This is blogs/news. They're updating on news about upcoming shows. The site is dedicated to past and canceled shows, so why complain about one little page that has a list of upcoming shows. There's no need to be upset, you're more than likely going to watch one or two or more.

Kathy, I think you work really hard and I respect that. Some of what you say is very funny, but to tell the truth I can only stomach so much of you at a time. And do you really need a pa? I think you have a pretty good handle on most things.

Where on your site can I go to find out about cancelled shows? Isn't that the point of the siite?!

Daniel wrote:

pussycat dolls: yech, and yes I am a straight male. Simply see no appeal in them.
Honestly, I'd love to see them bring back Murder in Small Town X. While not the greatest it was enjoyable.
