If I haven’t said it before, I love the Ausiello report on TVGuide.com. He’s been keeping us updated on how many episodes were left for each of our favorite shows, and now we get to something a lot more fun.
Updated hourly, we’re getting a great list on when our favorite shows will return with new episodes.
I am putting the current list below, but Ausiello warns that most if not all of this information is very tentative and will more than likely change a bit. Since they are updating it all the time, it might be worth bookmarking it, or else check back here every few days when I’ll try to pass on the news to you guys.
The saddest part of this list:
Journeyman
No new episodes expected. Ever.
Well ugh.
Anyways, here you go. Bookmark this link if you want to check it out daily.

Women’s Murder Club
Back on the critical list. I’m now hearing ABC is thisclose to shutting down Club for good.
This season is a huge disappointment. We’ve had a handful of good new shows, but as soon as we get hooked, the networks ran out of episodes. Plus they totally screwed us on all our favs, shows like Heroes, Lost, 24 and others are either chopped up, incomplete, or never got started. The networks dangled just enough new content to keep us watching, then shoved American Gladiators and dancing shows down our throats. You know it’s bad when I have to admit I actually sat through a couple of episodes of Project Runway. If it wasn’t for sports and blockbuster my TV might be a raft.
So now that the strike is ending, we get the ‘promise’ of maybe a handful of new episodes or the notice of ‘see ya next season…suckers!’
Btw, Happy Birthday Mike!
Scott’s last blog post..The Amy Winehouse in your office
Bionic Woman
No new episodes expected. Ever.
Captain – What are you going to do on Wednesday nights now??
NO MORE BIONIC WOMAN EVER?!?!? EVER?!?!? Thank Gods… =)
“Thank Gods”
LOL, nice BSG reference.
Kind of ironic that Starbuck was in Bionic Woman too…
Frak that show!
happy birthday mike!
