Re: ‘Moonlight’ Fans: As Jilted as Les Moonves’ Ex-Wife Without the Alimony?

Steinmiller — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 05:11:01 -0000

Elizabeth Reaser(Grey's Anatomy)is a great actress but her show "The EX List" looks absolutely dreadful and uninteresting. CBS is too stuck in their ways and will never accept the fact that people are just getting tired of the same old tv shows formulas and want something fresh and different, which is what made Moonlight so much more appealling. On a side note, does anybody else think CBS's line-up of new shows looks incredibly weak this time around?

Screw watching TV, Get a DVR and watch what you want when you want.

Its one thing to cancel a show for poor ratings but Moonlight was winning its timeslot each & every week based on the information I read, just another case of a network not caring about the fans and only worrying about money.

Re: Fox “On The Bubble”: Back To You, ‘Til Death, New Amsterdam…

FOX gets the best new shows almost every year and they usually plug them to death but once they start slipping in the ratings just a bit they are almost immediately cancelled or thrown into the dead zone(Friday Nights). What happened to giving shows a chance to find an audience or moving them to a different night to improve ratings & viewership?

I can't believe that Kid Nation isn't coming back either - as far as reality competition shows go, this was actually entertaining and fun to watch. CBS you are the new FOX - Cancel The Good, Keep The Bad.

American Idol sucks!!

Re: It’s Official: CBS Passes on Moonlight

CBS cancelled 3 out of the 4 shows I watch on their network:

Moonlight
Shark
Cane

I am done with them as a viewer.

I'd prefer both Moonlight & Cane return but if I had to pick between the 2 then Moonlight is my pick.

Re: Fox “On The Bubble”: Back To You, ‘Til Death, New Amsterdam…

I'll miss Back to You, I thought it really improved entertainment wise and the episodes were finally becoming funny. As for 'Til Death, I was kind of mixed on the 2nd season some eps were good while others lacked - hopefully it gets back to form come Season 3. The Return of Jezebel James(to my surprise)was actually pretty good but of course FOX pulled it before it could find an audience - predictable from idiots. I like Julianna Margulies but Canterbury's Law was damn near unwatchable - I usually love lawyer shows but this was extremely hard to sit through(thank god for DVR). New Amsterdam was my favorite new show on FOX this year and it will be a shame if FOX doesn't rethink their decision to cancel this show, it has loads of potential. Out of the likely to return list: Prison Break and Kitchen Nightmares are 2 shows I definitely want to see back as for the other 3 programs - put them out of their misery(especially Bones - David Boreanaz is the only good thing about the show). I'd be open to seeing Unhitched get a 2nd Season - Why should Sunday Nights on FOX be dominated by Animation only.

Re: Private Practice: Renew or Cancel?

Steinmiller — Thu, 15 May 2008 05:59:53 -0000

As a GA fan, I've been utterly disappointed with PP. The first thing that I hated about the spinoff was the casting change: Merrin Dungey was great as Naomi in the Back Door Pilot(that was shown on GA)but Audra McDonald is just terrible as Naomi on PP. Another thing that stood out was the personality changes of each character from the first pilot to PP - Dell(Chris Lowell)was a stud in the pilot then became a nervous nerd on PP, Sam(Taye Diggs)was confident & new what he wanted but on PP he was a chicken and not sure about what he wanted, and finally Addison was a sexy and smart doctor who then morphed on PP into a whiny, flirtatious redhead who secretly wants to be a blonde. The PP pilot was just plain bad and the changes hurt the show more than anything else. I honestly don't agree with ABC's decision to renew it - if they were smart they would cancel this show and send Addison's ass back to Seattle Grace.

Re: Journeyman: Renew or Cancel?

Steinmiller — Thu, 15 May 2008 05:40:55 -0000

Journeyman was a great show and I blame NBC for its failure - Heroes should have flipped timeslots with JM - make the fanboys stay up later to catch their precious heroes and snag new viewers & ratings for JM at 9pm, its amazing how stupid networks are these days.

Re: Reaper: Renew or Cancel?

Steinmiller — Thu, 15 May 2008 05:34:27 -0000

As a critic, I expected to hate this show(especially after I saw the commercials for it before it debuted)but a funny thing happened: my hatred turned to love - Reaper deserves a 2nd Season.

Dear CBS,

What happened to "Cane"?

yours truly, Dan Steinmiller

P.S. - 1st: The Class, Then: Moonlight... If you cancel Shark - I'm done with you as a viewer and you can stick your ratings where the sun don't shine.

Re: ABC 2008 Fall Schedule vs. 2007 Fall Schedule

Steinmiller — Thu, 15 May 2008 05:24:30 -0000

Cave Men & Carpoolers were beyond terrible, they were atrocious.

Big Shots may have done terrible in the ratings but man was that show entertaining - I don't understand why ABC didn't move it to Sundays and pair it with Desperate Housewives(as you can see I'm not a Brothers & Sisters fan).

I'm pissed at ABC with their treatment of Men in Trees - if the show returns they need to put it on and leave it alone. The constant shuffling of this show's timeslot was beyond ridiculous and explains its ratings - If people don't know when the show is on how are they gonna be able to watch it, ABC?

Don't get me started on Women's Murder Club - ABC should be ashamed of themselves for cancelling it.

Veronica Mars, and now Aliens in America.. This is why I hate The CW/WB.

What is the matter with all these networks? Friday Night is considered a dead zone in the world of Television and yet the network heads are worried about ratings on this night which they honestly don't care about - pathetic. Moonlight is 1 of 4 shows I watch on CBS - Why? because its entertaining and it is so much different from what they normally show on their network: so-so sitcoms and crime dramas. Honestly CBS, why cancel Moonlight(one of your best new shows in years) - when its on a night neither you or the other networks give a damn about, seriously?

Re: Women’s Murder Club: Renew or Cancel?

As a man, I'm usually not a fan of these types of female empowered shows but as a tv fan & critic - I absolutely enjoyed WMC. The first few episodes were rough but it always had a consistently rhythm with each and every new episode. I've never be fond of Angie Harmon but I was blown away by her portrayal of this female cop, she's both tough & sexy(as is newbie actress Aubrey Dollar - wow is all I can say). I don't understand why ABC isn't renewing this show if its constantly winning its timeslot - then again what do networks & their network heads know: Cancel Good or Great Shows, Renew Bad Shows.
