2015-2016 TV Death Watch

Um... jump the shark?

Just saw an ad for next week: Bones and Sleepy Hollow cross-over. How the hell do you cross-over a more serious, science based show with one where there are monsters, doorways to purgatory, and super powers?

 

[MustISO]

I stopped watching Minority Report after two episodes. Didn't care for the writing.
Rosewood stopped after the first episode. Too much like Bones.
Blindspot I can stick with through a season but there are some annoying issues with the show.

Isn't there one guy on Bones who's into conspiracy theories? I don't recall that he was ever into the supernatural but then it's been years since I watched that show.

I was curious enough to watch... and... meh.

Good I like this show.

Honest to God, I don't get who watches these network dramas -- they are all horrible.

Thank God. I love Blindspot, and that's usually the kiss of death for any show.

I'll take a decent drama any day over more "reality" slop.

I sorta liked The Player but I won't be sorry to see it go. They're all pretty cliche but The Player at least moved things along and there was some ok action,.

Wesley Snipes just can't catch a break.

He actually was doing a pretty good job in that show. I liked it.

So, that Bones and Sleepy Hollow cross-over actually worked. Watched both episodes and it wasn't bad.

Still no major cancellations yet...

how did they manage to get Crane into their story line on Bones?

Spoiler

Bones people were doing a case involving General Howe's skeleton. Someone murdered while studying it or something. That brought Crane and Abbey to D.C. to get the skeleton shipped to Sleepy Hollow -- they got it after the case was solved.

Skeleton goes back to Sleepy Hollow, and in Sleepy Hollow (the show), the general is reanimated as an undead thing. To kill it, Crane/Abbey go to D.C. to get help from Bones people to find Howe's secret burial chamber.

So... they essentially kept all the batshit crazy, supernatural stuff contained in Sleepy Hollow.

They are up to about 5 shows that have had initial season episode order cut so they're in the defacto cancelled camp. Looks like they're letting them ride out a bit so the replacements can start after the holiday break instead of going with repeat fillers.

I sorta liked The Player but I won't be sorry to see it go. They're all pretty cliche but The Player at least moved things along and there was some ok action,.

From what I could tell, The Player was a bad clone of Person of Interest. The Player was Mr. Reese; The Dealer was Mr. Finch; and The House (Snipes) was The Machine.

Only really care about Scream Queens and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend right now... The latter has horrible ratings but it's on the CW so bad is not as bad compared to network.

Getting tired of seeing Quantico ads and wouldn't mind it leaving. Every week, every episode ad is of the main Bollywood star being banged. Few weeks ago, it was her in a car, week following was her in a bedroom, most recently she was getting banged in the shower. We get it, they fuck. What else are you selling?

P.S. I'm watching Canadian TV ads so maybe ABC is peddling other wares.

 

[lupi]

Caught up on Quantico. So far my main thought is that the story background plot very specific to a one season type time frame and what are they going to do next.


Also the difference between the "younger" shelby and the current shelby is disturbing.

ABCS version of Battlebots will return next Summer.
