I wish I could remember the name of the show, but I recall reading of at least one other show that
was on the bubble that purposely ended the season on a cliffhanger thinking that, for whatever reason, the network would be more inclined to renew them because they wouldn't want to leave fans hanging. Naturally, of course, the network didn't give a shit and cancelled it anyways.

I know exactly what you're talking about ... but also can't remember the name of the show.

Dammit.

I even looked through canceled shows in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and couldn't identify it. I thought it had been something I'd been watching.

Arrrgghhh. It'll probably drive me nuts now.

Stupid question but why is Warner Brothers missing from Time Warner
 
Any shows starting/returning in March that you guys are looking forward to? So far for me there is Survivor and Lopez (which I was pleasantly surprised with last year).

It's assumed

I don't know, I didn't make it, but it was the best and most up to date I could find during Bing image searching

You just reminded me that I need to mark my calendar for Archer. I don't know if my DVR will catch on when it moves to FXX. Also should add Last Man on Earth to my list as well. After hearing about it recently, I've been thinking of picking up Veep.
 
Designated Survivor comes back March 8th as well
Which I still enjoy... even if its becoming more and more twisty.
Would't be shocked if the long break is because they have gone through 3 different show-runners since the start of the show.

For me, it's Feud, The Americans, American Crime, Review, and Iron Fist. And catching up on January and February stuff, haha. I'm only really caught up on Riverdale, Baskets, Taboo, and Legion, for shows currently airing.

Definitely American Crime for me as well. One of the highest quality shows in recent memory to me anf the second season somehow outdid terrific first season. The recurring cast and anthology setup works great for this show.

iZombie isnt back till April sadly....

I'm interested in Time After Time on account of being a sucker for time travel stories. I hope it's fun.
 
24 Legacy on the verge of going fractional just four episodes in?

*sharp intake of breath*

Yikes.

Also, I read the Quantico producers were in THR talking about their mid season series reboot.

Bless.
 
I'm enjoying 24 but in a week or two it will be at the "Welp, we should have just kept airing Gotham" point. It matched Gotham's season low last night and I doubt it's done dropping.
 
Just finished the first season of The 100 and that was pretty great. Made me wonder about multiple characters and setting up some interesting threads and developments for Season 2. I'm pretty excited to get started on it.

But first I must catch up with The Originals. 15 episodes and then I'll be ready for Season 4 next month.
 
Vulture - Why the Will & Grace Reboot Is Likely to Succeed

First, it’s worth noting what makes the Peacock’s play with W&G a bit different than most other such revivals. Until now, TV’s recent attempts to restart an old franchise have mostly been of dramas with cult followings. The few comedies that have come back were also shows deemed to have ended too soon, such as Arrested Development and The Comeback. (Netflix’s Fuller House and Disney’s Girl Meets World are arguably exceptions, though both were led by kid actors now grown up, essentially making them different shows.) By contrast, W&G was, at its height, a massively successful broadcast sitcom that ran for eight seasons and whose 2006 finale attracted nearly 20 million viewers. It was not a niche show; it did not end its run too soon. In past decades, W&G was the type of sitcom whose cast would maybe get together for a 10- or 20-year prime-time reunion special, or perhaps a one-off TV-movie event. What NBC and creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are doing is different: They’re bringing back the whole gang, about a dozen years later, for a new adventure on the same network that aired the original.
Click to expand...

The Peacock doesn’t need to make dozens of episodes of the new Will & Grace to make the effort financially viable. It will be able to monetize these new half-hours almost immediately by selling them to a Netflix or Hulu. While this doesn’t guarantee NBC will make a ton of money off its new venture, it certainly makes profit a possibility in a way that wasn’t the case a decade ago. What’s more, given how well X-Files did for Fox, and the upscale (read: advertiser-friendly) audience the original series boasted when it first aired, NBC should be able to command strong ad rates for the revival. This, in combination with a streaming sale, means NBC probably isn’t betting the farm here.
Click to expand...

Meanwhile, beyond the financial aspects of the new Will & Grace, the fact that the show is the first big multi-camera comedy in decades to get a series revival (with the original cast) by a broadcast network means other networks will be closely watching to see how it performs in the ratings. NBC no doubt used the same logic as Fox execs when mulling revivals of X-Files and Prison Break: Given how dramatically same-day viewing of TV has fallen over the last decade, and how tough it is for new shows to get noticed during the age of Peak TV, an already-established series from the pre-Netflix era has a significant advantage over a totally new show. Ratings for X-Files dipped after the first few episodes, but overall, the series ended up being one of 2016’s biggest TV events. Sitcom ratings, particularly on NBC, have declined to the point now that it’s very likely — barring some new breakout Peacock comedy hit — the new W&G will be one of the, if not the, top-rated sitcoms on the network during the 2017-18 season. If so, we could be in for a small wave of 1990s- and early ’00s-sitcom revivals. We may finally find out what ever happened to the doctors from Scrubs, the kids from That ‘70s Show — and everyone from The Office.

First half of S3 of the Originals was a low point with all the royal drama. I guess you have the a few more episodes before it improves considerably. Second half of the season was much stronger.

Heaven help us.

I imagine people will watch this stuff, or at least watch the Will & Grace revival, to some extent. But I don't think it'll be quite as popular as is being predicted here. It'll probably be more like the X-Files revival: A lot of curiosity at the beginning followed a few episodes later by apathy.

NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour predicted the same thing, in regards to a wave of 90s/early 2000s revivals being announced this year.

I could definitely see Fox try to crack open That 70s Show again. They've already gone back to the well for Prison Break, 24, and The X Files. The golden era for them starts in the mid 2000s. NBC probably wishes it was 1996 again, so they'll reach for stuff around then.
 
I had been thinking about That 70s Show recently and realized that if they did a follow up with the same amount of time difference between the era depicted and when it was produced as the original, the show would be set in the mid to late 90s.

Then I felt old.
 
That 70s Show would be interesting, I think I would love a revival of that. I still want a Friends revival most though.
 
TVD is worse than I remember, but Damon is as fun as I remember, so not sure how to proceed.

If you enjoy it, keep watching. If not, there is a lot of other TV out there to try. Have you seen Veronica Mars or The LA Complex? Those are a couple other CW shows we really liked.
 
The Sunday 9 PM premiere of HBO’s limited mystery series Big Little Lies, drew 1.1 million linear viewers and a total of 2.1 million viewers, factoring replays and viewing on the HBO Go/Now platforms (including Monday’s digital viewing).

The male-skewing 'Crashing' did OK, drawing 540,000 linear viewers at 10:30 PM and 763,000 for the night.
