My Tivo to do list looks like it’s been taking really effective weight loss pills these days. Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies haven’t been on since December and it isn’t looking like we’re going to see the final episodes any time soon. Swingtown was cancelled. There’s been no Law and Order Criminal Intent in forever and it looks like their new season with Jeff Goldblum joining won’t air until spring or summer 2009. Til Death (which wasn’t cancelled, then was and now isn’t again) hasn’t been on in months. Starter Wife’s season just ended so it won’t return for a while. In Plain Sight isn’t supposed to be on again until summer. I have no idea when MVP will return to SoapNet. The list of shows seems to be getting smaller every week.

This past week’s episode was awesome, I don’t know how it is that ABC doesn’t think this show is worth keeping on. Yes, it’s a night time soap, a drama. But the actors on there do a great job. I especially love the men. Peter Krause is awesome as Nick. He gives his character such balance and patience, he keeps his cool through it all. I’m not familiar with his work prior to this show but he’s quite talented. Billy Baldwin does the best job as Patrick. I’ve loved Billy since I first saw him in the movie Sliver. Donald Sutherland is awesome as Tripp Darling, he has a presence and talent that make him perfect for the role.  Blair Underwood as the mysterious rival and bad guy Simon Elder is an example of perfect casting. I want to know how they’re planning on wrapping everything up? They can’t just let it end without answering questions for the fans. There’s things we need to know, one of which is who killed Dutch. If you’d like to help try and save Dirty Sexy Money there is at least one online petition going here.

Apparently the list of primetime shows that I like is going to look like it’s been given diet pills in the near future. I found out today that ABC is not ordering new episodes of two of the shows I really like, Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies, as well as a third show Eli Stone. ABC is not saying the shows are cancelled at this time, just that they’re not making new ones. I am so disappointed because I like both and some interesting storylines were building on both. I hope ABC reconsiders its decision.

I loved this show last season! It’s got a bit of everything in it. They did a terrific job casting all of the characters, and I think the interaction and chemistry between them all is great. We haven’t had a new episode since December, so I’m betting everyone will return looking rested and like they’ve been on one of those fancy European cruises. I want to know why Simon and Karen are meeting. I think Brian would fit into the Darling scheming corporate world well now that he’s been disbarred. And will we find out what happened to Carmelita? Lucy Liu is joining the show as an attorney, I wonder how they’re going to tie that in.

Let me start by sharing with you shows I currently watch every week. I have a season pass set up on our living room Tivo for most if not all of them. Tivo’s season pass allows the viewer to schedule all or just some episodes of a tv series. This list doesn’t include what we watch occasionally, anything we watch on a whim , movies or news - it’s just current recurring series.
Soaps. I only watch ABC soaps. All My Children, One Life To Live and General Hospital.
Comedy. Til Death.
Drama. Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Law and Order Criminal Intent, ER.
I just started watching these shows this season. Some are new, one is not. Two and a Half Men, Pushing Daisies, Gossip Girl, Dirty Sexy Money, Big Love, Burn Notice, The Dead Zone.
