Wonderfell
It's a bleak morning for me...as I take time to mourn the passing of a great new show. "Wonderfalls" had excellent potential, with the quality of an early-years Ally McBeal, yet FOX shoved it into the dreaded 9pm Thursday night slot. Let's look at FOX's weeknight schedule. Please, pardon my anger, sarcasm, and bitterness...they are just a few of the stages of mourning.

Mon
8:00 - Bernie Mac
8:30 - Cracking Up (cracking up whom???)
9:00 - 70's Show rerun
9:30 - 70's Show rerun
Look, FOX......an HOUR where you could place a new exciting show !!!

Tues
8:00 - American Idol
9:00 - 24
(I can't argue here....)

Wed
8:00 - American Idol
9:00 - The Swan
(I'm supposed to want to see surgically-overhauled, former-ugly-duckling women compete in a beauty contest??? No thanks, I 'd prefer a show that promotes self-esteem and career development among the young women of America....oh, wait, that's Miss America, isn't it???)

Thurs
8:00 - Tru Calling
9:00 - Nada, Nothing Scheduled, DEAD AIR
How Tru Calling is still on the air, while Wonderfalls was yanked, is beyond my comprehension. Jason Priestly, post-accident, is no Heather Locklear - and therefore can't bring this show back from the dead (excuse the pun, if you're unfortunate enough to know the show's storyline). Even TVGuide's listing section still refuses to remove Wonderfalls from the 9pm slot.

Fri
8:00 - Totally Outrageous Behavior
8:30 - World's Craziest Videos
9:00 - Forever Eden
I don't know where to begin with these shows....video clips stopped working years ago as a theme for a show....why was Paradise Hotel renamed to Forever Eden???

Apparently FOX believes that shows like the "The Swan" and "Forever Eden" show more promise. I'm quickly beginning to think that a boycott is in order. Perhaps, at 27, I'm just too old for this crap-TV.
