[CanYoAssDigIt] Screw democracy, let's watch TV!

I was not surprised by number 2 on the list (of new shows most likely
to be cancelled) below. It's a strange thing that they've made a TV
show based on a series of commercials... and interesting that the
commercials are so good, and so watchable, and the show was shit
before it even started broadcasting.

The TV show based on the Cheney regime's termination of democracy will
suck, but Halliburton's going to have some kickass commercials on the
theme!

Now that the Fall Season is officially underway, how are things
shaking out with the freshmen lineup? Although the majority of new
shows seemed promising, there doesn't appear to be a runaway hit and a
few are already showing signs of trouble. Click through this slideshow
to see the five shows we believe are in danger. If one of them is your
favorite, the time for campaigning to save them should begin
immediately.

Nashville is the only show to be pulled from the schedule so far. Even
though we liked it (pretty people, lots of drama), it lasted just two
episodes before FOX benched it due to dreadfully low ratings. The
network says the show will return later this month, but we think a
final resting place online is very likely.

Despite premiering to decent ratings, we can't help but worry about
the future of this prehistoric minority. In a poll that asked Y! TV
users which new show they thought could be in trouble, Y! TV users
picked Cavemen in a landslide (at last count it was almost 60%).

K-VILLE premiered to pretty good ratings a few weeks ago, but that was
before any real competition arrived (hello, Dancing with the Stars!).
The audience of the New Orleans-based drama has been dropping
substantially each week.

Could the pre-premiere buzz be wearing off for Journeyman? Considering
the sweet timeslot this show has following Heroes, we're worried about
Journeyman's high-octane leak of over one-third of its lead-in. We
smell trouble. The show also dropped 35% in search requests this week
to boot. The upside: star Moon Bloodgood is a name searchers continue
to look up.

Big Shots is another show with a great cast, a great time slot and
sorry ratings. In the much-coveted post- Grey's Anatomy spot, the show
that's been compared to a male Sex and the City has hemorrhaged more
than half its lead-in audience. Sounds fatal to us.
