How many special forces shows are there going to be now? lol

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
And berzeli is doing the OT for all of them.
I might, and I say might, peep Valor on The CW because Christina Ochoa is a really awesome science communicator. But I'm okay letting the rest pass me by
Yup. The Season 10 OT only ran to 4 pages, so not sure if there's value in a Season 11 one? Could just post on the Season 10 thread, I guess?
This year, 28. Next year, 0.

I don't know how I was feeling about The Brave till that ending.
guess im in for another episode at least

Thanks. I haven't heard of him before. Might try looking up other stuff he has been in then
I kept waiting for Bobby to do something wacky, but he was ok. Not the best part but not as bad as it could have been. I like that the stepbrother didn't fall into the jerk trope.
Shocking no one, the Young Sheldon gamble seems to have paid off at least for the premiere
Eww Scorpion.....it was fun while it lasted

I've only watched 4/6 episodes from Season 2, but I think you'll be fine. Obviously some things will have a bigger impact, but they explain the significance.
Edit: The Youngest of Sheldons is a monster. Also, I was bracing for The Good Doctor to do alright. It was near the top of US trends on Twitter for awhile last night. People seemed into it.
It's like the complete opposite of BBT. It's single cam, no laugh track, no one-liners and it's sweet. I liked it.
Night Court is a great 80's comedy he was in that I was way too young to be watching as a kid but loved it anyway.
I kinda like Scorpion. Its full of such stupid scenarios that over-the-top ridiculous that it is pretty funny to laugh at even as a drama. But yeah, things are not looking great for it. lol
I've heard of that but have never seen it. I'll have to look into it.
...
For some reason I thought Young Sheldon was going to be a bit more comedic. It wasn't a bad episode but the show didn't keep any strong interest from me. What is the regular night for it? Seems next week its not in the same time slot. Also, I forgot that Sheldon had a brother. I don't remember mention of him in Big Bang Theory

Strong start for Good Doctor and Young Sheldon.
Everything else?
Eh.
ABC did put up the premiere of The Mayor on demand, but besides that, I don't know.
Yeah Scorpion is fun popcorn tv, I can see them giving a petty 5th season just to get enough for syndication.
They mention his brother and his sister was seen in the first season.

Outlander continuing to do very well for Starz.
This season of Ballers was terrible, waste of time.
I could definitely see it being in syndication on myNetworkTV, TNT, or USA.
Ah, okay. I remember seeing the sister show up. But forgot any mention of his brother.

Wow! ABC and CBS did really well last night! Good for them! Also, ABC now has a new hit with The Good Doctor. God damn! It overperformed and did extremely well, besting DWTS by quite a margin!

I'd say that those numbers are pretty good for everything that premiered. Now, how much of this is first episode sampling and how much will stick, that I can't say. For example, the Brave premiered with a demo comparable to last season's Blindspot or Timeless. Me, Myself, and I premiered above last season's premiere of Life in Pieces. God help us, but Kevin Can Wait has kept its audience from last year's premiere somehow. In general I'd have expected just about all of the premieres to be lower than they were.
This could be related to people hearing about the removal of an actress and Remini being cast as a regular

Wow thats good all those BigBang fans stuck with young sheldon, they should keep it airing on the same night after BigBang. Though I guess the true test is how does young sheldon perform without BigBang.

^^^I miss Strike Back. Hopefully the rebooted version Cinemax is doing is half as fun as the original.

Its generic as hell until the cliff-hanger ending
Mission successful, chilling on a beach in Turkey with locals... Suicide bomber truck comes driving in and blows up on the beach.
I guess the only remotely "unique" element so far is a female sniper as one of the bros.
Some of those articles are conflating points (especially when it comes to streaming and the costs for licensing), but it's an interesting read.
However, I'm still annoyed at "The Crown costs $10 million per episode", Peter Morgan has repeatedly stated that the $100 million figure that was floating around was for the two first seasons. So unless something has changed it's half that.
also:
That's... that's even dumber than the premise of the show.
and:
Variety redesigned their website, and it's better!? (at least at a first glance)

Writers get to get so loaded, like write just like 5 or 6 episodes a year and you get $100K easy.

Well, sure, except you are also part of a writer's room for 4-6 months of that year, can't take other work, have to pay a 10% fee to your agent, fees to your managers, 1.5% WGA dues, taxes, you live in the second most expensive city in the country, you have no job security, even if you're mostly sure you'll get laid it's difficult to look for other work, if you get laid off at a weird time there'll be no work for the rest of the year, and to become a writer you typically need to work your way up the rungs during which time you're being paid peanuts.
I'm not saying you'd rather manage a McDonalds but it's not like all the Hollyweird Bigshots Are Living Large. The average staff writer today has a very middle class life. And the primary upward class mobility (residuals and EP credits on long-running shows that do well in syndication) is getting less common not more.
Dang, tempted not to even bother. Will give it a try I guess. And I suppose a lot of shows get more interesting after the pilot. But I'm not excited to hear this.

Good show gets good ratings--always a nice thing to see.

The pilot is so bog standard it's crazy. It felt like a TV Tropes entry come to life.
Valor looks like it easily might be the worst of the lot, mixing the military setting with CW soapiness. Seeing Ochoa running around with a long ponytail while in uniform raised some red flags already.
And berzeli is doing the OT for all of them.
