I like DSM just for the entertainment.......but this week's story line has become so soap opera outrageous it was kind of a turn off

I agree with you there about Private Practice. I was looking forward to seeing that show, but it really sucks. I tried and tried to get into it, but it's just so blah.

I'm with you on that. I read a lot of books already but the way TV shows are getting the ax I am about ready to wait for them to come out on DVD before I start watching new ones.

A big YAY for that. I never could stand to watch them. But what are they replacing them with?
Now if the could axe thirty something, and most of the reality shows, that would be a start.

Pushing Daisies -- gone?

The reasons to keep cable TV are disappearing one by one. What's left that I watch? Heroes, Burn Notice, Stargate Atlantis, BG, and Psych.

BG is on its final ten episodes (in January), Stargate Atlantis is on its final four. Heroes is facing plummeting ratings and the firing of its writers. Eureka sold out to Unilever/Degree antiperspirant and lost one of its essential characters -- I don't care to watch anymore. David Tennant has left Doctor Who. Sanctuary was decent but has exactly one new episode left and then it's gone. At least Burn Notice and Psych are still going strong (in production right now so not on now).

Other than the occasional NFL or NBA game and CNBC, there's nothing else. I can't stand sitcoms, reality TV, endless cop shows, and prime time soap opera crap. I want my TV to be imaginative, inspiring, thought-provoking, and escapist.

Well done ABC. PD is a casualty of our dumbed down public and the crummy economy. It's too expensive and too intelligent. If it were dumber more people might understand it and it might be cheaper. But then it wouldn't be as good.

Absolute crap reality TV is so much cheaper and they can spoon feed it to the gurgling braindead masses.

It was surprising from the very beginning that a show as refreshing and joyous as Pushing Daisies could appear on network TV. If it were on cable it would be thriving right now.

I agree! I am sick of the reality programming and the networks never want to give the audience a real chance to start watching a show. Plus, some of these shows take a while for the characters to develop. I am surprised that they didn't cancel Life on Mars, too. We figure that we should never start liking a show in this house, as when we do, it gets canceled!!!!!bummer
