TV!

[katikat]

I'm gone for three days and there's so much happening!

Bones - renewed for two seasons! And I need to catch up on it!

Castle - renewed for a 2nd season! Yay! And I need to catch up on it!

Chuck - renewed for 13 episodes, but: "The 13-episode pickup came after Warner Bros. agreed to make significant budget concessions, including scaling back the number of episodes several members of the show's stellar supporting cast will appear in and, per one insider, possibly eliminating one actor altogether (R.I.P. Anna Wu?). The show is also expected to cut two of its staff writers."

Dollhouse - renewed O.O Really? With demo ratings lower than Supernatural that airs on The CW? I mean, season finale of Dollhouse vs. Supernatural: 1.0 vs. 1.3 18-49 demo! O.O Wow.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - canceled. I don't really mind because I barely got through S1, I found it rather boring. But I'm sorry for its fans :(

Interesting days in the TV-Land :)

Thanks so much for the news about Bones! I'm happy to see Fox is finally putting some faith in the series that's performed pretty darn well for them.

I'm glad that they renewed it, I just hope that they "fix" Angela next season. What she was doing in the lab was borderline sexual harassment and I would be so happy if someone actually called her on it and filed a complaint or something. If a man did the same thing, he would be fired immediately or called a chauvinistic pig or something.

I don't watch Chuck, but it sucks that they have to limit the number of episodes the cast appears in when they only have 13 episodes! :-/

I'm glad Dollhouse got renewed! The second half of season 1 was like, 10 times better than the first half, and things really took a turn for the spectacular in the last couple episodes. Not surprising - Buffy season 1 was the exact same way. Maybe it could be indicative of good things in Dollhouse's future!

Though, granted, it's never going to happen on Fridays. On a normal TV night (Sunday-Thursday), the highest-rated show can grab a 4.0 or higher in A18-49. Fridays, it's amazing if a show can grab 2.0. There just aren't enough people watching TV on Fridays, particularly in that demographic (the people watching TV Friday nights are typically on the young or old side). The networks just need to realize that what they program on Friday nights is a) not going to get stellar ratings, and b) going to skew to demographics that aren't their favorites.

I'm glad Fox is taking a chance on a very low-rated show, though. I was very shocked to hear about it, though!

Actually, I wouldn't mind if some of the core members of Chuck appeared in fewer episodes - I always found the BuyMore "comedians" a bit obnoxious and I prefered the parts that focused on Chuck, Sara and Casey kicking butts :P I'm just glad that it was renewed at all. It's such a funny little show!

I never watched Dollhouse, to be honest. The idea doesn't appeal to me and I don't like Eliza Dushku *hides* But I'm glad for its fans that it did receive a renewal :) Though for Fox to pick up a show that's lower rated than SPN... O.O Still mind-boggling.

Too bad for S.Connor!

I stopped watching the show at the end of S1 but I would take that over Dollhouse :(

Crap, I would chuck Dollhouse, which IMO never really got going in all 12 episodes, in a heartbeat for the amazing Finale potential Sarah Connor had. And I was all content to say goodbye to that show too BEFORE that Finale.

Good for Bones though, it really is one of their solid contenders.

I intensely dislike the idea of Dollhouse. It's just creepy. And Eliza Dushku never did anything for me. Oh well...

And I really do like Bones. Once Zack left, it got even better, IMHO. I love the ever changing interns and Sweets too :)

I don't really care about Bones so much, but I'm very happy Castle was renewed. :) Dollhouse too, I like the premise and most of the characters (inexplicably, that does not include the main one), even though the delivery disappointed I wanna see where they take it.

Bones got so much better once they got rid of Zack. And Castle... \o/ Together with The Mentalist, it's my favorite show of this year!

I am so frickin' happy over Castle and Dollhouse! I read somewhere that Dollhouse had "impressive DVR playback boosts," so that probably helped. Those last two episodes were holy-crap amazing. (But then I'm a huge Whedon fangirl and biased as hell. :)

That makes two of us! ^__^ *huggles*

Er... in reference to Dollhouse! lol

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Dollhouse really isn't my thing but I was so happy when I found out that Castle was renewed. I was so happy for Nathan Fillion, I mean, two of his series were cancelled after just a couple of episodes :(

[arielhime.livejournal.com]

I'm actually very happy that Dollhouse got renewed. It's like... the only show I really watched. I don't tend to watch a lot of TV but this one caught my attention and I'm very happy to hear it's coming back for a second season. ^_^

To be honest, I didn't even try the show out. I didn't like the idea - La Femme Nikita just with cool toys - and I don't like Eliza Dushku. She's cute but a bad actress, IMHO.
