Thursday Afternoon Massacre

CBS took care of eliminating a great many shows we might have potentially watched next season. I had expected to lose "Good Sam" and "How We Roll", because the ratings were execrable. I feared losing "The United States of Al", because the ratings weren't great and the cast was likable, which is usually the kiss of death in a modern sitcom. But there was no way that I expected them to cancel "Magnum P.I.", which is a top 25 show, I'm told.

With the CW taking out "Legends of Tomorrow" (and also "Naomi", which has failed to excite me to the point that there are eight unwatched episodes on my DVR), I'm going to have to find something different to watch.

Unfortunately, I don't expect a lot of good choices to come down the pike next fall. TV is becoming more and more like that.
