2015-2016 TV Death Watch

[Imp]

Mike and Molly is dead.

I'm surprised it lasted that long. It looked semi-watchable, but the vibe I got was geriatric.

 

[BoomerD]

I can't believe Scorpion is still alive. (or that it even made it past the first episode)

The idea behind the show is GREAT...but the acting, casting, and script writing are HORRID! (although Katherine McPhee is easy on the eyes)

That's soooo true. I forced myself to watch the first season but now I just delete it every time it's recorded.

No announcement by CBS but cast "confirming" that this will be a shortened final season for mike&molly.

The Leftovers renewed for a final season.

Stern show receives a 12 year renewal.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

Mike and Molly was never watchable.

It's a 5 year deal. 12 years on licensing.

 

[Linux23]

Mike and Molly was never watchable.

It was funny before they got new producers. I'm gonna miss that show though.

Did anyone watch that crap?

Did anyone watch that crap?

Public Morals was great. As was Legends.

What else does TNT have other than Last Ship (which is only decent)? Everything else is terrible.

 

[BoomerD]

The first season of Legends was ok...not great, but not terrible either.

Agent X is also OK. Definitely not anything "believable," but fun to watch.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Did anyone watch that crap?

Didn't Legends have Sean Bean? I remember telling myself to catch it because of him but didn't hear rave reviews for the show and never followed through.

Yeah... I'm not bothering with those.

Must be hard watching the show knowing that Sean Bean was due to die.

I don't mind Scorpion, but the thing that's hard with a show like that is that your characters are largely eccentric and somewhat unlikable. It also doesn't help that it isn't impossible to realize that some of the things that they do are completely unrealistic. Heck, the first episode had someone stand up in a convertible going over 100 MPH (pretty sure it was that fast). Yeah... that's not going to work so well for the person trying to stand up.

Librarians, murder in the first, and major crimes all of which was renewed.

I get that the characters would be....odd. (much like some of the folks here) But it's the constant requirement to abandon any knowledge of how things actually work that killed the show for me. (kind of like CSI Cyber)

As I was saying...

 

[cronos]

As I was saying...

I enjoyed MITF season 2 (season 1 not so much. Started out okay but the ending ruined it), and Librarian is pretty fun for watching together with my son. I haven't seen Major Crime.

 

[lupi]

Seems Mike&Molly getting the POI treatment. It's also a non-CBS produced show at the end of the initial contract and rather than pay for a show with good but not great ratings where you won't get the syndication rights/money, they're happy to dump it for something new instead.

The man in the high castle gets season

The awesomes cancelled.

Vikings given a couple extra episodes for the next season.

 

[lupi]

Benders canned while the Expanse will be around for at least a bit more exploration.

Benders wasn't bad. It had a Man Seeks Woman vibe but I guess wasn't off the wall crazy enough to be popular.

Some talk show news: Ellen granted through 2020 while The Meredith Vieira Show goes lights out.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

The Meredith Vieira Show goes lights out.

That show was horrible. Great news.
