Joe Carroll strikes again. Classic Poe.

The worst part about the Constantine news is that, assuming Hannibal takes over the slot when it's done, we definitely have to wait for NBC to air 8 more episodes until we get Hannibal back. Which was probably always the plan, but godammit, I want more Hannibal now!

Lol..Hannibal won't air till april at the earliest. With Constantine limited to 13 episodes it will just means you will get few months of repeats before Hannibal

 

[Dan]

Yeah, Hannibal is expected to premiere in April or May. I know Fuller was saying that back in September and October. Who knows, that plan could change, but yeah.

 

[Vert boil]

Another show cancelled before it even airs

Never Zea never....

No biggie. Our Queen will still rule over the final season. It's going to be glorious watching her crush that small time blonde.

 

[BertramCooper]

Has Netflix US uploaded new episodes of any TV series as they air on cable/broadcast? I know the foreign versions have done that for a few shows like Breaking Bad, IIRC.

I seem to remember them getting the new episodes of Party Down's second season when the Starz/Netflix relationship was still in place.

But that was ages ago.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

God I hate you NBC you cancel everything in its first or second season I like Constatine its a great show NBC = now been cancelled

I think they did the same thing with Spartacus.

Pisses me off they cancelled A to Z. Show had so much potential. I think it's a lot better than Marry Me and I'm a huge fan of Ken Marino. It just has a weak supporting cast and I'm surprised it didn't get cancelled instead of A to Z

 

[Weapxn]

Someone heard my prayers and cancelled Bebe Neuwirth's hair on Madam Secretary! I can continue to support the rest of the show now.

Those plans always change, especially on broadcast -- I'm sure they'll premiere it in February now. Fuller is just more open about sharing preliminary plans than most. They have no other midseason dramas that would go on Fridays.

No?

It's not really that surprising -- A to Z is one of the lowest rated shows on television even though I found it amusing and probably more sure of itself than Marry Me. Marry Me, on the other hand, is the highest rated comedy on NBC right now* (*with the best lead in on NBC).

Marry Me has Dennah, so it wins by default.

To be fair, A to Z has the comedic elegance of Lenora Crichlow

. Marry Me loses in the fat friend department, though.

Somebody likes her. She's already got a new job on the Craig Robinson sitcom.

Personally I thought she was funny on Back In The Game. In the 2 episodes of A to Z I lasted she had nothing remotely funny to do.

To me, A to Z isn't sure of anything. Its strengths are the two main leads, or at least Milioti. I like Katey Segal a lot, esp for Futurama, but her narration does very little for this show. The sidekick characters are bad (Stephie) or horrendous (Stu). And the show seems to think it was greenlit to be a tech-y workplace comedy half the time. The boss character ("Big Bird"/Lydia) is awful. The show is supposedly, according to the opening narration itself, about Andrew and Zelda dating, and the 'G' episode was literally named for something completely to do with Stu. The comedy is mostly wretched. (I could go on at length about why, if anyone cares.)

I would describe Benched as far more sure of itself, and it's kind of still fumbling a bit here and there. But A to Z is mostly bad, and I really wanted to like it.

Marry Me is, so far, like a retooled Happy Endings with about 70% of the appeal. So not great, but I think it still knows what it wants to be and executes on that better than A to Z.

God I hate you NBC you cancel everything in its first or second season I like Constatine its a great show NBC = now been cancelled

Constatine is just Supernatural with a less likable cast and shittier music.

Agreed. I'll probably finish the season (damn you television OCD), but it really isn't very good.

Cristela was given a full season order. Actually a multi-cam I don't hate.

 

[ivysaur12]

CRISTELAAAAAAA

 

[Tragicomedy]

Yeah, Cristela is great. She's funny and there's good chemistry in the cast. It's the only comedy we're watching on TV in my home.

 

[Bladenic]

Cristela isn't that bad, I watched a few episodes before.

Plus it has that retarded hot telenovela (or former?) star. Damn.

 

[ivysaur12]

I went to a Cristela taping and Roseanne was barely lucid.

Hey, that's great news. I really enjoy that show a lot, and like you I usually can't stand multi-cams.

Good for her! She doesn't have to take that kind of snark.

 

[ivysaur12]

Please remember that this was posted at TVBTN the other day:

Cristela, finally airing again in a "normal" (no World Series / Halloween) week, kept the same 1.0 rating. While that 1.0 isn't disastrous (by Friday standards), it is low enough for ABC to probably schedule Fresh off the Boat there. (Boat may easily do worse than Cristela did in the timeslot; sometimes a network just has to find a spot for a show, current occupant be damned.) Whether we'll see a cancellation notice in the near future is an interesting question; ABC may simply not mention anything until they put out their Spring schedule.

That's just not how scheduling works.

I'm a fan of the unflinching irony in his comment.

Yes, because I'm sure it took 5 episodes for Supernatural to establish a likeable cast. They're mostly building John up at the moment, and he's.. Not really supposed to be likeable. He's a bastard. The similarities between Supernatural and Constantine come from Supernatural being heavily inspired by Hellblazer. I think the show is still kind of trying to find its footing, but labeling it a 'worse Supernatural' is not fair.

TVBTN is only good for day after ratings and those are quickly becoming less and less important.
That's it. The rest of the site is garbage.

I hope TV creatives shitting on the cancelation bear/TVBTN becomes a thing.

Still always thought this show would not survive on NBC on Friday.

Yep. But I could see this pause in a production for them to look at things and try to retool. Everyone wants that comic money.

To Supernatural.

Constantine so far is pretty horrid. Even season 6 of Supernatural is better than this mainly because Dean >>>>>> Constantine.

We get that he's supposed to be an asshole, but it comes across like he's trying too hard to be badass. The supporting cast is pretty useless so far. I really don't know why I keep watching... I guess I need the background noise.
