If 7th Heaven had been canceled after the first 2 or 3 seasons, maybe. Back then, it was a serviceable, bland but harmless family show. (And introduced us to Jessica Beil-- oh, go away Chris Hansen!) But in the later seasons? Wow, oh wow did that show get bad! Quite possibly the least realistic. least likable family ever shown on television, and I'm including The Addams Family.

Very, very detailed episode recaps here, though:

Ugly Betty. Not a classic or anything, but I liked it!

I've been waiting for Alias to come back to syndication for a while now. About 2 years ago a local station put on a full season of it before replacing it. I assumed it would come back some way or another. For all my complaints about Alias' haphazard writing, it's still good TV. But I finally bit the bullet and started bargain hunting for the DVDs. Got Seasons 1 and 3 for $10 each. I'm angling for good prices on the rest.
I tried to get into Alias, but I couldn't. The whole "Rambaldi as a prophet" thing was absurd. It was as bad as on the X-Files when Mulder kept shrieking Aliens.

One series I would like to see revived is Meeting of Minds. Alas, Steve Allen is no longer with us to host and co-author the show, but if it were done with the same meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy as the original, it would be a dream come true.

Legend of the Seeker cancelled? I really hope not, I love that show. I'd heard that it wasn't necessarily cancelled, but that it may move to another network.

the link suggested that even that move was unsuccessful...


quote ...

"This syndicated fantasy series was having trouble in the ratings, and things got bleak when Tribune -- who own a large number of stations that carried the series -- decided to drop it for next fall. Seeker's producer, ABC Studios, attempted to find other stations to pick up the series, but it was to no avail, and Season 2 will be the last."

My only real issue with Alias wasn't substantive, but in plot execution: how shortsighted the writers were (basically making up crap as they went, they rarely thought ahead nor wrote reflectively based on what had already gone down, and it showed) -- and apparently, I wasn't the only one, as they ultimately ended up pledging to viewers that they had written the full plot for Lost before even starting filming. Thinking ahead is 100x as important when your primary plot device is a prophet who knew your every move hundreds of years earlier.

Even so, it's worth $10 a season to me. If for no other reason than because it's the only spy show ever to have used a spork as a tool of the trade.

Any time there is a program that depends on everyone going, "What the?" (X-Files, Lost) any program that presents a puzzle that happens soon after is bound to be cancelled. Flash Forward was hamstringed by the producers deciding to use a flashforward to April this year, rather than Rob's original premise of several years. It get the series a sense of immediacy, but made everyone go, "Ho hum. The mystery will be solved by the end of the season. So waht?"
