5 Bubble Shows That Should Get a Second Shot - 2008

Download The Unit Episodes at Amazon UnboxThis week the rest of the networks, NBC already announced theirs, will be giving their upfront presentations to advertisers and announcing their Fall TV Schedules. So, this is the week where we will find out what shows will live on for at least another season, which ones won’t and what new offerings will be added.

First, above any other show on the list below, the TVaholic would like to see How I Met You Mother return for a fourth season. But, since I can’t fathom that this show is actually on the bubble, it didn’t make the list below. This is the best comedy CBS has right now. It might not be the most watched, but it is definitely the best on CBS.

Second, The New Adventures of Old Christine should be brought back by CBS as well. The reason it isn’t on the list below is because, if for some reason CBS should pass, it is highly likely it will join the NBC departing Scrubs over at ABC.

So, let’s get to the list already.

5 Bubble Shows That Should Be Picked Up for Another Season

  1. Eli Stone - This show started out a bit weak, but really found its way a few episodes in and became a favorite by the end of its 13 episode first season. It is Boston Legal meets Wonderfalls with a little Broadway musical thrown in. Not to mention the cast is quite good.
  2. The Unit - An action adventure series and a family drama all in one, but the mixing of the two allows the show to come off feeling much more realistic than your average TV actioner. And, the cast is stellar.
  3. Moonlight - This started out pretty bad, but they finally seemed to decide what they wanted it to be about halfway into the season, that being, a campy, vampy, romantic drama.
  4. Women’s Murder Club - This is a very good cop procedural with an interesting twist, that being, the relationship of the four female leads.
  5. Shark - It is just fun to watch James Woods get wound up and let loose. But, beneath the procedural lawyer show elements lies the story of a man trying to change and do right by his daughter, while also trying to atone for his past mistakes.

    I cannot believe they are cancelling Moonlight. That was one of the freshest shows on tv. The cast was great. Who wants to watch sitcoms all evening. Some of us like drama, not sitcoms.

  2. Jason the TVaholic Says:

    Kay, I was surprised that Moonlight got cancelled as well. Although, I actually like sitcoms and a night of good ones is even better. Some of us like both. Unfortunately, it looks like Moonlight’s replacement is the dumb sounding The Ex List.
