TV news I can't believe...

Guess I'm not jaded enough yet.

Dollhouse has been cancelled. This I sort of saw coming. Plus, when something is moved to a Friday or Saturday night, they can just basically forget it. I've rarely seen an exception to this rule.

The Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency- I love this show! However, I found out it's still "up in the air", whether or not there will be a second season. }:( Hell of a cliffhanger to leave us with don't you think? They could have at least wrapped up the loose ends. Hopefully, if they don't decide to come back for a second season, they can at least have a special that ties up all the loose ends.
Bad enough Girlfriends was taken off the air without a resolution. It's not as if there's an abundance of good Black TV out there anyway, so I feel like we need all we can get, don't you?

TV news that suprised me...

Dollhouse is getting another season. I couldn't be more thrilled. For the most part, I enjoy Joss Whedon's shows and comics. I'm a huge BtVS and Angel fan. Firefly was gone before I really got the chance to check it out and get into it (I'm also more into horror/fantasy. With a few exceptions here and there, I'm not quite as into Sci-fi.), so I'm glad this didn't happen with Dollhouse.

Fringe will also be back for another season. I am starting to get into that. I also think that Lance Reddick is pretty cool. I was very disappointed when they killed his character off on Lost. I think his was a character they could have done way more with. Especially with all the island enigmas that still have yet to be solved.

My Name is Earl has been dropped by NBC. That surprised me too. It can be silly sometimes, but I like it's overall message. It's hard for me to catch, because it comes on at the same time as Smallville ( Yeah, I still watch it. Are they going to drag that out for another season? How much longer will it take for Clark to become Superman? Don't get me wrong. Tom Welling still looks fantastic, but time doesn't stand still...at least not in reality.) , so I usually flick between the two, depending on which is more interesting.

A little of this, a little of that...

Got the results to my CT scan today. It came back normal, but my primary care physician is still urging me to see a neurologist. I'll go as I'm curious to see what he has to say. I'm still clinging to the hope that it's just the combination of my sinus troubles and my fibromyalgia that are making me go through hell.

Regrettably, I missed the season finale of Dollhouse. I'm going to have to hit Hulu, I think.

The season finale of Lost is on tomorrow. The wait for the new season of that show is always hard. I'm twice as sad this time around, because next year is it's last year. But, I'd rather have it end while it's still cool, then have it drag on and become a complete mess.

Did they cancel Harper's Island? It wasn't on last week. I missed an episode and now I'm not sure what the deal is.

Another show I like is The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. I've read some of the books. There are little differences here and there. I like that the TV series doesn't make Precious Ramotswe such a Mary Sue. I feel kind of sorry for Mr. J.L.B. Matakoni. I don't think Precious is leading him on, but I'm not sure that she loves him in the same way that he loves her.

True Blood comes back on next month. I can't wait. I'm starting to like the show better than I do the books.

While channel surfing, I also recently discovered a show called Deadliest Warrior on Spike. The episode I saw was Mafia vs. Yakuza. They had different segments featuring different weapons on each side. Overall, it was predicted that the Mafia had the edge (which I'm not sure I agree with). I say that it depends...For example, they had a fight with nunchaku (Yakuza) against a baseball bat (Mafia). In this particular battle they said the Mafia would win, but doesn't it depend on the conditions being fought in, and the skill of the warrior?
