TV Cancelled shows of Tomorrow: The War on Chuck Lorre - Part 9

[Jason Kane]

He does know how to keep eyes glued to the set year after year.
Grace Under Fire - 5 years
Dharma & Greg - 5 years
Two and a Half Men - 12 years
Mike and Molly - 5 years
The Big Bang Theory - 10 years and counting
Mom - 3 years so far.

Those were him??

I feel like 5-7 years is the ideal for most shows

 

[Teelie]

Most shows only go that long because it gets too expensive to keep going. As long as the show makes a profit most networks will happily keep going long past a series prime. It's usually a showrunner or the actors who have to quit a show that's still successful after 7 years and out of ideas.

Bones Boss Already Eyeing Revival: 'I'm Not Considering This the End'

A creator aiming for a revival before the show has even wrapped would give me virtually no hope that their finale will stick the landing.

Loads of people turn out for The Big Bang Theory while Happy Endings barely scraped by for three seasons. Y'all are trash.

True story...

 

[Osiris-Rex]

Loads of people turn out for The Big Bang Theory while Happy Endings barely scraped by for three seasons. Y'all are trash.

Comedies like Seinfeld, Freinds, The Big Bang Theory get high viewership, get high scores from the TV critics, prestigious awards like Emmys and Golden Globes, and last a long time because they are funny.

 

[Drizzle]

Any time I see someone call The Big Bang Theory funny, I have to post these:

It's painfully unfunny and it uses the laugh track as a crutch and lots of people just think it's funny because laughter is contagious.

BBT is not funny, has never been funny, will never be funny

its toothless harmless pablum

I mean, Everybody Loves Raymond lasted for 9 seasons? and that was never funny

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

BBT is not funny, has never been funny, will never be funny

its toothless harmless pablum

I mean, Everybody Loves Raymond lasted for 9 seasons? and that was never funny

f***ing THANK YOU!... I'm tired of all these BBT defenders of the faith who continually try to justify the existence of this waste of the airwaves... just because it's been on for all these years doesn't mean it IS funny... sometimes a fluke just happens and sticks around like a bad case of the runs...

 

[Xrated48]

I still watch the show but I'll admit the only thing funny about the show is sheldon cooper

I enjoyed BBT when I watched sitcoms. Now I dont like any of them.

Everybody Loves Raymond never appealed to me. Ray was just too much of a whiny nasally *****. Ruined the whole damn show.

If he's the only funny thing about that show...... Lordt.

Sheldon the least funny one for me. I just find his juvenile behavior annoying Wolowitz is the standout one for me. If they are going to do a spin-off, it should be Howard and Bernadette, with Raj as the pathetic friend always dropping in.

 

[Blue42]

Big Bang Theory is not funny at all.

Actually the first one is still funny without the laugh track. I notice the second scene pops up a lot by people trying to claim TBBT isn't funny. But it was really just a set up for the rest of the show and I don't think that scene was meant to be
a fall on the floor laughing scene anyway. There are much funnier scenes in that episode that would still be funny without a laugh track. For example the scene with them at Kurt's apartment.

Marc Cherry Southern Drama Starring Reba McEntire Gets ABC Pilot Order

The new drama centers on Ruby Adair (McEntire), the sheriff of colorful small town Oxblood, KY, who finds her red state outlook challenged when a young FBI agent of Middle Eastern descent is sent to help her solve a horrific crime. Together they form an uneasy alliance as Ruby takes the agent behind the lace curtains of this Southern Gothic community to meet an assortment of bizarre characters, each with a secret of their own.

Reba McEntire + Murder Mystery Soap Opera + Middle Eastern Co-Lead is really a perfect storm of concepts that I could never have envisioned would end up in a single show together, and that just makes me all the more curious to see it, good or bad.

 

[TheCommissioner]

Id put my face in Rebas butt

 

[Rowsdower!]

Sounds like an updated version of In the Heat of the Night. As for Reba, the only thing I've ever liked her in was Tremors.

 

[Parker Wayne]

Oh, and what's the joke about "the war on Chuck Lorre?" I went a few contitinuations back but couldn't find it.

That was actually me (on my first profile).

A few years ago (I think it was 2012?), we use to go through a few subtitles, and I was the one that got the thread changed to "The War on Chuck Loore". We just haven't switched to a new title since.

CBS Picks Up Dana Klein/Mark Feuerstein Comedy, Andy Weir NASA Drama To Pilot

9J, 9K, And 9L, produced by Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, was written by Friends With Better Lives creator Klein and Feuerstein inspired by a time in Feuerstein’s adult life when he lived in apartment 9K in the building he grew up in, sandwiched between his parents’ apartment, 9J, and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby’s apartment, 9L, and his attempts to set boundaries with his intrusive but well-meaning family. CBS landed the project in August in a competitive situation with a major penalty.

Written by Weir, Mission Control revolves around the next generation of NASA astronauts and scientists who juggle their personal and professional lives during a critical mission with no margin for error.

A NASA show by the author of The Martian sounds great, but you know CBS is gonna strip away everything interesting and procedural the hell out of it if they pick it up. I don't even really know how, but they will.

Berlanti TV FBI Drama ‘Deception’, Sci-Fi ‘The Crossing’ Picked Up To Pilot By ABC

Deception was written by Fedak, with WBTV-based helmer David Nutter, who directed the pilots for Berlanti TV’s CW series The Flash and Arrow expected to direct. The drama centers on superstar magician Cameron Black. When his career is ruined by scandal, he has only one place to turn to practice his art of deception, illusion, and influence — the FBI. He’ll become the world’s first consulting illusionist, helping the government solve crimes that defy explanation, and trap criminals and spies by using deception.

Written/executive produced by Dworkin and Beattie and executive produced by former Disney executive-turned-producer Jason Reed, The Crossing revolves around refugees from a war torn country who start showing up to seek asylum in an American town. Only the country these people are from is America and the war they are fleeing is 250 years in the future. The local sheriff with a past, a federal agent, and a mother in search of her missing refugee daughter drive this allegory with a surprising conspiracy at the center.

Refugees from war-torn future America = sure, I'm in
The Mentalist with card tricks = meh

‘Black-Ish’ Spinoff Starring Yara Shahidi In Works At ABC From Kenya Barris & Larry Wilmore

ABC is looking to spin off its acclaimed family comedy Black-ish. I’ve learned that the network is working with series creator/executive producer Kenya Barris and ABC Studios on the project, which would be toplined by Black-ish co-star Yara Shahidi and focus on her character Zoey Johnson in college. I hear the idea is for the potential new comedy series, created by Barris and former Black-ish showrunner Larry Wilmore, to be introduced as a backdoor pilot episode on Black-ish this spring. Sources stress that talks for the spinoff are still in very early stages, with no script and deals in place.

Wilmore, who was executive producer/showrunner on Black-ish for the show’s first 13 episodes before leaving to topline his Comedy Central late-night show, recently returned to ABC Studios with an overall deal. I hear he had an original idea for a college comedy, which was melded with the plan for a Zoey Black-ish spinoff.

Zoey — Dre (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow’s (Tracee Ellis Ross) popular, entitled, stylish and socially active 17-year-old daughter — is a natural focal point for a new series as she is college-bound. This season, to bolster her applications, her dad got her an internship at Teen Vogue where she has excelled.

Given that family comedies are their bread and butter now, I'll be curious to see if a college-set show works out.

Not a lot of high concept stuff.
