AMERICAN IDOL IS ENDING. OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!

 

[spindoctor]

How many episodes did Last Man on Earth get picked up for? Because I don't think the premise could stretch beyond 8-10 episodes per season without overstaying its welcome.

The premise of being the last man on Earth didn't stretch beyond the first episode of the first season...

 

[jamesinclair]

LOL at Bordertown being left out for a second year.

Edit: Nevermind, midseason 2016 it is. It was delayed once again, though

Shows confidence in the product...

[edit] And Fox is working on a new season of 24, heh: http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/fox_developing_another_season_24-2015-05

Excellent, I was worried.

I like the idea of a new season every 2 year.

Has Phil gone back to being likeable yet? Once he stopped being a sympathetic character, I stopped watching.

I cringed so hard at the episode that ended with him ready to go skinny dipping in the hot springs, that I couldnt keep watching.

 

[dead souls]

Pretty boring Fox schedule.

I love Bones but that Thursday night is going to get slaughtered.

 

[Patryn]

I stopped watching Bones like 5 years ago, and even then it felt like it had run a couple seasons too long.

It blows my mind that it's still on the air.

Not much point in going against Blacklist/Shondaland/Football or BBT.

Anything you put there is going to get slaughtered.

 

[Catdaddy]

It should live on Subway product placement.

That's the last episode I saw. I can deal with blatant product placement, but that was a damn commercial that added nothing to the story at hand.

 

[crazygambit]

I wouldn't call anything they ddi in Scandal with her pregnancy well-handled

For the way people watch TV nowadays, looking at their tablets, I think they succeeded. I didn't realize she was pregnant, since it's not like Scandal required my full attention, so I barely look at the screen.

Edit: Any news on POI? It's the only show I would be really mad if it got cancelled.

The new premise of there only being a handful of people left alive, and Phil is a horny megalomaniac who alienates them all through his own selfishness.

 

[tearsintherain]

Nope, I had to stop halfway thru and managed to power through the second half and he is even a bigger idiot/douchebag. If you loved the first half you'll love the second half, if you hated the first half I wouldn't bother watching anymore.

I hope Hawaii 5-0 gets renewed, this season has been completely dumb (still got the last 3 or 4 episodes to watch) but its an absolutely beautiful show to watch, especially their big panoramic helicopter sweeping shots. I've gone to Hawaii twice on vacation due to the show, so I've gotta imagine the state ponying up quite a bit since its basically a 25 hour/year commercial that reaches millions of people.

 

[firehawk12]

Wow, I can't believe Survivor outlasted American Idol.

 

[ivysaur12]

I knew they'd move Empire to 9 p.m. for the higher viewership hour.

Bit of a wash for Ivy's predictions — got some stuff right, got some stuff wrong.

Yeah, WHATEVER.

 

[Danthrax]

Yeah, WHATEVER.

=P

You nailed that Monday, though!

 

[ivysaur12]

=P

You nailed that Monday, though!

Also, not to TOUT MY HOUR HORN, but I was right about what they'd do with X-Files, just wrong about the show they'd use it to (re)launch.

 

[Lonestar]

Was xfiles already coming back before Gillian's nerdist podcast appearance?

 

[Toothless]

Will Fox put out trailers for their shows later today? No idea how they work heh.

I was wondering the same thing, my thought is no. CBS should finalize their renewals today.

 

[WarrenMax007]

I was wondering the same thing, my thought is no. CBS should finalize their renewals today.

Why not? They always put them up. We should just wait until their upfront presentation.

 

[TheAbsolution]

I was wondering the same thing, my thought is no. CBS should finalize their renewals today.

They should by the time their upfront starts. Why not?

 

[ivysaur12]

Why not? They always put them up. We should just wait until their upfront presentation.

Oh, right, duh, it's later today, isn't it? I thought it was tomorrow for some reason.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Oh, right, duh, it's later today, isn't it? I thought it was tomorrow for some reason.

It's like in 3 hours, yeah.

 

[Patryn]

What time is CBS's upfront?

 

[TheAbsolution]

What time is CBS's upfront?

Wednesday at 4.

 

[ivysaur12]

It's like in 3 hours, yeah.

I'm actually working so I'm all thrown!

So, as of now, Fox's midseason Tuesday is:

8 - Grandfathered
8:30 - The Grinder
9 - New Girl
9:30 - The Guide to Surviving Life

 

[ivysaur12]

PoI AND Hawaiii Five-0 renewed.

 

[firehawk12]

Glad for PoI, although it's funny that it came down to the wire with that one.

 

[RastaMentality]

YESSS

 

[ivysaur12]

Glad for PoI, although it's funny that it came down to the wire with that one.

Nah, CBS just likes to announce its stuff all at once. I actually think their only question mark was CSI and 5-0.

lololol

Boom now called Oil, Sundays at 9.

 

[Methos#1975]

So glad Fresh off the Boat was renewed, love it and the mom in it is smoking

 

[BatDan]

Yus! Person of Interest Season 5 is go!

Makes sense, now that oil is a bust

 

[EdReedFan20]

I'm glad POI was renewed. However, in regards to H50, I think season 6 should be the last one. I just felt the past season was running on fumes. I just think it's really run its course. There aren't many major threads to wrap up, but I think this could be their last chance to do so.

 

[ivysaur12]

The Cancel Bear @TheCancelBear
After missing 6 predictions in the last 3 seasons, the bear misses 7 this season. Summer napping preparations are underway!

[WarrenMax007]

PoI AND Hawaiii Five-0 renewed.

Thank god. More McGarrett and Danny bromance.

Chances are very high that The Muppets is the only broadcast show I'll sample next year, and I'm more skeptical of that one than most. The aims of the broadcast networks just don't mix with my interests anymore. Dramas are all procedurals and soap operas. Comedies are mostly based around friends and families, the least interesting comedy setup in my mind.

I won't lie, I finally checked out an episode of Fresh Off the Boat after seeing Constance Wu on a recent ep of Childrens Hospital. She was both hilarious and oddly hot*. I also really like Randall Park, but I tend to have a short tolerance for family sitcoms. I can already feel myself getting a little tired of some of the wells Black-ish keeps going to. The episode of Fresh Off the Boat I watched was solid enough, I'll probably watch some more eventually.

*I say oddly only due to the morning show getup she was in.

 

[Nudull]

So...I have not actually seen POI or Hawaii. I guess I should fix that?

Im in the exact same boat.

Right now Im only curious about the Muppets, Wayward Pines, and the Xfiles.

The NBC traielrs did nothing for me.

I just hope theres one show off my radar that can blow my mind after learning about it from GAF, as was the case of The 100 last year.

 

[Patryn]

Person of Interest is an interesting twist on a procedural. It's not quite what you'd expect it to be, and takes about half a season to really start developing. At this point, it's become fairly serialized.

 

[G0523]

I just noticed that The Odd Couple (CBS) got renewed. I guess this ends Matthew Perry's one and done streak? Good for him. He needed a win.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I don't watch a lot of TV shows, but I just wanted to stop by and say how much I love the images in the OP

 

[Chris1]

Yesssssss POI, was actually getting worried for a second

 

[strafer]

PoI AND Hawaiii Five-0 renewed.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

The Player on NBC looks kinda cool, IMO. Worth trying out an episode or two, anyway. Mid-season's Superstore looks like it has potential, too. Minority Report on Fox has a chance of turning out OK.

Not much else catching my eye. I'm with you on checking out The Muppets, though.

The Muppets trailer is probably the only trailer I'm actually excited to watch; very curious on how it looks.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Are there any SciFi-ish shows this season? Though, I guess you could count Minority Report and Heroes.

 

[DieH@rd]

The Expanse is full on space opera, adapted from books.

 

[Malvingt2]

Yes for PoI!!

 

[mreddie]

ABC/CBS kept most of their shows I believe. That's impressive.

 

[Enosh]

Thank god. More McGarrett and Danny bromance.

hope one of them isn't missing for like half a season again -.-
spoilers for last season

Spoiler

but man season finale was hilarious, they went to drop a nuke from a helicopter and then outran the blast, so over the top

also loved the guy with the shrimps going "woah I thought it's a bomb, this is so much worse"
