Here it is. So, which of these could count? I didn't watch a lot of them (conflicting entertainment schedules), but a few seem to me like they deserved better, like Alcatraz and The River. What do fellow tropers think?

I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me.

Aww, I really wanted Alcatraz and The Secret Circle to get renewed...I got kinda bored of the Secret Circle toward the middle but it really picked up toward the end with potential for an interesting second season.

I was sad that The Finder got killed. Liked The Secret Circle too but mainly for the babe factor.

Gifted Man got axed, so no more Jennifer Ehle on fridays.

The Firm got cancelled and won't be renewed for a second season. Then again, the minute it got shifted into different time slots and some law suits came up was the minute the death knell started ringing for that show! sad

Oh, yes, and I'd like to take my hat off to Missing (2012). This one got cancelled and won't be seeing a second season. Well, it was fun while it lasted! sadsmile

That lawsuit looks ridiculous. So because one network doesn't want to produce it, you're not allowed to shop around for others? Weird.

I'm surprised that Alcatraz was cancelled. I thought it was on the bubble. It ended on a cliffhanger, to boot. Way to go, FOX. After all, that's what you're good for!

I liked The Finder a lot. But I'm not surprised that that one was cancelled, since that's what I'd been hearing for a while.

I thought The River was a decent show, had potential. It had a lot of scary moments, and the season finale was fantastic.

Why do these freaking networks tease us with good shows, only to take them away because they don't attract the right demo or advertisers or something? I don't know, given that I'm not a TV exec. I still have a little bit of a soul left, after all. smile

I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency

I was thinking that Willa could help Bones. Yes/No?

You mean tying together both cliffhangers? Intriguing Idea...

Booth could go to Walter to find Bones if Max is unwilling to tell him, and in return Booth will use his FBI-Fu to help track down Willa.

They probably won't do it but it has potential

Walter helps Booth out, Booth finds some dirt on uncle Shad and arrests him. Done. Willa explains to Walter how the library computer works, and then Walter builds a contraption that is supposed to represent the computer. Again, done!

That's an unexpected one.

CBS has been pretty ruthless these past couple of years.

Weird, I would've thought CSI: New York would've been the first of the three to get cancelled.

[up]Too many sunglasses-pull moments. Or Caruso got sick of the show, sick of carrying it on his back for a decade.

@ reub 2000: Do you suppose a resolution for Missing 2012 will happen in Castle? After all, both shows occur in the same universe! smile

[up] Sorry. I was just trying to point out that Missing 2012 and Castle seem to be in the same boat with The Finder and Bones. smile

Pity The Finder and The Secret Circle got killed, I liked those shows. I see I Hate My Teenage Daughter got killed too. I was expecting it, but I'm still a little unhappy, I kind of liked that show.

Well, at least Suburgatory didn't die, I thought it might.
