Looks good. Will check out first few episodes for sure. I'm hoping it will have hard hitting pace and characters like The 100. I know the chances are low, but CW is making good shows these days.

Good. Fuck off. Work on making a better show than working on Twitter campaigns and hashtags.
Agree with this (minus the finale but whatever, there's much more that's great about it). Just wish that they didn't get stuck with some horribly mediocre actors (for the record, main girl is surprisingly good, everyone else is the opposite).
As for CW trailers, they all look great?
Containment - Very interesting premise. Potentially like the early parts of the Stand but played over multiple seasons? Im in.
Legends of tomorrow: Uh, in. I watch Arrow and Flash and am lukewarm to both mostly, but this tips the scale because it seems like they probably won't have room for CW love story crap.
Crazy ex - On premise? Nah. On execution and acting? Woah this looks pretty original and well made? I'll give it a shot.
And CBS trailers also looked good too. Phew, was mostly dissaspointed a the new offerings until I saw all these though.

This is super nitpicky, but right as she bursts into song for the first time, about how she's going to leave New York -- there's even a sidewalk sign saying "<-- NY Souvenirs" -- an LA bus goes by right behind her. Very few cities paint their city buses bright orange.
Anyways, that aside, it looks like a lot of fun.
I wouldn't watch it for the premise, but since I think Bloom's Youtube sketches are very funny, I'm mostly going off of that plus the trailer.

Those fucking LA buses show up in so many shows and it pulls you right out.
Theyre iconic buses.

Throw in all the cable stuff I watch and that should keep me more than busy.

LOL as someone who spent a lot of his teenage years hanging out in what us Filipinos called Wesco...I find it hilarious it's part of this show. Now I have to watch it just because.

I'm getting an iZombie vibe from Supergirl, I didn't know they were going that route.
Her first costume just needed an S and it would have been perfect!

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of new shows/seasons that air on broadcast/cable/premium/online streaming every year now. There is something for everybody. So why again are people sitting around complaining about the handful of comic book shows that make up a small percentage of those shows?

Eh, I love genre stuff but it feels like we're about reaching the peak of it, so I can understand why people who don't like it are starting to get annoyed by it.
Wiktor

That peak still is minority though. So those people are just incredibly selfish.
Why do people like stuff I don't like?
If vomiting lore means more serialization and less procedural storytelling, hand me a bucket.

I mean, we're talking about broadcast shows in a thread that is primarily about broadcast television during upfronts week, so why get bent out of shape about it?
Calling them incredibly selfish seems wildly hyperbolic.
His performance leaves me a bit cold but the dude who plays Heat Wave is so friggin' over the top and cheesy.
I like them both. They played brothers on Prison Break. Which was a great show for about a season...
Always liked the premise of that show but never made it past the first fifteen mins of the pilot. I'm admit I'm a bit quick to judge shows sometimes though!

Well if Im being called incredibly selfish for wanting quality television, I want to see where it's coming from.
I agree that "incredibly selfish" is hyperbolic, but no need to dig through his posts (which are only going to go so far to tell you about any person to begin with, esp. when English isn't their first language, which I'm pretty sure is the case with Adrian).

No. it's not. Those are people who suffer because other people watch shows they don't like and would like to take those shows away. All this despite the fact they they're drowining in non-superhero shows. But they won't be happy untill there's zero superhero shows, because nobody should enjoy things they hate.
That AoU article really only continues to make me question just how much attention the author paid to the film.
Though not something one can gather from watching the film, Whedon didn't add Klaue to AoU because Marvel wanted to make a Black Panther movie either (he didn't even know about that or the other accompanying future films Marvel had planned for the MCU by the time he cast Serkis for the part).
Back on topic, though I thought that the Supergirl trailer was better than I expected, I might have trouble taking it as seriously now after looking up that SNL Black Widow segment.
For one thing, they never went to Wakanda. The existence of the nation and branding of Klaue as a thief who barely escaped from there were discussed, but the part of Africa that the Avengers went to was not Wakanda (we never even see it). Furthermore, as the guy who sells Ultron the Vibranium needed for his schemes for the rest of the film, he most certainly was important to the plot when it had also been established just how difficult that metal was to come by outside of Wakanda. His screentime was limited, yet he served his purpose in plausibly establishing how the movie's killer robot managed to get such vast quantities of ultra rare Marvel miracle metal.

I have no idea when these shows are premiering but I'm definitely gonna give these a chance:
Wayward Pines
Sense8
Scream
Scream Queens
Humans
Aquarius
Supergirl
Legends of Tomorrow
Minority Report
Lucifer
Containment
Maybe Blindspot, Wicked City and One of Us.
Are all of these shows airing in the same season?

Prosecution complex? Youre blowing this out of proportion.
Wiktor

No.You're blowing out of proportions how many superhero shows there are. There's very little of them. Most broadcast networks either have zero superhero shows or they dedicate one hour a week for them. The sole exception is CW. The most superhero heavy network around and they use two hours per week for superhero shows.
The reality is that there's little superhero shows on air and yet for some reason even existence of that small ammount is a problem for you.

Sense8 is going to be on Netflix in June. So it's not really a "season" per se.
Seconded!
So, in a blatant attempt to get back to our regularly scheduled programming, what new show was the biggest pleasant surprise for y'all this year?
My pick, despite not having seen the latest ep, is iZombie. The show is much more VMars than I anticipated. It's essentially slightly older Veronica plus zombie hijinks. Dialogue crackles. Characters are growing on me more and more each week. I think the show needs to just go for more of those emotional gut punches VM was so good at. The end of last week's ep was a good start, and I'm appreciating the slowly increasing serialization. I will say the show us a bit gross for me at times, but that's more my own squeamishness and the show itself is remarkably restrained on the whole in terms of gore. Just great stuff so far.
So, how 'bout you all?
Legends of Tomorrow looks better than I expected. Captain Cold is one of the best parts of the Arrowverse and I like the idea of Sara coming back as White Canary. Hopefully they will be enough to cancel out the overwhelming lameness of Ray Palmer. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend doesn't look like my thing. I might check out Containment if I hear it is good.
Still not really super excited for any of the shows, but I'm most intrigued by these:
Scream Queens
The Grinder
Minority Report
Blindspot
People are Talking
The Muppets
The Family
The Catch
Life in Pieces
Supergirl
Limitless
Legends of Tomorrow
Most excited for Scream Queens. I love the concept and the cast, but have only seen the first season of AHS of Murphy's work I think (which I thought was trash for the most part), so I'm not sure how it will turn out.

I've heard a lot of good about iZombie but I'm wary of trying it because I tend not to like zombie stuff. Might have to just give it a try.

iZombie is a good choice, I'd second it.
I'd also say that Younger was a pleasant surprise. I'm a few episodes behind but Sutton Foster is impeccable (I will always miss you, Bunheads).
I couldn't watch more than a couple minutes of The Walking Dead and Shaun of the Dead is hilarious but made me pretty squeamish towards the end, if that gives you an idea of my personal squirm factor for zombie stuff. IIRC 28 Days/Weeks weren't as bad for me. I used to read TWD 5+ years ago or so and that was very gross to me at times. iZombie is not anywhere near *any* of those in terms of gore. The occasional grotesque corpse shot and my own over-imagination when seeing her eat bits of brain in bowl of spaghetti really are the grosser aspects for the most part. Show's awesome, though. Procedural with a good blend of increasing serialization. If you liked or loved VMars, you'd be doing yourself a favor in checking this show out.
Which is Younger? I want to say this is the first I'm hearing of it...I know my wife really liked Bunheads.

No. That list was fine and the sort of thing that regularly drives discussion in here.
Loved VMars so I'll definatly check it out.
As for new shows that impressed me I'd have to say The Flash but it feels like it was a weak year for me with new shows, especially comedies. I had high hopes for Marry Me but it was pretty disappointing.
