You wanted the best, you got... Out of Context Quote of the Week. "Yep....and was it really necessary having the woman keep glancing down at his penis?" (Kevintripod)
Canceled: "According to Jim,"
YAY!
"The Knights of Prosperity,"
BOO!
YAY!
I've got to say this is a thoroughly underwhelming lineup, just off of my viewpoint. ABC's probably going to have to find something else to put on Tuesdays from 8-9 in a hurry (thecubsfan, I'm taking the under, as we may be looking at the potential for a shot to pull a Full "Emily's Reasons Why Not", and "Carpoolers" seems to be aimed at the three and a half people that watched "Hope and Faith", which is just sheer genius, and by which, I mean the polar opposite thereof).

| #9 Posted on 15.5.07 1617.02 | Instant Rating: 4.10 | Hmm, so will Lost replace the failed 8PM Wednesday drama, or the failed 10PM Wednesday drama? Neither seem promising, though it would be some nice irony if Pushing Daisies featured an episode about a crazed writer who kept producing scripts about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
Putting the Grey's spinoff up against the Idol results is an interesting move. I kind of think that show is going to fall really flat. None of the Gray's fans I know (i.e. every woman I know) are overly interested in Addison

I'll also take the under on the cavemen show. Looks like it's nothing but LOST for me as well, along with the odd "20/20" when NUMB3RS isn't on.

and that's...probably all I'll watch, since I'm way too out of the loop on Lost to get into it at this point. | geemoney

I'll take the under. Two.
I'll go under that. One-and-done. There is a teaser clip up at http://abc.go.com/fallpreview/cavemen/index?u=0 (though if you don't have a pop-up blocker you may want to avoid it, mine clicked 6 or 7 times trying to play a 30-second clip), and my first reaction was: "wow, this is HORRIFICALLY bad." The press release blurb says that this will be "a hilarious and thought-provoking social commentary on race relations in today's America" And the best way to do this is to put people with bad beards and fake teeth on screen for 22 minutes a week. If this goes over 3 episodes, I may throw my TV out the window on general principles.

Last year ABC brought some fun comedies and canceled them all. Of course, if it means killing According to Jim I guess we can call it even. George Lopez was something I saw a few times and thought it was funny but not funny enough to commit to.
Next Year it's just Boston Legal and Lost for me. ABC has made it fairly easy not to add any new shows to my TV addiction.
My comic updates on Sunday.
