I think part of NBC's problem is that they HAVE aired quality, thought-provoking and unique programming, (Southland, Chuck, that one with the actor who played Winters in BoB that only lasted something like 5 episodes) but people just want to watch reality garbage like American Idol, Dancing with the Has-Beens, and Survivor; run of the mill procedurals; and repetitive sitcoms.

Saxman the title for that series was "Life" and I think the actor's name is damian lewis. The show actually aired two years before it got the axe. You can find all the episodes on hulu if your interested.

A show I really enjoyed but is now finished was top shot on the history channel (i think). That was the first reality tv I have watched sence the first 2 episodes of the original survivor.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"

Hilarious show, give it a try.

Agreed.  The writers of that show must have a hell of a fun time on each episode.

I thought it was Life but wasn't sure. I'm pretty sure it didn't last two years. I think it debuted in the fall alongside the second season of Chuck, and most certainly wasn't airing when Chuck's second season returned from the holiday break.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I almost feel bad for not including Its Always Sunny in my post as one of the best new shows on TV.

The first episode aired in sept 2007 and the final episode aired april 2009, so about a year and a half. 2 seasons worth of episodes, acording to the original air dates listed by hulu.

back on topic, Castle and White Collar are fairly entertaining shows.
