Whew, glad the chance of you landing a network president position are
nil.

--- Seriously, what's worth saving on that list? Either the shows are
creatively dead or have far outlived their reason for being. Name 10
shows out of that 40 [include UPN and WB if you want] that's worth
keeping on for another year.


It's hard to talk about creativity when talking about the reality shows as
they dont have writers.


Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
- Ok theirs certain design team combos I dont watch, any containing Daniel
and Eduardo for example, but give me Tracy, Preston, Paul and Ed and I'll
watch and sometime shed a tear and be very entertained at the end of the
hour or two hours. Creativly they come up with great stuff every week and
from a production standpoint theres a few things I'd change but otherwise a
great show

How I Met Your Mother
- The Only one of three sitcoms I'm still watching. It has a great cast, I
love Alyson Hannigan and Dougie Howser is excelent in the show. Very funny
stuff which has been consistantly good each week. Only in it's first season
and it's obviously been intended to have a long run.

The Amazing Race
- My favourite reality show. If they have the right mix of contestants
then I get absolutly adicted to the show, I'm slightly bored this year as
theres no one who's drawn my support but I'm still excited to see whats
going to happen on the final leg.

Survivor
- Every year is different. some work and some dont. Last year and this
year have both been excelent, great casts and ability to support some and
hate others. Also for someone who's very active online it's a great show to
discuss with people.

The Office
- probably the most successful show to take a British show and make it
good. As a brit I watched the Us version to see how bad it was going to be,
i've been shocked and suprised with how much I've enjoyed the show and would
consider it a better show than the UK version. Great character development
and great writers making this show very funny.

ER
- A lot of people say the show has gone downhill in the last 6 years....for
me the show is my favourite show of altime and even at it's worst it's
better than 90% of the other stuff on TV. Love it and will be devistated
when they kill it. This season has been good save for the inclusion of John
Leguisamo in the cast (who's character and storyline has sucked) but Maura
tierney is still in it and she's fucking amazing.

24
- i worried about this season and it has lagged at points but it's come up
with some great twists and turns and is creative every week. I dont know
how they will pull of next season what with killed off almost every
character I like (and leaving Chloe and Audrey still alive) but hopefully
it'll be back and find something else great for next season.

Veronica Mars
- Veronica Mars has been great for 2 years, good writing, good acting and
good supporting cast for Kristen Bell who herself has been great.

ANTM
- i only watched for the first time last season but i enjoyed the show,
I've enjoyed this season too but again theres no one I'm supporting left in
the competition.

Family Guy
- Great show, very very funny, along with South Park they're both extremely
funny.
