Save this show. It is the best one on t.v.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:
According to FOX Entertainment President, the show is likely to be back next season. They've already started staffing, and he had positive things to say about how it ended up doing, ratings-wise. This is good news –
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was one of the best new shows of last season.
Aliens in America and Reaper:
CW President Dawn Ostroff was curt when asked about the possible return of these two shows, simply stating “There's been no decision.” Fair enough, but that sort of sentiment doesn't bode well for their futures.
Reaper was looked at as a potential hit coming into the season and while the show received solid critical acclaim, the ratings did not follow. It's probably gone. The same goes for
Aliens – it'd be nice to have it back, but the future is not bright.
The New Adventures of Old Christine and How I Met Your Mother:
Things are looking good, comedy fans. Just for clarity's sake, here are the exact words from CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler, when asked if she could confirm whether these two series are coming back next year: “I can't confirm, but the last two episodes of 'Christine' did great, Britney (Spears) week did great on 'Mother,' and the next week did great, too. Both shows look good.”
Moonlight:
The series wins its time slot and the fans are passionate. It would be a shock if
Moonlight wasn't renewed. Fans should be at ease. On the other hand,
Cane and
Shark are both long shots to return. In all likelihood, we've seen the last of
James Woods and
Jimmy Smits in one word-titled CBS dramas.
Should Reaper be renewed?
