I guess all the bickering with Kiefer was worth it...

"Alcatraz" was exactly what you'd get if you crossed "Prison Break"
with "Lost" but blew your acting budget on Sam Neill and had to hire a
Katee Sackhoff impersonator as your lead. I will sort of miss it.

"Finder" was a great deal of fun and would have had a chance if it
hadn't been launched in the toughest time slot in all of broadcast
television then bounced around and down to Fridays. I will definitely
miss it.

"Touch" is probably heading somewhere but, like "Journeyman", it's
taking forever to get rolling. I don't mind the renewal but I'm still
DVRing "Grey's Anatomy" and "Person of Interest" then catching "Touch"
on-demand. I can't believe that this was supported by any numbers
other than "24" and "potential box office millions".

Never even heard of Finder, Touch was unwatchable, Alcatraz was -- as
stated -- a decent premise with a horrid leading actress (not saying
she can't act at all, but she was ill-suited for the role).
