New Season Dead Pool

It's the new TV season and we all know what that means, don't we?

Uh-huh...
CANCELLATIONS!
So I hereby institute the first annual New Season Dead Pool.

First to go:
+++
Bones
Kitchen Confidential
Martha Stewart Apprentice may not get cancelled, but it won't be back (and no, I haven't seen it yet).

but is an ability to articulate human relationships." Gore Vidal

[nq:1]Kitchen Confidential[/nq] If anyone had a reason to like this show, it's me. I'm a huge fan of the original book, and I pretty much think Anthony Bourdain walks on water when it comes to popularizing the restaurant/food world (if you haven't seen A Cook's Tour or No Reservations, you owe it to yourself to set the TiVo); plus, his Les Halles restaurants are the real deal, food-wise. I'm always interested in the restaurant business (it's what I'd probably be doing if this writing thing hadn't panned out), and I'm probably the only person in American who, after putting himself through the televised **** that was The Restaurant actually stuck around, watched, and enjoyed ****'s Kitchen (as well as Gordon Ramsey's superior show on the BBC, name forgotten).

The latest in a long line of You Don't Know Jack contenders.

Yet another show whose main character is named Jack.

Let's see... it's based on Anthony Bourdain. So let's call him Jack Bourdain. Yeah, why not? The lead on Lost is also named Jack. Along with EVERY OTHER *** MALE LEAD YOU CARE TO MENTION so, yeah. Jack it is. Makes perfect se

Winner: HEAD CASES on Fox.
First show did a 6.4, second did a 3.1, so Fox said bye-bye.

I didn't have Head Cases in my New Season Dead Pool because I didn't even know that Head Cases existed. Hm.

It's called "Stacked" because Pam works in a bookstore, silly. And actually, it isn't as bad as one might think. They're shooting the second season now, but it won't be on until after t

Looks like NBC is running the first two episodes of My Name is Earl tonight. Worth looking at if you missed them before.
