The sitcom graveyard - cleaning up season passes

[daperlman]

So I am cleaning out my HR10-250 season passes - what a trip down memory lane. You know how it is, there are some shows like kidnapped for me that I know are canceled - never to return (so I delete them).

But then there are those shows / series that I am not sure about and wouldn't want to delete in case they are ever on again. Here is where I need your help - are these shows ever returning or dead and gone?


CBS- In Justice, Smith
FOX- Stacked
NBC- Conviction, Windfall
ABC- Sons and Daughters
HDNET: Debate, Robbery Homicide, Boomtown
TNTH: Saved
HBO: Big Love, Lucky Louie

[KevinH121]

Smith - cancelled (you can watch unaired episodes on the CBS website)
Big Love - I read somewhere that there will be a 2nd season, but knowing HBO it will be a long ways out.

[DougF]

I'm pretty sure Windfall and Conviction are gone, never to return.

[wouldworker]

Lucky Louie was canceled and will not be back on HBO.

[rkester]

Saved is coming back for a second season after the new year. It was a hit for TNT so they are definitely returning it. Just milking the new season of The Closer for now.

I enjoyed it a lot and anxiously await the new season.

On 4 December, TV Guide's Matt Roush was asked (http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Columnists/Ask-Matt/default.aspx?posting={2764C9E7-9E50-44D1-A764-2B48ACCA5FE7})if the show were coming back and he said that no decision had been made.

Oh, and Stacked is gone...

[daperlman]

This thread has me thinking. If I ever do find myself taking hostages - one of my demands will be that Threat Matrix is put back on the air immediately
:)

[rkester]

Amnesia, let me see if I can find the info I read. I think it was snippets of an interview, it was vague, but did say it was coming back next year. Just did not say when.

That aside, I would think that the following would also back this up:

- All TNT "We Know Drama" promos feature Saved video clips
- On their website, Saved is featured next to The Closer (their big hit of course)
- I want the show to come back or I will cry

See the part I bolded. The show is definitely cancelled now. :p

[rkester]

Right now, I just want them to reair it, or put out a box set! I told friends about it and have no means to share it with them.

I saw a preview on HBO showing what's coming in 2007. Big Love was included. I expect it will air after Rome and Sopranos. Maybe Summer '07.

Don't know anything about Sons and Daughters returning, but I loved that show.

[Bob_Newhart]

Anyone know if "Less Than Perfect" will return?

[Amnesia]

Anyone know if "Less Than Perfect" will return?
The Futon Critic (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch.aspx?id=less_than_perfect) says no.

I have Big Love's return down for June '07 (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=275122), but couldn't place the original source. If I gave it a specific month in that list though, it would have been quoted with it in a reputable source.

[cherry ghost]

This is the best I could find on Big Love

"Albrecht said that as far as returning shows go, Curb Your Enthusiasm will return for a sixth and final season sometime in 2007, and polygamy drama Big Love will come back for its second season next June. Rome will return for a second and final season in January, as will Office creator Ricky Gervais' Extras."

[jimborst]

I don't watch any of these shows so I'm no help there, sorry.

But I have seen nothing on Penn & Tellers BS, Showtime has it listed on the website but nothing about new episodes. They haven't had any new episodes for a while.

[JLucPicard]

According to the "Cancelled-Moved-Replacement '05-'06 Season thread:
http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=254181&highlight=Cancelled+Moved+Replacement

All of the following are cancelled:
CBS- Smith
FOX- Stacked
NBC- Conviction
ABC- In Justice, Sons and Daughters

NBC-Windfall was a summer replacement series that, according to the Futon Critic, is also cancelled (its status didn't make the '05-'06 or ythe '06-'07 "Cancelled" threads, I'm guessing because it kind of fell between them).


I can't help you with these:
HDNET: Debate, Robbery Homicide, Boomtown
HBO: Big Love, Lucky Louie

Futon Critic indicates for "Saved" that it's "on haitus - status to be determined", but unless there's a problem with hanging onto the actors or something, I'd have to guess it will be back as it was (from what I could tell) a pretty big hit for TNT.


Edited to fix the network for "In Justice". Just went with OPs info - that will teach me to check the facts! Thanks, Phox. :)

[Amnesia]

I'm not sure what you're asking about for Robbery Homicide and Boomtown---they are both shows that ended a long time ago. Sure HDNet may be playing old episodes, but no new ones are getting made.

[phox_mulder]

All of the following are cancelled:
CBS- In Justice, Smith

"In Justice" wasn't CBS, but yes, whatever network it was on, it's gone.

FOX- Stacked
NBC- Conviction, Windfall
ABC- Sons and Daughters


Stacked -- cancelled. I happened to check tvshowsondvd.com today and see that there's a Stacked DVD released with 5 unaired episodes. This show wasn't even very good, but still netflix-worthy for the unaired episodes.

Conviction cancelled, windfall cancelled.

Sons & Daughters -- cancelled long ago, but I still have a bunch of them on my non-Tivo recorder -- since I didn't actually think it was all that funny. But might be watchable in the doldrums of summer.

BTW, for shows that MIGHT burn off during the summer, I actually move the SP to the TOP of my SP list. I've got a couple of years old ones still there.

Sons & Daughters was really uneven at first, but as you got to know the characters and the style of comedy they were going for, it actually grew on you. I think there were either 8 or 10 episodes, and while I wasn't a fan of the show after the pilot episode, I found myself really sad after I watched them all, knowing they didn't get picked up (and especially because I didn't know when I'd be seeing Gillian Vigman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0897005/) again). :(

I would think that the following would also back this up:

- All TNT "We Know Drama" promos feature Saved video clips
- On their website, Saved is featured next to The Closer (their big hit of course)
- I want the show to come back or I will cry
Saved has been officially canceled. A new show Heartland (featuring Firefly's Morena Baccarin) will air in its place (from The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ia1286c83ec34a784bdc578924f95802f))

[daperlman]

Watch your mouth
;)

I just found another one I wasn't sure about
Anyone know if Wanted on TNT is still around?

[Amnesia]

Try The Futon Critic (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/home.aspx) for info---just put in the show name in the search box and a bunch of info will come up, including current status.

That's probably the only reason I have Showtime. Well, that's not true. I have it because it came packaged with the Starz channels. But I only watch it for Penn & Teller :)

10 aired, 11 made apparently.
