casualties of the new fall season

It's probably morbid curiousity, but I have to say that one of the things I'm most interested to find out in the fall is which series are getting cancelled. Even when shows I like get taken down, I still find it extremely exciting (if also sad) to see how things unfold. It's like my own little soap opera, watching the networks play against each other, counterprogram and eventually cede defeat in places by cancelling some shows and moving around others.

Here are my predictions for some early casualties for the fall season: Clubhouse, LAX, and the Mountain. This is not to say that they can't have a turnaround or that the networks won't rework the shows to improve the ratings. One Tree Hill had terrible ratings when it first came out, but is now one of the higher rated shows on the WB. Go figure. But these seem like likely candidates for the chopping block. Clubhouse has actually only had one show aired, but it got so crushed it's hard to think it will continue. LAX got killed by CSI: Miami last week and lost a large percentage of its viewers in its second showing. Jack & Bobby is also rapidly losing viewers so it might soon make it to the "Not Long for this World" list.

Interestingly, Tru Calling seems to be a silent casualty of Fox - it has been bumped from its time slot and there are rumors that the 13 episode order got cut back to only the episodes already completed.
