The broadcast networks are revealing their fall schedules this week, and I'm particularly glad to see the backend of two shows that have been culled from the herd.

ABC has finally given Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher its walking papers. I initially found the show's premise intriguing, but it quickly devolved into a train wreck where politicos and pundits tried to be funny while entertainers tried to be serious. Neither group was ever very successful.

James "King of the World" Cameron's Dark Angel was offed by FOX. Having never watched the show, I must admit it's pure vindictiveness that causes my glee about this one. It always struck me as a Buffy-after-the-Apocalypse thing, and ripping off Buffy just irks me.

Next time: "on the bubble" shows that I'm glad survived.

What did we know, and when did we know it? This one bears very close watch. I know I'll be keeping my eye on it.
