Watched the end of Alcatraz, got really good the past 3 or 4 episodes therefore annoyed and it's cancellation.

liked alcatraz too.

with the ending that was provided, it seemed like the writers were told at the last minute that it would be cancelled.

why do they keep cancelling decent shows like this after just 1 season?


It seems that shows now cannot have any kind of build up.  Alcatraz started slowly and obviously lost viewers, but as mentioned it picked up towards the end and its a shame it is over.  I liked Flash Forward too.  Your doll Jones in Alcatraz made it easier to watch every week too, Hurley really was wasted in the show though.  I was surprised to see Tommy Madsen stick the knife in her at the end, I thought that the last episode was showing us that everything about him was not what it seemed (the partner being corrupt etc).  They were starting to really link it to the fella who was released early from Alcatraz too which was looking like an interesting turn.  Found it a bit silly that Sam Neill was supposed to be 70+ though.
Good man way to ruin it for anyone still watching the show. ::)

You're welcome.

You could have wrote it without feeling the need to stick a hashtag in there like nearly every other tube using an internet based device these days.

The last 3 episodes of Touch were very good, it had been pretty average for a few episodes before those 3.

I found myself getting bored with it.  The last few episodes definitely lifted it up a gear.

The oul series links are running low at the minute.  Game of Thrones over, The walking Dead, The American Office, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire

I have all of this series of Dexter to watch though, so that should keep me busy for a while.

Any new series starting up shortly?  Falling Skies isn't a bad series.  It should be starting soon

True Blood series-5 started in the US on Sunday night I believe.  I've downloaded the first episode but haven't seen it yet.

Friday Night Lights is a show and a half

Later seasons are very poor and cliché-ridden. First two were excellent though.

Hate that. Aye, I`ve really enjoyed the first series so far. Favourite character has to be the Riggins or maybe even Buddy Garritty  ;D

Don't watch much TV but love this. Am watching series 1 on Sky Atlantic.

Funny enough I can't stand the Buddy Garrity character. Hate people like that in real life and God knows you find them everywhere.

Watched the first season of Falling Skies, looking forward to Season 2.  Boardwalk Empire is the next target.

Gary, you'd be better hiding your email address instead of wrecking the shit out of that wee hashtag key.

This really is excellent and the second series is showing on FX at the moment.

It really is - watched s2e4 last night; will probably watch another tonight. 

And no Laoislad, it's not in English.  :P
