He's already changed his tune to "50/50" on Twitter.
Even when New Girl was at its worst (and it has been AWFUL in the past) it was still a regular watch for me.
I need me an adorkable lead dammit.

I haven't caught up with this season, but it seems like they're doing cross-branding with SyFy this year? I always see the ads for it after The Expanse.
I wonder if they'll completely move it over to SyFy if it's still around next year.

I noticed that, too, though I assume they're just trying to market it to people who might be interested. USA doesn't have a ton of content right now (Suits, Mr Robot, Colony, Queen of the South, Falling Water, and Shooter), so I assume they need hang onto most of those. Falling Water looked likely to be cancelled due to low ratings, but they entered a deal with Amazon meaning that it's likely saved. Mr Robot is back this Summer and QotS, Shooter, and Suits have already been renewed, iirc.
You bite your tongue.

Netflix unsurprisingly renewed A Series of Unfortunate Events for S2.
We'll probably get confirmation in May.

Mr Robot's been moved to the fall...
Yes, I'm aware of this. Typo on my part and not the point of my post which was looking at returning vs cancelled content on USA with a view towards how many dramas they're currently carrying.
Judd Apatow just said on Twitter they started shooting the third season of Love today! I know it's been renewed, but that's pretty fast. I wonder if it's going to be a year out still, or premiere at the end of the year maybe?
Also!

With Black Sails ending in a few weeks, Starz needs another kickass hype action/adventure show. (I haven't read the novel so I have no idea if American Gods will fill the bill or not)
With Steven S. DeKnight wrapping Pacific Rim 2 soon, I think it's time.
It's time...
to revive Incursion!

S2 started production March 1, 2016 and ended in July. I don't think you'll see S3 before Feb/March.
More like give Jonathan E. Steinberg & Robert Levine another project to work on.
That would be the dream. But I think he is gearing up for Transformers.

American Gods is most definitely not an Action/Adventure unless they take some liberties.

All the more reason to resuscitate Incursion!
Didn't his involvement pretty much begin and end with that writers room for how to expand the Transformers universe? Don't think there's been any public mention of him being involved in anything further. After that gig he moved onto Pacific Rim 2.
S2 was confirmed right with the S1 order too, they wrote it all in a row so they really held it back. I guess they must've known about the S3 renewal a bit earlier before it was announced because I'd been hearing they writers were just crunching it out these past few weeks. It'll probably be ready by the end of the year and Netflix will release it when there's an open slot.
I'm still sad that Jake Johnson didn't see more film success. Drinking Buddies is one of my favorites. I hope New Girl ends and he finds something new. That goes double for Lamorne Morris who has been a consistent source of entertainment even as the others became less and less entertaining.
What? He does a whole bunch of indies, including one he wrote and is the lead in coming out next month called Win It All (from the director of Drinking Buddies!). Also supporting roles in blockbusters, he's in The Mummy this year too. My understanding is he doesn't really want to be the lead in huge Hollywood flicks and quite likes sticking to indies and smaller roles.
Everyone is sleeping on Lamorne. Nobody knows how to use his weird energy. It took New Girl like four years to figure him out.
Slightly off topic, but is he going to be in Jurassic World 2 still, or did that fall through?
I honestly hadn't seen him in anything bigger besides Jurassic World. I had just assumed he could only get indie work. But hey, if that's what he likes, more power to him, then. That's where I've grown to like him best.

They should talk with Joe Abercrombie about the First Law trilogy. That would be kick ass.
I would be too excited for that. And then likely infinitely disappointed by the end result.

Yeah, you have to be realistic about these things, I guess.
Oh man, it brings back memories. It's part of what got me back into reading (after university had burned me out). Ninefingers on any screen would be too much fun to watch.

Starting this Sunday there will be 7 1/2 hours of programming airing on Sunday nights that I watch.
Seven and a half hours of television on Sunday nights alone.

You read my mind. Sunday viewing is so rough. 'member when Quarry or The Knick was on Friday nights or Black Sails and Outlander was on Saturday? That was nice. Now everything comes on Sunday night within an hour of each other.

Peak TV.
I was seriously pissed off when Starz moved their stuff to Sundays and I hate that FX sometimes airs stuff on Sundays now too. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are brutal right now as well. It'll be nice once it's summer and stuff slows down a bit.

I'm curious, do you guys actually "watch" all that TV?
I'm using shows as podcasts for the most part. I don't know if I've really found a show that I must actually "watch" without doing something else in recent years.
(Well, maybe Legion I suppose).

I watch. I try to avoid getting on my phone as much as possible too. I just type a comment in a post while I watch sometimes and then put my phone back down. And even then, 9/10 I've paused the episode to do that. I'm not good at multitasking with shows. Anytime I try, I get totally lost.
That new 24 revival is an outlier. It's so predictable (for 24 fans) that I get antsy watching it and feel like I should be doing something else. I've gotten on my phone quite a bit with that show, not gonna lie.

Hah, admittedly I probably watch more trash shows than not. Like I don't really need to see what's going on with Crashing or Big Little Lies or Broadchurch to understand what's going on.

Every single show gets my full attention. Sometimes my mind drifts when I'm watching one of the lesser shows (like the CW superhero shows), but even then I'll end up just daydreaming instead of actively diverting my attention to GAF or whatever.

Same here. I either watch a show or I don't.

I don't even use shows as background noise. That's what music is for!
The Big Bang Theory Prequel Spinoff Young Sheldon Ordered at CBS - Straight to Series.
http://tvline.com/2017/03/13/young-sheldon-spinoff-the-big-bang-theory-prequel-cbs/
Heard nothing about it since he joined. But to me it would make sense if they got him and maybe a couple of others on board to replace Bay.

Same. Mostly because I was rained this way, either commit to watching it or just don't.

There's a couple shows I legitimately watch. Like, put down the tablet, put down the phone, and pay attention.
Black Sails - this is the best show on TV right now and the performances are fucking out of this world. To me, I can't tear my eyes away to do anything else. Even the little facial mannerisms, especially from Toby Stephens, say so much.
The Americans - there's too much Russian being spoken with captions to not watch this. Otherwise, you'll be lost.
GoT and TWD. Mostly. TWD I watched about 20 minutes in so I can skip commercials, so it's mostly so I don't get spoiled by anything on social media.
I'm not watching any shows airing on Saturday's and Sunday's at the moment. What shows are these that you are watching? I might get interested too.
