Totally agree with Thomas Mikkelsen. All these shows get made in the States then axed by these big useless idots who wouldn't no a good show if they seen it.These big wigs only want dumb bimbo stars who cant act who make this tarty trash.There are still old Hollywood actors who could put these young stars to shame when it comes to looking dramatic and can cry on screen.Next thing well no is Nashville getting the chop and Ncis Los Angeles.I thought Alcatraz was good.Although the new Vegas is garbage.Preferred the late Robert Urich version.

I'm getting so sick of American TV shows,they are axing all series before anyone starts too watching them,have they for a second considered that they are shooting them self in the foot,if too many series gets axed after 1st season which never has an proper ending but always leaves you hanging then who wants to see a show before the 2nd season is sure to come but that means to little viewers which leaves us back where we started axing after 1st season,talk about an vicious circle

I taught V 2009 was a great idea for a show, its a shame it didnt get another season or 2 to finish it off .

actually unforgettable is now coming back for season 2. also bobs burgers is renewed.
the only cancellation i was annoyed about was are you there chelsea because its laura prepon and she can do no wrong, but natasha leggero ruins anything she touches. allen gregory was the worst tv show i ever saw, i tapped out on 11 minutes.

Alcatraz should not have been cancelled!!! Everyone my friends and I mentioned it to hadn't heard of it- but after being recommended to watch it, they loved it! Just wasn't advertised enough. Bring it back!! :)
