I think the only reason it is still around though is because fans become very vocal when rumors of cancellation start swirling. That and NBC is desperate this year, which is why Chuck is starting back earlier than originally planned and will have 6 additional episodes.. yeah, chuck is good.

I thought Kings was only meant to be a mini-series as it follows the biblical story of David. Defying Gravity a lot of potential. I think the networks want to play it safe. Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia had offers from the major networks, but they wanted to change the format. FX wanted the show how it was. Curb your Enthusiasm is on HBO because they can get away with stuff the network won't allow; pedophiles at Seder, pissing on Jesus. I do really enjoy Chuck on NBC, Mondays starting in January.

While it has gotten formulaic over the years, I'm a fan of Hugh Laurie. That's the only medical-themed show I watch. The less thinking you do the less likely you are to change the channel. It seems the networks are on a race towards the lowest common denominator. To be fair, I do like House. While it has gotten formulaic over the years, I’m a fan of Hugh Laurie.

Why do people eat this stuff up?? My parents can never miss House or Lie to Me! Have the networks strategically conditioned audiences to be lazy and complacent and only want to watch predictable cop/lawyer/doctor shows lest they think too hard?
