I found this on TVSquad
Here are the shows (on all networks) that media buyers think are in danger of cancellation:
| Four Kings, NBC | Dear God! Please don’t! Yes, Seth Green is a little akward, but please give it a little more time. |
| Law & Order: Criminal Intent, NBC | If Vincent Dinofrio played a better (read: more likable) character, I would possibly want this show saved, but come on, 3 Law & Orders. Enough already. |
| Joey, NBC | Send this one straight to hell. It’s not funny. It’s inanely stupid. it’s a hold over from NBC’s Friends glory-days. Please kill this one. |
| E-Ring, NBC | Hyped as Tom Clancy on TV, saving the US every week. Didn’t live up to the hype and with the bad acting from Dennis Hopper this one should be put out to pasture. |
| Fear Factor, NBC | Gross-out, fear based challenges were cool in 2000, right as Survivor came in it’s own. Now they are just lame stunts that continue to try and go “over the top” of the previous one. Plus, who could like Joe Rogan. Send him back to the frat house from whence he came. |
| Surface, NBC | Wanted to like it. After hearing Esther’s Aunt describe the show as being about “dragons,” couldn’t stomach it. I will try and get an MP3 of the way “dragons” is said. |
| Scrubs, NBC | May the Gods have mercy on this show! I love Scrubs. I know that the same cast has gotten a little dated, but J.D. he’s my TV counterpart/doppleganger, except, I’m not a doctor and he’s way richer… and I don’t look like him. Other than that, we are exactly alike. |
| Stacked, FOX | Watched a Stacked marathon on FX one weekend. I felt dirty afterwards. The amount of cleavage and boob jokes would be great if I were not dating or married, outside of that… stop trying recapture Pam Anderson. Let her roam free through the Hollywood hills releasing embarassing sex tapes, it’s what she’s good at. |
| War at Home, FOX | FOX is edgy, I’ll grant that. But the characters in this show are wholly unlovable. Danny, played by Michael Rapaport, is the perfect example of what a dad shouldn’t be and rarely does he show a redeemable quality. Can this one. |
| Still Standing, CBS | Honestly, never seen it. Never had the urge to try. That might just be the problem. |
| Yes, Dear, CBS | For a year in our first apartment we had not CBS. I might have liked this show, but I can’t get into it now. Kill it. |
| King of Queens, CBS | This one, like Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends, will live on in syndication forever. No seriously, my grandchildren’s grandchildren will be watching it. Time to retire. |
| Crumbs, ABC | Fred Savage. I know you want to shed the Wonder Years. Ya can’t! Plain and simple. |
| Freddie, ABC | A show that takes a Z-list teenie-bopper actor and tries to build a whole series around them might fail. Oh wait, that’s what this one did. |
| Rodney, ABC | My grandfather use to tell alot of Rodney Dangerfield jokes. After a while you knew all the punchlines but you laughed anyway. I think my grandfather might be writing this show. Hmmm. |
| According to Jim, ABC | How many shows on this list have over-weight blue collar men married to good looking women? While Jim was almost a pioneer in the “genre” it’s gotten a little rusty. |
| Hope & Faith, ABC | Did no one smell this as a bad idea when it was first announced? |
| George Lopez, ABC | I like George. If I like him more I would watch the show, but I’m sure he competes with something else on my schedule. |
| Commander in Chief, ABC | Oooh. Edgy. A woman as president. Oooh. There was a movie, the Contender, it didn’t do so well. The West Wing, slowly and painfully dying. Who thought it was a good idea? Really, now. |
