New Media Channels

Not sure why the cancellation of "My Name is Earl" took me by surprise as I stopped watching it early last season. The reason is rathe rlame: my DVR cannot record more than two shows at a time during the same time slot and I rated "Ugly Bety" and Bravo's booby "Matchmaker" locked in.

Many of the other shows that were nuked, I actually never heard of let alone watched. "Without a Tarce," a staple for my early morning stationary bike viewing is a heartbreaker. The show was getting a bit thin and the plot where the father of Samantha's child, Sam and Jack emerging as a less-than-interesting love triangle, was an indication that the writers had lost their way.
