Not a pilot. They already picked it up.

Ah.

Besides the dumb reused joke... Just about none of that first page is the Lucifer from the comics, which btw are very good.

The description of the series sounds like it has nothing to do with the comic beyond Lucifer and him having a bar.

It's basically a police procedural.

This... makes me wonder what the long term plan of the CW is.

How funny would it be if the CW split and became the WB and UPN again?

I think it's more likely they slowly start canceling their long running shows, take the rest of the best and transition to a cable net.

 

[dead souls]

I'm doing this in email (so quote to see it and then go to the links), but here's an example of how much of a hack Tom Kapinos is. First page of Dead People and Lucifer. First. Fucking. Page.

You're telling me the genius mind behind Californication is a hack? But that show was an absolute masterpiece.

Shocking, absolutely shocking.

edit: I think the long term plan of the CW would make about as much sense as BSG's "And they have a plan" or the plot of Orphan Black. Whatever happens we all know that Supernatural will still be airing new episodes somewhere.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Nope. Passed on.

I'm really bummed about it.

Me too. It sounded good.

 

[danielcw]

Someone said Last Man Standing is getting a new showrunner is that a good or bad thing?

That would be the third showrunner, or fourth if you count that the creator quit after the pilot.
I believe the current showrunner started to make the show more political in season 2. Is the show still like that?

 

[styl3s]

Constantine renewed lol

Don't even joke about this mate.

Are the rest of cancellations/renewals happening today or something?

Tomorrow at the latest. Looking how slow things are going right now though I think most of the announcements will happen tomorrow.

odds of American Crime, Agent Carter, Agents of Shield and Goldbergs being renewed?

American Crime: Gonna get cancelled
Agent Carter: Could go either way
Agents of Shield: Definitely gonna get renewed
The Goldbergs: Definitely gonna get renewed

 

[Joni]

Jennifer Love Hewitt is leaving Criminal Minds. She is going to take off a year for her baby.

I guess the CW is picking up one pilot and it's Cordon?

I so hope they rewrite the ending. But at least no Veerle Baetens so this version might be worth watching.

Messengers canceled

Hart of Dixie cancelled.

Oh noes! I'll never watch The CW again now.

 

[Sober]

Challenge of the day: write a scene where Lucifer saying "if it's too loud, you're too old" is funny.

American Crime is a self contained story though, right? like each season (if renewed) would tell different stories? Watched the first 2 episodes and enjoyed but don't want to be left on a cliff hanger.

 

[dead souls]

Oh noes! I'll never watch The CW again now.

I was sure the Messengers was going to be renewed. Debuting on a Friday when the season is almost over radiates confidence in a show that has turned out just as well as you had hoped it would.

 

[sparky2112]

This... makes me wonder what the long term plan of the CW is.

All superheroes, all the time. It's the only way.

 

[Slayven]

Phineas and Ferb will be ending next month.

Thought they wrapped up a year ago.

I think it's more likely they slowly start canceling their long running shows, take the rest of the best and transition to a cable net.

NCIS and Two and Half Men reruns during the day, Genre shows at night

 

[dead souls]

All superheroes, all the time. It's the only way.

I'd watch them all, even the ones that weren't any good.

 

[styl3s]

All superheroes, all the time. It's the only way.

Superheroes to become the new cop procedural on tv? I am down with that. Avengers LA, Avengers NYC, Avengers Las Vegas, Avengers Cyber, Avengers Hawaii, Avengers/Defenders, Defenders NCIS, Defenders NCIS:LA, Defenders NCIS:New Orleans, Teen Titans: Law and Order, Teen Titans: SVU.

Of course we need some young adult/teen sitcom style stuff so we can have Teen Titans: Good morning ms Quinn then transition into Saved by the Titans and Titans: College years. Marvel can do Degrassi but instead of high school it takes place at the school of gifted children with Storm as a teacher, Cyclops as a teacher, Wolverine as the coach and Xavier as the dean. We can call it "Gifties" or "Gifty High"

LOL. What the hell?

 

[TheOddOne]

- Dissolve: The trailer for the Wachowskis' Netflix series Sense8 is peak Wachowski.

Dunno, dude.

 

[KillerStar]

CW orders The Flash spinoff !

 

[Danthrax]

How funny would it be if the CW split and became the WB and UPN again?

Well, a lot of those UPN channels got turned into MyNetworkTV, so I don't think it would be easy to switch them back again. Besides, what would this theoretical UPN air? Most of The CW is WB shows, so it would make sense if it just turned back into WB ... at least from an ownership standpoint (CBS divests since no one wants to watch their shit, apparently).

 

[Xemnas89]

All superheroes, all the time. It's the only way.

Yeah gonna transition into the DC network. I'd be down for that actually.

 

[TheOddOne]

- EW: CW orders Flash-Arrow spinoff DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Julie Plec outbreak drama, more.

CW is stocking up on superheroes, giving a series order to the Arrow-Flash spinoff DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, EW has learned. Julie Plec outbreak drama Cordon and Rebecca Bloom’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend also scored series orders.

 

[Patryn]

Yeah gonna transition into the DC network. I'd be down for that actually.

If they were gonna do that, they wouldn't have given CBS Supergirl.

 

[DieH@rd]

So, Legends of Tomorrow is that new Arrowverse show? Not bad.

 

[Jest Chillin]

All superheroes, all the time. It's the only way.

WB Cable Net titled DCTV. Berlanti and Geoff Johns Co-chair. Animated Arrowverse programs during the day, Live action Arrowverse during Primetime. DC Animated Movies every Saturday afternoon.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

There it is: Showtime's former 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' half-hour pilot is CW's CBS pickup for the season.

 

[Joni]

You guys are forgetting the vampire obsession of The CW. They'll have a daily vampire hour between their superhero shows.

 

[ryseing]

No CDS?

I wanted more Alan Van Sprang in my life. Damn it.

 

[Danthrax]

Cheerleader Death Squad isn't going forward, as stated in this Deadline article about the shows The CW is going ahead with.

The younger-skewing broadcast network went for an even bigger surprise this year, picking up to series a pilot from premium cable sibling Showtime, Rachel Bloom and Marc Webb’s musical comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. ... The pickup gives a CW new series pickup to CBS TV Studios whose pilots developed and produced for the broadcast network, Cheerleader Death Squad and Tales from the Darkside, are not going forward.

Curveball!

 

[dead souls]

Yep. Throw in some vamp stuff and Supernatural and you've got yourself a network.

 

[sparky2112]

We haven't had a horrendous Guitar Hero/Rock Band collapse in a good while. Are we past peak superhero, or just getting close? It's getting kind of comical already (pun both intended and unintended).

 

[dead souls]

Curveball!

Finally something interesting happened.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Market them as "Super Vampires" and rush out TVD and The Originals graphic novels under Vertigo imprint. Same with The 100.

Boom.

Quick, let's write DC with our ideas.

Love when these unexpected pick ups happen.

Spoiler

would have been better if it had been Twin Peaks or Halo tbh >

 

[WarrenMax007]

Can someone explain to me this CW - WB/CBS business. WB and CBS co-own The CW, and to keep execs happy The CW should order shows from both studios, correct?

There it is: Showtime's former 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' half-hour pilot is CW's CBS pickup for the season.

Well fuck you too CW. Who does that? Just order CDS.

But they wouldn't be able to cancel CDS because we'd like it. They need something to cancel without anyone complaining.

What do they paid a 30 minutes show with?

Whos Line is it Anyway?

Thats renewed right?

It's so perfect. It's almost too perfect.

 

[dead souls]

The Deadline article says it's being reworked into an hour long show.

Whatever happened to Americas next Top Model? Wasnt that their Friday night hit?

DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW

When heroes alone are not enough… the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat – one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?

CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND

Rebecca Bloom is a successful, driven, and possibly crazy young woman who impulsively gives up everything – her partnership at a prestigious law firm and her upscale apartment in Manhattan – in a desperate attempt to find love and happiness in that exotic hotbed of romance and adventure: West Covina, Calif. (it’s only two hours from the beach! Four in traffic).

CORDON

When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly enforced, forcing those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives while local and federal officials desperately search for a cure.

Cordon sounds quite a bit like Under the Dome, no?

 

[jamesinclair]

Cordon sounds quite a bit like that show, no?

Dont soil this thread with that show

 

[TheOddOne]

Cordon sounds quite a bit like Under the Dome, no?

Damn those Belgians!

Imagine the chaos of an actual NeoGAF run network? Trying to DVR anything would be a nightmare with Stump constantly changing show titles.

It's always the Belgians :/

It's a backdoor third season of Helix.
