There may be hope for you yet, if NBC cancels it apparently multiple cable channels are interested in picking it up.

What Somnia said. Stay with it, Funky. If you quit watching, I'll punch you.
There is hope yet.

It's not cancelled. Don't say that.
This is a show that is apparently pure profit, NBC isn't really paying for anything (financed under a different model according to ivysaur). Even if NBC canned it, someone else would take it. There's been interest from other networks.
There's hope.

Not to say it can't happen, but a lot of shows go through this, and it usually doesn't end up happening thanks to one reason or another.
I can only think of Southland and Cougar Town in the last few years.

Yep, nowadays every cancelled show floats some story on Deadline that it has interest from cable/Netflix but a revival almost never happens.
I really hope NBC renews Hannibal, though I'm starting to think they're just delaying announcing the cancellation to avoid depressing the ratings even further. Time will tell.
Trying not to read the thread to avoid spoilers, currently on episode 6 and my god it is utterly ridiculous, how has
Absolutely ridiculous, not that I'd expect anything else from this show. :|
Joey managed to recruit so many people from the FBI, the police... all of which conveniently get assigned to this case?

It's not too late to stop watching this and start watching Hannibal, you know! Please do.

No. Let him suffer. It'll only make his appreciation for Hannibal stronger.
I've been recording Hannibal and intend to watch it... I saw the first episode and thought it was okay, being honest I find both shoes to be a little too violent, and massively depressing thoughfreenudemacusers

i'm on episode 11 and this is the most ridiculously stupid show I have ever seen. I can only guess that by the end of the season Kevin Bacon himself is a follower of Joe, and the show reveals itself as a meta-commentary on our society's obsession with famous murders. That might save it.
I can't stop watching this someone help me
It's a pretty great train wreck.
I watch this as a parody, it's awesome that way!

This show has broken my mind. I don't know if I can go on.

I stopped watching this after a few episodes, so I'm not planning on making the thread for S2. If anyone is interested in putting that together, please do it. Thanks.

I'm looking forward to season 2 ha! I dread to think what it says about my taste that I enjoyed this show a whole hell of a lot more than I did Hannibal.

Oh just wait. It gets even better than that.
Also, if someone wants to put together a S2 thread, please do.

Its on Sundays now?
No just tonight's premiere is after football to try to bring in new viewers. It's something they do for the Superbowl every year also
I'm one of the assholes that actually finished season 1 as much as I hate this show...
Smh.. It's a show that transcended so far into the realm of bad that it looped back around into "must watch" television, if only for its hilarious inconsistencies and plot holes and the Barnum and Bailey sideshow that is the FBI
and with the way the finale ended, IMMEDIATELY after I told my gf "there's no way they're gonna kill Joe in that explosion , without a doubt they're gonna cheese him out of that predicament through some bullshit hole in the ground or some magical fire resistant Edgar Allen Poe cloak" and lo and behold, who is apparently alive and well in the new trailers? Yep.

'Classic Poe' should probably be edited into the thread title though. You know, to set the tone.
I'm right there with you. It's actually one of the most enjoyable shows I watch simply because of how bad it is. I love a good hate watch and The Following never disappoints in that regard.

Tonight's episode is 90 minutes? Yeesh. Whether I watch it all or not is going to depend on how completely fucking ridiculous it gets. It started out fine, but the further along you get, the show requires more and more of a suspension of disbelief.

This deserves another quote... haha. Cracked me up.

Anyone watch the season premiere yesterday? I'm wondering if I should watch it or not, considering how filled with rage I was by the end of last season.
Oh weekly trainwreck isn't enough for me, I need like a 6 episodes run at once for maximum effect.
