    What's Emeril's show all about. I never cared that much for his cooking show, but I'd imagine he'd be a good comedian.

    BTW...how bad does Joan Cusack's show suck?

    well i've never seen her show but it got renewed for the fall so someone out there must like it. Geena Davis wasn't so lucky.

    Emeril will play himself. It's a backstage look at his cooking show and his life. Will be produced by the duo that brought you Designing Women.

    Am I the only one that thinks a live action version of the tick will really suck?

    So, either she's going to spend a lot of time making jokes about a dot-com that failed before the time in which the show is set...

    ...or it's essentially the same show she was on before.

    Wow, that's some cool stuff. I never watched the Michael Richards show, but it's good to see Elaine, George, and Puddy on the air. Also good to see Ellen back, I was always a fan of her show. Also good to see the X-Files back again, John Doggett ain't half bad. Also Once and Again (one of my current favorites) will be back on, this time on Fridays.

    geez, I plan on watching none of this stuff. [​IMG]

    I wouldn't mind checking out the tick, but it will suck.

    I would also like to see that Star Trek, I'm no Bakula fan but didn't like Voyager at all.

    I probably won't see either though. [​IMG]

    I used to love Ellen's show in the beginning, but I got turned off when they decided to blow up the cast and throw in a bunch of new people. I hate it when sitcoms do that, and that's a major reason I hardly ever watch prime time network television.

    same here BGM. I thought that guy at the beginning was funny then they replaced him with some unfunny guy. The show ended up sucking hard. Too many sitcoms that suck out there now. Too many dramas too. Somebody take dick van Dyke off the air please.

    OMG I'm w/ ya dude. My wife, for some ungodly reason, loves that show. I can't stand it. I was a good husband and gave it a shot (after all, she does put up w/ all my action/horror/testosterone movies), but damn I don't see how anyone could stand to watch it.

    "Young Americans" then "Grosse Pointe" and now "Popular." The WB sucks!

    At least I won't have to decide between "Ellen, Again" and "Popular."

    I'm kind of sad to see The Lone Gunmen go. I was enjoying that series and thought it was starting to hit its stride.

    I'll also miss Nash Bridges. It wasn't the greatest show, but I'm often easily entertained.

    Gil Bellows' show and Kiefer Sutherland's show sound interesting. I imagine I'll give them a chance (even though Kiefer Sutherland is the worst actor of his generation).

    And I'll certainly be giving The Tick a chance.

    Undeclared (From the creator of Freak & Geeks and The Larry Sanders Show, Tuesdays on FOX) will probably be good.

    Hell yes!!! I have been waiting for this show to come back on the air for a long time now. Seth McFarlane is a freaking genius. Between The Simpsons, Futurama, King of the Hill, and Family Guy, FOX has the animated comedy market all but cornered.

    Won't someone PLEASE think of the CHILDREN? I thought we passed legislation outlawing these two a couple of years ago.
