‘New Amsterdam’ proves to be mortal
My new favorite show (post-strike) was “New Amsterdam”.
But sadly, it was given it’s death sentence this week. Why Fox? Why, oh why can you not let things last? I shoulda realized it was doomed when they pushed back the premiere to March.
Fox isn’t the only one throwing around the axe this week. Also cancelled are “Moonlight”, “Shark”, “Canterbury’s Law”, “October Road”, “Back to You”, and obviously “Bionic Woman” and “Journeyman”.

Moonlight: A Vampire Guilty Pleasure
Sad but true, I’ve been keeping up with “Moonlight”, a vampire detective show starring Alex O’Loughlin.
It’s not very good, actually some of the dialogue is down right terrible, but it’s a guilty pleasure that I can’t seem to shake. I’m not like those crazy fans giving blood or anything. I can relax and laugh at this show instead of how serious I need to be for “Lost”.
I’d mostly forgotten about it due to the strike gap, but yesterday, I noticed two episodes waiting for me on my Tivo DVR. As it turns out there’s only two more eps left to go. CBS has been quite mum on saying if it’ll be renewed. But hey, didn’t it win a People’s Choice award? That’s gotta count for something. Plus, Mick St. John is pretty easy on the eyes (despite his Criss Angel wardrobe), so I’m sure it’s doing well with the female demographic.
“Moonlight“, a thinly veiled “Angel” rip-off, airs Fridays at 9pm on CBS.
