Were you a fan of "Pan Am" or "GCB"? We have some bad news for you.

Christina Ricci's "Pan Am" was supposed to be the new "Mad Men," but ratings for the ABC period drama declined after a strong start. ABC yanked it from the schedule in February, denying that it had been canceled, but now it's finally official.

As for "GCB," Kristin Chenoweth's soap about Texas girls 20 years later (based on Kim Gatlin's book, "Good Christian Bitches") was supposed to be the new "Desperate Housewives," but it didn't happen.

After 10 seasons, David Caruso's "CSI: Miami" is getting the boot -- the first series from the CSI franchise to do so. So is "Alcatraz" -- the Fox sci-fi drama produced by J.J. Abrams -- and "Are You There, Chelsea?" the NBC sitcom based on Chelsea Handler's 2008 best-selling book, "Are You There, Vodka?"

    I think GCB was hilarious, one of the better shows to come along in a long time. I know it was most likely cancelled due to Dallas returning but that is just crap.

    I voted for Awake, because I didn't have a chance to watch it, but I saw the trailers for it and it seemed really interesting. I didn't even know when it was on, though.

    I checked CSI: Miami and it did not take, and thought I could check more than one and then chose Missing. However I will miss both, but mostly CSI:Miami, it should be renewed. If they need to get rid of one of the CSI's it should be the one from NY not the one from Miami it is great and will be missed... Oh well they did not ask me and seems like a lot of other people...

    Never liked CSI New York or the main actor. It should have been cancelled.

    Actually, i didn't see the shows I will really miss. CSI:Miami is just OK but not a must see for me.

    My biggest regret is CW's "The Secret Circle." While I am related to one of the show's characters, I honestly thought the show was well-written, well-produced and well-acted.

    The other show I will miss is "Harry's Law". The witty dialogue kept me in stitches especially Kathy Bates' lines. Yet when the show needed to turn serious, it did so with proper gravitas.

    Honestly I don't care about any of these shows but I will really miss Terra Nova and The River. They had such potential past what was already great about them. =(

    I am just so tired of them not even really giving some of these shows a chance!!! Maybe switching to a different time slot or a different night could make all the difference in the world. I loved Alcatraz, Missing was slow at dragging me in but it was doing it, the other show is Secret circle they are canceling which i think is a great show. Many of these network channels are missing the mark. On Sunday evenings I think many shows get canned because the specials that run usually do so on a Sunday, so some shows can go weeks without being on like Jericho and The King also the Event, which makes it very difficult for viewers to get into especially sense they are drama 1 hr plot shows and not a half hr sitcom. I think their other issue is they have stars in their eyes seeing the new ideas that are available for coming seasons and they have to make room for what THEY THINK is going to be the next number one show. And yet they keep shows like Betty Whites off their rockers...i agree cute,and funny but come on! enough said.

    I think that cost both Pan Am and GCB, though the latter should probably have done better having followed the final Desperate Housewives episodes!
  • Ann Tony Be... 2012/05/16 17:22:01
    Ann
    TRUE! I think GCB had a good chance at being saved (pun intended)in a different time slot...Sundays are tough! Now with the Olympics coming up we are going to run into same issues if they start something new. It will be on then we will not see it around for weeks, then back, then something else will be on, then they will pull it...its maddening

    CSI:Miami would have been fine had they not started juggling the schedules, as networks are notorious for doing. I look for "The Good Wife" to be the next fatality, hoping all the while I'm wrong. I remember when NBC (among its' many other colossal mistakes such as choosing Jay Leno over Letterman) spent millions of dollars making and promoting the Dark Shadows revival series, which was one of the best network productions in the history of television. It had a strong following until they suddenly began shifting it around into different time slots, which killed it as no one ever knew when it would be on.

    I don't think they gave Awake long enough to gather a fan base; excellent acting, different sitcom, great potential.

    I just read in the new TV guide that Harry's Law has been cancelled as well. NOT because people weren't watching but because the RIGHT people weren't watching! According to TV Guide 'Harry' was the most watched scripted show on NBC but it was a 'demo disaster' meaning their 'chosen demographic' wasn't watching. That's blatant discrimination against all of us who don't fall into that 'chosen' category. It seems ratings no longer matter to the networks. It's all about their 'chosen few'! I've already contacted NBC and urge all of you who like Harry's Law do the same immediately!

    Harry's Law is one of the best shows ever. I love it and will miss it like the death of an old friend. Please NBC don't strike it down.

    Loved CSI Miami and how it stayed interesting all these years! As for GCB, good riddance! Christian and the "B" word should not be used in the same sentence! That's what turned me off to that show. Plus, I don't care for Kristin Chenoweth at all.

    Not a fan of any of them, but GCB was cancelled because the network caved to pressure from the religious right.



    Actually kinda happy to see CSI:Miami go. Lost interest around season three. I mean, how many times can one watch Caruso's sunglasses routine?

    Alcatraz had promise but it was really bad - None of FOX's this year were any good. Pan Am was good for 4 episodes but it also lost it

    I'll miss CSI Miami just as I miss Law and Order, I wish they will cancel two and half men because they stink. I don't watch TV as much because most of the shows are not worth watching. I only watch repeats like Law and Order, I guess I'll be watching CSI Miami also. I hope the actors are being payed every time they show their shows because if they are not I will stop seeing them.

    CSI is one of my favourite programmes and I will miss it. Great storylines, great acting and great locations made this a top class show.

    They should have an option "none of the above." CSI: Miami was the only one I watched but lost interest a few seasons ago.
