Song of the Day: Groove Coverage - God Is A Girl

In the span of five minutes, I discovered that two shows I watch were just cancelled. Ouch.

Third Watch will be ending its six year run this season. While I can definitely see how it's gone downhill (Faith's promotion to detective showed the show was scrambling to compete with CSI, Law & Order, and the like, and the complete disappearance of firefighters made it a show about cops and paramedics - quite a strange combo), I'm going to be annoyed if they aren't able to tie up all the loose ends or give hawt guy Jason Wiles more acting jobs so I can continue drooling over him.

Point Pleasant was suddenly axed in the middle of its first season. I don't know why no one watched it, because it came on right after The O.C. and it was simply The O.C. Supernatural Version. Now I'm suddenly left wondering what happens; any chance of Fox pulling a Firefly or Wonderfalls and giving us the full season on DVD? Please? The biggest kicker is that Fox actually approved of and is airing that Life On A Stick show. If I can tell just from the commercials that it's about a -10 on the quality scale, who the hell is making the decisions at that network?

Just my luck, both Scrubs and Arrested Development will be kicked out the door next.

I hadn't heard about Third Watch. :( Even with the changes, I still really like the show.

Tania - I saw it on tvguide.com today, much to my disappointment. I still really like it too, and I'm wondering when someone's going to realize putting it on DVD is a really good idea!

Scrubs will stick around because it's on NBC and the programing people there smoke less crack than the people at Fox.

I'm surprised they didn't move Point Pleasant to the Friday night time slot before killing it (like they did to Fastlane, Brimstone, Firefly and Boston Public).
