    Reading an article in which US advertisers say they fully expect Person Of Interest and Charlie's Angels to be the first casualities of the upcoming network tv season.

    I 100% on Charlie's ....utter muck, but Person Of Interest :confused: - dunno, depends, i'm guessing it'll be a slow burner, not huge numbers but will do enough and prehaps build over time.

    My interest though is trying to discover who'll "pull a Lone Star"...you know?, critically acclaim but pulled after two episodes :(
    I have a sneaky suspicion Terra Nova is gonna bomb BIGTIME! :D

    Generally, Americans don't favour too slow a burner.
    Even Downton abbey (A British export to them) had to be ridiculously cut down, to cut out what they considered boring bits more so!

    Falling Skies, its full of cliches. I also predict a trojan horse attak on the Alien ship over Boston in the final episode.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,388 ✭✭✭PhiloCypher


    NBC's Awake . Its great cast and intriguing premise make it perfect cancellation fodder.

    At this stage, anything I think is good will be cancelled and anything I think is muck will be renewed straight away!

    ^ this

    Although it's a mid-season replacement so it's not going to happen for some time.

    Same creator as Lonestar, an ambitious pilot with a talented director but they'll find it very tough to keep up that standard over the first 3/4 episodes.

    Red Dot Diva needs to stop referring to herself in the third person.
