    Will be pissed if cancelled. Fan of this, and was a fan of "V" as well.
    i think v was better so it wouldnt be surprising if it gets cancelled...as for alcatraz i liked it at first but have found my interest waning for this show....as far as network tv this is why i hate to start watching a show...im so glad i tivo'd the river without watching it because i heard it is getting cancelled already

    I stopped Alcatraz after 3 episodes. It was horrible. Im will not shocked at all if it gets axed.

    They need to move it to Fridays and pair it with fringe who's been holding steady since their move. a nice weird scifi-ish tv night. Move ramsey to mondays with his quarterly show now that house is ending.

    The make up show is on next Monday


    Laley, you think Alcatraz is horrible? I'm shocked to hear someone say that. I'm sure you have mentioned before but which shows do you like?

    Justified
    Trueblood
    Shameless
    Californication
    Walking dead
    Breaking bad
    Game of thrones
    Boardwalk empire
    Weeds (getting terrible)
    Curb your enthusiasm
    Hell on wheels (ok season 1)

    I watch a few others, but can't think of them at the moment. Broadcast tv is just not that good. The fcc limitations ruin most all of it.

    It hasn't been cancelled officially, and still a chance it may not be...

    Yeah, I saw they cancelled that this morning --- Glad I didn't invest too much time in it.

    Hopefully they will keep Alcatraz, but it is looking unlikely..

    alcatraz also was cancelled

    Fox cancelling Monday night veteran "House"; and another Monday sci-fi drama, "Alcatraz," under-performing in recent weeks. From what we hear, Fox higher-ups weren't too fond of the show.

    where did you see that?

    TN wasn't officially cancelled until this morning, and the site I follow (tvbythenumbers) lists Alcatraz as 'likely to be cancelled' but with no official word yet...

    Do we know for certain that House, M.D. is ending? It's my favorite show on television. Even if it's not what it used to be during the earlier years, Season 7 was brilliant IMO. "Bombshells," an episode from that season where a booze and drug-addled House leaps from the sixth-story balcony of an Atlantic City hotel room into a pool below, is probably my all-time favorite episode of any drama. Greg House is one of the greatest "dark" characters in TV history, and the show as whole is some of the wittiest and most clever material that's ever been penned.

    F*ck.

    As I said, the show probably should have ended last year. House driving through Cuddy's dining room window and then disappearing to the Caribbean into an alcoholic abyss would have been the perfect ending for the ultimate tragic character.

    Enjoyed the show last night. I take it they just wrapped last week's into one, made it a two hour episode?
  • ernest_t_bass
    Another one that I was pissed they cancelled was Life on Mars. Anyone else watch that?
  • reclegend22
    Since Alcatraz was shown for the entire two-hour House-Alcatraz block last night, do any fans of House have an idea when the missing NASCAR episode as well as last night's originally-scheduled broadcast will be aired?

    Don't mean to hijack the thread. Just thought it fit since the two are closely-connected.

    There are 9 other shows in danger of being canceled. Here is the list.

    I saw that list the other day and got pissed -- they better not cancel Parenthood.

    I loved that show. Definitely canceled waaayyyy too early. Good writing and a fantastic cast. Detroit 1-8-7 is another one of the same vein.
