2016-17 TV Cancellations Thread: TNT finds "Nothing can come of nothing."

Yeah, the movie was solid for sure, and holds up pretty well now - we just watched it for the first time last year, before the show premiered. I agree leaning harder on the time travel would have been much more interesting, in watching the series we discussed a lot that there were missed opportunities where the time travel seemed inconsistent or under-utilized. I think the ending you proposed would definitely be an interesting diversion from the movie.

I also want to mention as a side note that the reveal of the partner's dark secret was really dull as far as deep dark secrets go.
Dull describes the whole show. Even the time travelling love triangle. lol

Anyone watch One Day at a Time on Netflix? I tried the first episode, but found generic (the studio audience, fake or not, is killing me) like Fuller House but without any of the nostalgia to sell it. But then Tara from EHG/P.TV said it's a great show so I'm trying to keep going.
 
Seriously. I don't know if I'm just out of the loop on TV news since Firewall & Iceberg ended or there is just too much TV these days but I was genuinely surprised to find out in the past week that:

1) Bryan Cranston is already back on TV in a regular role
2) Graham Yost is already running a new show (see 1)
3) Tim Olyphant is back on TV in a regular role

At this point you could tell me that a new season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is airing next week and I would almost believe it.

Santa Clarita Diet stars 2 major stars too so its strange that Ive never heard about it. Maybe im just not looking in the right places.

youre killin me guyz
 

Fortitude is next week?!

Oh man. Oh man!!

...where the hell will it be playing now that Pivot's gone? Sky Atlantic and Super Channel here in Canada get it, but no word on where the US will have it that I can find.

Someone really needs to do a TV podcast. It's been a year with nothing to fill the void. lol

I'd do one but it would be scary boring and full of catching up on shows from months back along with the news, haha.

The only podcast I'd ever do is one where I watch shitty YA movies and romantic comedies since I do that anyway for some reason.
 
Just finished watching the last two episodes of No Tomorrow.

Hmmm...

Not exactly sure I like the way they left it. Probably would've gone with the asteroid hitting the earth.
 
I dropped it at the S1 break. Way too drawn out. Would have been much better in a tighter 10/13 episode season.

I tried to get into it and just couldn't, was a bit too generic for my tastes. Dropped it after the 4th episode, got too many other shows I wanna try out and limited time

I heard The Magicians is pretty good, anyone watch it? How is it?

So is it pretty much official the show is cancelled, with no new episodes this season being ordered? I really wish they would just cancel the show outright, instead of this “won’t be ordering anymore episodes right now”.

Same for Frequency?
 
And a double for the actual numbers

for some reason didn't realize The Good Place was back and apparently this is also the end of the season

Dan and I will do one... it will be an hour of us trying to post the nightly ratings ahead of each other, but somehow Joni ends up sneaking in victory every episode

We'll spend an hour grousing about Joni, it'll be a huge hit!

As for the ratings, it looks like everyone watched the new BBT, then switched back over to Netflix, heh.

Hell's Kitchen did relatively well for Fox — it's the highest-rated broadcast of the night that wasn't on CBS.

Blacklist did the best of the 10 p.m. shows, but barely. (Not like comparing ratings across networks matters much, it's just interesting to note.)

No, there won't be any more episodes for either show. Each season has already been completed and both will be going up on Netflix very soon (8 days after their finales air on the CW), and apparently in the <1% chance that they become a 'binge moment' (read: if they somehow manage to capture the attention of a significant portion of Netflix subscribers and/or dominate 'the conversation') then they would have a shot at a renewal.

When the CW does decide to cancel them, there are plans to wrap up both shows with an extra scene/tag that will be released on the CW's digital service/website.
 
I listen to the t.v. dudes on a semi-regular basis and I think it's pretty good. Maybe you could give it a try. http://thetvdudes.com/
I'm sure they're good, but what I'm looking for specifically are critics that get screeners and basically serve as a TV news feed, since I'm not really reading Uprox or Variety (with their SKEINS) or wherever most of the time now. Unfortunately the people who do get to watch 5 episodes of Game of Thrones before it airs don't really podcast anymore, so I never have any idea what's out until people on GAF start talking about it or it becomes so big that it's inescapable.

Like, I KNOW the new season of Homeland will be shit, but it would be nice to hear Sepinwall tell me it's shit before it officially airs. lo
 
So One Day at a Time is basically a Cuban version of The Carmichael Show. The family learns something important each episode and sits around having a debate over a political topic.

I cant tell if you are shitting on it or not

It's more that it's interesting because sitcoms don't really do these kinds of episodes, particularly one with a culturally specific viewpoint about a political or sociological problem. The closest thing that we get outside of the Carmichael Show is when Blackish does its "special episodes". Like what sitcom would have an episode about a kid's parents being deported by ICE?

I think the show itself is fine though. Once I got over the studio audience WOOOOOOOO stuff that annoys me about 90s sitcoms and Fuller House, it becomes an interesting show with an interesting voice.
 
I literally forgot Sleepy Hollow existed. And it looks like I wasn't alone in that regard. You just know Fox is itching to replace it with a show where Gordon Ramsey yells at people.

The show started out well, but I fell behind by almost a season. And then when I found out what they were going to do with Abbie, I deleted it off my DVR and canceled all future recordings.

Sleepy Hollow is up their with Heroes in terms of show that gained a lot of buzz in its first season only to lose it the following season(s).

Same. Season 2 killed a lot of my enthusiasm and I missed most of Season 3. Once I heard about Abbie, I decided to not even bother catching up. Supposedly this new season is a soft reboot. If you're soft rebooting in Season 4, why bother getting invested again?
 
what happened to Abbie?

also, chuck me in with "loved S1, fell off early on S2 and never went back" crowd
 
anyone check out that Jason Momoa show on Netflxi yet? Its only like 6 eps I think

This is literally what happened to me. Once I heard season 4 wasn't even in Sleepy Hollow, I had to ask, "What's the point?"
 
It turns out they were in The Bad Place all along and it was just a way of torturing them by Michael (Ted Danson)

I have literally never seen a single minute of this show, knowing only the actors involved and the basic premise, and I guessed this from the moment I heard of the show.

I guess what I'm saying is when do I get my podcast?
 
I honestly have been nothing but surprised Sleepy Hollow even got a third and fourth season. Bailed on the second myself, yet Almost Human got canned.
Fox execs must really like their religious pandering, even if those people don't actually watch the damn show. (Supernatural doesn't have a tremendous overlap with religion either, despite being thematized into it)

Also, The Good Place already ran in full? ... huh.
 
Checked out of Sleepy Hollow on the 2nd season. Everything I heard about it makes me think the makers of the show hate their fandom and just like pissing them off
 
Oh-ho-ho it looks like you guys are slipping even further

I mean, where do you go for all that hot Son of Zorn ratings action if not this thread? It's irresponsible, people.
