Shows in danger...

| | 1 comments
From TVGuide.com - - here is the most recent info on shows that may be in danger of being canceled.

Brothers (Fridays on Fox)
Issues: This family sitcom hasn't connected with an audience, nor has its timeslot-mate, 'Til Death.

Cold Case (Sundays on CBS)
Issues: Show sources say that this is the final season of Cold Case. It's losing to Brothers & Sisters regularly.

Dollhouse (Fridays on Fox)
Issues: Fox yanked the show from its November lineup. Executive producer Joss Whedon has hinted that the party's over after Fox burns off the rest of the show's 13-episode run in December.

Eastwick (Wednesdays on ABC)
Issues: Is nobody watching TV at 10 p.m. anymore? Not only are Leno's ratings tanking, so are those of his competition.

The Forgotten (Tuesdays on ABC)
Issues: Its title may have become its destiny. Even star Christian Slater couldn't bring eyeballs to the Jerry Bruckheimer drama.

Fringe (Thursdays on Fox)
Issues: It's been consistently fourth in its extremely competitively timeslot (opposite Grey's Anatomy, The Office and 30 Rock, CSI), despite actually posting gains for Fox on Thursday nights over last season. But the relatively healthy Tuesday audience it used to have is shrinking.

Gary Unmarried (Wednesdays on CBS)
Issues: Its ratings are decent, but nowhere near those of CBS' top sitcoms.

Gossip Girl (Mondays on CW)
Issues: Gossip Girl has always done extremely well in the 18-to-49 demographic, but with so few viewers overall, it may not matter.

Hank (Wednesdays on ABC)
Issues: ABC has announced pickups for Modern Family, The Middle and Cougar Town (the rest of its Wednesday-night comedy block), and Hank's absence from that list speaks volumes.


Law & Order (Fridays on NBC)
Issues: It's losing to Ghost Whisperer, and it's been on the air for 20 years, which is about 140 in TV years. If it completes this season, it will tie Gunsmoke as the longest-running drama in history. NBC wouldn't pull the plug before that achievement, would it?

Melrose Place (Tuesdays on CW)
Issues: Yes, the CW has ordered 18 episodes for this season. Two cast members have been fired, and producers say they plan to change direction from the new Melrose Place's dark murder mystery. Will it be enough?

New Adventures of Old Christine (Wednesdays on CBS)
Issues: See above for Gary Unmarried.

Three Rivers (Sundays on CBS)
Issues: Critics hated it, despite their ongoing love affair with star Alex O'Loughlin. And it's getting clobbered by Desperate Housewives.

'Til Death (Fridays on Fox)
Issues: It's never been a ratings barn-burner, and its pairing with Brothers hasn't helped.

Trauma (Mondays on NBC)
Issues: It's an expensive show and NBC has only committed to airing three more episodes and has already announced full-season pickups for Parks and Recreation, Community and Mercy, perhaps indicating those are the network's keepers.

Glad to see none of my shows are on this list. Those of you not watching Vamp Diaries might want to re-think.......the release of "New Moon" can only help the vampire craze.
