^ Well, now maybe Kelsey Grammer won't have to take his baby to Playboy parties because he can't find a babysitter.

Starz is way too trigger happy in cancelling their shows. The only big hit they have is Spartacus but they decided to end it after the 3rd season

Technically the fourth if you count the prequel.

And there were extenuating circumstances there with the death of Andy Whitfield. I feel like that kind of ruined the momentum the show had going for it.

The most recent season was still wildly enjoyable though.

I think the fact that Spartacus is ending is only good. I mean we all know how this thing ends. It's not like they have a lot of room. Better to go out while you're on top.

Yeah I agree. Though I'm still skeptical of the new season since Lucretia and Illythia are gone and they were two of the biggest reasons to watch the show IMO.

They will pull it off. It made no sense to keep Lucretia and Illythia as the show moves away from Capua. I'm not worried. They killed off a lot of great characters. It didn't set them back so far.

Downton Abbey has been renewed for a fourth season

"Necessary Roughness" has been renewed for a third season.

I'm glad. It's very enjoyable.

"The Mob Doctor" will air all 13 of its episodes on a mix of Mondays and Saturdays. It's essentially cancelled though FOX is not confirming that.

I can't believe this show lasted this long

^ What's weird is that Fox had a number of promising pilots they turned down in favor of The Mob Doctor.

I think The Following will have better luck.

"Emily Owens, M.D." and "The Inbetweeners" were both cancelled.

"Last Man Standing" and "Malibu Country" were given full season orders of 18 episodes.

Good thing I didn't start either of those. I was interested in both.

CBS has ordered 13 episodes for "Under the Dome" which is based off the novel by Stephen King and will be produced by Spielberg's Amblin Television. The series will air this summer.

Great news. I really liked the book.

NBC will premiere new Jekyll/Hyde-esque medical series Do No Harm on Thursday, January 31 at 10 PM, while Rock Center will move to Fridays.

The Killing is back from the dead and will get a 3rd season.

That will do miserably with such low-rated lead-ins.

"The L.A. Complex" has been cancelled.

ABC has scheduled "Red Widow" to premiere on Sunday, March 10th and "Zero Hour" to premiere on Thursday, February 14th.

This sucks! I wanted them to move "Nashville" so they could move the Tuesday comedies, but it doesn't seem like they will now. And I've seen the "Red Widow" pilot and it's such shit. I don't see it lasting anyways.

Is ABC seriously attempting another unproven drama in the Thursday, 8 PM time slot? Give it up already.

"Zero Hour" is incredibly high-concept too - I don't know what they are thinking. I'm more pissed about giving "Red Widow" the prime 10PM Sunday timeslot though.

Also, I guess none of the Tuesday comedies are going to move at midseason, which is unspeakably boneheaded from all three networks.
