    Some of those shows sould absolutely dire
    e.g Work It (Comedy)
    Two unemployed car salesmen (Amaury Nolasco and Ben Koldyke) decide that in order to succeed, they must dress as women to get jobs as pharmaceutical reps. Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen (Friends) wrote the project and will executive-produce. John Carapulo, Kate Reinders, Rochelle Aytes, Kacie Lynch, Kristin Eggers and Rebecca Mader will also star.


    However I am looking forward to

    Bad Mom
    Good Christian B----es! (Anything with Kristen Chenowicz HAS to be good)
    Hallelujah
    Once Upon a Time
    Pan Am
    Revenge
    Suburgatory
    Ringer
    Hart of Dixie
    Alcatraz
    Touch
    17th Precinct
    Alpha Mom
    Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
    Grimm
    Playboy


    No doubt though that most of these will either be cancelled or get just one season and be cancelled. I am getting more and more peed off with the US networks bigging up their shows and then dumping them (Event, V etc). I think I am going to wait until shows get into their 2nd or 3rd season before I start watching them. I have a full season of Nikita to watch. I wanted to wait to see if it got a second season before I comitted to it.

    Ah no. I was hoping they would cancel it as I'm bad on giving up series unless they're axed and I really don''t think it deserves to be renewed.
    F*ck!....United States Of Tara = cancelled, Nurse Jackie = renewed.
    Ah no - I like Tara! I prefer "Nurse Jackie" but would have been happy to have had another season of Tara too. I hope there's no unresolved cliff hangers.

    ITV1 has recommissioned four of its new drama series.

    Vera, Scott & Bailey, Monroe and Case Sensitive will all be returning with new episodes, the channel announced today.

    Vera, which stars Brenda Blethyn as a detective, will return with four two-hour films. Filming has already started on the new instalments.

    Elsewhere, Scott & Bailey will return next year with eight new episodes. The drama stars Suranne Jones and Lesley Sharp as police officers working together in Manchester and picked up ratings of 5.77m for its finale earlier this month.

    The new series of Monroe will focus on neurosurgeon Gabriel Monroe getting used to single life and facing further challenges at work.

    James Nesbitt and Sarah Parish will return to the series, along with two "major new additions" to the cast. However, production on the show is not expected to begin until next year.

    Meanwhile, Case Sensitive will return with a new two-part story based on Sophie Hannah's novel The Other Half Lives. Darren Boyd and Olivia Williams are due to reprise their roles as DC Simon Waterhouse and DS Charlie Zailer.

    ITV's director of drama commissioning Laura Mackie said: "We couldn't be more delighted with the success of Vera, Case Sensitive, Monroe and Scott & Bailey. It's terrific to think we are commissioning the most watched and appreciated original dramas for the ITV1 audience."

    ITV has already renewed its drama Kidnap & Ransom and is working on a new one-off film based on the work of Victorian detective Inspector Jack Whicher following the success of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher.
