    Sadly, the actual concept of the show would clean house with female viewers if it was done right.

    Its like the flick Enchanted. Bitches love Enchanted.

Or the next. Then the network says the show is being put on hiatus and the next episode will air in March. March comes, nothing. Then a few months later, the official announcement that the show is canceled.
      Networks do this to hedge their bets against mid season replacements and such.

      Sometimes they won't officially give a show the ax, just in case they need to use it as filler later.

      Let's say "Miss Match" is doing a 3.5 or whatever, something borderline, and they decide it has to go. So they yank it after 10 episodes, but they still might have 3 left in the can. Come March, if the wacky new Wanda Sykes vehicle is doing really bad, like 1.5 bad, they can yank that shit and just throw the remaining "Miss Match" episodes on to finish up the season.

The only 2 shows i've actually given up on right now are Ringer and Prime Suspect. The Playboy Club, 2 Broke Girls, Pan Am and Charlies Angels I do like but do realize they wont last long, TPC already out. The shows I feel are more promising are Person of Interest, Terra Nova, and Homeland.

        Also, dont know why, but I recently decided to start watching 30 Rock, and it has some good laughs, but still dont like Tracy Morgan
        2 Broke Girls just got picked up and is a virtual lock to be back next season. It's a hit.

        Pan Am slipped this week but still did over 7 mil, I would say right now it's safe. It's a critical hit and will get chances.

          My girlfriend loves PanAm but I haven't seen any of it. Is it any good? My summation based on the promotional material is that the women aren't hot enough or interesting enough for me to watch.

            I don't like it, and based on what I know of your tastes, i'd pass.

              Haven't watched any of it, but most of my friends with decent taste in this business despise it. They claim it to be a poor man's Mad Men, which is already a poor man's version of The Hour.

                I watched the Playboy Club. That one was destined to die the moment it was conceived on network TV. As has been stated, on HBO or even FX, it would have been sweet. I liked the setting and that, but the characters didn't resound at all. They took the wrong approach in having the big "mobster dies and we have to hide it" moment at the begining and trying to build characters around dealing with it. Should have built towards it.

                      Outsourced was one of the worst shows I ever saw advertised.

                        With 'Party Down' they really had no choice because most of the cast took higher paying gigs.

                          You could just watch Mad Men, it's the show that Pan Am is blatantly ripping off stylistically...
                          Mostly the women, I've had a crush on Amber Heard for the past few years, and even though she cant act and has gotten naked in movies, I just wanted to see her in a playboy outfit, as for Pan Am, its mostly Dal aka Sharkweathers fault, lol, I initially thought it looked pretty stupid, but after talking to him I decided to give it a shot, the pilot wasnt all the great, and story lines a bit confusing, but I thought it could get better. As for Homeland, i've only seen like 2 things of Damien Lewis, Dreamcatcher and Life, I liked both, and thought he would now have a good chance to really show his acting ability, and just from the pilot it was good, plus seeing the chick from V topless was nice too.

                          I watched a good numbers of episodes from the first season of Mad Men and I just couldnt get into it. I do like Jon Hamm, but just thought Draper was rather boring, maybe I can give it another shot.

                            Hank Azaria vehicle 'Free Agents' has been cancelled after four episodes.

                            Reruns of 'Whitney' will air in its place.

                              I watched the 'Free Agents' pilot and there was absolutely nothing that made me want to watch the next episode.

                                I couldn't even finish the first episode. I lasted about 12 minutes and tapped out. The show was horrible.
