TV.com is reporting on some possible TV cancellations. Among them missing is Scrubs which I thought was going to be a shoe in considering all that has happened with the creative team, writer's guild, and network switch. The whole purpose afterall was too give it a proper send off, but than again I guess that makes it not a proper cancellation.
Of the shows listed are three I ACTUALLY care about. Not so uncommon since I watch a embarrassing amount of television in the first place:
1) Castle- Nathan Fillion just cannot catch a break. He has the looks, talent, and charisma to rival Brad Pitt and George Clooney yet he stars in mostly failed tv shows. Fox infamously fucked up Firefly from the get-go, but Castle had some great potential. Good cast, great gimmick, decent storyline. It could have taken off if given a proper chance, not questioning renewal mid-season.
2) Chuck- I am surprised to see this here considering how consistently good and critically accepted it has been. With Jay Leno getting an hour spot during each weeknight primetime schedule, each day is going to lose a show no matter what. I'm betting Chuck stays though.
3) Reaper- Son of the Devil tries to make good is a very promising storyline. The cast is delightfully quriky and too loveable for their own damn good. Ray Wise does an excellent Devil, Bret Harrison is a very relateable guy, and Missy Peregrym, a past Hottie of the Week on this blog, is hot as hell.
Castle barely got out of the starting gate, Chuck seems to be going strong, and Reaper has already avoided cancellation once. Is just a damn shame that these shows could possibly join The Black Donnellys, Firefly, and Carnivale in the ranks of the cancelled-too-soon.

Calling all Reaper fans! Our show needs our help. The creators are leaving, and while this doesn't look good for our show, you can still let the CW know you want Reaper to continue even without them.

Please don't stay silent. They'll never know how much you'd like Reaper to stay if you never tell them. Executive Producer Tom Spezialy's still around, and lots of shows do just fine even after a change in the guards.
Domestic fans: since snail mail campaigns work best, here's the address for Dawn Ostroff at the CW:

Please consider taking a moment to send in a letter or postcard. Even as simple a line as "please renew Reaper" helps. And spread the word!
