    The tv schedules over the last few years have been ridiculous. It is irresponsible to have so many reruns and breaks in the shows. Many people are so aggravated that they are finding other ways to entertain themselves. Some day soon tv will be a thing of the past for alot of people since they can’t depend on the network. GET ORGANIZED PLEASE!

  • debbie

    Where is CANE? CBS just baits us to see what their RATINGS will be, we get HOOKED and then BOOM,,,,,the tv show we like and look forward to is no LONGER there,,,,,,,,,WHY,,,,,,,when will it pick up so we can continue the story???

  • http://daemonstv.com Daemon’s TV

    debbie, there are probably no more episodes because of the writers strike. Once it resolves we’ll get more Cane I’m sure.

  • Abbey

    when is the writers strike going to be over. i want to see more episodes of desperate housewives.

  • http://daemonstv.com Daemon’s TV

    Well Abbey, that’s the question we are all asking but unfortunately nobody has the answer yet.

  • alvin amberg

    DEAR SIR
    WHICH DAY WILL MOVIE SHARK BE SHOWN?
    MONDAY 28 OR TUESDAY 29TH
    HOPE TO HEAR YOUR REPLY SOON
    THANKS

  • http://daemonstv.com Sandie

    Hi Alvin,

    From what I can tell it’s Tuesday 29th. But since the networks have been changing their schedule constantly, it’s hard to guarantee anything. We will probably know more when we get closer to the date.

  • Paula Moore

    Maybe I am from the older generation but it seems that the very best shows play out a season or two and then falls by the wayside. There are promises of shows to come but usually my husband and I find therearen’t any more episodes even written. I am aware of the strike but MERCY give me a break. I am close to 60 years old and good shows for our age group is fading away fast. I doubt we can do anything to change the powers at be short of paying them billions of dollars but a person can wish. I am refering to shows like Cain, The Unit. Las Vegas started out to be good but thank God it has been canceled. Who likes a murder drama with comedy. Anyway it felt good speaking SOME of my mind. Anyone else feel this way?

  • P.zaborek

    Why am I unable to find the TRUE premier date of RESCUE ME ?
    Also, the premier date of NIP/TUCK. Everywhere I look the dates are different.
    So – what’s the scoop?

  • P.zaborek

    And while I’m asking, how about IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA? Please answer ONLY if you know for SURE !!!
    Thank you !

  • http://daemonstv.com Sandie

    Hi P.zaborek,

    There are not dates set yet for the return of either shows, however I know that “Rescue Me” is scheduled to return next Spring.

    “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” should return this Fall, and as for “Nip/Tuck,” I don’t have a date but I know that they are back in production this Summer, so maybe later this year or early next year.

    Hope that helps.

  • P.zaborek

    Sandie:
    Mamy thanks for the info. I neglected to ask about my very favorite show – The Shield. Any word on that one?

    We are almost an exclusive FX household. I think that the best shows on tv are on FX////////////!!

  • http://daemonstv.com Sandie

    Hi P.zaborek,

    The final and seventh season of “The Shield” is slated to premiere on September 2, 2008.
