The 2nd episode was better than the 1st. I liked it, but I never thought I'd see the day where a guy was beating a dead man with a sledge hammer (blood flying everywhere) and stuffing him in a barrel on network TV.

i haven't watched it yet, but there is an online only episode that is supposed to be even more graphic than that!

i think the show is getting better, but the ratings keep droping :(

Networks Make It a Black Monday

The networks are cleaning out their closets, pulling the plug on their lowest rated shows.

The late Aaron Spelling
The Aaron Spelling era of television is now truly over. The CW has cancelled Seventh Heaven, the last remaining first run series to be produced by the late television creator. The series has the distinction of having been cancelled twice. The show was ended when its home, the WB, was merged with UPN to create the CW, but then executives of the new network reversed the decision and brought it back for another season. This time, the cancellation is likely to be permanent however. If it's any consolation, the departing show has a lot of company, as the networks' axes were busy on Monday: The Wedding Bells, a comedy series from David E. Kelley got some bad news this week. The series was originally an ABC show called The Wedding Album, and Kelley was brought in to totally rework it when Fox got involved. The show had very low ratings, and is set to air this Friday for the last time. ABC's Six Degrees scored even lower; the network brought out the axe for the series this week, and the show will not be returning to the air at all. Despite its pedigree, NBC gave a pink slip to The Black Donnelly's, created by Oscar winner Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco. The show had a 13 episode run, and it is uncertain how many of those episodes will make it to air on NBC.

I agree... this is bad news. It seems like much of the quality television with thoughful and educated writing, complex plots and fresh ideas get axed too quickly (see Love Monkey, ED, Studio 60 (?)) Either way, seeing Olivia Wilde, if only for a few episodes, was better than never seeing her at all. :wink:

Maybe it will do better in June when there isn't any competition. I'm sure they'll be dumb and put it up against The Closer or something that is on during the summer. I'm just glad they are going to show the rest of the season.

I'm sure Studio 60s revival will be short lived.

It'll get ousted by some shitty show like The Great Bingo Challenge or whatever crap the networks feed to the (mostly) retarded citizens of our country.

I wish there was just one channel where all the good "thinking" shows could be shown, while all the morons of the country can watch Deal or No Deal and Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader on the bs networks.
