Show	Status	Notes
Samantha Who?	Permanent Hiatus	Forgettable.
Scrubs	Permanent Hiatus	Time for us to scrub out.
Secret Circle	Permanent Hiatus	Kevin Williamson's take on vampires created one of The CW's most compelling dramas ever. His take on witches? Not so much.
Secret Diary of a Call Girl	Permanent Hiatus	Dear diary, they liked me better on Doctor Who.
Sex and the City	Permanent Hiatus	This stupid, fluffy, and sometimes stale "comedy" with the shelf life of an open bag of chips on a rainy day made a heroine out of a neurotic, skinny shrieker-monkey who had bad affairs for reasons inexplicable to her three mismatched friends, Slutty, Prissy, and Bossy. Long-term plot "questions" were resolved neatly in the finale (Charlotte got a baby! Samantha found love! Big's name is John! And Miranda's heart grew three sizes that day!), but no one ever answered the questions of what wardrobe wrangler Pat Fields was smoking and whether she soaked it in formaldehyde. We didn't like the show, really, but sometimes we did. Mostly, we rolled our eyes so much that our drugstore mascara left marks on our brow bones, and thanked the stars above that we never, ever left the house looking like that.
Shameless	Permanent Hiatus	Despite William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum's performances, we're not ashamed to say we preferred the original UK version.
Shear Genius	Suspended Animation
Simple Life	Permanent Hiatus	FOX took what could have been a mildly entertaining concept (two wealthy socialites try to make it in rural Arkansas) and ran it into the ground by putting episodes on nearly every night and cobbling together extra episodes out of scant new footage. The people yawned.
Six Degrees	Permanent Hiatus	There once were six strangers, whose lives were somehow intertwined. Mae, Carlos, Whitney, Laura, Steven, and Damien would all end up affecting each other's lives and making a difference -- or so we heard. Word on the street is that the show really picked up around Episode 5, but the flaw in that plan is that no one would be watching after Episode 2. And so, while ABC continues to follow their touching and heartfelt stories, TWoP bids adieu to focus on shows that people actually care about watching.
Six Feet Under	Permanent Hiatus	After five seasons, 63 episodes, three regular recappers, and more onscreen deaths than we care to count, HBO and series creator Alan Ball laid to rest this corpse-opera about the fabulous, funereal Fishers and the fouled-up folks who tried to love them. That's right, the show's dead and buried. In the ground. Tits-up. This, to coin a phrase, is an ex-show. But you can still dig the recaps.
Skin	Permanent Hiatus	The utter failure of the show that couldn't fail. Premiering to vast hype after the must-see World Series of 2003 (go, Marlins!), this Bruckheimer-produced spectacle was built for a FOX demographic. People, it was about porn. Ron Silver played the dad of a beautiful blonde girl who falls in love with the son of Silver's arch-nemesis, the eeeeeeeevil District Attorney who wants to put Silver behind bars. But even a cavalcade of impressive guest stars -- well, just Sydney from Melrose Place, actually -- couldn't get the viewership above four million. Which is, like, the number of people who watched syndicated reruns of The Nanny two hours earlier on the same network. Actually, it's fewer than that.
Smallville	Permanent Hiatus	Less than super.
Smash	Active
So You Think You Can Dance	Active
Sons of Anarchy	Active
Sopranos	Permanent Hiatus	Six seasons of laughter, pain, therapy, gangland executions...pretty much the same stuff David Chase gave us in I'll Fly Away and Northern Exposure. It was a crazy, critically-beloved ride -- but then, should we be referring to it in the past tense? There could still be movies! Don't stop! Believing!
Sorority Life	Permanent Hiatus	Because the world was clamoring to see what went on inside a sorority house, the great Sergio Myers created Sorority Life. Because what we found had no resemblance at all to our fantasies, no one watched. Though the cat-fighting and back-stabbery that came with girls desperately trying to become the Queens of Davis, CA and Buffalo, NY was at times amusing, it wasn't enough to keep TWoP recapping the thing. Goodnight, Maggie's Gigantic Boobies of Hatred, wherever you guys are.
Sports Night	Permanent Hiatus	ABC never seemed to know what to do with this half hour, by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Was it a comedy? A drama? Certainly the network could be blamed for a couple of bad decisions, like imposing a jarring laugh track early on and never giving the show a regular timeslot. After two seasons, ABC cut the show loose, but it'll live on in our hearts forever.
Step It Up & Dance	Permanent Hiatus	Step off.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip	Permanent Hiatus	Aaron Sorkin came back to network TV to save it from itself. At least, that's what he told us in the pilot. Unfortunately, years of watching "illiterate" reality programs had left viewers enfeebled and unable to watch his new show correctly. We kept expecting the lauded sketch comedy show-within-the-show to be funny, for example. We can be so stupid sometimes. Sorry, Aaron.
