SHIELD is catching up in terms of consistency, but Arrow is still good. Damn good. The Flash is fun too...we can have all the great shows! Daredevil will hopefully continue the trend..

 

[jamesinclair]

Sure.

As long as you agree Siberia was trash and deserved to be canceled.

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Ahhhhhh!

Anyway, I can't wait until Daredevil comes out and kicks the shit out of Arrow and The Flash in about every way.

same tbh

I'm sure Daredevil will be good, but better than Arrow? I'm skeptical. Does Matt Murdock even have a salmon ladder?

Steven DeKnight brah. Steven DeKnight.

Seems relevant to post here: Magic City is getting a movie for some reason.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Ahhhhhh!
\.

I can't be the only guy in here that's actually excited to see it right? Even if it turns out to be a train wreck.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Seems relevant to post here: Magic City is getting a movie for some reason.

What in the fuck?!

EDIT: So is this a continuation of the TV series, suggested by the fact that it's set after the timeline of the series and since most/all of the TV actors are reprising their roles, or is the film an unrelated entity? This is weird.

 

[tringworldso]

I don't get why Punisher wasn't included in the Marvel Netflix deal. Could adapt Greg Rucka's run.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Was Magic City any good?

 

[Rekwest]

Was Magic City any good?

Was Magic.

It was decent and nothing more.

Fox PR'd some numbers and stuff about their shows. I understand some of these numbers, I think.

Noteworthy Highlights

· As the TV industry continues to discuss the importance of counting non-linear viewing, FOX saw +15% more non-linear viewing (FOX NOW, Hulu and VOD days 4+) on FOX original telecasts during Premiere Week this season vs last.

· Over 30 days of Multi-Platform viewership, the series premiere of GOTHAM delivered an average audience of 22.2 Mil, up +168% versus its Live + Same Day viewership.

- GOTHAM drew an average audience of 5.0 million outside of the viewing measured by Nielsen -- on Hulu/FOXNOW and on VOD in the 4+ Day window. This marks the largest non-linear audience of any FOX telecast in the last three years.
​

· The series premiere of RED BAND SOCIETY accumulated an average audience of 9.9 million over 30 days of Multi-Platform viewing – a +142% increase versus its same-day delivery.

- RED BAND SOCIETY saw very high unduplicated encore viewership of its premiere that same week, adding 2.3 million new viewers.

- Among this season’s FOX premieres, RED BAND SOCIETY (1.7 Mil) ranks #4 in non-linear average audience following #1 Gotham, #2 Family Guy and #3 New Girl, and ranks #2 overall in VOD (0.8 million) following #1 Gotham’s premiere.​

I burst out laughing when I read this. It couldn't get good enough ratings for Starz and someone is paying money to make a movie of it. Did the financiers lose a bet or something?

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

That's like the shitty birthday present someone gets you that makes you wonder if they actually hate you... It confirms my vain suspicions that NBC hates me.

Season one flip, please!

Why stop there?

Can't wait to see what else they have planned.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Seeing those gifs repeatedly.. I can't help but to feel that the should have been a second flip variation in between the bow shots at the big rig.

I mean if you're going to do it, do it right.

 

[Linius]

There's a reason I don't watch The CW shows.

 

[dead souls]

Your loss. The CW is the best broadcast network.

 

[Joni]

You dislike quality serialized shows? THat is a good reason to skip The CW shows yes.

It's a weird thing. I'm really surprised this is happening.

lmao

 

[dead souls]

Agreed. I can't believe it's actually a real thing. I still haven't decided if I'm brave enough to DVR it.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Doesnt Forever have better ratings than Agent of Shield?

Nope.

 

[FootballFan]

There's a reason I don't watch The CW shows.

If you don't want some great entertainment then that's your choice and your loss.

I hope you people are only mocking Williams, because Walken as Hook is fucking awesome.

- Deadline: ‘Bad Judge’ & ‘A to Z’ Cancelled By NBC, Will Finish Original 13-Episode Orders

Following another set of underwhelming numbers last night, NBC has pulled the plug on Thursday freshman comedies Bad Judge and A to Z. Neither comedy got traction on what has been a challenging night for NBC, most recently logging a 0.9 and 0.7 Live+Same Day ratings. Both series will remain in their slots and complete their 13-episode ordiginal orders

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Both cancellations were expected. Still, it's nice that NBC is going to finish airing the seasons so fans aren't left in the lurch.

[element]

- Deadline: ‘Bad Judge’ & ‘A to Z’ Cancelled By NBC, Will Finish Original 13-Episode Orders

I have actually enjoyed Bad Judge. It is silly laugh.

A to Z was just awful, even with how cute Cristin Milioti is. It is a bad version of 500 Days of Summer with a less likable lead. Serious the guy they casted was a terrible decision. Also it plays too much on internal human monologues in dating that actually make it sad to watch. Not to mention they tell you flat out that they break up in the intro. Why do I want to watch a cute couple fall in love and then fall apart in 22 minute chunks each week?

They date for that long, and then they get engaged in the season (series) finale.

I've been watching A to Z. It's not exactly a loss given how aggressively mediocre the show is in almost every aspect.

 

[element]

They date for that long, and then they get engaged in the season (series) finale.

Perhaps it is the jaded dater in me, but I never got that impression, mostly because the shows premise is a start and end, A to Z. Unless they planned on A to Z, start to death.

They might have to do that now. Shotgun wedding or they both die a horrible death.

Welp time to break the bad news to my sister who really liked A to Z.

No, that's actually how their season was (is?) arced/pitched.

 

[Aiii]

Fox PR'd some numbers and stuff about their shows. I understand some of these numbers, I think.

It's insane the numbers aren't counted in this day and age, could have saved a bunch of great shows from cancellation really, especially in the <35 age group there is just tons of shows that are being watch on VOD instead of Cable.

 

[element]

Not that it matters now, but what would have the 2nd season been? A to Z, Wedding Season then to A to Z, First Year Married Season and then A to Z, Pregnant Season, A to Z, Toddlers Season.

Glad the show was canceled now.

I have no idea, just that the first season was them getting engaged at the end.

 

[kulapik]

NBC sentences Bad Judge

A to C(ancelation)

 

[beat]

Where did you hear that? Not doubting you, but as far as I know, it was never public. Heck, at the end of the pilot, the two stars appeared with the showrunner and they guessed what would happen at the end of the eight months.

Networks don't renew or cancel shows because the ratings are good, they renew or cancel shows because they make money and certain kinds of ratings are used to establish ad rates and sell ads and add are the main way by which programming makes money.

Networks can pressure firms to pay for, say, C+7 rather than L+3--but ultimately of an advertiser isn't willing to pay then the rating is not usual:

Also, while using different ratings might have saved some shows, it might--would have cancelled others. Assuming a somewhat fixed amount of ad revenue, changing the shape of the distribution is zero sum across the board.

 

[Jest Chillin]

They date for that long, and then they get engaged in the season (series) finale.

I had a feeling that would be the case. Something about the way that the VO says that it's the length of time they dated, rather than the length of their relationship. Of course, that a show would need a way out if it got renewed also played into that.

That's too bad though. I liked it more than any of the other new sitcoms.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

So I watched a little bit of Mysteries of Laura and I think it maybe the spiritual succesor to Harry's Law. This season has been great for older skewing television.

 

[Memles]

Because I know people who work(ed) on A to Z and I asked.

And they more or less said as much at press tour when one critic took them at face value and was like "Why the hell would I watch a show where I know they're going to break up?" It was a weird response at the time, because I was like "Duh, they're going to break up temporarily or get engaged." But some people chose to take the show at face value, which seems to be something television has taught us not to do.

If you're always looking for the looming twist, then you'll go down rabbit holes like the AV Club review suggesting that maybe the dating countdown is also counting down until the sidekicks get together. I'd rather just take TV at its word whenever possible.

[Sheppard]

So I cut the cord along time ago to Cable TV and I am a HUGE fan of Constantine. I am wondering if Hulu watching will help in any positive way on if this show was watched or not ratings wise.

Thanks in advance.

So it's A to M?

I just heard a radio ad ( ) Thursday night or so for both shows too trying to sell people to watch.

So it's A to M?

Heh, heh, heh.

Ass to Mouth?

Heh, nice to confirm I wasn't the only one.
