There have been a lot of ensemble shows of late, and most haven't done much for me.
I didn't watch most of those thirty, but there are several I'll miss:
Journeyman was one of my favorites; a really good show. And Shark, too. James Woods was great.
Others I liked a lot regardless of the production values- Las Vegas. Women's Murder Club, New Amsterdam and even Bionic Woman]/i]. That started out well and then fizzled.
I don't miss any reality shows' departure, and there are still a few too many on the air.
And too many of the "character driven" series were just boring. It got tedious seeing all of the trials and tribulations of what were mainly prime time soap operas. I don't care to know a *lot* about the personal life of the characters.
Life is a notable exception, and may even blur the line. I can't wait for that to come back!
I guess some shows won't have a chance to "wrap up", though some won't really need to.
And of my favorites that remain-- killing of main characters by the droves?! What the frak! (No, not a BSG spoiler.) The practice of killing off a long-time character as a season finale is really cliche now. Law and Order was an exception, there may have been another, but I don't remember. Just let the character quit, already.
