Exactly. And how can the networks hope to get people to invest in their shows when there is this continual "fear" amongst viewers that it'll be cancelled? I've read lots of articles about that over the past few months, and it strikes me it's only going to get worse. I started watching Jericho - bit formulaic, but quite good, and discovered that's been cancelled after one season (and I don't know how it ended, yet, so don't know if the writers were able to wrap it up or not.) How many of the new shows from last Autumn got renewed? I can think of 30R (and that'll be in trouble if Alec Baldwin leaves), FNL (which I might d/l at some point if we don't get it here), Heroes (haven't seen it, although I like decent sci-fi), Ugly Betty (which I have been watching). I mean, ER and CSI can't live forever - they're going to need something to replace those shows soon!
