“The 4400″ and “The Dead Zone” Canceled?

I’m getting early word that USA has canceled both “The 4400” and “The Dead Zone.” So far there has been no confirmation from either USA or NBC Universal, but considering what’s going on with “JourneyMan” I figure “The 4400″ is bound to get canceled too since I’ve enjoyed watching it on a regular basis since day one. I’ll keep you informed.
“Monk” and “Psych” Go High Profile
In other news, USA will be taking a new and unique approach to two of cable TV’s biggest hits ever, “Monk” and “Psych.” The two shows will return to USA with brand new episodes on January 11, 2008. They will air new episodes every Friday. NBC will then begin re-showing those episodes on Sunday nights beginning in March.
The move is expected to gain the shows a much wider audience as even the biggest cable hits do not come anywhere close to garnering the kind of numbers a hit network show can achieve. Both shows have been on USA for quite a while, though, so I’m not sure if new audiences will get into the shows without having seen the earlier seasons. Still, it’s not much of a gamble on the part of USA or NBC since the shows are already paid for and NBC isn’t likely to have much content to show with the writer’s strike still showing its effects.
Is “Psych” Funniest Show On TV?
I would like to mention, though, that “Psych” is probably one of the funniest shows on TV. It’s one of my favorite shows. If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to check it out.
Never watched Dead zone or Psych much; I got into Monk surprisingly and the 4400 cause my girlfriend made me watch it ;)..she won’t be a happy camper
I don’t know why I never watched Monk because I’m certain it’s a good show. My wife isn’t happy about The 4400 either if that makes you feel any better.
I love both Psych and Monk. But Monk I have watched since day one and for the longest time it was in my top 3 list but after Bitty Schram (Sharona) left she took some of the shows magic with her. Traylor Howard (Natalie) has done a great job and it is amazing that today she has appeared in more episodes than Sharona but even then I see old episodes and enjoy them more then the new. I would still be really pisst if Monk got canceled.

Well, lucky for you Vic, Psych and Monk are two of their highest rated shows. Those of us who like The 4400 or The Dead Zone, however, aren’t going to be so lucky…
