Seriously?!... SERIOUSLY?!?!

My night just got really bad. Three of my favorite shows just got canceled and we're obviously still feeling the effects of last year's writers strike. Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money were some of the best premieres of last fall and they took a serious drop in ratings this year when people forgot about their not-so-full previous seasons along with the little promotion they got this season.

I'm kind of at a loss for words. Eli Stone was a highlight to my Tuesday nights and I so looked forward to every Wednesday when I got to see PD and DSM on the same night. What will I do without Lee Pace and Peter Krause?!

This also raises another serious question: How did Private Practice (which is sandwiched by PD and DSM) escape a death sentence? Are their ratings really that much better? Yes, I watch it and yes it's pretty good, but it still has it's major flaws. I'd choose to watch any one of these canceled-too-soon shows over Private Practice any day. And to top it all of it's moving to Thursday nights after Grey's Anatomy

The plus side of this? Scrubs returns January 6.. for it's final season. And this also gives me some serious free time.

I think I'll go finish my Vampire books now. Woe is me..

I just saw that! Lame!

I haven't gotten to watch Eli Stone this season. It's sitting there on my DVR, but do I even bother at this point? Ugh.

And Pushing Daisies! It's so great. Not to mention DSM. I'm frustrated.

Also? I miss you.

WHAT?!?! I have to say, I'm not surprised about PD. It was a little too "out there" for most television watchers. But I am surprised about Eli Stone and DSM. When are they gone for good??
