2012-13 Fall TV Thread

[ClockShot]

Okay TPWW. It's almost that time of year again. Fall TV returns.

As usual we ask the each other the questions:

What new shows you going to try out?

Which returning shows are excited to see?

Which shows are you giving up on?

Early predictions for who's getting the ax 2-3 episodes in, etc.

And of course, feel free to post your reviews of the new stuff you watch so that we can jump on your bandwagon or you jump off it.

For me (no spoilers, you should well aware of any cliffhangers or plots by now :foc:):

Sons of Anarchy: Jax is running the club while Clay is on the bench licking is wounds. But where's Opie?

NCIS: The Tony/Ziva hook-up better happen this season. Hope Ducky don't die. :'(

Vegas: Gonna give this a try. Dennis Quaid making the jump to the small screen is pretty big. But gangsters + Las Vegas = win.

Criminal Minds: Jeanne Tripplehorn steps in for Paget Brewster. She's got big shoes to fill so I hope she can deliver.

Castle: Castle and Beckett finally got together. Maybe NCIS should take a couple notes.

The Mob Doctor: With House gone, FOX got nothing going for me. But I might try this. They're saying it's pretty edgy.

Early cancellation prediction: Last Resort. ABC is gonna try again to capitalize on the phenomenon that was Lost. NBC tried with The Event and that didn't work out. I don't think lightning is gonna strike twice for the gang at the alphabet network.


Alright. I know we got some Fringe fanatics here who can't wait for the final season to get their answers. And you superhero suckers who are gonna give Arrow a try. I wanna hear from you.

[Lock Jaw]

I will give Arrow a try, probably will not last.

[Lock Jaw]

This looks like it could be badass. Will definitely try it.

[VSG]

Fringe is the only one I am genuinely glad to see, frankly.

[Schlomey]

Well the two that come to kind are the Matthew perry sitcom and that animal hospital one....neither look great but the matthew perry one I hope will be better than it looks.

[Lock Jaw]

ANIMAL HOSPITAL?!

[Tazz Dan]

Dexter and SOA for me. I'm not sure what else is due back on your screens though. Suits has been good so far too :y:

[Schlomey]

I'm just happy that The Office got renewed and we get some closure.


I just finished re-watching season 7. The end of Michael Scott. He promised Erin that she could call him at any time...I really hope that before the end of the run we get a Michael Scott reunion....

<3 Justin Kirk

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Psych should be back soon too. You know that's right.

Why are there so many Sherlock Holmes shows now? Is it just because House ended and people want more Sherlock mysteries except not done well?

[ClockShot]

Psych usually shows up around early winter, doesn't it?

[ClockShot]

The Office fans, this season will be the last.

[Gertner]

The Office and Boardwalk Empire are must watches.

[ClockShot]

Michael Strahan is reported to be offically named as Regis' replacement on Live with Kelly.

Thoughts from Big Blue Nation and viewers of a.m. talk shows?

[Jura]

This show is so offbeat but kind of awesome.

Looking forward to Vegas. The 1960s is a hot time period to depict on TV. See Mad Men.

[Skippord]

This show is so offbeat but kind of awesome.

I really enjoyed this. Huge Eddie Izzard mark

[ClockShot]

FX orders 90 episodes of Charlie Sheen's Anger Management.

Jumping the gun a bit?

[Schlomey]

Jj Abraham's new show Revolution looks tight.

[Triple Naitch]

FX orders 90 episodes of Charlie Sheen's Anger Management.

Jumping the gun a bit?

I think it was in his contract that if they pick it up for a second season it automatically guarantees 90 episodes. Tyler Perry has the same deal with TBS.

[Tommy Gunn]

I'm interested in Revolution, but I've been burned by projects by Lost writers / producers before, I'm looking at you Once Upon A Time.

[Schlomey]

I'm interested in Revolution, but I've been burned by projects by Lost writers / producers before, I'm looking at you Once Upon A Time.

Heroes season 3 and 4. I feel ya.

[Lock Jaw]

I enjoyed Once Upon A Time. I didn't like where they went with the end of the season, though. I will still watch the second one.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I enjoyed it for the most part but Emma is a pretty bad main character. Seemed like she was just doing and saying the exact same things every episode.

[ClockShot]

Fall tv begins tonight with Sons of Anarchy.

WHO'S WATCHING?

[MVP]

This guy :D

[loopydate]

Go On was decent. Not spectacular, but a good fit for Matthew Perry and a fun concept.

[Schlomey]

Revolution was friggin awesome.

[Lock Jaw]

I thought it doesn't start until next week?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Its on on-Demand.

[Droford]

I thought it doesn't start until next week?

Monday at 10pm..ugh

[Schlomey]

Hulu but I have plus

[Skippord]

watching Revolution now, pretty sure it's gonna suck, but hopefully not

[Skippord]

nevermind Juliet's on it, it's gonna be awesome

[Skippord]

I enjoyed it

Billy Burke is very charismatic and the main girl is pretty badass and ludicrously attractive. Will watch it until it is cancelled 3 weeks from now.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

nevermind Juliet's on it, it's gonna be awesome

What? I'm definitely watching.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

From a trailer I saw like 6 months ago or something it looked like it was centered mostly around a group of teenagers. Didn't really appeal to me. Is it centered mostly around a group of teenagers?

[Skippord]

Juliet plays the main girl's mom, but I guess she'll only be in it in flashbacks.

And it's really centered around this family with that main teenage girl, her stepmother, her uncle, and one of her dad's friends trying to get the girl's brother back as well as figure out how to stop the power outage. That guy from The Cape appears to be the villain and Gus from Breaking Bad also is in it as a villain.

I would give it a watch I guess.

[dronepool]

Dexter
Walking Dead
South Park

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just watched half of some new show on NBC. The show seemed like crap, but Meadow Soprano was looking hot as hell.

Revolution looked pretty good. Sort of wish they didn't include the last scene of the episode. Thought we'd have to wait a bit for something like that.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the Revolution pilot. I enjoyed it. Only thing I dislike about it is Nate. Dude seems like a giant cliche of a character.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I watched Revolution last night and thought it was okay. Only Giancarlo Esposito's character had any sort of appeal to me really. Billy Burke was good as well when he was just talking but then the whole superhero act kinda put me off a bit.

I'll probably keep checking it out for a while because I like the concept but it all looks a bit by the numbers at the moment.

[MVP]

Gonna have to check out this Revolution show based on all the talk about it.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the pilot of "Last Resort". Wasn't really planning on checking the show out, but I was bored.

Seems like a very weird series. Might check out the second episode, just because it has Autumn Reeser, and that one Australian chick from Dollhouse in it.

[CSL]

I quite liked Last Resort, mainly because I'm a mark for anything that involves Andre Braugher chewing up the screen/dominating every scene. Revolution had a good premise then I saw the trailer and that's getting cancelled/just looks bad despite Gustav Fring. Animal Practice with the funny guy from Weeds was alright. Go On is "sweet" and has it's funny moments but maybe this is because I like John Cho and Matthew Perry, dunno.

[Jura]

Revolution reminds me of the Fallout games a little.

[Lock Jaw]

Never even heard of this "Homeland" show that won Emmy for Best Dramatic Series

[Schlomey]

Best new show so far is go on. Revolution second. Everything else is a distant third.

[Schlomey]

I want to like the new normal but it has put me to sleep the last two weeks...literally. Can't even stay awake until parenthood starts for god sake.

[CSL]

Never even heard of this "Homeland" show that won Emmy for Best Dramatic Series

it's very good, comfortably last years best new show

[Skippord]

I recorded the first episode of Homeland and then never watched it, because I am a retard

[ClockShot]

Boardwalk Empire gets renewed for a 4th season.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Boardwalk Empire gets renewed for a 4th season.

Glad to here it.

[ClockShot]

NBC's Go On, The New Normal, and Revolution have been given full seasons this year.

[MVP]

That's good news. I've enjoyed Revolution so far.

[Juan]

I'm happy for Matthew Perry :y:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah, cause you can never have enough millions of dollars.

[Juan]

By that logic, no one in Hollywood would ever work again after a few movies.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just bought Colbert's new book! It's in 3-D!!!!

[ClockShot]

And our first casulalty of the season is.....................


Made in Jersey.

CBS cancels the show after 2 episodes.

[Innovator]

Good, show sucked.

[Schlomey]

Congrats to Go On. I think it's the best new show on TV.

[Hanso Amore]

5th times a charm for Chandler Bing

[Tommy Gunn]

The first 2 new episodes of Supernatural have felt a bit, who cares. Hope the writing improves.

[Schlomey]

Watching Arrow, about 20 minutes in, LOVING this show already.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Watched Arrow yesterday, loved it, one of the best lines in my mind was when he said "What's Twilight", to the response of "You're better off not knowing".

[ClockShot]

NBC kills Dane Cook's mid-season show Next Caller before it begins.

[ClockShot]

Fox renews Bob's Burgers for a 4th season.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

NBC kills Dane Cook's mid-season show Next Caller before it begins.

Yes!

[loopydate]

NBC kills Dane Cook's mid-season show Next Caller before it begins.

Apparently, someone at NBC purchased a calendar.

:lol:

[Jura]

That rack.

[Gertner]

The Office was pretty funny this week. Kevin was amazing.

[ClockShot]

Tried watching Nikita last night. Seemed pretty cool what they're doing with it.

Ratings sucked, however. I'm hoping it don't get the ax, I want it to give it a chance to build.

[ClockShot]

Showtime renews Homeland for a third season.

CW gives Arrow a full season.

[ClockShot]

CBS gives Vegas and Elementary full seasons.

[Tazz Dan]

I'm liking Elementary but haven't really gotten into Vegas.

[Tazz Dan]

Arrow is the goods too :y:

[ClockShot]

G4 cancels Attack of the Show AND X-Play. Both shows will end production at the end of the year.

Wow.

[Jura]

I don't have G4 but aren't those two shows their primary shows?

[ClockShot]

Pretty much. Besides coverage of E3, Comic-Con, and a few shows here and there. That was it. Hell, I don't think Cheat is on anymore.

But, I think most of us knew that once Munn and Pereira left AOTS, and Sessler left X-Play, they're were on borrowed time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They are switching away from video games/tech and more into pop culture I think.

[ClockShot]

USA axes Common Law, Political Animals, and Fairly Legal.

[ClockShot]

There's a long shot that AMC might revive The Killing. They're gonna try to work out a deal with Netflix.

[Innovator]

Please no

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

USA axes Common Law, Political Animals, and Fairly Legal.

I don't watch any USA Original shows other than Psych and the ended series Monk.

The chick on Fairly Legal was pretty hot though.

[loopydate]

It's weird, I probably watch USA more than any other non-ESPN network with Raw, White Collar, Suits, Burn Notice, and Psych, plus I also enjoyed Common Law and Political Animals.

[jerichoholicninja]

Community will be taking 30 Rock's time slot starting in January according to Shirley. Sorry, don't know her real name.

[ClockShot]

USA renews Burn Notice.

CW's Beauty & the Beast gets a full season. If anyone cares, that is.

Like there was any doubt. This weeks episode was an amazing melding mind fuck. :love:

[ClockShot]

CBS cancels Partners.

And after 10 seasons, American Chopper is wrapping up. Last episode is on December 11th. It's gonna be a live special called "Chopper: The Revenge". A 4-way bike build-off in Las Vegas with Jesse James coming back to challenge them.

[ClockShot]

Busy friday today.

ABC axes Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue. Remaining episodes will air then who knows what will fill the slots.

[Mercenary]

Surprised The Neighbors is hanging in there.

[Lock Jaw]

Totally forgot about Last Resort. Watched the first episode and then no more.

[loopydate]

I've really been enjoying Last Resort. Sad to see it go. Hopefully there's a satisfying conclusion.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Community will be taking 30 Rock's time slot starting in January according to Shirley. Sorry, don't know her real name.

February 7 is October 19th.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The ratings aren't horrible although the reviews for the series have been.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Damn, I've been keeping up with 666 Park Avenue.

[Mercenary]

The ratings aren't horrible although the reviews for the series have been.


I do like the show, and I have seen worse.

[ClockShot]

Starz cancels Boss.

[ClockShot]

Chevy Chase has left Community.

Discovery Channel cancels Dirty Jobs after 8 seasons.

[jerichoholicninja]

Chevy Chase has left Community.

Discovery Channel cancels Dirty Jobs after 8 seasons.

They've got the whole season filmed already but that still sucks he's leaving.

Can't believe Dirty Jobs was on that long. A guy I used to work with was a camera man on a game show Mike Rowe auditioned for. He said the producers thought Mike was terrible and would never be anything.

[Lock Jaw]

Chevy will apparently be not appearing in 1 or 2 episodes in the season, but will be in the finale, because they shot it out of order. I hope he gets a proper sendoff, and it isn't just "Pierce isn't here anymore".

In any case, this does not bode well for a season 5.

[ClockShot]

BBC series Merlin (which airs on Syfy here in the states), is ending after 5 seasons.

[MVP]

Revolution is done for 4 months which is disappointing, but I'm glad some story arcs have been resolved.

[Droford]

I gave up on all the new fall shows.

I'm intrigued by the fox show with Kevin bacon in it, but...fox's recent track record with mid season shows is bad.
Alcatraz, finders, chicago code, Napoleon dynamite, human target, past life, sons of Tuscon, just the last few years..I think the only successes they've managed were bobs burgers and touch

[ClockShot]

Revolution is done for 4 months which is disappointing, but I'm glad some story arcs have been resolved.

Midseason finales suck.

Still gotta wait another 2 months for Suits to come back on.

[jerichoholicninja]

That 1600 Penn show looks like it will last about 3 episodes, if that.

[Droford]

There's a syndicated sitcom called first family which is lower budget and dumber and has lasted 9 episodes..

[ClockShot]

Fox finally pulls the plug on The Mob Doctor.

[ClockShot]

CW cancels Emily Owens.

[Skippord]

the fuck is Emily Owens?

[Triple Naitch]

Terrell's sister.

[Skippord]

THE CW MURDERED TO'S SISTER?

[ClockShot]

FX renews The League for a 5th season.

[ClockShot]

Good news, Walking Dead fans. AMC gave the green light for season 4. Expected of course.

The bad news, showrunner Glen Mazzara is leaving. 2nd showrunner to go.

Hmmmm? AMC have a hand in this again? They tend to do that if they don't like the direction their shows go.

[Blitz]

Bizarre to me. Mazzara's Walking Dead is near universally acclaimed. Compared to the Darabont version, anyways.

Wonder what exactly about this version they're not feeling.

[ClockShot]

TNT cancels Leverage.

Damn, that was a good show. Gonna miss it. :'(

[ClockShot]

NBC decides not to go forward with Mockingbird Lane. Which was the reboot of The Munsters.

Sometime before halloween, the pilot aired. News to me. :o

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, it was by Bryan Fuller (the Dead Like Me/Pushing Daisies guy), and I meant to catch the pilot when they showed it...

But I missed the pilot, and forgot all about it. Guess I won't ever bother with it now.

[Droford]

4th season of Justified comes back tuesday on FX. One of my favorite shows.

[ClockShot]

Yeah.

[ClockShot]

Fox renews Bones for a 9th season.

[Schlomey]

Good. My wife will be super happy about that.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Has David Boreanaz now been in more episodes of Bones than episodes of Buffy and Angel? I remember reading he was close to it a while back.

[Lock Jaw]

IMDB says: Bones 150 episodes, Angel 111, Buffy 58 (Of which some are probably name only credits in those eps where he didn't appear). So getting there.

[jerichoholicninja]

That 1600 Penn show looks like it will last about 3 episodes, if that.

We'll see if it makes it that far but I got to say it doesn't suck so far.

[Schlomey]

I liked it

[ClockShot]

Scott Gimple, Glen Mazzara's right hand man, is your new showrunner for The Walking Dead.

[Blitz]

He also wrote the script for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I'm at somewhat less than full confidence at the moment.

[ClockShot]

AMC is bringing The Killing back for a third season. Shooting begins next month.

[Innovator]

AMC is bringing The Killing back for a third season. Shooting begins next month.

WHY

Made it half way through season 1. Wasn't my bag, baby.

[ClockShot]

WHY

Fan demand?

Sometimes it works.

[ClockShot]

SyFy cancels Alphas.

[loopydate]

Damn. LOVED Alphas!

[VSG]

Fringe finale was fucking awesome- that's all.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

It was alright, the past fringe incidents being brought back as weapons against the observers was nice, but it was all a bit lacklustre really. The whole of season 5 could've probably just been condensed into a movie.

[ClockShot]

Kevin Bacon's new show The Following kicks off tonight on Fox.

Anybody interested in this?

[Triple Naitch]

I might DVR it.

[Lock Jaw]

Anyone still watch Once Upon a Time? I am still enjoying it.

Though for a lady who once claimed to have the "superpower" to tell when people are lying, the main character sure gets lied to a lot.

[Tazz Dan]

The Following was good. And so was Banshee.

[ClockShot]

ABC cancels Don't trust the bitch in apartment 23."

[The Destroyer]

The Following was good. And so was Banshee.
Yeah I quite liked The Following. Definitely going to give episode 2 a go next week.

[Tazz Dan]

Was a cracker first episode, so much potential as to where they can go with it.

[Triple Naitch]

I really enjoyed The Following. Hope it doesn't disappoint me and fall off the face of the earth like Alcatraz did.

[CSL]

liked the first ep until the end when they set up the rest of the season, was praying they didn't catch him but now I take it we're going to get old Kev trying to stop a follower every week with little inserts of an overlying arc here and there with some words from prison and there are too many case of the week shows on TV already. Shall check out the next ep where I hope I'm proved wrong but I'm not too confident

[Skippord]

EVERYONE IS A MURDERER/DOUBLE AGENT

[loopydate]

Last Resort finale was underwhelming. I mean, I get that they had to rush a series finale after they found out they'd been cancelled, but it was still a disappointment. Show started with such promise, but they tried to cram too much story into 13 episodes, and it just sort of fizzled out.

[VSG]

So glad Spartacus is back. I loved how they set up Crassus as the main antagonist for this final season.

[ClockShot]

If my power is still on, I'm totally checking out The Americans tonight on FX.

Who's with me?

[The Destroyer]

The premise sounds like it could be really, really bad if not handled properly.

Might give it a go if it ever makes its way to the UK.

[ClockShot]

CBS renews NCIS for an 11th season. This news comes after Mark Harmon signed a new deal.

Awesome.

[Lock Jaw]

In other news, How I Met Your Mother was renewed for a ninth... and FINAL season.

[VSG]

Good, that show is really aging badly.

[Lock Jaw]

I'm hoping Ted has a horrific throat injury that changes his voice into Bob Sagat's to explain why his future self sounds like a different person.

[ClockShot]

BBC has cancelled their version of Being Human.

Christina Applegate has left Up All Night.

[Innovator]

Do No Harm is done

[Skippord]

dunno why that show got cancelled so fast, it was harmless

[Lock Jaw]

Damn, I liked Up All Night. Well, I liked Will Arnett and Christina Applegate's characters. The rest of the show was up and down.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They changed the show too much from Season 1 and mainly forgot about the baby. Which was the whole point of the show.

[parkmania]

Man, there's still 6 more weeks (March 25th) until the return of Revolution.

Can't wait...

[Lock Jaw]

I'm still kind of meh on Revolution. It could just be a lot more interesting than it actually is. Plus the main chick is pretty terrible.

[Juan]

Is that Kevin Bacon show any good?

[Skippord]

it's good if you like people in ridiculous Edgar Allan Poe costumes

if you don't it's not very good

G4 dies on April 22nd and gets replaced by Esquire Network. You know, like the magazine.

Noooooo!!!!! where will I get my Ninja Warrior fix now??!?!?!?!



I still remember the original network where they had so little programming (before they merged with tech tv) that they would show opening cinematics from various video games for like 20 minutes at a time.

2nd favorite "digital cable expansion" channel other than the already defunct Nick Gas channel. Used to watch alot of their live chat/talk show g4tv.com with the two chicks hosting with some guy.

ABC's thusday night 8 o'clock timeslot is cursed. Last season Charlie's Angels got axed, this season it was Last Resort and now Zero Hour.

Maybe its ABC that's cursed..the only show I watch is last man standing

[CSL]

Addison Timlin :(

[Tazz Dan]

Maybe its ABC that's cursed..the only show I watch is last man standing

I loved the first season of that, the second has been horrible. Replacing Alexandra Krosney as Kristen from the first season was probably the worst thing they did. This new chick just doesn't fit the role IMO. Also Boyd's dad changing was shit too.

[ClockShot]

Maybe its ABC that's cursed..the only show I watch is last man standing

ABC struck gold with Castle. Still going strong.

CBS boss Les Moonves confirms that season 8 of Dexter will be it's last.

Make space on your DVRs

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty sure Dexter was already confirmed that season 8 was the last.

[Droford]

Heard that show is in trouble too.

The only reason its in trouble is if the ABC morons can't take the right leaning humor of the show. It was this past Fridays most watched network show (which i know doesnt say much, but still) I'm convinced they didn't want the show to succeed after its first season by throwing it on Friday night..now that its still successful they'll just cancel it..fuck ABC

[Triple Naitch]

This reminds me of the Bolshevik humor that was displayed on Home Improvement every week.

[Juan]

Pretty sure Dexter was already confirmed that season 8 was the last.

Yeah

[ClockShot]

After 5 seasons, Cartoon Network's "Star Wars: Clone Wars" ends.

[parkmania]

Watched the shorts before Season 1 (or WAS that considered Season 1?) and couldn't get into it. Might have been the animation style (not that it was CGI, but rather that everything was so angular).

Lucasfilm has announced a major change in direction for Star Wars animation in the wake of the company’s acquisition by Disney and announcement of a movie slate (see "Stand-Alone 'Star Wars' Films").

First, a new animated show is in development that will be "...set in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming." No details on when the show will be launched were provided.

Second, Lucasfilm is going to "wind down" Star Wars: The Clone Wars. No new episodes are being produced for Cartoon Network, but new story arcs are being produced in the form of bonus content to be delivered in a yet-to-be-disclosed way.

And last, Star Wars Detours, the planned animated comedy series (see "'Star Wars' Animated Comedy Series"), has been postponed "until a later date." The company’s statement provided an explanation. "Detours was conceived and produced before we decided to move forward with the new Star Wars trilogy, and in the wake of that decision, Lucasfilm has reconsidered whether launching an animated comedy prior to the launch of Episode VII makes sense," it said.

[ClockShot]

In some game show news, Alex Trebek is reportedly mulling retirement. His contract ends in 2015 which is what many expect is when he'll retire.

Names being thrown around as replacements are Matt Lauer, whose contract with NBC expires in 2015. And Anderson Cooper, whose contract with CNN ends next year.

Yeah, I'll pass on both of those guys. But as crazy as it sounds I've adjusted to Drew Carey on The Price is Right pretty quick when he took over.

[Juan]

Anderson Cooper is the man

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The only reason its in trouble is if the ABC morons can't take the right leaning humor of the show. It was this past Fridays most watched network show (which i know doesnt say much, but still) I'm convinced they didn't want the show to succeed after its first season by throwing it on Friday night..now that its still successful they'll just cancel it..fuck ABC

False. ABC's top executives are Republicans and were key supporters of GW Bush in 2004 and 2008. Try again please. Maybe it's just the people don't want to see this Tea Party shit?

[Kris P Lettus]

this weeks episode of the office completely set up a dwight spin off

[Skippord]

it was originally the pilot for a failed Dwight spin off

TIM ALLEN: Politically correct has really been the mode for me because we, they’ve moved Last Man Standing to, we finally got a night on Friday. And we’ve had, for some reason, we've had a good amount of success with it. And now we have standards and practice, which you and I talk about.
JAY LENO, HOST: Oh, yeah.
ALLEN: What you can get away with. We were, tomorrow night's episode is about race, and it's like we went back to the ‘80s with what we can and cannot say on the network. They say, "That's too offensive, you come off this way and that way."


I actually thought the episode was well done. The black characters ( his neighbors, who still shows up) made just as many wise cracks about Tim Allen's character being white..it was funny. I guess its ok to make jokes about white people..

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I think they might decide to pick it up again if the ratings for the episode are good enough.

[ClockShot]

Executive producer Ryan Murphy revealed that season of American Horror Story will be called "Coven". Or should I say the subtitle?

[Skippord]

I bet there's some witches on that

[ClockShot]

HBO cancels Enlightened after 2 seasons.

[ClockShot]

CBS renews CSI for a 14th season and extends Ted Danson's contract another season.

Some big news on the late night scene. There's a report buzzing around the 'net that Jimmy Fallon is gonna replace Jay Leno on the Tonight Show AND take it back to New York starting in the fall of 2014.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I'll give Fallon a full year before Leno comes crawling back for his job. Conan only had the spot for 7 months.

[ClockShot]

CBS renews Elementary, The Good Wife, Mike & Molly, 2 Broke Girls, NCIS: LA, Person of Interest, Hawaii Five-O, The Mentalist, and Blue Bloods.

2 shows lacking from this list are Criminal Minds (which is reasonable for now since the cast is in contract negotiations right now), and Vegas.

[ClockShot]

Hmmm, more TV news this morning. I guess with season winding down everybody is getting things into place

FX had some kind of presentation this morning and they announced some news.

Justified got renewed for a 5th season.

Season 2 of The Americans comes back in January.

American Horror Story: Coven should debut right around Halloween time.

Season 4 of Louie will debut in May of 2014.

[Bad News Gertner]

[Tazz Dan]

Cult has been taken off TV =\

[ClockShot]

Ugh. Criminal Minds is in limbo right now. Cast recieved final offers from the producers and they got till tomorrow to accept so they can decide to renew or cancel the series.

[Tazz Dan]

Noooooo. I'll be pissed if that gets canned.

[ClockShot]

After 25 years, FOX cancels Cops. Damn, I'm old.

But don't worry. It's moving to Spike TV. And will still be playing non-stop on G4Esquire until that network gets going.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Whitney has been cancelled along with 1600 Penn, Up all Night and Guys with Kids.

Parks and Rec is re-newed wooo!

[ClockShot]

Black Thursday today with the networks. Thanks to Slicky for covering the NBC end.

Fox cancels Touch after 2 seasons.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I hope they don't cancel Castle

[Tazz Dan]

Happy Endings
Modern Family
Go on

They all need to stay.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

As does Community

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why would Modern Family be in any danger to warrant mention in this thread? They sweep the Emmy's like every year. The other two might be in danger.

[owenbrown]

well ABC really hasn't announced anything yet so who knows

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Whitney being cancelled bums me out a bit. I usually watch episodes of that whenever I have the flu.

[Innovator]

No way happy endings makes it, the ratings were abysmal

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Besides it's time for Kim Bauer to be in trouble every week again. It's been too long. #panther

[Tommy Gunn]

I hope Community comes back.

[Destor]

I hope Nashville comes back :'(

[Skippord]

Fag

[Ermaximus]

Like 4 shows I like are on that list. Fuck!

[Juan]

The only shows I care about on that list are Modern Family and The Middle

[Ermaximus]

The only shows I care about on that list are Modern Family and The Middle

I care about 1 of these two out of the four on my list.

NBC axes Go On.

In a bit of a surprise, the upcoming season of Burn Notice will be it's last.

TNT cancels Monday Mornings and Southland.

SyFy renews Defiance for season 2.

[loopydate]

Sad about Go On. It really found its groove down the stretch and the supporting cast was fantastic.

[Ermaximus]

CSI: NY and Cleveland Show are now no more.

Vegas is gone too.
