   actually I think a problem exists where they put something on 8-10   
   episodes (like Kyle XY) and then remove it for almost a year.  So like   
   10 months later, you've forgotten the show and have to remember again.   
   They should do like the old days.  have 20 plus epsisodes, show reruns   
   in the summer and then start again in fall. Now we have shows starting   
   every three months on 50 bazillion channels.  You just can't keep up   
   with it.   
      
   And why more Bachelors and that crap?  Is anyone still watching   
   these?!  They are all set ups.  Only ONE person ever actually "lived   
   happily ever after" on those shows.  The rest all turn into hollywood   
   run amuck has-beens.
