You know, I _thought_ the season finale of Without a Trace seemed an awful lot like a series finale. It was an incredibly repetitive show, but I enjoyed it and will miss it. Reaper and Chuck were the same show, but I preferred Chuck, so I'm glad the latter survived, but I will miss Ray Wise as the Devil.
I am unsurprised, but extremely unhappy that Life is Dead.

Well, there are three on that list that I watched: Life, Reaper and My Name is Earl. Of the three, I think I'm most disappointed in the cancellation of Life, with Earl coming in a close second (and it ended with a cliffhanger, which always irritates me--I think the network should give the producers of a show on the bubble a chance to do a real series finale instead of leaving us to figure out for ourselves what came next). I read one thing that suggested that another network may consider picking it up for another year, but since I only saw it in one place I'm not holding out much hope there.
I enjoyed Reaper, and like Amy G, I'll miss Ray Wise as the Devil, but I kinda figured the show's days were numbered and I'm glad we got as many episodes as we did.

Life without Life in it is depressing.
Terminator: Sarah Connor chronicles was fun to watch.
11th hour was kinda cool.
Bummer.

I'm upset about Life as well, especially without any resolution.
