I was wondering what they were going to do about that show. With all the other shows going on the air with shortened seasons, I was thinking they would have to rename the show to "8" if they were gonna air it this year...


Sucks none of the NBC shows will have new episodes till the fall...oh well.

Bionic Woman, you will not be missed.

And just when I was hoping that these networks would get the message that just because ONE series "reimagining" went pretty well (Battlestar Galactica) that it isn't an open invitation to re-tell ALL previous series ever made, because all the other ones done so far suck...I hear about "Knight Rider" airing soon. It just won't be the same without the same KITT voice and without The Hoff. Or without the cheesy 80s feel to it.

Knight Rider was cheesy even back in the 80s. I think that's why I loved it so much.

I heard Val Kilmer was going to do the voice, so that adds, what... a cheesy 90s feel?

Q: What's worse than a show about a talking car?
A: Two shows about a talking car.

I'm of course thrilled to have the Office back in a couple of months. and it looks like the break in Lost shouldn't be too bad. I totally even forget about The Shield, too- that show got pretty ridiculous so should kind of interesting to see how they end it. And I'll suppose I'll watch Battlestar Galactica since they're promising it's the end, but my excitement for that show sure died during season 3.

That sounds about right.

I missed The Shield Season 6, so I need to get it on DVD and catch up before the final season.

According to the Beeb, Kilmer is a late replacement for Will Arnett who pulled out following a row over the film's sponsorship by Ford and his previous association with GM motors.
