As you may have noticed, quite a number of TV shows are winding down for the season or closing shop altogether. I have put together a list of the shows I have watched at some point and those I am currently watching that are getting the boot from their various networks and of course my thoughts on what shows you should bootleg/buy the DVD, what shows you shouldn’t.
Here we go!
All My Children (ABC)
Ending after forty-one seasons, final episode on 9/??/2011
ABC has confirmed that new episodes of this life consuming show would not be shot, and frankly speaking it’s about time. Who still watches this show?
Verdict: don’t bother looking for the DVD’s; I’m sure you can only find the VHS!
Big Love(HBO)
Ending after five seasons, final episode on 3/20/2011
In a way I sort of loved this show and the uniqueness about it. I’ll be the first to admit that it was stretched far longer than necessary but I’m glad that it’s over it.
Verdict: If you are interested in polygamy or you watch the Sister wives reality TV show, then this is right up your alley. Have fun.
Brothers & Sisters(ABC)Ending after five seasons, final episode on 5/8/2011
Sad to see the Walkers go, but all good things must end at some point. Lovely drama
Verdict: Get it please!!!! Awesome Show!
The Cape(NBC)
Ending after one season, final episode on 2/28/2011
I have no idea why this Super Hero themed show did so badly. I saw a few episodes and it wasn’t that bad. I think it was all about bad timing. In my opinion I think the public has had enough super-heroism for now so please Hollywood, cool off!
Verdict: Good Riddance
Entourage(HBO)
Ending after eight seasons, final episode on 9/11/2011
Entourage is a great series about life in the movie world and all the drama that comes with it; it’s fresh and genuinely funny and has a lot of A-list celebrity face time. I hear a movie is in the works so let’s see how that pans out.
Verdict: If Hollywood is your bread and butter, then this is for you.
The Event(NBC)
Ending after one season, final episode on 5/23/2011
After all the hype NBC would not be airing this Lost/24/Flash Forward look alike next season. The whole plot in itself was as weak 8 day old, sitting on the counter with the top off coke. Aliens living among us, near assassination of the president… Blah. Blah Blah.
Verdict: Don’t bother!
Glory Daze(TBS)
Ending after one season, final episode on 1/18/2011
Glory Daze was fun, but as soon as I saw the first episode I knew it would not last. Who makes a series on college life and all the partying and binge drinking? Make it into a movie and shut the hell up!
Verdict: B***h please!
Hannah Montana(DSNY)
Ending after four seasons, final episode on 1/16/2011
My lil sis and her friends would miss this one. Never saw an episode, never will. It would be syndicated and re-run for a long long time to come.
Verdict: If you really love this one, just watch Disney Channel all day. I can guarantee you would see a couple of episodes every day.
Hellcats(CW)
Ending after one season, final episode on 5/17/2011I tried following this one but couldn’t bring myself to watching a complete episode. Think “Bring it on” revamped for TV. Glad it’s done and over with. Hopefully it stays that way.
Verdict: Strictly for cheerleader wannabes YUK!
House Of Payne(TBA)
Ending after seven seasons, final episode on TBA
Call me a hater but I wouldn’t touch anything Tyler Perry with a 10 foot pole unless of course if said pole was to beat him up with. I cannot believe this show stayed this long on TV. The jokes are corny and forced and there’s just an artificial air about it
Verdict: Pure black garbage!
Larry King Live (CNN)
Ending after twenty-six seasons, final episode on 12/19/2010
I’m not going to act like I saw a great number of episodes of this but the few I did see were astounding and very professionally done. Everything about Larry King was really perfect and you would never know how much you miss Larry till you see Piers Morgan’s travesty!
Verdict: Legen-----dary * Barney Stintson voice*
Law & Order: Criminal Intent(USA)
Ending after ten seasons, final episode on 6/26/2011
In my opinion, I think there are too many cop and lawyer shows on TV. Its your regular whodunit type show. So no surprises here.
Verdict: If you have seen one.. You have seen ‘em all!
Law & Order: Los Angeles(NBC)
Ending after one season, final episode on 6/27/2011
Don’t you just hate spin offs
Verdict: don’t you just hate spin offs
Lights Out(FX)
Ending after one season, final episode on 4/5/2011
Tell me why I would want to watch a TV show about boxing? It bothers me though that such doomed to fail ideas make it to big networks. Were they banking on the success of the “Fighter”? I guess we would never know
Verdict: Glad this is off the air.
Mad Love(CBS)Ending after one season, final episode on 5/16/2011
Don’t know what happened with this one, but it wasn’t that bad. It does look like a hybrid form of “How I met your mother” to be honest. The cast are 4 naturally funny people, but the storyline is not worth writing about. Who lives in NY and is on first name basis with the elevator operator at the empire state building? Who lives in NY and requents the observation deck of the empire state building? Talk about cheesy!
Verdict: I’ll sit this one out. Thanks. As long as HIMYM is still kicking ass, I’ll pass
Mr. Sunshine(ABC)
Ending after one season, final episode on 4/6/2011
What a waste! Matthew Perry’s new gig was a total bust in my book. Very unlikable characters and watching him just makes you miss chandler from friends even more. For a “comedy”, it was definitely far from funny. We still love you Matt but we deserve better. Thank you.
Verdict: Don’t touch this one!
No Ordinary Family(ABC)
Ending after one season, final episode on 4/5/2011
I really really did look forward to this one! Sooo bad. Boy! Was I disappointed Another super hero fail, and a major one at that. A family of super heroes!?? Pull the other leg please. Bad bad story line and a poor plot was what did this one in. What sucks though is they had pretty decent graphics. Glad this is off my TV.
Verdict: If you want to punch yourself in the eye, then by all means go ahead!
One Life To Live (ABC)
Ending after forty-three seasons, final episode on 1/??/2012
No comment. You be the judge. Or better yet ask your folks if its any good. I have no clue
Verdict: Please see above
The Oprah Winfrey Show (SYN)
Ending after twenty-five seasons, final episode on 5/25/2011
What more can I say…. It’s Oprah! Enough said!
Verdict: Oprah?
Outsourced(NBC)
Ending after one season, final episode on 5/12/2011
I really loved this show! It was one of my favorites in recent times. Set in a call center in India, the pilot was laugh out loud funny. The first 10 episodes are to die for. From then on it just kept getting more and more watered down. Very lovable characters and I would surely miss them. Feels like the characters didn’t just quite stick together after a while.Verdict: Great for laughs, trust me you won’t be disappointed
Running Wilde(FOX)
Ending after one season, final episode on 5/21/2011
In one word; JUNK! Don’t watch this show please! This is like a model for bad comedies. As long as your shows not as bad as this I think you would be just ok. What totally drives me off the wall about this show is the voice over is done by the mute kid!! Really? Mute? Smh.
Verdict: I dare you to get past the first 15 mins of the pilot!
Sarah Palin's Alaska(TLC)
Ending after one season, final episode on 1/9/2011
Do we really need a Sarah Palin show? I think Tina Fey is doing a great job at that already. Ill rather watch paint dry.
Verdict: No thanks. I’ll watch SNL instead
Secret Diary Of A Call Girl(SHO)
Ending after four seasons, final episode on 5/26/2011
The perv in me sure loves this one. Not much depth to it but I just loved it for some reason.
Verdict: I’ll miss you *sob*
$#*! My Dad Says(CBS)
Ending after one season, final episode on 2/17/2011
BOOOO! Not funny at all. This is the sitcom all other sitcoms would make fun off at the playground. Who bases a show on a Twitter account? Granted the tweets might be funny, but translating them to a script is something entirely different.
Verdict: why bother? "The Big Bang Theory" "How I Met Your Mother," and "Two and a Half men" run this B***h
Smallville(CW)
Ending after ten seasons, final episode on 5/13/2011
Smallville, Smallville *sigh* where do I start? Why did this show ever stay on this long. All my sweet memories of superman would forever be tainted by this crap. The show went off the rails somewhere around the 4th season and I bet people who still watched it just did because they felt they had invested too much time into it. 10 seasons?? Geez!
Verdict: Feel free to get the box set if you like. It’s a lot to watch though. You could stop at the 4th season when you have had your fill.
The Suite Life On Deck(DSNY)
Ending after three seasons, final episode on 5/6/2011
Honestly, I actually loved the original version of this show. The twins: Zack and Cody are true deviants and I guess that’s why it appeals to me. Why they decided to move the set to a ship I would never understand. Just one more reason for me to hate spin-offsVerdict: Get the original: Suite life of Zack and Cody
Supernanny(ABC)
Ending after seven seasons, final episode on 3/18/2011
Bad kids/bad parents getting training from a “Super Nanny” . Errrr sorry, im not buying that. just another reality show designed to make you lose brain points. Glad to see this one die. 7 seasons is just overkill.
Terriers(FX)
Ending after one season, final episode on 12/1/2010
This show looked like it had potential. Loved the spin they put on the whole private investigator premise. Sad to see this one go. Why Fox? Why?
Verdict: Must see!
Undercovers(NBC)
 |
| Undercovers (let it remain under the covers) |
Ending after one season, final episode on 12/29/2010
This show sucks! Seriously don’t go near this one! Whose idea was this anyway? Maybe the idea was to market the sexiness of the lead characters but it just wasn’t enough to save the show
Verdict: if you got the DVD already, make a Frisbee out of it!
Wizards Of Waverly Place(DSNY)
Ending after four seasons, final episode on TBA
Kids everywhere would miss this one, but I’m guessing the main reason why this is ending is because the lead actors/actresses have all grown up. Hope to see them do bigger things soon. They look like a talented bunch.
Verdict: something to watch with your little siblings
What are your thoughts? Let me know!
