On the bubble no more

At risk shows being picked up:

Private Practice
Life on Mars
Gary Unmarried
Worst Week
The Mentalist
Elventh Hour
Chuck
Life
Knight Rider
Kath & Kim
Fringe
90210
Privileged


At risk and gone:
Pushing Daisies
Eli Stone
Dirty Sexy Money
The Ex List
My Own Worst Enemy
Lipstick Jungle
Crusoe
Do Not Disturb
Valentine
Easy Money


Of the picked up ones, Gary Unmarried and Kath & Kim confuse me the most. Are people really watching these two utterly unfunny sitcoms? NBC is a wash dropping one average show (MOWE) and two stupid ones (Crusoe and Lipstick Jungle), keeping two good ones (Life and Chuck) while keeping K&K and Knight Rider. ABC is dropping two GREAT shows in Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money, one better than average one in Eli Stone (although the roommate's always liked it a lot) and keeping the simply awful spin-off show Private Practice. CBS is only dropping one stupid show but its keep list is all over the place...

Also four of the "saved" shows are imported adaptations. Three from England and one from Australia...

Frazetta

I swear every documentary I've watched lately needs to cut half an hour or more. Did I really need to know about Frazetta's camera collection or his regrets at not being a pro-baseball player? Still, it was nice to learn about his work doing funny animal books in the 50s. I'd love to track down some of that. Or that he did ghost art duties for Al Capp on Lil' Abner for several years...
