I thought The Critic was good, but that lasted three episodes. If I had the time, I could get into 24 or House, but I know they get booted if American Idol needs the slot.

Hopefully the upcoming Dollhouse with Eliza and Joss Whedon will have better luck.

Fans were able to get seven episodes in a shortened second season but CBS did that to get them to stop sending peanuts to their mailroom more than anything else. That had to have been the best show I've seen on network television in a long time. As for FOX shows, the show that I was most disappointed in being canceled, other than <i>Firefly</i> was <i>John Doe</i>. That show had such promise. FOX execs decided that it would be a great idea to end the season with an amazing cliffhanger where the best friend was revealed to have been the main villain the whole time. Two weeks later, FOX thought that it would be best to cancel the show leaving tens, if not hundreds, of angry fans in their wake. And how can we forget our introduction to the lovely, Jessica Alba in <i>Dark Angel</i>? Granted, FOX gave this show two seasons but it could have gone on much longer. It was just another in a long line of examples where TV executives jerked with a show until people stopped watching. Now to <i>Drive</i>. Why promote the crap out of a show only to give it three episodes? That makes absolutely no sense. I guess it just goes to prove my theory that Nathan Fillion is cursed.
