So, nothing on House and Grey's... It's such a shame! I also love Fringe, but we can't expect it all, right?!

These are the early renewals.

Most networks officially announce the renewals/cancellations in May so these are the shows that are performing so well that they are receiving early renewals. Don't worry, there will be more to follow. ;)

I think Hugh Laurie has said that he wants to leave House so this will probably be the last series.

I was under the impression it was definitely the last series of House.

It's on my to-watch list, which is very very long. :shifty:

I watched the first episode of Alcatraz and really enjoyed it. I will definitely be sticking with this show. o/

Yeah, the rumours are that this is the last... it will be such a shame to stop seeing this series. The writer must be a genious! Those lines are just incredible...

Not heard of Smash but watched pilot of Touch last night. Had been looking forward to this but not any more. Can't see how they can keep this going when far better show's have been dropped. Liked the first episode of Alcatraz but not enough to miss Suits which is on at same time. Anyone know if Alcatraz is repeated on any other nights.

Revenge is brilliant.. the acting and the storyline. I get chills when I watch it.
I didn't like Alcatraz... I did watch the first 4/5 episodes but I found the whole premise silly.. partly to do with the idea that all the random criminals are doing exactly the same crimes as before - one would think they could have a better computer system to alert them when a new criminal popped up.
Ringer - I was a fan but I haven't watched the new episodes since the hiatus.
I really didn't like Smash. I think it was something to do with me preferring the blonde actress over the lead brown haired one. :/
Other great programmes to watch are: Once Upon a time (love it, guilty pleasure), Good wife :), One tree hill (this last season is proving to be the best one imo)
I can't wait for Game of Thrones to return.
