Show Status Notes

Boot Camp

Permanent Hiatus

The reality-show boom may have produced some interesting shows, but not all of them could survive (pun intended). We had one glorious season (or maybe that should read "one sort-of- interesting-if- there-was- nothing-else- on-to-watch season"), and got a true reality hero in the balloon-sculpting Yaney, but it turns out that Americans didn't want to read recaps of a show that was only marginally interesting in the first place. Cue "Taps" and give this one a military burial.

Boston Public

Permanent Hiatus

Don't worry, kids. We just know David E. Kelley is going to write a show for next fall about how mean old TWoP sent his high-school drama to Permanent Hiatus. Until then, relive the shootings, the stabbings, the pregnancies, the oral-sex scandals, and the Anthony Heald right here. Or, you could just SMELL THAT SHOE!

Bridezillas

Permanent Hiatus

We stuck with this show for one full season...which is quite a bit longer than most of these bitches' marriages will last. Come on, you were thinking it!

Britney and Kevin: Chaotic

Permanent Hiatus

The days of Cheetos and Red Bull... Parting is indeed such sweet VOMIT! as we wave good-riddance to the slo-mo Amtrak derailment that was the ego-trip called Britney & Kevin: Chaotic. Indeed, if years from now you can't remember what this show was, and reading the recaps you doubt it could possibly have been as bad as it was made out to be, just absorb this tidbit: the show was supposed to be six episodes, UPN crammed the last two together so it could air the reruns of the spectacularly low-rated Veronica Mars sooner.

Brothers and Sisters

Permanent Hiatus

Thank you to ABC for finally cancelling this show after five long seasons.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Permanent Hiatus

Completely improbably, this little WB offering about a blonde teenaged girl fighting vampires and saving the world turned out to be one of the best and most original shows on television. Just as improbably, the show's precipitous drop in quality in the last three seasons made us want to jam stakes in our eyes as well as our hearts. It was the best of shows, it was the worst of shows, but after seven seasons, Sarah Michelle Gellar had had enough, and so had we.

Burn Notice

Permanent Hiatus

Readers were all burned out.

CSI

Permanent Hiatus

Honestly, we thought this show would be bagged and tagged in the first season. And then we figured we were in a grudge match with William Petersen to see who would leave first. Answer: us. So long and thanks for all the gore, CSI! You'll be following the evidence without us.

CSI: Miami

Permanent Hiatus

Although Horatio Caine may be God's red-headed stepchild and the Greater Miami-Dade area's personal crusader for justice, He's also a supercilious blowhard who made damn near every scene on every show irritating. After one season, we'd had enough, hadn't we?

Californication

Permanent Hiatus

We like David Duchovny, but not enough to keep covering a show in which he plays a drunken, hipper-than-thou lech who's supposedly a brilliant writer, but spends more time sleeping with every woman in L.A., including a sixteen-year-old. And that was just in the first episode. He fought, he drank, he showed his butt, he made clever sexual puns, but it only took six episodes to figure out that this thing wasn't going anywhere. Farewell, Pussyman, farewell.

Caprica

Permanent Hiatus

A dark, ambitious and sometimes subversive mixture of cyberpunk, steampunk and Zoepunk that unfortunately failed to connect with either the majority of BSG fans or the general public. Their loss, and ours.

Carnivale

Permanent Hiatus

SEE freaks, geeks, and a story so oblique that it makes David Lynch's work seem straightforward! THRILL to the acting of Michael J. Anderson and Clancy Brown! You'll be ASTONISHED at how dull a show about carnies battling apocalyptic forces can be! Gaze in AWE at the lush production! MARVEL at the interminable pacing and deliberately obscure storytelling! WONDER at all the time characters spend staring at each other! BRACE YOURSELF for a cliffhanger ending that won't ever be paid off, because HBO cancelled the show.

Carrie Diaries

Active

Cashmere Mafia

Permanent Hiatus

One SATC is plenty, thank you.

Century City

Permanent Hiatus

The future is clearly as steeped in mediocrity as this show was. What else can you do with a show that has lawyers doing on or all of the following: grandstanding in front of holographic judges, sexually harassing their co-workers purely for "comic" value, prancing around being genetically perfect yet boring, and being the supporting faces to all of the above but not really ever doing much else? Right, cancel it. So we did. Right before the network canned it. Not even the gadgetry and green power drinks could keep the country's attention. All we can hope is that Ioan Gruffudd gets another job -- one that allows him to use his real accent.

Chains of Love

Permanent Hiatus

There was once a little man at the UPN who looked at the big networks getting good ratings with Survivor, Temptation Island, and other reality shows and said, "We can do that!" Well, they couldn't. Six terrible episodes later, all this little man had was six hours of bad television in which four single people were chained to a single of the opposite sex for three days, an ulcer, and his resume on monster.com.
