind_that]

Definitely Freaks & Geeks and My So-Called Life. Also, I really loved Dead Like Me as well (as suggested by the person above, but I don't know if you've already seen it...). If not, I think you'd really like the dark humour in it.

Start with F&G though! You won't regret it.

I saw one ep. of Dead Like Me in a hotel room (we don't get premium channels at home), and it seemed good. And I've prob. seen a good amount of the eps. of F&G and MSCL already..but I want to watch them all in order.

I LOVED Joan of Arcadia, but if you do watch it, be warned that it ends on a cliffhanger. The produce didn't know whether it would be renewed or not, so she decided to forge ahead with her storyline even though the chance of cancellation was high. I still get bummed every time I think of that unfinished story. :(

[passionrlsusall]

That totally sucks. But at least I can hopefully be prepared for it now. How long did the show last? I thought it was really popular..why was it not renewed?

[sedeara]

The show lasted two seasons. It *was* quite popular, but the reason NBC gave for nixing it was that it wasn't reaching the "targeted demographic" of teens and young adults -- middle-aged people were watching it instead. It was really frustrating, because the show ran at 7/8 pm Friday nights, so if they wanted the teen/YA audience, they should have run it on a different night. I wish they would have experimented with different times rather than just cutting it . . . or just accepted the audience it did have rather than wringing their hands over not reaching a *different* audience, but, alas, it's all water under the bridge now and this is probably much more than you needed to know. :p

What do they care WHO's watching it as long as people are? Ugh, they cancel all the best shows. I ordered the first disc of it from netflix tonight.
