2015-16 Fall TV Thread

[ClockShot]

OK boys and girls. It's that time of year again.

Fall TV is just around the corner. This here is the thread where we discuss the upcoming fall shows that we're try out, keep watching, or just flat out give up. This also doubles as the scorecard where shows get cancelled. And we place bets on what gets cancelled first. :lol:


Not much has caught my attention in terms of new. Willing to give Blindspot and Minority Report a try. But other than that, it's the usual shows. NCIS, Blacklist, Criminal Minds, and Arrow.


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

[Lock Jaw]

Probably give Blindspot a try. Will also naturally be watching Supergirl, of course.

Don't really know of any other "new shows"....

[screech]

Gonna check out Minority Report. Don't know what Blindspot is. Gonna check out Grandfathered, too. Big Josh Peck fan.

I'll keep on Gotham, Agents of shield, and The Goldbergs for sure. Possibly Black-ish, that ended up being pretty funny about halfway through the season.

[Lock Jaw]

Don't really know too much about Blindspot either... just saw a commercial about it the other day and it is from the Arrow/Flash dudes and stars the chick who played Sif from the Thor movies.... that is enough to get me to check it out... maybe...

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, will also most definitely watch The Muppets...

[screech]

Don't really know too much about Blindspot either... just saw a commercial about it the other day and it is from the Arrow/Flash dudes and stars the chick who played Sif from the Thor movies.... that is enough to get me to check it out... maybe...

That's enough for me to watch the pilot

And fuck yeah, Muppets

[Droford]

Muppets
Limitless
CSI finale movie (Grissom is back!)
Fargo (Bruce Campbell is playing Ronald Reagan?!?)
Man in the High Castle (on Amazon )

[Lock Jaw]

Returning Shows I will Watch:

Gotham
Better Call Saul
Arrow
The Flash
iZombie
Agents of SHIELD/Agent Carter
Once Upon a Time
The Walking Dead
Modern Family
Big Bang Theory
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[ClockShot]

Bastard Executioner. Hoping Kurt Sutter hits another home run.

[Lock Jaw]

Will also check out the Netflix release of Jessica Jones.

I also think that Fox is making a Lucifer tv show based on the comic book series. I never read the series, and Fox is just going to cancel it anyways, but I will probably check it out because I am a terrible person.

[Juan]

Blunt Talk

[Lock Jaw]

Just googled that... might have to check that out now... don't get that channel, though.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

New Shows:

-Ash Vs. The Evil Dead.
-The Muppets.

Old Returning:
-Undateable
-New Girl
-Mindy Project (whenever it comes back on Hulu)
-Agents of SHIELD.
-BBT (kinda hate it though)
-The League (final season)

Not sure if there is anything else worth seeing.

[parkmania]

While the show interests me, I have to give a "well, shit" that it means we're probably NOT getting a Lady Sif ep of SHIELD.

Speaking of SHIELD, anyone hear if we're getting more Agent Carter during winter break, or something else?

[Lock Jaw]

More Agent Carter, set in Hollywood or something this time.

[Bobholly138]

Returning shows.

The Middle
The Goldbergs
Walking Dead
The Flash

So far nothing new has caught my attention.

[Jura]

Jessica Jones, Blindspot, Ash look good. Anyone seen Sense8 yet? There's one new show that I'll be sure to watch and that's "Into The Badlands".

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5KyHy4KRvIc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It has that whole post-apocalypse wasteland feel mixed with the 1800s southern plantantion slave Django stuff and finally you throw in a Journey to the West element.

[Jura]

Also, there's something I've noticed in the shows nowadays and I'm gonna call it the "Game of Thrones/The Walking Dead effect" in which almost any one of the main characters could be killed off. To be honest I don't like it in other shows. They use a plot device to be able to introduce new characters and it makes things fresh and different but some characters you've become attached to and don't want them gone.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I blame Lost.

[Mercenary]

[Jura]

Z Nation seemed laughable at first but it never took itself too seriously and became a decent show to watch. It's obviously no TWD but I'll be watching the second season.

[ClockShot]

Not really digging Bastard Executioner. Quite the challenge getting through the 2 hour pilot. I'll probably give it another chance, but this is looking like a bust for Kurt Sutter.

[Tammy]

When does The Voice start? I am ready to help choose American's next big star.

[Lock Jaw]

Enjoyed the first episode of Blindspot....

[ClockShot]

Blindspot was cool. Will probably keep watching it. Even if it is a blatant copy & paste of The Blacklist.

[Lock Jaw]

Never watched The Blacklist, so I am ok with it.

[ClockShot]

Get to work, Lock Jaw. You can probably run through the first 2 seasons on Netflix before the season 3 starts up next Thursday.

[Simple Fan]

Not really digging Bastard Executioner. Quite the challenge getting through the 2 hour pilot. I'll probably give it another chance, but this is looking like a bust for Kurt Sutter.

My brother was watching it and said it was pretty cool so I decided to flip it over and see what it was about and cought a gay sex scene and fliped it.

[Simple Fan]

Z Nation seemed laughable at first but it never took itself too seriously and became a decent show to watch. It's obviously no TWD but I'll be watching the second season.

Felt the same way about Z Nation but really like the show. Kinda fell in to the zombie shows a little late but I like them. I've seen all of Z Nation so far just don't feel like spending the time to watch what I haven't of The Walking Dead.

[Sixx]

Sutter keeps casting his wife in everything.

You can bet your ass she'll be singing in whatever that new show is soon.

[Droford]

The woman in blinds pot reminded me of a mix of Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer. Liked the 1st episode but I don't know if it can keep going on the same level as the pilot.

Limitless on dvr..

Muppets was funny but I'm not sure I like the adult take on them.

[ClockShot]

Gonna try Minority Report tonight.

[Blonde Moment]

Scream Queens got my attention. Pretty funny.

[ClockShot]

Scorecard update:


Syfy:
Cancels Dominion and Defiance


ABC:
Cancels Rookie Blue after 6 seasons
Gives Fresh off the Boat a full 22 episodes this season
Gives Quantico a full season


FOX:
Cuts Minority Report's season from 13 episodes to 10
Renews Bob's Burgers for another 2 seasons
Gives Rosewood a full 22 episodes


CBS:
Cancels Extant after 2 seasons
Renews Zoo for season 2


NBC:
Gives Blindspot a full 22 episodes


CW:
Cancels America's Next Top Model after 22 seasons
Cancels Beauty & the Beast. Season 4 will be it's last

[Jura]

The Player is decent but I have a feeling it's gonna be canceled either this season or next.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Does Defiance end on a cliff-hanger to anybody who watched?

[screech]

I love Fresh Off the Boat. Need to catch up on Minority Report and Quantico. Still haven't watched Blindspot.

[Jura]

I'm hooked on Quantico. It seems like anyone could be the bad guy.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How if any way does Hulu effect ratings? Do they get ratings if something is watched within a time frame?

[Jura]

If you're talking about Nielsen ratings then any internet related or DVR stuff do not affect those ratings. They choose certain homes and give them a device that tracks what they watch. They've tried to include DVR into it but some advertisers resisted but you can still see ratings with DVR info included.

[ClockShot]

Discovery cancels Mythbusters after 14 seasons.

[parkmania]

I guess they've busted every myth out there.

[ClockShot]

I was reading they did like 2,950 experiments or something close to that number.


But the end was near when they got rid of the 3 assistants.

[Jura]

Also new episodes came out erratically.

[Jura]

The Mythbusters always had an amazing secret weapon: They can't stand each other (http://www.polygon.com/2015/10/22/9593334/mythbusters-final-season-relationship)

[Droford]

I wanted a wrestling Mythbusters episode but I guess not happening

[Jura]

What would the myth be?

You shut your whore mouth!

IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Does Defiance end on a cliff-hanger to anybody who watched?

Sort of, but for the most part it was ended with a sense of closure. They closed off a bunch of plots they had going on, but opened up a whole new big one. The ending works as a series ending rather than just a season ending in some ways, but they left it open enough that they could carry on if they didn't get cancelled.

[ClockShot]

NBC cut The Player's episode order from 13 episodes down to 9.

Sullivan Stapleton ended up getting the better show out of the Strike Back crew. Sorry, Stonebridge :'(

[ClockShot]

CBS gives a full season to Limitless.

ABC cuts Blood & Oil's episodes to 10.

On today's episode of Mythbuster, is pro wrestling real?

[Lock Jaw]

Preacher trailer doesn't really "hook me"..... I never read the comics, but I know it is "supposed to be good", so I will probably check out the show in any case.....

[Sixx]

Hate their choice for Tulip. Sooo miscast.

Cassidy looks pretty good. Needs his shades, though.

[ClockShot]

Scorecard update:

ABC cancels Wicked City after 3 episodes.

The Muppets episode order gets bumped to 16.


The Walking Dead renewed for season 7.

Syfy's Z-Nation renewed for a 3rd season.


Blindspot, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Fire all renewed for new seasons.


American Horror Story gets picked up for a 6th season.

[Lock Jaw]

Enjoyed the Into the Badlands series premiere. I have added it to my series recordings.

I am considering removing Blindspot. Not a big fan of "cop shows". Thought the "twist" would make it good, but dunno... just not feeling it. Plus on last Monday's episode they would continually flash pictures of the victims every time they mentioned them and it was very annoying.

[screech]

Rats. Thought Wicked City was decent.

[ClockShot]

FX cancels Bastard Executioner.

[ClockShot]

CBS gives Supergirl a full season.

[Lock Jaw]

It's slowly been getting better, but still not "great".

[ClockShot]

HBO's The Leftovers gets renewed for a third and final season.

[ClockShot]

According to one of the co-stars, Mike & Molly got cancelled.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I guess McCarthy must be too famous for the show now and they couldn't afford her. Was going to say too big instead....

[ClockShot]

NBC cancels Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That show brought new meaning to excessive. Knew it was doomed.

[ClockShot]

The creator of Pretty Little Liars says season 7 will be it's last.

[ClockShot]

Cancel/Renewed update:

TNT axes Legends, Agent X, and Public Morals.


IFC cancels Benders after 1 season.


Syfy renews The Expanse for season 2.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I have heard of none of these.

[Mercenary]

I have heard of none of these.

No one cares what you heard of

[Simple Fan]

Tv networks do if STD hasn't head of them they get the Axe. Only seen Agent X out of the group and it wasn't that good.

[Lock Jaw]

Is The Expanse that one I keep seeing commercials for that are all "it's like Game of Thrones in space!!!!"

[ClockShot]

Correct.

[Simple Fan]

8X5gXIQmY-E

[Droford]

I have no idea what to expect from Cooper Barett and Bordertown on FOX but im going to watch i guess

[Droford]

Prediction time

Bordertown will get canceled faster than the animated Napoleon Dynamite show (6 eps)

[ClockShot]

Season 7 of TNT's Rizzoli & Isles will be it's last.

[screech]

I enjoyed Cooper Barrett. Bordertown was okay.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I enjoyed Cooper Barrett. Bordertown was okay.

I bet that show is going to be getting some BAAAAAAD NEWWWWWWWWWS

[ClockShot]

Sundance cancels Rectify.

Heard nothing but awesome things about it. Bit of a head scratcher as to why AMC would axe it.

[Juan]

I bet that show is going to be getting some BAAAAAAD NEWWWWWWWWWS

That's Bad News Barrett not Cooper Barrett.

[ClockShot]

NBC cancels Heroes Reborn.

[Lock Jaw]

I thought it was a miniseries.....

[ClockShot]

Kinda like a reboot. But you're right it was billed as a miniseries.

The door was left open if the ratings were good, which they weren't.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I thought it was a miniseries.....

It is.

[Schlomey]

I gave "Superstore" from NBC a try last night and ended up watching all 5 available episodes on Hulu. I really liked it but it did have a fairly weak pilot...It got better/funnier. I hope it sticks around as I don't have any 30 minute comedies left since The Office ended.

It was boring to watch. So I'm not surprised

It's not terrible but it's been done before. 10 items or less.

[Schlomey]

Didn't watch 10 Items Or Less so it's "new" to me and I love the idea because I fucking HATE Wal*Mart and love the "People of Wal*Mart" pix.

[ClockShot]

Watched the first episode of Lucifer on FOX.

Meh, wasn't impressed.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched it.... thought it was ok.... has potential.... going to get canceled anyways, so whatever....

[Schlomey]

Did anyone else watch the 25 hour binge of Angie Tribeca on TBS? I didn't watch it live I DVRd the entire first season. I gotta say, I love it. It's so stupid it's funny...which is the point. What Naked Gun did to cop movies, Angie Tribeca does to the TV cop genre. It takes all the best and worst of shows like NCIS, Bones, Law & Order and makes them hilarious.

[ClockShot]

USA renews Colony for a second season.

[ClockShot]

After 7 seasons, CBS' The Good Wife will come to an end in May.

[Schlomey]

Been watching Grandfathered with Uncle Jessie and the fat kid from Drake n Josh. Honestly did not like it much at first but much like the main character, over time, he kinda charms ya. It's not a bad show and I'd kinda like to see where it goes if it sticks around.

[ClockShot]

CBS cancels Angel from Hell after 5 episodes.

[ClockShot]

A&E cancels Unforgettable.

2nd time it's happened now. Unless one of the streaming outfits picks it up, it'll probably be gone for good.

[ClockShot]

Fox renews Bones for a 12th and final season.

[ClockShot]

ABC renews 15 shows for new seasons. All their freshmen shows with Quantico being the exception, are still in limbo.

[Blue Demon]

CBS is pissing me off with Person of Interest...great show, ordered a half 5th season (more than likely final) and said they'd air it in January....then pushed it back till "spring"....then pushed it back till "summer" I think.....the episodes are filmed, just need to air them, and season 4 left us on a cliff hanger. :mad: :rant:

[ClockShot]

AMC renews Into the Badlands for a 2nd season. It'll get 10 episodes and premiere in 2017.

Quite surprised really. It was an alright show. Nothing groundbreaking or anything.

[Lock Jaw]

I enjoyed it a bunch. Glad it will be back.

[ClockShot]

The CW renews everything in primetime.

[Lock Jaw]

Surprised that Legends of Tomorrow got a renew... feels like a "one time deal".... Also feels like it kind of "just there".... not terrible, but not particularly gripping....

[ClockShot]

It's official. CBS cancels Person of Interest. Final season starts in May.

[Blue Demon]

It's official. CBS cancels Person of Interest. Final season starts in May.

Read that, kinda bitter sweet for me. On one hand, sucks that they're cancelling it but I'd rather have a show end and the whole thing end with the whole thing being good, than have it drag on way too long.

[ClockShot]

History Channel renews Vikings for a 20-episode:eek: 5th season. Almost unheard of on cable channels.


ABC cancels and pulls Of Kings and Prophets after 2 episodes.


And unless it got mentioned in it's own thread, Gotham got renewed for a 3rd season.

[ClockShot]

CBS renews mostly all their primetime veteran shows. Criminal Minds is absent from that list, it's in limbo again.


Their freshman shows i.e. Supergirl, their fate will be decided in the coming weeks.

[Lock Jaw]

Fox actually renews Lucifer for a season 2.

Was 100% sure it was gonna get canceled. Glad it will be back, as I have been quite enjoying it. Much better than Constantine was.

[ClockShot]

NBC renews Grimm for a 6th season.

[ClockShot]

So, I guess the female lead in Sleepy Hollow got killed off last night. There were rumors going around saying that she was unhappy and looking for a way out of the show. And there's a chance that the show might get renewed for a 4th season. Kinda curious where they go if that happens.

[Juan]

The Detour on TBS is pretty funny

[ClockShot]

Stana Katic is leaving Castle after 9 seasons.

The show in general is up in the air in terms of renewal.

[ClockShot]

Hulu renews The Mindy Project for a 5th season.

CBS renews Criminal Minds for a 12 season.

Big news today is that ABC will be determining the fate of Castle sometime today.

[ClockShot]

Black Thursday.

Nashville & Castle both got cancelled. Even though Nathan Fillion did work out a deal to stick around for a 9th season.

CBS cancels CSI: Cyber thus ending the CSI franchise after 16 years.

Good news Supergirl fans. It got renewed for season 2. However, The CW wants to increase it's monopoly with DC shows. So, it's moving there this coming fall.

Marvel's Agent Carter cancelled after 2 seasons.

Over on NBC, the Chicago shows have added a new member of their family. Chicago Justice has been given the green light.

[Lock Jaw]

Booooooo at cancelling Agent Carter (even though it is mostly because Hayley Atwell will be getting steady TV work)

I'd honestly rather have more Agent Carter than more Agents of SHIELD

[Simple Fan]

Same, have lost interest in Agents of Shield and feel they have ruined any chances at a Inhumans movie. Glad to see Supergirl join the CW though.

[Lock Jaw]

I still like Agents of SHIELD in general.... second half of this season hasn't been too great, felt like I was watching it "just because" while waiting for next season to come and Agent Carter to come back.

Also really hate Lincoln, hope he dies..... Also feel like they lost a lot with losing Bobbi and Hunter.... Or else they went away which meant that Lincoln got more screen time.

[Destor]

They cancled Galavant :'(

[ClockShot]

The Muppets also got cancelled.

Fox cancels Grandfathered, The Grinder, Bordertown, and Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life.

[Lock Jaw]

Marvel's Most Wanted, the Bobbi and Hunter spin-off they were gonna make..... is no longer going to be made.

Hope they get added back to the regular cast on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[Destor]

Marvel's Most Wanted, the Bobbi and Hunter spin-off they were gonna make..... is no longer going to be made.

Hope they get added back to the regular cast on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Im really glad to hear this, and I agree they should come back to the cast.

[Innovator]

Sucks they cancelled the Grinder, it was a good show

[ClockShot]

Here's some more.

ABC renews Dr. Ken for a second season :wtf:, and Last Man Standing for a 6th.


NBC axes Game of Silence, Telenovela, Undateable, and Crowded.


Fox cancels Minority Report and Second Chance. BUT..........................renews Sleepy Hollow for a 4th season.

[ClockShot]

The Blacklist is getting it's spin-off. Show will be called The Blacklist: Redemption.

The premise for this is sooooooooooo bad with the big reveal on Thusday's episode.

[ClockShot]

CBS cancels Rush Hour after 1 season.

[ClockShot]

Limitless will not be returning to CBS, but there is hope that it will land on another network.

Showtime cancels House of Lies. Series finale is June 12th.

A&E cancels Damien after 1 season.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Crap Undateable was decent.

[Evil Vito]

Almost feels like it's hard to get into some shows because you just know some will be cancelled straight away. Yet not tuning in because of that mindset only hammers the point home further.

[ClockShot]

Update on Limitless as it was unable to find a new home. It's done.

The end of The Americans is in sight. It's been renewed for 2 more seasons (5th & 6th), and it will end after it's 6th season.

[Simple Fan]

Crap Undateable was decent.

I just found out today. Look to see when it was returning and seen it'd been canceled. Really thought the show was gaining steam and the live shows were cool. Cast really had fun with the show.

[Blonde Moment]

A&E cancels Damien after 1 season.

Wasn't that great but was curious about where they were heading in Season 2

[ClockShot]

Probably the last bit of news for this thread.

Nashville has been saved. Gets a 5th season, 22 episode order over at CMT.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I just found out today. Look to see when it was returning and seen it'd been canceled. Really thought the show was gaining steam and the live shows were cool. Cast really had fun with the show.

Yeah but it was on Friday nights. So, the non-viewers were having fun elsewhere. Usually watched it on Hulu after,
