Pushing Daisies never stood a chance being so bright and kitschy, high concept, and getting ruined by the writer's strike. But it was great.

Kings also never stood a chance being so high quality and being on NBC. Had it even premiered a few years later, it'd have gone to Netflix or an early Prime show. It was too good for broadcast TV.

I don't watch any of those... I considered Perry Mason but just never really bothered, I hadn't heard of Yellowjackets until it was halfway done I think but I'll probably watch it eventually.

There's a few things starting in March but I'm most looking forward to Ted Lasso... but I'll also be watching Superman & Lois, Shadow and Bone, Sanditon and The Mandalorian.

I'm actually more looking forward to April with season premieres of Schmigadoon, Single Drunk Female, From and The Afterparty... and whenever the final season of Endeavour starts on PBS, hopefully won't be too long.

Don't bother with Midnight Club, it got cancelled... and it wasn't all that great to still warrant a watch. The YA stuff didn't bother me, it was more that the actual show's plot took a backseat to the stories the group would tell. Sure, the stories are meant to be used as a way to work out their issues, but it shouldn't have overshadowed the actual show itself. Though it was cool that some of the stories they told were small adaptations of some of Christopher Pike's other novels.

Flanagan seems to work best with a confined story, instead of trying to stretch it out just in case it gets another season.

Same, and I'm not all that into the storylines coming up... but I do hope the show gets to finish. Diana Gabaldon is writing the 10th and final book now, so if nothing else I hope she gets it done and they can condense the seasons into multiple books where possible without losing key things.

I'm not at all interested in the prequel series though.

There was an interview with Brec Bassinger where she said if the show gets cancelled, it will at least end well and not on a cliffhanger

But this isn't surprising, CW will end soon in general anyway. All their scripted shows have been cancelled or ending, only what, 7 are left now? Those could easily switch to HBO Max or Paramount+. Superman & Lois is probably next, WB wants Superman back in movies and they think there can't be more than one version which shows how stupid they think their fanbase is. If it does go, hopefully it doesn't end on a cliffhanger. Going forward, CW will either be so cheaply made that it won't be worth watching or will be a bunch of junk unscripted stuff.
