Tell me about it! TSSC got good right after they killed off Riley.
"Dollhouse" will probably go down in flames as well. Another pity.
Chuck's numbers are way better than either TSSC or Dollhouse, so that's only probably a done deal.
The numbers on TSSC and Dollhouse are really miserable, Fox won't put up with that for very long.
Unfortunately, both you and I seem to get attached to what are destined to become cult classics. It seems that a lot of people can't focus their attention between genres. Me though, you'll find me madly switching back and forth between "Dancing with the Stars" and "Chuck" every Monday that they're both on.
Have you considered the ramifications for network "eye candy", if Summer Glau, Eliza Dushka, and Yvonne Strahofsky all get axed at once. I can feel my tears welling up already.
I guess I'm not very attentive or intuitive, but I've never encountered a story line as overtly stupid, contrived, or garbled as Lost, (IMHO), yet it chugs along, a big success.
