GRIM REAPER STRIKES TV AGAIN: NEW SHOWS TERRIFIED THEY'RE NEXT

Thursday's bloodbath continues with the predicted axing of ABC's low rated My Generation. Not a shocker there considering how bad the reviews were that it got. The most shocking thing was the number one show at 10-drum roll please DADADADADADADUMDUMDUMDUM- the Jersey Shore. Yes, the train wreck that won't end is huge in the ratings, getting over a 4 share which NO show got at all on Friday. Outlaw on Friday continues to free fall, making this most likely it's last episode. I'll be impressed if it lasts another week. Most of Friday was awful with just about every show not on CW or CBS getting a 1 share or lower. CW continues to surprise with Smallville and Supernatural kicking butt in their time slots. CBS probably wishes it hadn't cancelled Ghost Whisperer as Medium continues to struggle, CSI NY is way down from last year and Blue Bloods doing okay even though having watched the first 28 seconds of its first episode I can confirm that the writing on this show is some of the worst I have ever seen. That is literally how long I lasted before turning the channel. Didn't give it enough you say? When the dialogue is that stilted and awful it has no where to go but down. Plus, character introduction was done so crappy that it made my ears bleed. This is a must miss. Watch the first 28 seconds if only as a writer you want to see how NOT to introduce characters. NBC's Dateline did it's usual so so self and Fox moved a House repeat to 8 and left The Good Guys to languish in what may be it's last episode as well. Next week the Reaper will return. What show will be axed next?
