Here are 5 new shows that MSN pick that should leave the air waves. I haven't seen any of them, what do you guys think.


1. Cavemen
2. Big Shots
3. Life
4. Big Bang Theory (though ratings on this show are good)
5. Kid Nation

I saw a little bit of Cavemen. It was pretty bad. The first commercial was funny, but it lasted all of 30 seconds. That joke can only go so far.

I watched some of Bionic Woman. That wasn't great either. It would have been better with some humor mixed in but it seems to be taking itself too serious.

I want asskickings for any & everyone involved in that Caveman shit - how dare anyone actually tune in & watch it (sorry NDRU )...

I thought I'd hate Big Shots (the only one on the list I'm watching/fast forwarding through) & as I predicted it's shit. BUT Nia Long is on it & I'm waiting for her & the dude from Alias to get together, then I can drop it But it's so terrible they may never get to that point

in my defence I didn't deliberately sit down to watch it

I had recently heard someone on the radio talking about how painfully awful it was, and what an idiotic concept to base a whole show on a commercial, so flipping channels I happened upon a few minutes of it & wanted to see if it was that bad--I swear!!!

j/k

I didn't have very high expectations of this show when I heard that they were going to do a series about it, but I though I'd at least check it out. I watched about half of the first episode, and while it wasn't putrid god awful horrible, it was really bad. It took itself way too seriously to be campy, and there weren't even any jokes in it to be remotely funny. Another thing which made the premise really bad was that implied that there were a large group of cavepeople living among modern society as well as the cavemen who were the featured characters of the show. The whole premise of the GEICO commercials was that there were only those two or three cavemen who were alive in the first place, and that idea was apparently forgotten when they did the TV series.

I agree with the caveman show. That sounded like crap from the get-go. I can hardly stand the commercials now. It started as something funny and went on to something else that became way overdone. I'd be happier if they did one with that dadgum gecko. I haven't really watched the so-called "fall lineup" shows that get so much hooplah in a long time. I hardly have the time to do so. In all honesty, I think the good lot of them are pretty stupid. Lo and behold, some of them don't make it past a few weeks; let alone an entire year. I tend to watch documentary channels and nick at nite.

I agree with MSN's list!

only 5?

I would keep Big Shots and the Big Bang Theory. Both are good shows.

I have not watched the others mentioned, but from working in TV news, I have heard Kid Nation and Cavemen are not that really great.

Time will tell.

I love Big Bang Theory...that show is actully funny! I am kinda liking Kid Nation too.

I haven't seen any of those shows, but they should've included that fake Tila Tequila show.
