    AK>  The New TV Season So Far   
      
   I pretty much a few years ago DROPPED adding any new shows to " 'my' lineup"   
   of shows, especially from the US5.   
      
   I am sick and tired of this get all hooked on a show, and YANK! They can it   
   because some dolt 19 year old doesn't watch! I might come back to some stuff   
   if they put 3 years in the can, and a renewal for a 4th/5th is signed, and   
   irrevocable! So in other words, not likely!   
      
      
   I am down to like 4.5-5hours TOTAL among the US5..  NBC, and CW have ZERO! Fox   
   has 1 hour, and it goes away this year since Bones ends. ABC is down to 30   
   minutes... and I wouldn't be surprised if that goes away.   
      
   I actually watch more stuff from ITV, BBC, CBC, Global etc. than I do from the   
   US5 combined!  Things like Private Eyes from Global, and now Shoot the   
   Messenger from CBC.. National Treasure from ITV or is ch4?   
      
   TNT and TBS basically self canceled themselves.. with either the filth they   
   run or canceling shows or the shows just totally going off the rails ie: Last   
   Ship killed off Mitra and the other hotties.. so CLICK! Deleted! It had left   
   the reservation (the book its based on) so to speak any way.   
      
   US TV is in a sad, very sad state, especially the US5.. how many comicdorq   
   shows are there??? How ever many that is too many x10! Not into comics, never   
   was... I liked Batman, and we did that in the 60's! Or reruns for me! :) If we   
   need a Batman show in the air, then dust off the prints, and show them!   
      
   I'll give shows from the non US5 a chance ie: House of Cards, since I ran   
   through the UK originals all 3, before HoC...Same with Night of, aka Criminal   
   Case (2 UK seasons)... Bron/Broen!! The Tunnel which is a UK/FR remake of   
   Bron/Broen, and is EXCELLENT! 800 Words from NZ! Another A++++/11-10!   
      
   Just finished DCI Banks current season, and that they killed off one of the   
   hotties! NOT COOOL!!!!!! Think of it as the Bond Girl Effect... you want to   
   seem me  click delete on a show... kill off my girls!!!! :(   
      
   I doubt in 2 years I will be watching anything from the US5....and I sample   
   tons of stuff from the other sources and delete more than I keep...Bosch and   
   Man in the High Castle, along with Longmire are some of the ones at the top of   
   the list..
