Omen 666
Not sure if it's necessary to remake a classic like Omen, but they are doing it.
That kid is creepy.

Brick
Modern-day noir drama that thrilled them at Sundance. Brick looks pretty tight.
Next Great Prime Minister
This has to be a joke. A new reality show where Kim Campbell, Joe Clark, Brian Mulroney, and John Turner all decide which contestant would be the Next Great Prime Minister.

To Jail!
Y'all hear about original Survivor winner Richard Hatch? Seems the jury didn't buy his 'I thought Mark Burnett and Co. would pay the taxes on my winnings' line of defense. He now faces up to 13 years in jail and a $600,000 fine.
Just a warning to any reality show wannabes out there -- pay your taxes!

Welcome to the Dead List
The Dead List is a new category here where I'm moving all the shows that we liked that were cancelled, the shows we thought were okay but didn't have time for, and the shows we tried and just couldn't take.
Threshold: Saddened
I hoped this show would be good enough to keep Karen Sisko and Data working, but it didn't hold up to the ratings war.
Sigh. I liked it. Dead List.
Invasion: Missed Out
With so many Sci-Fi/Mystery shows this year, we had to take one off our schedule. Invasion was it. Seems to be doing well though. Maybe we'll catch it in reruns and bring it back from...
...the Dead List.
Everybody Hates Chris: Blargh
Insufficiently funny or original. An early casualty in this year's watch list.
Moved to the Dead List.
Ghost Whisperer: Faded From View
Nice enough show (Lisa really liked it) but too much else was better and Jennifer Love Hewitt is too cloying for large doses.
Moved to the Dead List
Commander In Chief: Just didn't get it
Moved to the Dead List. We enjoyed it somewhat, but it was just too much family drama. We watch shows like The West Wing because we like the drama of people in high pressure jobs. Commander In Chief was just too fluffy, and too much else good was on.
Seems we're not alone in our feelings. Despite Geena Davis' Golden Globe, the ratings continue to drop like a rock.

Early Cancellations
According to CanWest news service this morning The Book Of Daniel is most likely cancelled, having failed to win a spot on NBC's announced Spring schedule. Joey also hasn't found a spot, although NBC isn't saying if it's gone.
Scrubs is getting a permanent home, but it ratings don't get better, it will also likely be cancelled.
And it has been announced that this IS the final season for the West Wing, and that the decision was made before the death of John Spencer in December. Expect a big finale on May 14, followed by a one-hour retrospective.

Hard Candy
This one is creepy. Once you get past the whole Internet stalker part, that's when it gets really scary.
