2015-2016 TV Death Watch

[Imp]

Dr. Ken got a full season order.

Also saw on imdb that Blindspot got renewed.

 

[zinfamous]

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

agreed. I haven't been able to watch one in a decade or more.

Too much vaseline lens and the writing to match it.

I must have missed this, but we have another chapter in our from the dead series, Unforgettable is resurrected on 11/27 on A&E.

Heard about that after last year's cancellation... Was wondering when it'd be on.

Think it used to be a summer drama. I saw the previous season, actually kind of liked it.

 

[lupi]

Yes, it was a fairly decent summer viewing program.

 

[BoomerD]

Yeah...not "OMG! The BEST show EVAR!", but watchable.

That one's got more lives than a cat. It was cancelled twice already. I admit I watched it.

 

[Imp]

Oh, I just remembered. The star of Unforgettable got knocked up earlier in the year. That probably delayed filming.

I hope they bring on a brand new CSI: Bumblefucksville

 

[SMOGZINN]

I hope they bring on a brand new CSI: Bumblefucksville

CSI: Anchorage - The Hottest Crimes in the Coldest City! This week a man turns up frozen to death, but the CSI team quickly determines (out of pure boredom) that foul play might be involved. Could it be that he was sleeping with his best friend’s wife, one of the few women in this town of men?

In every episode that the victim just got drunk and passed out on his way home and froze to death. This is done by blowing up and sharpening a blurry image captured by a tourist where the man in question can almost be seen from a reflection in the eye of a moose.

Hell on Wheels canceled - that's a real bummer. Will end with the completion of Season 5.

NooOOoOOO! sucks.

Though, I can see that happening with this season, as they have the same exact rotation as The Wire:

1st Season: Great--nothing super special but compelling from episode to episode.
2nd season: good, but whatthefuck batshit off the walls. (I liked that 2nd season, but it was nearly avant garde at times)
Season 3 and 4: awesome. Pure goodness.
Season 5...mostly boring.

ABC's Wicked City becomes the first officially cancelled show of the fall.

Axed after three episodes and Shark Tank repeats will take over its spot effective immediately.

Man, Jeremy Sisto can't catch a break. Suburgatory, The Returned, and now this.

 

[JC]

The Player was doomed from the start, IMO. Blindspot seems to have a limited plot well, I predict it will sink next year.

 

[lupi]

By making it official, ABC becomes the three-peat winner of first cancelled show of the fall season.

Murder-in-the-first, following the theme of threes, renewed for it's third.

Yeah...I like Sisto.

Seems the only things he could get 50+ episodes out of though was Suburgatory and Law and Order...and I enjoyed him in both.

The first season of Murder in the First started out interesting but then turned out to feel like a bad copy of The Killing (not to mention a terrible ending), but in season two they really kicked it up a few notches, found its identity, and became a pretty good show. I'm looking forward for the third season!

Not surprising. That show really sucked. Serial killer soap opera. Absolutely nothing interesting about it.

Win :thumbsup:

You Bastard!

The Executioner is Executed after one season.


ABC seems to thinkg they'll be having content problems (not surprisingly judged by how many shows they already put in the cancel & defacto cancelled category), so Blackish, Middle, Goldbergs, and Fresh Boat all got two extra episode orders.

Wut? I watched almost all of the first season. It was anything but compelling. Heck on Wheels virtually defined empty-ass mediocrity. It was a lumbering, shallow, surface-shiny, penny postcard of a show. If you couldn't perceive the difference between this idiot amalgamation of stiffly acted, tired tropes and cliches and a good show, the 1930s called to tell you, "Son, you can't tell shit from shinola."

And . . . lol at calling the 2nd season avant garde. There's a difference between a toddler let loose with paint and some Ritalin and Jackson Pollock . . . not much of a difference, but still!

So, random T&A and threesomes didn't sell the show?

Oh, that is bullshit. All of those shows suck ass. They're designed to appeal to a particular demo though so I guess that's enough to keep them on the air.

And bummer about Bastard Executioner. I really liked that. They needed to spice it up with a little more supernatural stuff though. Of course I love period dramas no matter how bad they are. I even watch Reign. But if anyone repeats that I will say my account was hacked and I didn't write that.

Agent X has me nervous. The first two episodes were decent, then in the last one it suddenly jumped into some vast shadow government conspiracy that wants to overthrow the president. At the end the Speaker of the House threw some guy off a building.

Not sure if James Earl Jones can even save this one.

I don't have a lot of hope for this one. It feels like a cheesy rip off of XIII or one of dozens of other shows with a similar theme.
