She should have some experience then
She was something XX in that right?

Melissa George? I don't think she was in Kyle XY. (I haven't seen it)

 

[Kabouter]

Melissa George? I don't think she was in Kyle XY. (I haven't seen it)

No, Jaimie Alexander

 

[TheAbsolution]

I need to ask, how does the future look for Forever?

Not very good.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Not very good.

Aw Hell.


It's a Great Little Show. I enjoy it. I'll be sad to see it go

 

[Psykoboy2]

And there she is:

 

[RatskyWatsky]

No, Jaimie Alexander

Oh, right. haha. Got turned around there for a sec. 8(

I don't see any ABC Family programming. This list is a lie!

 

[dead souls]

And there she is:

Weird. She looks like an actually attractive Bonnie Rotten.

It hasn't been officially cancelled, but yes.

I'm not sure how you can state that so confidently. Its finale rated a 0.7 in the demo. Zero point seven. You really think Fox is just going to throw such a solid performer out?

 

[ivysaur12]

I guess there's about a 15% chance Helix could come back, probably/maybe with a different showrunner if it did.

 

[reggieandTFE]

Is agent Carter done? There was an embarrassing handwritten sign on the poster near Hayley Atwell signing autographs at C2E2 (for $60 bones!) that said the show hadn't been renewed yet but that things were looking good thanks to fan support.

 

[beat]

What does it matter a show over a decade ago had the same premise? Premise isn't everything.

No, but everything about this show's description sounds like a pile of stupid.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Is it done already?

Yeah, it was just too raw for modern audiences. They want caricatures and exuberance to laugh at like Empire, not characters that reveal the viewers own flaws and prejudices.

 

[Kevin]

I guess there's about a 15% chance Helix could come back, probably/maybe with a different showrunner if it did.

So a 15% chance that the vaccine won't work?

 

[ivysaur12]

So a 15% chance that the vaccine won't work?

lol, sigh.

Would do anything in the world to have that show (or any show) run by Javi or Tim Lea.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I'm confident because history is on my side - Fox always cancels everything.

That's why I haven't watched anything on the channel since Firefly.

I hope The Kingmakers and Cheerleader Death Squad both get picked up. No sign of them there though.

 

[danielcw]

On average, not counting the animated shows or reality, Fox' shows are in season 2.3.
If one would include the animated shows, the average would be 4.5.
(hope I did not miscount anything)

That's why I haven't watched anything on the channel since Firefly.

Unpopular opinion, but I think Fox treated Firefly well, at least initially.

I know this sounds weird but I had hoped that Nerd Herd was still in contention. Oh well. :/

I know, I was just being sarcastic. I don't even like Firefly that much.

Fox is my most watched network of the big four.

 

[Kevin]

I know that Constantine is almost certainly canceled but when will we have full confirmation of this?

 

[WarrenMax007]

I know that Constantine is almost certainly canceled but when will we have full confirmation of this?

You should know for sure by May 11th.
Also, i want to watch The Originals, my question is should i watch The Vampire Diaries before it? I watched 2 seasons of TVD and i liked it, but just stopped, when season 3 started, because first episode was pretty meh.
Can i just watch The Originals? Or it will be better to catch up to TVD and then watch The Originals? I will catch up eventually but there are 4 full seasons.

You need to catch up the third and fourth season, which ends with the backdoor pilot for The Originals. They have limited cross-overs afterwards so you don't need to catch up with season 5 and 6. Don't watch the backdoor pilot itself, the first episode of The Originals repeats it.

Then why do i have to catch up, if i won't watch the backdoor pilot and the first episode repeats it? Is backdoor pilot and first episode exactly the same or not?
It would be easier just to catch up to TVD. I was meaning to, but The Originals just looks more interesting. But then again, there is no such thing as "too much Caroline".
Another question, if i watch TVD to the end of season 6, and then The Originals seasons 1 and 2, will i spoil something?

The backdoor pilot and the first episode are the same, but they just introduce you on their move to New Orleans. The main characters for the spin-off are regulars on The Vampire Diaries season 3 and 4.

There is indeed no such thing as too much Caroline, it is one of the reasons I still watch it.

Another question, if i watch TVD to the end of season 6, and then The Originals seasons 1 and 2, will i spoil something?

No. They stand on their own quite well. There is a couple of mini-crossovers with one character appearing on the other show but they have no real impact there.

Thanks . I think i'll watch TVD and then The Originals over the summer.

 

[Bluth54]

My shows are:
The 100 (real surprise, watched zero shows on the CW before this...)
iZombie (...and now I watch two!)
Person of Interest (don't you dare cancel this CBS)
Hannibal (enjoy this but not nearly as much as a lot of gaf seems to)
Wayward Pines (only saw premier and liked it, looking forward to the rest of the episodes)
Gravity Falls (and its abysmal schedule)
The Returned (French version)

British being British:
Sherlock
Luther

Show I really want to finish:
Better Call Saul

Shows that I'll get back to... someday:
Game of Thrones
Broadchurch
Orphan Black
Marco Polo
Haven
House of Cards

Dearly departed this season:
Justified

I just use the website Myepisodes.com, you can make a list of the shows you watch and it will make you a custom RSS feed that shows any new episodes of your shows. Makes it really easy to keep track of new episodes.

 

[danielcw]

Just FYI: there's a long-running joke amongst some of the regulars here that TV nerds tend to treat Fox - a network with lots of solid original genre programming, & which handles its shows pretty fairly and has changed a ton over the past 10+ years - like shit largely because of what they did with Firefly going on thirteen years ago.

See the OP's sarcastic tribute to Firefly for further reference.

Thanks, got it

The one time I read the OP I wasn't sure if it was sarcasm, though

 

[TheAbsolution]

So this is series orders and cancellations week, right?

I'm really crossing my fingers for Person of Interest. It was sounding good for a while there, and then some dark clouds formed.

 

[Tamanon]

PoI should be fine. They'll at least get to syndication I would imagine.

I'm still peeved at FOX for cutting Alcatraz though.

They will get there this Fall on WGN.

So we are all in agreement that if Constantine doesn't get renewed we burn down all the things, right?

 

[WarrenMax007]

I always forget that networks order their new shows the week before the upfonts. So i wanted to say it's next week, but only trailers are next week.

Absolutely.

[berzeli]

I totally forgot about that.

By the way is there a good list of pilots? (i.e. not Deadline Pilot panic) Their way of (not) organising them is painful to read. Oh, and a list of bubble shows would be appreciated if someone has one laying about.

So we are all in agreement that if Constantine doesn't get renewed we burn down all the things, right?

Why? It was a dull show with mediocre ratings, and yes I used past tense for a reason. Pretty much the only chance Constantine has is getting picked up by Syfy and I don't really see it fitting into their schedule. It looks deader than Silent Hills at the moment.

And what's wrong with Deadline's list? It looks good to me.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Anything you would miss if it goes?

Let's see:

Agent Carter: I enjoyed it for what it was, and I love period pieces, but I don't feel like it did anything especially interesting with the time that it was given. I would watch another season but I also wouldn't mind if it was cancelled. If I had to choose between another season of Agent Carter or a new Marvel series, I'd choose the latter.

Marry Me: Mostly terrible. I only kept watching it out of habit. It's dead though, so there's no need to worry about it coming back.

Nashville: I go back and forth on Nashville. There are times when I enjoy it (the songs are usually good, the music industry type stuff is interesting, and Hayden Panettiere delivers the delicious suds whenever the show decides to utilize her) but then there are other times when I wish they would put it out of its misery (Domestic abuse! Cancer! Prostitution! Love Sierpinski triangles!). I would actually like to see the show renewed with a final season in mind because I'm kind of attached to some of the characters and wouldn't like to see it cancelled without any resolution.

For better or worse, every other network show that I watch is safe.

Any pilot you want to see go to series?

Eh, not really. Perhaps...

NBC: The Curse Of The Fuentes Women (why not?) and Warrior (could be interesting?).

Fox: Grandpa (for John Stamos) and Luther (for the lulz)

CBS: Holy shit, no.

ABC: Chev & Bev (could be fun), Delores & Jermaine (we all need a little Whoopi in our lives), Boom (outlaws and roughnecks, breh!), and Of Kings and Prophets (one of these shows is bound to be good, right?).

The CW: Cheerleader Death Squad (a show with this premise on The CW could be a goldmine) and Tales from the Darkside (The CW does horror anthology? I need to see this!)

...I hope all your favorite things explode!

None of my favorite things are on Network TV, so.

And what's wrong with Deadline's list? It looks good to me.

Thanks. It might just be personal preference but Deadline isn't structured well and sometimes end up talking about more than one show in a sentence and I like more clearly defined structure. Or I might be looking at the wrong list, I like the website for the news (and some of the commentary) but I dislike navigating it quite a bit.
