The good die young and the bad linger like a persistent, annoying cyst…. Yahoo has a list of 39 TV shows that have been axed by their respective networks. Five of them I am really, really bummed to see go bye, bye. But, I am still very happy they were aired at all!

Men in Trees (ABC)

I just love this show! It’s smartly written, a little cooky and totally fun to watch. It was my romantic comedy fix after Sex and the City ended.

As always, I was looking for free sh*t to watch online (that’s not a YouTube video of dancing cats on fire) and discovered that ABC, NBC, FOX, The CW, and CBS now have full episodes to watch of some popular, new and older shows. I started watching last year’s new series “Kitchen Nightmares” with Gordon Ramsay and Cantebury’s Law with Julianna Marguiles on FOX. They’re both great shows and the viewing quality is quite good. But, just like VH1’s show episodes online, you’ve got to deal with annoying commercials. I think right now MTV is the only website whose online episodes are commercial free. I could be wrong.

Unlike the damn awful reprisal of Bionic Woman, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is quite a good adaptation of the original film to the small screen. In my mind, the reason Bionic sucks and Terminator rocks is the same, casting and believability. I was skeptical when I read last year that both the Bionic Woman and Terminator was being recycled and shot back on screen in 2007/2008. This is not to say I had every intention of watching the pilots of both. I’ve been looking for another TV show as good as Alias and Veronica Mars with a strong lead female character kick ass and using smarts instead of her “assets” to get the job done, no matter the job. However, I did initially think to myself, “the Bionic Woman…the Terminator…really, why?”

I was skeptical at first when they brought Jeremy Sisto on the newest season of Law and Order although I love him as an actor. It’s just all there other attempts to make Law and Order at least as interesting as Law and Order Criminal Intent was in its first five seasons, failed. But, damn what a comeback! The first episode of this current 7th season was nothing to talk about. It wasn’t bad, but it did have a bit too much story about Detective Cyrus Lupo’s (Sisto) family. Sure, Lupo’s brother dies and that’s the case that’s being solved, but could I care less about his brother’s widow and the two kids.
