* I like the new look of my profile page. It's much cleaner now, not so cluttered. But then, straight lines and dividers always make me go \o/ Me obsessive? Nah... ;P

* According to EZTV, Fox will be moving House to Monday 9pm and Bones to Thursday 8pm mid-season. Hm...

* Also according to EZTV, the CW tossed its plans for The Graysons. Puh, I was actually looking forward to that. Instead of that, the WB is now looking for other franchise they could "reboot" for the CW. Melrose Place is already given *sigh*

* I have the latest SPN ep downloaded but I think I won't watch it until I'm done working for the day. Every time I watch an ep before work, I'm totally distracted and my working ethics go down the drain *head/desk*

* I know that some people on my flist watch Pushing Daisies - I don't have good news for you. According to this article, "It seems unlikely that ABC will pick up more episodes of the critically-beloved Daisies; the show is currently ranked at No. 64 and attracts a mere 6.14 million viewers." Also, from various sources come the news that the crew was already told to halt any further production so it's not even sure if they will air all 13 eps as ordered. Sorry, folks... :(

Damn. I knew Pushing Daisies was in trouble...but it's so much fun! So cute and bizarre and quirky! And...6.14 mill is a figure some networks would kill for!!

Stupid networks. :(

I think that the only network that would be grateful for 6+ mil would be the CW. Other networks are pretty desperate about how bad some of their shows are doing and they are switching them and moving them to try and get them better ratings :(

I've had my SPN downloaded too, but I'm waiting to watch it after I get back from work. Watching it on the TV screen is much better that sitting hunched over the laptop. But it's agonizing to wait, when you know it's already there ready to be watched :)

I watch it on my computer :) But once I watch it, I want to re-watch my favorite parts and that's a road to hell when one has to work :P

Oh, that blows. I love Pushing Daisies! :(

I never got into the show myself but I knew that people on my flist were into it... :(

Well there's not to much CW can do if WB proper said no go on The Graysons, poor channel even the execs are trying to kill you off.

...Why would they move House? That makes little sense. Hmm. Anyway, at least I'll be able to watch both House and NCIS now.

As much as I like House, I would always choose NCIS. That's my happy show \o/ They are so funny but it's obvious how much the characters care for each other...

Also according to EZTV, the CW tossed its plans for The Graysons. Puh, I was actually looking forward to that.

I'm actually rather relieved, mostly because I'm a HUGE Dick Grayson fan and there's 3 reasons why The Graysons really wouldn't have worked for me:

1. They were gonna call Dick "DJ", which is the most retarded thing ever. His name is DICK. He goes by Dick, all the time, by everyone, from his earliest years to the present. Also, Dick pre-Robin isn't even a teenager, and you know the CW would have hired an actor like 18 years or something do the part, which totally wouldn't work for the character. 18-year-old Dick is just about to quit being Robin and be Nightwing!!

2. How long can you have a show about Dick and his family in the circus? Like I said before, it's already jacked because Dick's going to be old to start with, but like ... Dick wasn't even in the circus for a few years before his parents died - it happened when he was REALLY YOUNG. I could see it working if they had Dick become Robin in like a season or two within The Graysons starting, but they're trying to make it too much like Smallville and just have it be about Dick's younger years, which doesn't work for Dick. His younger years just don't last very long!!

3. What they *should* have done is a Nightwing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightwing) series for Dick Grayson. Nightwing? Is HOT (http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nightwingiw3.jpg) (also, see my icon - I love him), and Dick Grayson is DC's most beloved character by women. If The CW had half a brain, they'd realize Nightwing is the most perfect character ever for their coveted target demographic. And if you make a show about Nightwing, you've opened the door to have pretty much ANYONE in the DC universe appear, because Dick knows everybody and everybody knows (and loves!) Dick. Like Batgirl/Oracle, Huntress, The Flash, Arsenal/Red Arrow, Donna Troy/Wonder Girl/Troia, etc., etc. And you could even have Robin II/Red Hood (Jason Todd) and Robin III (Tim Drake) appear!! And Alfred Pennyworth!! Eeeeeeeeeeee, AIGH, CW, why don't you do this?

I would, obviously, totally get behind a Nightwing series. I'd follow it as long as it lasted, even if it got terrible. :9

I actually liked the idea. I never read the comics, all I saw was the new Batman animated series and that was all. I thought I would view it completely independently from any other source. Like I did with Smallville. I would have prefered Robin, no matter how convoluted, to yet another "rich and beautiful" drama on that network *sigh*
