Yeah, I have Continuum on my list in the "More Likely" section, since it isn't scheduled for any U.S. channels yet.  I've seen the first episode and it has potential to be a good show.  There are whispers that it might get picked up in the U.S., probably by Syfy (almost all of their shows are Canadian).

[Baff]

Awake season finished, and canceled.

Touch season finished, will return in the Fall.

Drop Dead Diva season starts Sunday.

Teen Wolf season starts Sunday.

[Baff]

Oops, Tron started yesterday.

[David]

Is this a Tron cartoon?

[Baff]

Yes.  Though it does have top actors, such as Bruce Boxleitner (who played the original TRON), Elijah Wood, Tricia Helfer, Lance Henriksen and many others.

[David]

I haven't heard much about this, but need to remember to watch it.  It sounds like an interesting premise.

[Baff]

Game of Thrones season finished, will return next Spring.

True Blood season starts Sunday.

[David]

Just finished the first season to Game of Thrones, and thought it was excellent.  Looking forward to the second season, but I guess it will be a while yet.

[Baff]

Todd season finished, and canceled.

[Baff]

Falling Skies season starts Sunday.

[David]

I am sort of looking forward to Falling Skies, and hope it's a little better than last season, which for me was a little dull at least starting out. 

[David]

I am not sure, but I read where Primeval was showing still on the BBC, although I don't have access to that channel nor  have I ever seen the series.  I have a friend who enjoys the show, and I know at one time it showed on the SF channel, however, from what I can tell they've dropped it.  I wish they reshow some of this stuff.  I tend to enjoy dinosaurs.  My friend also suggested a magazine to me called Prehistoric Times--about dinosaurs and the like.  Barnes & Nobles carries it although only a few copies, but I can see why he's so taken by it, very cool mag.  They also have a web site if interested and are on FB.
