Besides Celebrity Death Pool, is there any other more deliciously schadenfreudic game of Hollywood Grim Reaperdom than guessing which of the new crop of network shows will be cancelled first?

No, we did not. (We did, however, get absurdly drunk, but that is a…
We're still not entirely sold on The Comeback, since we prefer unrelenting torture heaped onto characters we'd like to have sex with but will never possess (see the entire female cast of Party of Five). Still, there's something compelling about the constant, humiliating showbiz paper-cuts visited upon the…
