I'm not sure who has seen this, or if it was posted here at fff already or not.

I guess that the fact that I've only heard of the last two is a good reason why they're in this category to begin with?

And I hope Miracles makes it. Is it me or does it seem that any time a show that is anywhere near different is ready to get axed? Push, Firefly, and now they're thinking of killing Miracles.

Am I beating a dead horse here?

Lost Angel, that horse is very, very dead.

It no longer cares if you beat it, so have at it, dear!

I see Mr. Joe Millionaire is coming back for a second season - I think I'm going to go kill myself now....

Has YOUR mom seen Firefly, lately?

If he doesn't, I will! Friends, possibly the most irritating sitcom _ever_, is coming back for another season, too. They pay David Schwimmer more per season to be irritating and make squeaky noises than Fox ever spent on Firefly FX.

Sigh...the only two shows I really loved this season were Haunted and Firefly. And I occasionally watch John Doe. Apparently I have a taste for the damned.

Well, duh!!

But I like to think that I'm part of that small, spirited, overlooked crowd that no one likes because we're just too intelligent and tasteful and classy for the masses.

Oh yeah, and we're modest too!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Interesting article.

I don't really watch that much TV, so I am not familiar w/ most of those shows, though a few I have heard of.

Funny that Fastlane is in the 50/50 catagory. Wouldn't it be a shame if it got the axe too? (please note heavy sarcasm)
