I'm really excited that Fringe, Dollhouse, Chuck and The Mentalist got renewed! Sci-Fi did a little better this year then it has some. Unfortunately that doesn't include Reaper, which is the show cancellation I'm most sad about. It is a great show, original, and laugh out loud funny every week. I also really liked Eleventh Hour, and that's a goner. If CBS doesn't pick up Medium I will punch them.

What are your thoughts? Shows you'll miss?

Holy shit! I didn't know Medium got canned!

I'm really disappointed that Life got the axe, though it seems like fans are trying to convince USA to pick it up. Also disappointed about The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but relieved that Chuck and Dollhouse live on. ;)

Yes, Medium got canned, but it was then immediately picked up by CBS. It will air midseason.

Also, Reaper is not canceled yet. ABC Studios is in talks to syndicate the show. Reaper Fans! Write your CW affiliate and say there’s a fanbase in your area and it would be a ratings boost for them on Sunday nights! Look up your CW affiliate here: http://www.cwtv.com/stations. Also write to ABC Studios — http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html?lid=ABCCOMGlobalFooter&lpos=CONTACT — encouraging them to keep promoting the syndication of Reaper! International viewers, write your affiliates/networks too. Draft emails and other ideas at http://community.livejournal.com/reaperdmv/44208.html. Come on, folks! This is our chance!

I am bummed about Reaper...but it sounds like it might have another chance somewhere else...
I am totally pissed about Life and Terminator! My husband and I loved those shows! And both season finales had cliffhangers still waiting to be resolved! Not happy with NBC or FOX at all...but they did renew Chuck and Dollhouse which were on the chopping block.
Sometimes TV is so stupid...
