We've known about the cancellation of some of these shows (EG: Terra Nova) for some time. I watch very little network TV these days, but I'll miss "Awake" and "Pan Am". However, I won't miss "Unforgettable", with the nastiest protagonist in some time.

I may have seen Terra Nova twice the others never.

The one show coming to an end that I will miss is “House”.

I don't even own a television and have no idea what shows they are talking about... but who wrote that headline?

Not that I mind, I speak that vernacular from birth, but I've never seen it as a headline.

Next, it'll be a butt-load of shows.

I don’t watch any left-stream media network shows. Not one. Somehow I survive.

As long as Supernatural is coming back for season 8 and Person of Interest is back for next season, all is well in TV land.

Awake was pretty interesting though. I only watched the pilot of Unforgettable...didn’t seem that bad, but I never got into the rest.

The descriptions of many of the new replacements do not sound all that interesting or exciting. Most of them seem to be the same ole themes and scripts.

A number of them will probably be pulled within the first month or two.

I noticed with the last episode of Awake that the preview for next week called it ‘the finale’. Maybe, they will have closure, and not leave it hanging, like so many other cancellations in the past.

I’ll miss “Unforgettable”, and moments of “Hhouse”. But my big 5 made the cut:” Justified”, “Bones”, “Castle”, “NCIS”, and “Grimm”

Will be missing Terra Nova. They shouldn’t have spent so much time on character development and just jumped right to the dinosaurs shredding people. The T-Rex transport toward the end of the season was awesome!

Of those shows the only one I'll miss is Alcatraz.

but cancelled "Allen Gregory,"

A show so horrendously unfunny that it sucked the humor from the shows around it making them less funny too. It was like Al Franken that way.

ABC cancelled... "Charlie's Angels,"

I checked epguides.com and they actually showed seven episodes of it. I didn't think it lasted that long.

[NBC] ordered a heap of new series and cancelled ..."The Playboy Club,"

Three episodes and out.

I watched the first episode of ‘Harry’s Law’ and that made up my mind - good to see them go.

‘The River’ seemed like a long mini-series so no big deal. Just got done watching the last episode of “Awake’ online - it’s slow but had merit, I guess. ‘Terra Nova’ was neat, hopefully someone will pick it up on another network.

I watch most TV online - small window usually when I surf other stuff or do work/work....mostly it’s just background noise - but - no commercials:)so it cuts down time if I decide to really watch something - most half hour shows are down to 19 minutes, or less...hour shows around 41 minutes.

Disappointed to hear about “Pan Am”, but the last new show I really went out of my way to watch was “The Wonder Years”, and that ended what, twenty years ago?

I haven’t watched network TV since about 2007. I have maybe five TV shows that I watch all week. Any other TV viewing comes from DVDs. The rest of my spare time is spent on reading and hobbies.

Harry’s Law is gone? I feel that a great burden has been lifted from me. Never watched it but I couldn’t escape the promos.

ABC cancelled "Desperate Housewives," "Charlie's Angels," "Man Up," "Extreme Makeover," "Work It," "GCB,"...just so that abominable "Good Christian B*tches" - yeah, we know what GCB stands for - is gone - ABC got the message in only three episodes......

I've been watching Awake, and am sorry to see it go. It was just starting to get interesting. I watched the first season of Alcatraz, and unfortunately, that's been cancelled now too. The River wasn't all that great, but I watched the whole season just to see where it led.

Terra Nova started slow, but ended with some good action, and was disappointed that it got cancelled. I like Stephen Lang. Looking forward to seeing him as Abe Lincoln in the mini-series "To Appomattox," airing in 2013.

I see they renewed "Body of Proof" with Dana Delaney. As of now it will consist of 13 episodes. Fringe will be back for its last season with 13 episodes as well. And this fall, American Horror Story returns. Jessica Lange will star again, but as a different character. Love Jim Caviezel in Person of Interest, and Tom Selleck in Blue Bloods, who by the way has got a new Jesse Stone movie airing this weekend.

I’m just happy when I don’t know anyone featured on America’s Most Wanted this week.

It has been YEARS(...and years) since I’ve watched ‘network TV’.
