Minus the reality crap, the stuff that's getting renewed makes a pretty good list. Of the ones that got cancelled I've seen Pan Am, CSI: Miami, Ringer, and Prime Suspect, and I'm not going particularly miss any of them.

I'm appalled they even attempted an American version of Prime Suspect. That series was perfection.

Don't watch any of those, but 'The Simpsons' ...while the BF's kids LUV 'Glee.'




Okay, it gives them a creative outlet; more power to them, but I can't stand to be in the same room, when they watch it.

Well, as much as I enjoyed the Helen Mirren version, I didn't automatically assume that the US version would suck...


But in this case it did...(watched one episode)

It sucked almost as bad...(though not quite as bad) as the US remake of "The Prisoner"...

Time for a new thread I believe! Thanks for the inspiration Jim and BSG!
