wow

 

[Sawyer]

It honestly could not have looked less appealing. I'm shocked it was picked up in the first place.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh, FOX... pathetic, desperate, ugly little FOX... what will we do with you?

 

[Shifty]

Are ABC promos really claiming that America has fallen in love with The Neighbors?

While I'll give it this, out of all the comedies that premiered this year it is still the highest rated one.
ABC, Fox, NBC and CBS have cancelled comedies and none have been a hit. Go On and The New Normal are sinking without The Voice as a lead in.


Animal Practice
Guys with Kids
Next Caller
Go On
The New Normal
Malibu Country
Partners
Ben and Kate
The Mindy Project

All of the above new shows should be getting higher ratings or have stars/writers that would make you think the show would get a higher demo or number of viewers. Nope. Granted there are a lot of comedies on Tuesday which certainly hurts all shows involved with live results but WTF America?\

The Neighbors somehow is still around, cushioned in the sweetest timelot between The Middle and Modern Family. Still there is a chance that ABC pulls the plug on the series in May and hopes a new show can fill their slot as it doesn't retain well from The Middle or lead in well for Modern Family. It will probably come back for a second season and ABC will resurrect TGIF again by moving it to Fridays with Malibu Country, Last Man Standing and maybe Suburgatory .

 

[Sawyer]

I feel bad for Go On and New Normal. At least give them a lead-in that is appealing to young people while The Voice is away. Betty White is a lovely woman, I'm sure, but that weird trend with her that has popped up over the last few years is tired.

Next Caller? What was that?

Detective Drama From Michael Cuesta & Carol Mendelsohn Gets CBS Pilot Order
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

CBS has added one more pilot to its drama roster, greenlighting Second Sight, from Michael Cuesta, director/executive producer of the Emmy-winning Homeland and CSI executive producer/showrunner Carol Mendelsohn. Based on the 2000 British series starring Clive Owen, Second Sight is described as a gothic psychological thriller about a detective who is suddenly afflicted with an autoimmune virus that causes hallucinations reflective of his subconscious. He discovers that catching the killer depends as much on insight as eyesight. (watch the trailer for the original series below.) Cuesta wrote the adaptation with his brother Gerald Cuesta. The two previously teamed for another CBS drama project, the cult 2007 zombie pilot Babylon Fields, which Gerald co-wrote and Michael directed. Michael Cuesta is set to direct Second Sight, which he is executive producing with Mendelsohn, her executive Julie Weitz, Paula Milne, who created the original series, and Nick Reed. Weitz secured the rights to the British format for Carol Mendelsohn Prods. through British-born agent-turned-producer Reed, with whom she previously worked together at ICM. Gerald Cuesta and Phil Goldfine are co-executive producing.

Michael Cuesta shared in Homeland‘s best drama series Emmy win. There are four series currently on the air whose pilots he directed: Showtime’s Homeland and Dexter and CBS’ Blue Bloods and Elementary. Cuesta and Mendelsohn are with WME.

Alright, this seems like something I could be interested in and could possibly work on CBS. Follow through on that, CBS.

Is that worse than Lone star numbers?

It was the worst demo number for a series premiere ever.
This shouldn't be on for a second week.

Brian William's low rated newsmagazine earned higher demo numbers.

I love me some Betty, but she's been too overexposed the last couples years----I do find her prank show amusing in one of those if nothing else is on I'll check it out kinda way...

Everyone called that.

The vein has spoken.

I think this is a great place to put this.

Slashfilm's Peter Scrietta, and Producer Dana Brunetti, a producer for Netflix show House of Cards got in a friendly twitter debate about Netflix's full season release of House of Cards?

What do you guys think? Do you guys think this is good for consumers? Do you think it's good for Netflix? Will we see more of this in the future and how will this affect TV?

 

[Prison Mike]

I personally hope this is how all television will be done in the future.

Sounds like a cross between Medium and A Gifted Man. I'm not sure about this one since the concept is kind unique but how long can a show like that go on before people tire of the somewhat contrived plot.

Sounds like another take on that Jeff Goldblum detective show. Or another version of TNT's Perception.

It all depends on how much Fox, Comcast, CBS, Time Warner and Disney will fight to resist it.

There is certainly the argument about having a weekly show to build buzz and have word of mouth spread throughout the season as well to keep subscribers for multiple months.

Some may keep HBO for 3 months to watch Game of Thrones. I waited for Homeland to be finished and watched it in a week on demand.

Right now House of Cards follows the movie format where its talked about for a few weeks and then it will die down. Its like releasing a 13 hour movie once a year and they may get a bump come Emmy time.

Like HBO's first steps into original programming in the 1980s its just the beginning and we won't know what things will be like 5 or 10 years from now.

Now that they've shown you can do a quality drama on Netflix, writers/directors will be much more open to Netflix or Amazon and do a mini-series or a season. Arrested Development's episode count increased because Netflix was fine with that. If it was on Showtime or FX that wouldn't have likely happened.

While AMC is burned bridges and continues turning off people, Netflix outbid them (and HBO) for House of Cards and will be the new hot home for original programming.

I don't know. The trailer for the original series with Clive Owen made it look much more grim than either of those two.

Kevin Pollak Will Co-Star in Beverly Hills Cop Pilot for CBS

 

[wiegeabo]

I didn't even know that was going to be a show...

 

[DrDoom]

Yeah, Brandon T. Jackson is playing Axel's son.

Pretty good casting for what is most likely gonna be a bad show
