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.

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 like the show Pushing Daisies. It’s one of the shows I have a season pass for. I saw one of the commercials for the upcoming new season and got to wondering this. As viewers know Ned can’t touch Chuck or she’ll die again. But last season we saw them manage touching by Ned wearing a protective suit. You don’t have to be involved in futures trading to know that sooner or later they’re going to find a way for them to have sex.

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.
