When I have more time I’ll do another post about new, upcoming genre shows.
But now let’s see what made the cut and what didn’t.
ABC is keeping Lost. Sure. Cupid was canceled – again.
CBS may or may not be renewing Ghost Whisperer.
CW is keeping Smallville and Supernatural, no final verdict on Reaper yet.
FOX continues to be the best place for genre. Sadly Sarah Conner Chronicles was axed, and I thought it was just hitting it’s stride, but Dollhouse and Fringe were renewed. Remember this is the channel that brought us X-Files, Sliders and Firefly to name a few. Not strictly genre, but one of my favorite shows, Bones got renewed for 2 seasons! Woot!

NBC is keeping Heroes (and Chuck, which I guess would be genre) with an interesting scheduling twist. Like Lost they’ll run full season (back to back episodes with no breaks), but unlike ABC (yet like what I saw the WB do a few times back in the day) when one series season ends (Heroes) the next will start (Chuck.)
I’m not sure what’s up with Sci-Fi. I’ll get back to you.
I may have missed shows that people watch and know are genre. Let me know in comments!
(no, 24 doesn’t qualify beyond being sheer-fantasy in so-much-as it ain’t reality)
Jim Yoho is the owner of In Genre, Wausau Comics, and JAY Entertainment and he maintains the site as well as adding the occasional article or review of his own. He often goes by Merin online, from way back in the BBS days of dial-up modems even.
Having enjoyed writing reviews and postings for other sites he decided to start his own where he combined his creative urges to write and create web comics (such as Episode Fun and Alistair & Arthur) with his long-held desire to bring together and organize talented people for joint projects. The end result is that you get the Wausau Comics site - articles and reviews of genre entertainment at In Genre plus some web comics and links to the works of other Contributors, too!
