  Hell on Wheels.
  
  Looks good so far, bit slow moving but like most new shows, thats always the case.

  I've given up on Once Upon A Time too - found the fantasy land fairytale place scenes bland when they should have been, by the very nature of them being in a fantasy land, all colourful and sparkly and full of wonder and awe and all that stuff - dull is NOT how they should feel.
  
  Also I find the kid annoying as blazes.
  
  One show recommendation that I've loved is Suburgatory (and 2 Broke Girls)

  I really like Man Up. A Sitcom nobody seems to mention on here.

  Anything I am missing that I should give a try?

  Still watching:
  Person of Interest
  Unforgettable
  Prime Suspect (which as you all probably know bears ZERO resemblance to the UK show, but for what it actually is, isn't at all bad)
  Allen Gregory (hilarious)
  Hart of Dixie (a bag of cliches, but hey, its got Rachel Bilson in it)
  
  Never checked out in the first place:
  Ringer
  Homeland (but I plan to)
  American Horror Story (but I plan to)
  A Gifted Man
  Enlightened
  Pan Am
  2 Broke Girls
  The New Girl
  
  Behind on episodes but haven't abandoned:
  Revenge (for the record I love this show, just got very behind on viewing)
  Once Upon A Time
  Grimm
  
  Given up on:
  Terra Nova (pretty... and totally soulless)
  Whitney (gave up on 1 episode in)
  I Hate My Teenage Daughter (also gave up 1 episode in)
  Up All Night
  Charlie's Angels (plus it got cancelled it was so bad)
  How to Be a Gentleman
  The X Factor
  
  Winter/Spring 2012 shows most looking forward to:
  Alcatraz (starring the incredible Sam Neill, Hurley from Lost and Parminder Nagra...)
  Touch (the new Keifer Sutherland show, produced by Tim Kring)
  Smash (I'll give it one episode, because it could clock in as a sub-par grown up version of Glee, but at the same time I'm also excited to see what its like)
  Napoleon Dynamite (because like the movie, it could just be SO stupid it rules)

  It hasn't been formally cancelled, I believe. Its simply in that so-called "Hiatus zone" where they didn't order more episodes after the initial bunch and may or may not give it a second try after they figure out how many other shows they are dumping. In the short term, they're putting on an adaption of the John Grisham novel The Firm in its timeslot for the winter season, but if that doesn't do any better, then come actual renewal time for next fall (or even the summer) its far from impossible that Prime Suspect could come back. NBC has played this game before with other shows. Is it likely? No. Then again, NBC is a network desperate for content, so who knows? The latest episode, for example, was up 18% in the ratings.

  Only one I'm watching is Once Upon A Time. I loved it in the first few episodes. I still quite like it now but I'm not as interested in it as I was at the start. I want something to actually happen.

  Still watching: Suburgatory - absolutely fantastic show, up there with the best comedies atm!
  
  Given up on: Up All Night - liked it at first, but there's no reason to watch, I might pick it up again in the summer.
  
  Started but didn't like: Once Upon A Time - although I may have been a little harsh on this, might give the pilot a full try over Christmas.
  
  Not too much for me this season although my favourites How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, The Middle and Parks & Recreation very much remain on my viewing list. Also given up on The Office and The Cleveland Show this season.

  Of the new shows:
  
  On borrowed time:
  Once Upon a Time - getting a little too twee and the kid is annoying
  Grimm - nothing really wrong with it just not really gripping me
  Terra Nova - even though I love bitching about it
  Boss - a quality production but not sure I can find the time to make the effort to follow it. Might save it for watching over Christmas.
  
  Given up on:
  Pan Am - managed one episode. Looks fantastic but too soapy
  Person of Interest - decent idea, just done badly
  
  Still liking:
  Homeland - best new show by a stretch
  Ringer - it makes so sense at all, it's done on a tiny budget but it's somehow great TV
