Better Off Ted has got to be the stupidest show ever made…next to Circus of the Stars, which I believe the geniuses of ABC are also trying to rebirth.
I wish ABC would renew The Unusuals, but I doubt that’ll happen. I don’t know why I bother watching TV shows when they premiere because then they always get canceled when I get involved in the story.
Glad to hear about Castle and Better Off Ted. I like Castle mostly because of Stana Katic. Though the relationship between the two main characters seems at first a poor carbon copy of The Mentalist, I do enjoy her take on the character. As far as Better Off Ted, the show is freakin’ hilarious and I look forward to every new episode. I hope they don’t change a thing because it’s perfect just as it is.
I don’t want V!I want Elizabeth Mitchell back on LOST season 6 with Juliet alive.
I can’t stand what they did to Juliet. It’s the worst thing I have ever seen. She was all alone in the hole. That’s horrible!
YAY! LONG LIVE CASTLE!
They renew Castle and cancel shows like Eli Stone and Pushing Daises? ABC doesn’t know what they’re doing.
CASTLE!
I am one veryyyyy happy girl right now!
They should of left Scrubs go. With the format change and new cast it won’t be the same. Plus they gave it a perfect series finale…why ruin that.

I like Castle but I agree Eli Stone should have been renewed

Booooooooo! As a fan of Scrubs I am terribly disappointed. The show ended with such grace and humor, it’s shameful to bring it back. This is going to be the television equivalent of Willie Mays with the Mets, Joe Naimath with the Rams and Michael Jordan with the Wizards. Each hung on to long, Jordan specifically spoiled a perfect ending with an unnecessary comeback and that is what is now happening to Scrubs. It was a championship level series close and now they are limping back on to the schedule, old, battered and broken and likely cancelled without fan fare within 3 weeks this fall. Shameful.
Yippee! I couldn’t have seen better news today. I love both Castle and Better Off Ted! Great decision ABC. It still doesn’t quite make up for Pushing Daisies but at least you haven’t disappointed me yet again.
Thank you ABC for renewing Castle. I absolutely love that show. For those of you that did not like the way they did Juliet. Well I kinda liked it because she technically did not get killed off. Everybody ended up dying. So she may come back with everybody else. Team Juliet all the way!!!!
I’m glad about Castle and Better Off Ted, two of my favorite new shows this year. Scrubs…while I loved the show, the finale was a great way to end it, and I’m just not invested in the new interns enough to even learn their names. I know that J.D. calls the crabby one “Jo,” but that’s it. LOL at “AfterScrubs!”
I just wish that Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies could have been retained, too. Losing those shows, and knowing that they ended without resolving things in a satisfactory way, still hurts.
SCRUBS!, i think the show wasn’t ready to end!, we all wanted more and more scrubs!, but they aired the finale too early. They knew ABC wanted another season and they still went for it.
We all LOVE “JD” and without him Is like the Oprah Show, without Oprah. It just doesn’t make sense. But let’s see. Still a fan and i’ll support this amazing cast til “the end”.
I just dont want them to ruin that amazing ending!
UGH. ABC is such a JOKE. Renewing Scrubs for another unnecessary season while they just threw a gem like Pushing Daisies under a bus. I refuse to watch another show on ABC again. I’ve completely stopped watching Grey’s Anatomy and Ugly Betty, and many of my friends are doing the same.
