Oh, why can't this be on Showtime instead.

[The Sleeper]

I didn't even really look at the list, but I'm sure they all suck.

[Galt]

Sleeper, they pretty much all are:

person in unfamiliar surroundings. His or her vast difference from their peers causes madcap adventures filled with ensuing zaniness and hijinks.

or

person in unfamiliar surroundings. His or her vast differences from their peers causes controversial adventures with ensuing heartfelt and gritty personal growth

[PatCooper]

I was watching Entertainment tonight and they said that The Job with Denis Leary was cancelled.

[IkeaBoy]

I read that too Coop but was waiting for ABC to release it's definitive fall schedule to post that. The critically acclaimed The Job is cancelled but ABC gives Daniel Stern another series while his "Danny" was cancelled after two weeks this season. NO JUSTICE!!!

WB has a Family Affair remake with Tim Curry coming and Angel is moving to Sunday. When I find a definitive WB Schedule, I'll post that as well.

[PatCooper]

And i think that show Philly was also cancelled but i never once saw it. Kim Delaney starred in that. And thankfully Millionaire is gone. Hopefully for good.

[IkeaBoy]

Weakest Link is also gone, at least the British Lady version, I don't know if Gay Coffee House Guy version still exists

[PollyannaFlower46]

I heard that they were cancelling Ed...guess not.

I saw on E! today that they cancelled Spin City and Philly on ABC.

ANDY RICHTER CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE

[Arthur Dent]

Birds of Prey has my interest, though I don't think its true to any comic.
I read the novelization of "Batman: No Man's Land". Batman DID abandon Gotham for a while, but so did 80% of it's citizens and the US government. Basicly an "Escape from NY" type situation after a plague and then an earthquake ruined the city (in previous stories). Huntress is in it, but she's not Batman and Catwoman's daughter. And of course, Batman returned eventually.

The part about Barbara Gordon being wheelchair bound is accurate and a really interesting twist to the story. They should really include cameos by Nightwing, aka the former Robin.

This will either suck majorly or be really interesting. Doubt they can do a Tim Burton Gotham City every single week. Probably end up looking like a CGI grungy LA.
