What happened to What About Brian?! I LOVE that show... as do all my friends. So they sign on Caveman and lose Brian. Wow. That's a bummer.

Apparently George Lopez is not happy that his show was cancelled - according to him because the network said it cost too much - before he had a chance to wrap up some loose ends. He actually said "TV just became really, really white again."

Their lineup looks very weak. Can't say I find anything all that interesting.... I read a report from someone who saw the Cavemen pilot and it was reported as being awful. I'll be surprised if it lasts 5 episodes.

"According to Jim is gone, George Lopez is gone, Knights of Prosperity is gone." While Lopez and Knights got the ax, the fate of Jim has not been decided yet. ABC might still bring it back as a mid-season replacement. It is interesting to see a network that once relied on half-hour sitcoms (mostly of the family variety) now practically abandoning it.

Regarding Cavemen, I guess ABC now stands for "A Bad Choice". They passed on an American version of Footballers wives but siad yes to a sitcom based on a commercial? Yikes. I think their winning streak has offically come to a schreeching hault. I'm glad Men in Trees is back though.

Dang it, I want Knights of Prosperity back! (I know, it's wishful thinking, but I liked that show a lot!) I can already tell that I pretty much won't be watching this network at all (which, other than Knights, has pretty much been the case for a while now).

I love not taking a break from Lost, but of course I hate waiting until they're all filmed. :-)
