typical yanks,
terra nova - slow to start, but finised really well
nikita & alcatraz - both are great
touch - the first episode shows promiss
the yanks would not know a good series if it was to creep up behind them & bite them in the ass.
Cant believe terra nova been cancelled was brilliant
Can't say I'm too fussed about any of those, but there are new series of Mad Men and Game of Thrones about to hit, which I'll certainly watch.
Terra Nova may be bought by someone else, but assuming reduced costs and no Spielberg (he just CAN'T do TV, can he?)
Also, Fringe apparently is "safe bet" now, but reduced funds. But I'd rather have slightly cheaper fring than none at all!!
TiVo to go on tablets

CABLE CONGRESS 2012 – BRUSSELS. Virgin Media registers a TiVo installation every 15 seconds and will make it available on tablets from this September, according to Neil Berkett, the company’s CEO.
Speaking in a panel discussion entitled Follow the customer, not the cable, he added that the service now has over 500,000 subscribers and will in due course embrace OTT.
In answering a question on whether Apple’s content strategy represented an opportunity or threat, Berkett said that if Apple were to dominate the entertainment market, cable companies would have to change their business model.
However, cable is flexible and certainly in the case of Virgin Media the company stays ahead of the curve.
Sad to see House go, but this season has become stale after a promising start.
