Cancelled shows of Tomorrow: The War on Chuck Lorre

[DarkSovereignty]

Is that a walking dead joke? Because if so...

Spoiler

 

[DrDoom]

To be fair Walking Dead has that now too

 

[<(o_o)>]

Well, that's a shame...

Maybe they could give Kutcher an illegitimate son sent to live with him & bingo 2 & A Half Men again.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

You know it's time to kill a show when it only has one of its original three principle characters left. It's practically a spin off now (granted I don't watch it either way, but the fact they keep it limping on is both pathetic and hilarious).

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Jon Cryer would stay with that show if it ran 30 seasons. He literally has nothing else.

 

[terry78]

He's already set for life, I don't know what else he wants. He can do supporting roles in movies, do some theatre. He was the original voice of the main character in that Disney Planes movie but they dubbed Dane Cook over it because he wasn't as popular back then.

The second season with Ashton was considerably better than the first one. It certainly feels like they're finding their own path. Sure, the show may be juvenile and some times repetitive, but there's no harm in spending 20 minutes laughing a little bit. 10x better than most "new" sitcoms.

Nope.

Up until a few months ago I thought Melissa McCarthy was doing just movies that I didn't know about her show Mike & Molly, why is that show still on? is anybody watching? I hardly hear any mention of it on shows like E! and Entertainment Tonight.

It's like it's being given a slow death in the hopes that somebody will take pity and watch it to boost one rating point.

 

[wiegeabo]

I thought it was doing well.

 

[Sawyer]

Ratings =/= buzz

Most of CBS shows get huge numbers, but for the most part, no one REALLY gives a **** about them. Mike and Molly is a prime example of that.

Mike and Molly was renewed for another season. In fact, CBS has renewed 90% of their shows so far.

Billy Crystal To Topline Comedy Series From Matt Nix, Larry Charles & Fox TV Studios
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: A hot comedy project is expected to hit the cable marketplace next week. I hear the untitled comedy has Billy Crystal attached to star, co-write and executive produce, Burn Notice creator Matt Nix co-writing/executive producing and Curb Your Enthusiasm and Borat&#8216;s Larry Charles directing/co-writing and executive producing. Fox TV Studios, where Nix is under an overall deal, is producing. Details about the premise are sketchy but I hear the project is based on an European format and is described as an edgy comedy. Charles and Crystal are co-writing with comedy writer-producer Ben Wexler, who previously worked with Nix on Nix&#8217;s Fox dramedy The Good Guys. The four executive produce with Nix&#8217;s manager, producer Mikkel Bondesen of Fuse Entertainment, who also is under a deal at FtvS. Bondesen has experience adapting European formats for the U.S., most notably with the AMC drama The Killing, which is coming back for Season 3 next month. USA&#8217;s Burn Notice will kick off its seventh season also in June.

This marks Crystal&#8217;s return to TV. After stints on Soap, his own variety show and Saturday Night Live in the 1980s, Crystal has been focused on features, only returning to TV to host the Oscars and to direct and executive produce the HBO baseball movie 61*. His pairing with Charles is particularly intriguing because of Charles&#8217; successful collaboration with another top stand-up comedian, Larry David, on a cable comedy, HBO&#8217;s Curb Your Enthusiasm. Wexler most recently worked on NBC&#8217;s Community. Charles most recently directed ABC&#8217;s comedy Mixology, which is a contender for a series pickup. Crystal next reprises his role in the voice cast of Pixar&#8217;s Monsters Inc. sequel.

Crystal is with CAA, Charles and Nix are with WME.

Pilot season isn't even over, and the next development season has already begun...

Cops goes from Fox to Spike TV:

[wiegeabo]

Fox's last original show.

Hell of a run.

 

[Sawyer]

Eh. Never really served a purpose as far as I'm concerned. Not like America's Most Wanted...

 

[wiegeabo]

Oh, I agree. But it's been on the air for 25 years.

 

[Sawyer]

If You Love Him So Much, CBS, Why Don't You Marry Him?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Ugh, I would wish chuck Lorre would suffer a brain damaging head injury so as to prevent him from developing shows...but I think it already happened, but he just kept making shows.

 

[Sawyer]

It has begun...

NBC Pilot Update: Projects That Are Not Going Forward Get Notified
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

3RD UPDATE 3:45 PM: Turns out we&#8217;re not quite done yet. Off-cycle medical drama pilot Night Shift (formerly After Hours), which had been in contention and received an order for backup scripts, just got a pass too.

2ND UPDATE: Also confirmed as dead are high-concept drama pilot Bloodline and comic book adaptation The Sixth Gun, which started off strong but lost steam as the pilot season progressed. These are all pilots that have been cut for now, with the rest remaining in contention, including untitled Robert Padnick, which is hanging by a thread but still alive.

UPDATE: The Gates; Joe, Joe & Jane and The Secret Lives Of Husbands And Wives are dead too. Brenda Forever got a call too, but, while not an option for fall, I hear there is a possibility that it may stay in contention.

PREVIOUS 2:20 PM: This is a call every producer is dreading this time of year. I hear NBC has started notifying the pilots that are out of contention for next season. I hear those that have gotten word so far are drama Hatfields & McCoys and comedy Holding Patterns. Will update with more as information comes in.

Also, Deception got canned.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Any word on Hannibal? It's such a brilliant show.

 

[Sawyer]

Not yet. Hopefully soon, with upfronts next week. I'm definitely hoping it stays.

FOX Picks Up 4 Drama Pilots: Rake, Gang Related, Sleepy Hollow and Almost Human

That's double the amount of dramas they picked up last season. They must not have been pleased with having their fall drama fail right out of the gate and being forced to wait until midseason to air their other drama series.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I wish anyone else other than NBC had Hannibal.

 

[Sawyer]

Eh. It'd be better off being on a cable net, but I think they deserve a bit of credit for picking it up at all and giving a Fuller a big degree of creative freedom. They just absolutely botched it in the scheduling department.
