The Event?! Dammit no!
I watched the first few episodes of The Wire when BBC2 showed them, it didn't grab me. I'm rather enjoying The Chicago Code so far though.

A few obvious and a few what the hell on there. It's constantly updated which is nice.

outsourced, has its moments but is generally rubbish and comes across more racist than funny. It wasn't ever going to be good with a second or third season, there were a limited number of "whats with the head bobbing" racist/culture jokes to make, and they made they all by about the 3rd episode. They've done the train ep, and now the wedding ep, theres no where for it to go except back to the office and to repeat what they've done.
Chicago code was horrible, admitedly I only watched one ep but its the classic rubbish idea of new cop running things in a daft way and making enemys, its old as hell in terms of idea and weak weak cast.
Lie to me sucked balls, Breaking in was hilarious....ly bad, like, awful, hot woman whose actually a good actress given an awful role. Slater was great in, the last thing he did, horrible role, the lead is ok and has been in some funny stuff, and the black guy was painful to watch. Breaking in was actually a good premise and would make a great "real" show even with almost entirely the same cast, but they went for slapstick stupid rather than a gritty real show.
Traffic lights is very good, no idea why Fox canceled it, Fringe is very good, but expensive, though I'm unsure if they put it on Fridays to kill it, or to bolster Friday nights. Kind of like Smallville, its been cack for 7+ years, at some stage they moved it to Fridays not to kill it, but to give Fridays a solid base for a few years to try to build it up.
V is shocking, from the lead woman who can't walk properly, heavy CGI(mostly awful), truly horrific Aussie guy, the son who can't act for crap, the never ever works cameo from the original and the in general awful acting throughout.
THe original V was actually good, and had loads of bad actors, yet worked, the new one somehow just doesn't work at all.
Of all the cancelled stuff, only thing worth saving is Traffic lights, a genuinely funny comedy, Fox do tend to get confused(as do a lot of their audience) without a laughter sound track though "where do I laugh, is it funny?" .

Season 10 was always the end of Smallville I watched it for 10 years so will be sad now its gone but was a good finale.
Sigh...The Event has been particularly awesome in recent episodes so it's disappointing to hear it won't be renewed.
No more Human Target either...for shame. I liked how Winston and Guerrero had come to the fore a lot more in the 2nd series as they were both great characters. Although I suppose things did end in a fairly neat fashion so there's no huge cliffhanger waiting to be resolved.

The Event was getting good I thought.... sorta added elements of scifi/aliens and politics from 24/Lost and scifi....
Could have been a winner of show really but as usual it gets cut, me thinks they need to start charging £1 to download an episode of any show/series.... and at the end of it you get to download the bluray season

the event should have been called "nonevent"
Falling Skies premieres in July i think.
ABC has picked up Once Upon A Time which has Robert Carlye (SGU) in it.

I believe Wonder Woman has been dropped before it even started. (http://wonderwomantv.com/)
