Fall shows in trouble - no kidding.

Five new Fall shows in trouble - a Yahoo slide show.

Saw that one coming a mile away. Why, you ask?:

1) Nashville: Huh? Was this show even on the air? Great publicity, Fox. Plus... set in Nashville? No thanks. Not even on a Friday night. (Especially not against Friday Night Lights and Women's Murder Club.) Mosey along, Nashville.

2) Cavemen: UGH Cavemen show, how I loathe thee. Advertising at its worst. Also, a gross display of greed and ego. Excuse me people. Sure, the commercials were funny and it was a clever ad campaign. Making it a TV show?! Get over yourselves.

3) K-Ville: Whether or not you think it's too early for a Katrina-themed crime show, this one had mediocre writing and was up against some time-slot show-stealers. It didn't have long to live.

4) Journeyman: As I've said before, this one's imminent demise is two-fold. First of all, bad programming. It's up against a few things on that front. What, you ask? a) similar demographic show: CSI Miami b) opposite demographic show: Bachelor c) the everything-killer: football and d) it's a poor-man's Heroes, on AFTER Heroes. So... no. Secondly, it's riddled with molasses-speed exposition without giving the viewer much in return. Sorry, Journeyman. I think your journey ends here.

5) Big Shots: I've expressed my problems with this show before. It's a really bad male version of Desperate Housewives that isn't even as good as Desperate Housewives is today (even in its decrepit, uninteresting, old age state). It's basically a bunch of assholes walking around on a golf course and having affairs - without a good script. Good actors, though, which may be its only saving grace. Also, it doesn't have much time slot competition - unless anyone still watches ER?
