Stupid CBS!

First they come out with a lineup of shows that I can actually get into and watch. For a person that pretty much didn't have TV growing up, I've never had more than maybe one or two shows on TV at a time that I even care enough to follow. But this past year, there are actually five shows on television that I watch regularly. (Not religiously. Just regularly. I do still have a life. The only one I record if I'm going to miss it is Moonlight. For the rest, I just enjoy them when I have the opportunity.) And then they have a week of cliffhanging Season Finales which of course leave you with a million questions. (CSI, CSI Miami, NCIS, How I Met Your Mother, Moonlight.) (HOLY CRAP WHAT HAPPENED ON CSI MIAMI! I'M STILL BURNING OVER THAT ONE!)

But now they've committed the cardinal sin. Rumor has it that they've canned Moonlight! Seriously CBS. You're just going to leave us hanging and never answer our questions. And that was the best show anyway. Wow. First you get me hooked on TV, now you try and take some of it away. Bad network! Bad, Bad network!

Okay.. You know me. We don't even have TV and somehow I got hooked on Moonlight! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??? Well, now I have no excuse for not getting my church reading done.

Oh I know.....They were concerned for my eternal well being so they canceled the show! Bless them.

Not that I watch Moonlight but there have been many time when I've freeked out over thier st....inking descisions! (I didn't want to use the "S" word...it's out lawed in our family too)
PS I haven't watched CSI Miami in over a year but it ranks rith up there with my favorites! What happened?
I thought I was gonna die when NCIS killed off one of it's main characters 2 years ago...Is that show still on?

Horatio took a bullet on Miami Monday night, you don't know yet if he lived or died. And Ryan Wolf might be involved.

On NCIS, the director was killed and then the new director dismantled Gibb's team.

It's been harrowing.

Hadn't heard about Moonlighting being nixed but there is always hope. Last year I heard Bones was being canceled and it wasn't. (Which I love also) Now with a new job it has been heard to stay up and watch these so....I seen NCIS wow...I think Gibs has something on the director and the team will be status quo. I seen Moonlighting...great episode. And my fav last night a real cliffhanger was Criminal Minds. It showed everyone getting into the same kind of car and then one blowing up. UGH!!!!!! Bad network!!!!!!!! I fell asleep during CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY and I don't watch How I met your Mother. I usually watch the CSI's but must admit I don't like the Horatio character at all. Way to arrogrant. But I am sure he'll make it. Bones got shot last week and they showed the funeral this week and he was one of the servicemen with the rifles...the rest is still unwatched in the DVR. Those our my favs Bones, Moonlighting, Criminal Minds, NCIS....since we're being all confessy and all.

Alas, Moonlight HAS been canceled by CBS. But the fans are campaigning to get it picked up by another network. Come on over to Moonlight United and join the fight!

The best shows always end up cancelled... Arrested Development, Firefly... I'm still upset over those.

You could wait for the DVD release and buy it up, hoping that a post-life popularity will bring it back. Its happened once that way: Family Guy was a show that nobody knew about, got cancelled, then became a hit as a DVD release so they brought it back.

"Moonlighting".. mom cracks me up!

CSI is my fav. but they have gotten to be a bit soap operaish'. I like "The Shield", have seen seasons 1-5 but not 6 which was on TV last year, season 7 will be coming out so I have been dying to see 6 but they don't know when the DVD's will be released!! UGGG soo upset.

Cob....there is a new invention called DVR, I am not sure how it works technically but I do know that you can set it and mysteriously you can watch what you want later. Chase even managed to set it for only the last hour of the 2 hour ending to the American Idol (which I haven't watched yet, so don't tell me). He did this by going to the next show and starting it 60 minutes early.....Smart huh?!?!

And Corey....whadda ya mean...me....at least Moonlighting had this doll of a guy as the vamp...if I could get through Buffy and Angel....you know I am gonna watch a hottie vamp out. Actually I believe Buffy is how I learned to use the DVR. Notice how this comment just went full circle. :)
