It was just announced that The Cleaner is being canceled after two seasons.  I was just telling WillowRaine the other day how I love this show. I love how at the end it gives me shivers and makes me want to cry. I was late at catching on to this show and now I regret it. It’s one of the better shows out there.

The A&E show starring Benjamin Bratt was based on a true story. William Banks helped those who needed to get clean and he knew how it felt because he used to be an addict himself. The final episode aired on September 15.

Zachary Levi was at the NBC/TCA Press Tour last night. I am thinking that his beard is just getting crazier! I know that they are starting to film the second season of the show in less than a month. (But the show won’t air until March.)

Zap2It had a chance to interview Zach and here are the highlights (the interview was so funny!):

On if his beard is a unibomber thing: Don’t count that out. … What’s his name? Kaczynski? Krasinski? No, not John Krasinski from “The Office.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to a press thing and someone comes up and says, “So, the new season of ‘The Office’ …” I’m not even kidding.

On how much free Subway he’s got in the last little while: Levi: Five tons. They sent in an entire truck with turkey breast footlongs, with everything.
Joshua Gomez: Remember that scene from “Indecent Proposal”? We did that with Subway sandwiches. Just on the bed with meat an cold cuts, slapping each other silly with … no?
Levi: I totally remember that. I had so much mustard in my … forget it. I’ll tell you something about that — the jalapenos don’t sit well. I can deal with the pepperoncinis.

On what Zach would be doing if Chuck got canceled: Hopefully I’d be getting another job. … But at the end of the day, and I know it’s so cliche to say everything happens for a reason, but if we had been renewed quietly in the night, nobody would have cared. But the very fact that they held on and we were on the chopping block really riled up our passionate, dedicated following to the point where they were a huge voice and part of the process.

I feel like now — we got picked up virally, all these campaigns got us a lot of traction and a lot of buzz. We need that, especially as a show that’s kind of struggling for every viewer. At the end of the day, what we were able to accomplish was being a championship for our fans. They’re our shareholders. Being at Comic-Con and having 4,000 people deep. I’m just stoked to have been part of the process.

On how long his 2.0 powers last: That has been outed, yeah. There’s a hitch in the giddy-up, as they say. Intersect 2.0 is not an exact science, and we need to work through that in the third season.

I have been doing a happy dance for the last hour or two now. One of my favorite shows, Chuck, has been renewed for a third season. I could not be happier. I was crying the other day thinking I wouldn’t be able to Zachary Levi ever again as Chuck. The show is such a cute corny to me. And I haven’t missed an episode yet.

Congratulations to the whole cast and crew. I can’t wait to see you again in September!

I am obsessed with television. I’m really sorry. It kind of goes with the territory though when I love to focus on television shows. The networks have released most of the yes’ and no’s for the 2009-2010 season. (I’m still holding out for Chuck!)

I decided I would pick some of my favorites from each network and tell you if they have been renewed or not (Or could be renewed or canceled). And if you find a puddle of water at the bottom of the post don’t mind it. It’s just because I’ve cried over my canceled shows. (This year though I think the only one that I watch that is in jeopardy is Chuck.)

For an up-to-date (after this week) list go here.

Today was when the Save Chuck campaign went into full effect. Everyone was to buy a foot-long sub from Subway to support Chuck. It is in danger of being canceled and we need to have a third season.

This video was taken at a convention in England where Zachary Levi led 200 people to Subway. He then went behind the counter and help make everyones sandwich, hundreds of them and did not leave until the last one was served. I would have loved to see Zach make my sandwich, and then I would have taken him home with me.

GO here to sign the petition to save the show.

First, I have to say that we need to save Chuck. I am such a fan of the show that I think I might die if it’s canceled. I have already bought my first season DVD (I had it the day it was released) and Monday I am going to Subway! We need to SAVE CHUCK go here for more details.

Zachary Levi is in this cute commercial for the 2010 Hybrid Honda Insight. I am jealous that girl got to kiss his cheek! And my favorite line…”…and that will be awesome.” Zachary is so adorable.

I have been dying to find out any information about the final three episodes of Pushing Daisies. Even though I can’t lost really being interested in it after I heard that the show was canceled. So here is what I have learnt. The Paleyfest television festival is going on in April, this is when the last three episodes will be aired there and will have Bryan Fuller there to introduce them.

And if you can’t get there to see it…like me…the rest of us can see it during the summer when ABC will be trying to boost the sales of the season 2 DVD set. Why? Oh WHY?

I can’t believe that they canceled Pushing Daisies! There was just something about the show that I loved. The way it looked different than the others was a great big grabber. I always watched to see if Ned and Chuck would ever touch. I know they are showing the episodes that they still have but will it be worth it? I will still have more questions at the end.

Two of my shows got canceled…Moonlight being my favorite one…But October Road was canceled too. But unlike CBS, ABC cares about their fans. They may not be bringing the show back for the season but they are trying to make fans happy by wrapping up the loose ends.

Of course, that wouldn’t be good enough for me for Moonlight but at least ABC listened. I swear I was the only one that watched that show but now I can see the end. Because it was a great show. So what is CBS’ problem…they are being hugely stubborn. Wake up guys…smell the coffee…these vampires won’t stop fighting.
