2015-2016 TV Death Watch

[MustISO]

Life in pieces renewed.

I liked this show when it first started. Liked the format of the vignettes that roll into a larger story. Towards the end of the season I started to like it less. Hopefully they come back stronger in season 2.

Casting Patricia Arquette in the lead was a terribly clueless decision.

I groaned and rolled my eyes when she showed up in Boardwalk Empire. Not sure how she's still being hired as an actress.

I liked Medium a lot, watched it beginning to end, but she is very very monotone...

You know, I liked Medium as well, and didn't seem to mind her in it. But . . . in anything & everything else, I have to agree with MustISO, how the hell does she get hired?

Oh, man, I didn't see more than a few minutes of the show but it looked so pretentious... Not sad that it's gone. And I loved CSI, even a season or two after Grissom left -- jumped the shark when Justin Beiber guest starred.

Sad thing is they axed Vegas to prop up cyber, and then try to bring a Vegas actor to cyber to help the floundering ship when they could have just kept Vegas.

Guess the late decision due to it doing well outside the US.

Casting Patricia Arquette in the lead was a terribly clueless decision.

Yes, the kids at times were a bit whiney, but that probably was wanted to make it more hip with the heavy electronics focus of the shop. As the lead she floated like a lead balloon.

Supergirl made it to CW:

Nashville loses it's notes.

The O'Neals will continue to keep it real as will Supergirl though in a more CW kinda way.

Bunch of freshman series announced included Chicago taking the L&O/CSI mantel with Justice added to the slate.

And just like the name, ABC also dropped the series (The Family).

Criminals beware, America(n) (Crime) will still be looking for you.

Really hoping they reboot this, and hire new writers that know what they are doing.

 

[lupi]

and for the big ones: Agent Carter (I see what I just did), muppets, and Castle flounder in their moats.

hum sunday bloody sunday and add Containment & Galavant to the list.

They won't, but I hope they try a soft reboot at least.

...shame to see them go...

As for muppets & Castle, meh.

I guess Containment was contained.

 

[lupi]

Grinder, Grandfathered, Bordertown, Cooper Barrett didn't follow the guide at Fox.

On the positive side, they can still see the Dr (Ken).

 

[Hugh Jass]

As has been discussed, CBS entering the stream business by leveraging their broadcast ratings and minimizing content they don't produce or have a substantial portion of the rights signed over to them.

Don't care...CBS can still fuck right off.

 

[dr150]

Now Googling: "Agent Carter chick in bathing suit".....

 

[Bowfinger]

Castle is now canceled.

the story lines for Agent Carter were pretty stupid toward the end. The first season I really liked. The second season was kindof a drag. Too bad. I sort of like the period fantasy genre.

Galavant I don't understand. Every episode had pretty funny musical numbers that I would have thought appealed to a fairly large audience. They really did need a different story arc in there though, besides 'saving the princess from the evil queen.' Props to whoever wrote the song lyrics. A lot of good stuff there and I hate almost all musicals and musical-like shows.

Castle is now canceled.

Translation:

Fillion's reduced contract talks stalled.

New Disney TV Prez told him to go fuck a duck and burned Fillion's village for good measure.

Damn, I liked Agent Carter.

Edit: The Catch and The Real O'Neals got renewed...Ratings weren't amazing on The Catch, but it's pretty watchable -- 99% because of the cast.

I couldn't make it though most of season 2 and even then season 1 was bad as it was a horrible marvel tie in type of show and that was the only thing it had going for it.

 

[umbrella39]

I am going to miss Carter. Got a little screwy near the end of season two but I thought with the right storylines and writing they could salvage it.

 

[lupi]

Just cause I know yall hate when I kept telling you the same thing, now it's spreading to the other networks.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Castle is now canceled.

Any good? I've never seen it.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Just saw that Grinder was canceled (and I see it reported above). It was actually kind of humorous. I liked the premise more than the plot, though.

 

[Perknose]

Grinder, Grandfathered, Bordertown, Cooper Barrett didn't follow the guide at Fox.

On the positive side, they can still see the Dr (Ken).

I watched and actually liked Grinder, possibly because of my fondness for the "comically self-deprecating" Rob Lowe that emerged for me in Parks and Rec.

Bordertown was world class awful. I can't emphasize this enough. Because of its writing provenance, I twice tried to give it a chance. I couldn't get through more than 3 minutes of it either time.

The network churn on new series is insane. Why do they keep replacing the same old thing with a new version of the same old thing?
