Series low, by quite a wide margin, for the Leftovers. I applaud America for tuning out of this garbage.

When you say series low, do you mean your thoughts on the episode or has viewership been released?
I thought that was a pretty solid episode. After reading that Reza article someone posted most the questions I had were answered and makes sense.

Hopefully it can pull thru as the season progresses.
first ep was awful, havent willed myself to watch the second yet (or the third obviously)
Looks like ABC Family is being renamed Freeform.
Terrible name aside, I'm shocked they can do that. I thought the network had a poison pill clause that if they removed the word Family or cancelled the 700 Club they lost all their carriage agreements.
I know that at one point they wanted to rename it the XYZ but decided they couldn't. Wonder what changed?

Wow, I can't imagine the amount of money they had to pony up to change the name and possibly cancel the 700 club.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
From Deadline:
I'm pretty surprised, too. I almost don't believe it when they say that there is no legal obstacle because they would have done this years ago if they could.
Got that for the radio when I was 10. Of course, being a shitty 10 year old I just pocketed the two bucks that came with the journal. Parents found out eventually and faked them. I probably ruined the only chance to impact TV ratings.
Here, let me give you a list of shows to watch live. Plz then watch no other shows on that said network. kthnx
Also what are you doing on Saturdays in January at like 9pm
Me neither.

Figured. I'll keep it on the low.
.So they just do random calls to ppl to see if they want to do it?
The demographics questioning was funny. He only offered me black or white. I was thinking why can't I be a Mexican with the name Zackery. I know it doesn't sound like any other race, but would still like the option lol.
I'm in shock. It's among the worst premieres I've ever seen. It was a massive nope after 10 minutes, and I love the guy.

That's the lowest rated L+SD episode of a recurring scripted HBO drama series since the second episode of Luck in 2012.
Watch Reign.

This reminds me that I need to sub to TV Talk Machine... rip TV podcasts.Oh, boy.
Everyone should sub to TV Talk Machine and The Incomparable. Great podcasts.

Just don't like Goodman that much, but he's basically the King by default now. lol
I think he works well enough with Jason Snell (and David Loehr). I don't seem to share his tastes in TV, but I still find the podcast entertaining and interesting enough to listen to it once a week.

Yeah. I'm hoping Feinberg joins him... although I wonder if they would have any chemistry together.
I don't even know who is around at Hitfix that Sepinwall could work with though.
The Mysteries of Laura is a better cop show than Minority Report.
But you might ask, but what about the sci-fi elements of Minority Report? Well, the answer to that is that most of that is just pointless CGI.
Literally every other "cop show" that launched this year is infinitely more enjoyable than MR. They at least are moving their longer plots much faster than expected. MR is glacially slow. Or if we should be fair, Limitless is more full on cop show but at least that's entertaining to watch.
Watch iZombie!

The SyFy in Minority Report is god awful. Maybe it gets better, but it's like terrible shit I wrote in high school.
Like, I wanted to create a world where the gender norms shifted and I wrote a scene where the male characters talked about applying make up in the morning. But I forgive myself because I was 14 and I thought that was being edgy and transgressive.
Minority Report is less sophisticated than that. lol

Wait, it's worse than Scorpion? Dear god I'm glad I skipped it completely.

And here I thought ~10 minutes of cavewoman birth was the ticket to ratings gold.

That intro reeked of a desperate attempt to generate a watercooler moment to get people talking about the new season. I guess it kind of worked?
Scorpion is awesome. Best new show of last season for me.

I've watched all of Scorpion and can't tell if the positive replies here is sarcasm or not...
It's still better than Minority Report. Yech.
Blindspot isn't just doing decent, it's pretty much a hit by 2015 standards, especially for NBC and as long as the ratings don't nose dive it's going to get another season..
It's dreadfully boring and absent of any sort of charisma, personality and the lead is annoying and no one has any chemistry on top of the aforementioned lack of charisma.
At least Limitless has a lead has some charm, I hope they don't continue to lean on the "we got Bradley Cooper to shoot this scene, let's show it multiple times again in the next episode to remind people" thing.

I should drop Minority Report since its safe to say it won't around much longer and probably not going to evolve into something worth watching.Gotham took a hit
Minority Report may want to see about it's own future
Seems a lot of stuff was softer this week

Well, they're not dropping The 700 Club so that deal must still be in place.

After seeing two episodes of Grandfathered. Here's what I think. It's a cute way to spend 30 minutes. I like it.

I wonder how much of that is by request from the network and how much of that is Bradley Cooper as an exec producer saying "let's use that footage of me again"...

Tim Goodman has bad taste in TV, that's not something I'm looking for.
I started and quickly quit after he told listeners that The Walking Dead is the show they should be watching come the fall and that Homeland deserved its Emmy nomination for Best Drama.
He's just not for me, and his co-host doesn't seem to watch anything outside of what Tim tells him he should be watching which makes for boring conversations.
I listened to a few of their podcasts while I was slogging through Mad Max and they were ok for background noise but once I was actually listening to what they were saying I gave up quickly.
I need something to replace Firewall & Iceberg and this certainly isn't it.

Are there any TV podcasts by people who don't watch superhero tv shows as a matter of principle? I'd maybe give one of those a try.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Maybe if this came out in like 2008. But it's been over a decade since the movie came out. I doubt many people in their early to mid 20s even know about the film.
The pilot was terrible. The murder plot they chose as the big mystery for that first episode was just dumb. Not even because of some weird futuristic spin. It was just bad.
Nobody in the cast really pops,and the two leads have zero chemistry with each other. Meagan Good is okay, but the guy they cast was a bit of a mistake.
I'm a huge fan of the movie, so I've been fairly disappointed with the show. I was hoping bare minimum this would be as fun as Sleepy Hollow was in its first season. On a positive note, the second and third episodes were a little better.

Goodman sucks and his support of Walking Dead is baffling, but I can't get too upset over Homeland getting nominated for the Best Drama Emmy since the show is still really solid. I wouldn't call it one of the best seven dramas on television, but in a year where they gave the award to the worst season of Game of Thrones it seems like a minor quibble at best. It's not like its slot would have gone to Rectify or something.
The movie wasn't a huge hit though, it shares no actors with the movie, and it is a science-fiction show on FOX. The majority of the audience for a science-fiction show doesn't watch when it is on FOX.
