Fast-talking New Yorker and brand new doctor Zoe Hart has it all figured out - after graduating top of her class from medical school, she'll follow in her father's footsteps and become a cardio-thoracic surgeon. But when her dreams fall apart, Zoe decides to accept an offer from a stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes, to work with him at his small practice in Bluebell, Alabama. Zoe arrives in this small Gulf Coast town only to find that Harley has passed away and left his half of the medical practice to her in his will. She quickly finds that Southern hospitality isn't always so hospitable - the other doctor in town, Brick Breeland, is less than pleased to be sharing the practice with this young outsider, and his daughter, Lemon, is a Southern belle whose sweet disposition turns sour when she meets Zoe. Zoe's only allies are the mayor, former football star Lavon Hayes, her bad-boy neighbor Wade Kinsella, and handsome lawyer George Tucker - who just happens to be Lemon's fiance. Zoe is out of her element and ready to pack her bags, but a surprise visit by her snobby New York mother leads to Zoe's decision to stay in Bluebell for a while, discovering small-town life and a side of herself she hadn't known was there.

Cassie Blake was a happy, normal teenage girl – until her mother Amelia dies in what appears to be a tragic accidental fire. Orphaned and deeply saddened, Cassie moves in with her warm and loving grandmother Jane in the beautiful small town of Chance Harbor, Washington – the town her mother left so many years before – where the residents seem to know more about Cassie than she does about herself. As Cassie gets to know her high school classmates, including sweet-natured Diana and her handsome boyfriend Adam, brooding loner Nick, mean-girl Faye and her sidekick Melissa, strange and frightening things begin to happen. When her new friends explain that they are all descended from powerful witches, and they’ve been waiting for Cassie to join them and complete a new generation of the Secret Circle, Cassie refuses to believe them – until Adam shows her how to unlock her incredible magical powers. But it’s not until Cassie discovers a message from her mother in an old leather-bound book of spells hidden in her mother’s childhood bedroom, that she understands her true and dangerous destiny.

To be fair, they're all on The CW, so you can't make comment about 'all the good shows being cancelled' when they've got absolutely no relation to this. Unless you're talking about shows like Hellcats or anything, which I'm guessing you're not.

CW?

 

to be fair yes im making a general comment on US tv as one might with uk tv not making a difference between bbc and itv, which I guess is a little unfair, but still, very annoying, im sure I could find many examples of a specific network cxl a good show only to replace it with crap or a show very very similar in premise. which annoys me, but can I be bothered to look? no not at the moment lol ;-)

 

that aside the last 2 shows sound rubbish (for me anyway) secret circle might get a load of fans who like the film the craft and stuff like that, or horror vamp fans might go for it, got a young teenage, sexy look to it so it might go past 1 season, even if it is bad (looking so far)

 

heart of dixie, id be very surprised if that made it past 1 season on the premise.

 

but you never know, just my thoughts, doubtful I will be watching the last 2 shows ever, ringer, sounds interesting (and no im not a buffy fan so its not cos I love SMG and buffy) though that might help draw fans to it. not sure it will have legs either though, but who knows audiences are fickle creatures,

a lot of shows I've liked in the last few years have been cancelled before their first season has even finished, one I liked was gone within 5 episodes ;) I think the US networks are far too quick to cancel shows before giving them a proper chance :D

It's a very tricky business. Yes, there's plenty of so-so shows that survive over other decent ones, but unfortunately a lot of the cleverer ones just don't catch on with wider audiences. It takes something pretty special to be both clever and popular.

I used to love Miami, but I've been a Caruso fan since nypd blue so that helped, but I started to get bored with it, think I got upto series 5, maybe one day I'll get the rest in the sales, still need to catch up on Vegas, I'm only up till just after warrick :-(

 

NY I couldn't get into don't k iw why, still need to finish series 1 but it's been so long I might have to re watch it, I'm a fan of sinise so will deff go back to it at some point

NY is awesome, it's the only one I'm still excited to watch. Vegas isnt the same without Grissom. As much as I love Laurence Fishburne as an actor, I dont like his character on CSI and I think the show has gone downhill a lot recently.

You just start getting in to a show and the networks pull it !

 

It seems they are often far too keen on playing safe with series like CSI or NCIS and not really giving other shows the chance to run and develop.

 

I think the Cape starts next week on Sy Fy which looks like it should be fun and it has Summer Glau in it as well !
