Selfie?

YES Dads return.
I almost made a post with the exact opposite reaction.
Brickleberry had its moments for me. Bob's Burgers on the other hand is dullsville and boring as glue.

Selfie has never made him laugh though.

My guesses:
One of those longtime soaps that were canned
Joe Millionaire, again
Siberia (but why would this be funny?)
Rake....oh no, wait, we know its coming back but called Backstrom or something
Jersey Shore
Charles in Charge

Stop it. I can't afford to get my hopes up only to be disappointed later.
WORK IT
Does the show make you lol or does the fact that the show is coming back make you lol?
Didn't look as white as Hieroglyph though.

Kind of hard not to make it very white when it's about jews vs romans. That trailer actually had surprisingly big number of black people and it seems in pretty prominent roles, much more than Exodus, which is pretty hilarious.
Levantine populations are always hard to depict, regardless of the era (Judeo-Roman or Islamic or Turkic or Modern, etc.) because someone will always chime in and ask why white people exist in a region of the world where white people did in fact exist.
middle eastern jews circa the first century AD would not have been "white"

Of course they were, especially since we're talking about bible story and bible separates humanity only into three races based on three sons of Noah.

Oh boy, let's not go there, at all.
The only argument you could possibly make is that people in positions of authority can generally be depicted with lighter skin tones over commoners. And that's what the show seems to show from the trailer, that there might be some of that dynamic of Judea (Roman commanders/governors in charge of the province, the Judaic high priests vs. disciples of Jesus/people impacted by his presence) I'm not going to make that argument, but let's not pretend everyone in the show is Pure-Bred American (tm) White (r) (tm) either or is being depicted that way either (Jesus with an M16, where are you?).
I'd rather defer to someone with more knowledge in Levantine populations under Hellenistic/Roman rule about what the ethnic population might have been at the time (and even then it gets messy I'm guessing, if we're gonna go into it), but remember, this isn't a history paper for a Levantine studies PhD, this is an entertainment product created for an American audience, so there's bound to be some liberties taken in terms of representation or what actor pools they pull from or who even wants to audition for this in the first place.

It was hinted a few days ago but Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer series is a go, according to Deadline. 8 episodes, whole cast returning.

Probably Constantine since TVBTN insists it's done. Them and their "Cancellation Bear" being wrong again would bring a "lol" out of many here.

This is my guess too.
I *really* doubt NBC would be making a decision about Constantine before any of their midseason dramas had premiered.
Also the "lol" thing makes me think he was talking about a show basically nobody in this thread would actually like or actively hope to get renewed/revived.

I....can't be the only one that almost fell asleep trying to watch and episode of this show, right? I mean...this show is an experiment in how boring one can make a show. Sorry, Blue Bloods creators.

No no. Either bringing back critically acclaimed NBC show, "Awake" that was prematurely cancelled after one season....
Or George Clooney returns to restart ER.

My guesses:
Marriage Ref
or
JLH Massage show without JLH attached.

The more complex ethnics groups classifications are pretty modern invention and especially in deeply catholic countries people are still mostly seen as either white, black or yellow, and the idea for that kind of classification comes from the bible, altough it has been simplified in people's general conciousness compared to what's actually in the book. In this system people from middle eastern countries, latinos, even people from India are all white.
100 already? That's crazy. I haven't even seen more than a minute of the show total during its entire run.

I knew my letter writing campaign urging Paul Lee to bring back Work It would eventually pay off.
Also, congratulations Hollywood Reporter, this is the worst industry-related think piece of 2014!!!!
