2014-2015 TV Death Watch

[RossMAN]

How is Legends faring?

I'd also like to know.

I'd also like to know.

I thought Legends was good to average. I stopped watching it thinking it will get cancelled as the episodes started to get more boring after the first three. If it gets picked up for Season 2 I will start watching again.

 

[lupi]

Nothing that has been released yet.

Man, this thread was hard to find...

Just looked up some ratings and rumors: Forever, Selfie, and Manhattan Love Story not looking good. I like the first two, so that sucks.

Gracepoint and Red Band Society also not looking good.

Haven't bothered to watch Red Band because I don't like the idea of a show based around sick kids.

Gracepoint I've been watching because I loved Broadchurch... Too bad it's a really close copy and Vancouver looks nothing like England along the coast. Open ocean versus really mountainous, rugged terrain and lots of rich peoples' boats. The worst sin is how they're trying to mimic the slow motion parts of Broadchurch. Instead of getting a high-speed camera, they appear to have shot at regular frame rate and just slowed it down in post, which creates a choppy effect that looks terrible. Anthony Bourdain can somehow hump a high-speed capable camera around the world into developing countries with a small crew and probably lower budget, what's their excuse.

I watched the first episode of Gracepoint and thought it was pretty bad. All the slow motion and cheesy emotional moments were too much for me. Really dumb and predictable, in the first episode anyway. Can't imagine watching another episode, though I may try out the original at some point.

I like "Forever" so of course it will end up getting canceled.

Try Broadchurch. Much better shot, emo done properly, and it's the same lead actor playing the exact same role...

 

[Ns1]

Wait, you just started watching The Walking Dead?

Of course I still haven't seen BSG, SOA, 24, etc.

yeah. Haven't seen sopranos/bb/SOA either

Yeah I think I will give it a shot. I do enjoy a good mystery plus Broadchurch has Olivia Colman, who I love!

WTF?! The Bridge was AWESOME this year, surpassed the far-fetched serial killer storyline from last year and did a good job focusing more on the drug trafficing aspect. Was definately another season's worth of story left to tell, this disappoints me greatly.

Mulaney on the other hand, hah, I actually gave the first episode a watch because I felt it could be a modern-day Seinfeld if done right.. not one laugh was had.

of all the shows mentioned, IMO, only Forever is really worth watching...but it's NOT "GOOD."
Gracepoint is watchable...but just barely.

I never could get into The Bridge, but Bad Judge is just bad TV...and A to Z just looked terrible. I made it about 10 minutes into Mulaney before I turned it off...forever.

Sorry to hear about "The Bridge" but I was surprised it even got a second season. Just too good but difficult to watch and follow for most. Ill miss it.

Forever is a guilty pleasure but quite good if you can swallow the premise. I even like Judd Hirsh paired with the amazing Plastic Man, Reed Richards. His lab assistant is quite amusing also. Tongue in cheek humor such as in Sleepy Hollow.

Bad Judge (despite Kate Walsh being hot), Mulaney and A to Z didnt even make one full episode.

 

[MustISO]

Mulaney definitely needs to die, couldn't watch more than a minutes. A to Z reminds me of a romantic chick-flick movie that they filmed and cut into 26 episodes. Don't think it's going to make it past this season.

The Bridge was one of the best shows on TV.

 

[Imp]

Only scene I've seen from The Bridge is of two people banging outdoors at night. Think it was a season 1 marathon before season 2 started.

 

[lupi]

Red Band got a very limited back half order, think that puts it on the end slope of the bubble list.

Showing humanity does have a chance, Here comes honey boo boo will no longer arrive.

Here comes honey Boo boo toast

Rumor is that she's dating a convicted child molester... TLC no want to associate with that?

Thank god.The less trashy TV out there,the better.

not a rumor.

 

[ImpulsE69]

It still baffles me to this day how that show was even on TV. WTF is wrong with people?

 

[lupi]

Manhattan Love Story officially breaks up.

First official lost show of the fall season.
