Word is that UPN has renewed my favorite new show, “Veronica Mars.” Normally, I am a curse unto all new shows, but not this year. How about your favorites? Renewed? Tenterhooks? Already cast in the trash can of TV history? ---

I was sure because I loved it, and it was smart, witty, and well-acted it was doomed. Thank you UPN! I love you!!! Now if I can just get Fox to change its mind about Tru Calling… ---

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! I was just at a meet and greet of the cast at Cambridgeside Galleria last Friday. So y’all can thank me for its renewal! 😉 ---

The only new shows I like this year are Desperate Housewives and Medical Investigation. I’m pretty sure DH is going to be renewed (season one comes out on DVD on 9/20 ftr) but Medical Investigation is up in the air. They’ve gotta stop murdering Neal McDonough shows in their cribs. ::sigh:: ---

Thanks for the great news about “Veronica Mars”! My husband and I are hooked. Once I mistakenly thought I’d taped over an episode, and the panic and dismay at the prospect of missing one episode would have been comical if it hadn’t been so genuinely alarming. I am about forty years older than the target audience, but good TV shows often span generations. I am mourning the loss of Showtime’s “Dead Like Me,” which is as dead as its titular heroine. And I am such a total Trekkie that I am going to miss “Enterprise.” ---

This is all I’ve found on “Numb3rs,” from TVTome: > [@](#): > > Second Season Rumors? > > Word out of CBS Corporate this past week had mentions of shows up for renewal. Up on the list: Numb3rs. Official talks will start in April with all programming, but with some of the highest ratings in years for a Friday show and being one of the surprise shows of the year to come from CBS to do well, things are looking up for a second season. I’m enjoying this show, too. Rob Morrow is almost as lovely to look at as Sayid. Almost. ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > [cite](http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/06/abcrenewals.ap/) My husband will be happy to see that “Boston Legal” is being renewed. I gave up on it after a couple of episodes, but he likes it. The other show that he likes but I’ve abandoned is “Jack and Bobby.” I doubt it will be renewed. ---

My friends and I call _Boston Legal_ SCI-FI LAWYERS! Since it has Kirk and Odo and that guy from the Stargate movie and some girl who’s on it has sci-fi connections… We down shots every time Spader does that little lip smack thing. So, we watch it drunk, mostly. ---

[QUOTE=pinkfreud] I am mourning the loss of Showtime’s “Dead Like Me,” which is as dead as its titular heroine. /QUOTE] I was bitterly depressed about that one. I cancelled Showtime the same day I heard they cancelled “Dead Like Me”. In fact, when I told the cable rep why I was dropping Showtime, we had about a ten minute conversation mourning the loss of DLM. I’ll miss my weekly dose of Mandy. And I have to give up on my dream of his kissing me on my forehead and calling _me_ ‘peanut’. Sigh. ---

Well, they seem already to have tossed _Johnny Zero_. Glad to hear the news about _Veronica Mars_, though. Either of those would have been good as a single-season, defined-run drama. Too bad that paradigm seems alien to American TV execs. ---

_House_ appears to be safe, especially with its supercharged _American Idol_ lead-in. ---

Looks like “Eyes” is toast. They’ve removed it from the May schedule. Bummer. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Looks like “Eyes” is toast. They’ve removed it from the May schedule. Bummer. Yeah, so I heard. I’m bummed about that one too. I hope thay at least burn off the rest of the episodes durring the summer. I’ve seen a bit of “Veronica Mars” and I liked it. Unfortunately it’s on opposite “House” and “The Amazing Race”. I hear it’s gonna get re-run over the summer, so I’m planning to get hooked then. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Looks like “Eyes” is toast. They’ve removed it from the May schedule. Bummer. Really? Damn. That one was a surprise gem.

So, besides that, everything sucks. 🙂 I also miss Dead Like Me. It’s cancellation prompted me to severely cut back my cable, which saves me $40 a month. Also, season two wasn’t nearly as good as season one. ---

I’ve got my fingers crossed for Arrested Development and EYES. Right now the tea leaves point to AD getting renewed and EYES getting the axe. I can live with that, but I do hope I get an opportunity to see the rest of the episodes of EYES. I’m planning to watch the VM reruns this summer. I just had TOO MUCH TV this season. –Cliffy ---
