Wow I dont agree with many on her list, while I dont watch any CSI's or Ghost Whisperer I thought they did well for CBS?

My list would be: George Lopez, According to Jim, In Case of Emergency, Survivor, Trading Spouses, AFV, 2 1/2 Men, American Idol (I know I will get flamed for this but its MY list), The Bacelor, Boston Legal, Desperate Housewifes, the Apprentice, Trading Spouses... I cant comment on the CW, the only thing I have ever seen on there is Everybody Hates Chris(which I like)

Looking at my list I am not a big fan of ABC huh.

The creators of Lost wanted people to start a "Kill 7th Heaven" website.

And Boston Legal does not deserve to get canceled! That is the one lawyer show that is different and not the normal shit.

I'm with Cyndi--"American Idol". If "Millionaire", "Survivor", and "The Apprentice" could fade into oblivion (yes, I'm aware that these are all still on the air in some form, but they're thankfully OUT of the daily pop culture drumbeat, finally), then surely there must be SOME way to kill "American Idol" and spare us all the countless stories about talentless boobs and their heartfelt fans.

And don't call me Shirley. :-)

Shows like My Name is Earl and the office i think are a waste. The show Joey was far better than that and it was cancelled.
2 1/2 men should be due to the fact the show is now all about sex and some of the comments should not be aired so whoever the writers are please take note you are turning off alot of people.
Now I am a Donald fan however The Apprentice has lost its punch.
American Idol needs to change its judges due to the fact they are getting lazy and this year's talent was the worst.
They turned away people that were far better then some they sent to Hollywood. I think they get tired from the auditions after a while and say yes just to get it over with.
This year's Idol was the bad and I found myself channel surfing during the show.
Next year if its not better talent I may not watch it at all.

Alot of the shows this season are a waste of tape.
Such as My name is Earl, The office to name a few.
American Idol and Dancing are still in the #1 spot although the choices for both these shows this season leave alot to be desired.
Dancing has only maybe 3 couples that offer any challange to anyone the other do not have any rymthum at all.
Their again, clyde and John should be gone not Leeza and the others at least they could dance a little.
The people choosing all the candidates had better do better next year otherwise they may be in for a big surprise where ratings are concerned.

Scripted shows? Nuh-UH! Sure, everyone might have overdone the serial format for while, but it seems the networks are coming to their senses. Let's cut a swath through reality tv first.

First up? Shows with "Celebrity" in the title- Restart or crash your career somewhere else please.

Second? Reality "Game shows"- You are not game shows. Game shows start out with a group of people whittled down to 1, on the large part you don't have to tune in next night to find out who wins, and the lighting is adjusted for dramatic effect every minute!

Third? The Clones- I may not watch AI or survivor, but I'm mostly fine with it. It's the thinly veiled copies and local versions taking up the airtime and filling the same spot in the off-season that make things strenuous and the originals even more annoying.

ER so needs to end. I have watched every episode since it began. It is OLD and need to just DIE! All the originals are gone. They knew when it was time to leave.

AMERICAN IDOL.

If I wanted to watch singers of that quality I could just go to a pub and get a performer who is 10 times better than anyone who is on that show. The show is nothing more than a popularity contest and until it fades away I'm afraid that the Amerian public will be subjected to mind-numbing mediocraty. I know that it is America's #1 show, and I also know that I am not alone in my hatred. Let's hope that Simon gets fed up and quits.

KILL Search for the Next Pusstcat Doll, so Veronica Mars can be saved please!

Also please can According to Jim its not funny and for that same reason throw in American Dad, Til Death, and the CW monday line-up.

For overstaying its welcome anything with nanny in the title, The View, The Apprentice, Survivor, Wrestle Mania, and (We're going to be all put on criminal charges for saying this) American Idol.

These things are pointless. There will always be more people don't like a show, than people who do. How many viewers does American Idol get for example? Let's be optimistic and say it's 50 million. That's a HUGE success isn't it. But that means there are 250 million people that don't watch it. If everyone voted then it would be a prime target for cancellation with a 5:1 ratio against it continuing to be made.

Stick with a regular campaign and gather the number of people that want a show to remain on-air by all means. It's not going to make a difference to the networks though unless you see the number exceed several million. I wonder if there were enough people that could have kept Arrested Development alive. I doubt it.

I'm a gemstone lover. In my opinion, there's nothing more beautiful than a simple, perfectly cut translucent colored stone. Unfortunately, jewelers have a tendency to put these wonders of nature in atrocious settings. Everytime I watch the home shopping networks and see spectacular stones embedded in a ridiculously gaudy piece of jewelry, I yell "free the stones!"

There are two shows on the the air right now that have absolute gems of casts entrapped in poorly written, cliched enivroments. Everytime I attempt to watch them I wind up yelling "free the actors!"

The shows? The established Grey's Anatomy and newbie October Road.

I love Patrick Dempsey. Love Sandra Oh. Love Chandra Wilson. Love James Pickens, Jr. Hate, hate, hate Grey's Anatomy. I've tried to like this show. I can't. There is absolutely no substance to it. The dialogue makes me cringe. The medical "drama" is so lightweight it's a joke. OK, I know Grey's Anatomy is supposed to be soapy. I'd rather watch the daytime serials! This is a series whose success lies squarely on the backs of the marvelous actors. And they deserve better.

October Road is the kissin' cousin of Grey's Anatomy. Another wonderful cast holding up a badly written show. The dialogue is truly craptacular. I've seen some posts over on Television Without Pity where people are fast-forwarding though it to get to the scenes with Tom Berenger and Penny Johnson Jerald.

Unlike mega-hit Grey's, October Road can be disposed of. OR has been getting middling ratings so far, picking up a bit of the Grey's audience, and ABC is leaning towards a pickup for next season. So I plead with the viewers who are accidentally leaving on October Road after Grey's Anatomy is finished: turn it off!

I would give anything for Sanjaya to win and have Simon Cowell keep his word and quit. American Idol is an abomination. I can't stand karaoke.

Lost and all reality TV programs.

Can we just put MTV out of its misery?

I would cancel anything on CBS, War at Home, Til Death, Mind of Mencia, and According to Jim. Especially Mencia. I Hate Him.

Deal or No Deal - 1 vs. 100 - Identity - American Idol - Extreme Makeover - Family Guy - Office

Better idea, get rid the executives at NBC, CW and FOX and never let them get another job in TV again.

Lose the reality shows and this from someone who likes Project Runway but if you lose one you should lose all.

Game shows should be moved back to where they belong - daytime. Did NBC not learn anything from the ABC fiasco of Millionaire?
