2014-2015 TV Death Watch

[Imp]

Manhattan Love Story officially breaks up.

First official lost show of the fall season.

Was just about to post that.

Selfie is apparently getting double-header'd instead next week, which probably means they're running it until it's out of episodes before being cancelled.

Hoping it somehow survives with John Cho and Karen Gillan. Too bad it's up against NCIS, the most freaking watched drama on TV?

Some good news for the CBS haters, all of the new CBS dramas extended for the full season.

Should their numbers continue, should make some rather interesting decisions on what gets pulled at end of the year.

Including Stalker?

 

[lupi]

Yes.

I don't understand how anything with NCIS in the name does so incredibly well.

Well, apparently, it's because of the original NCIS.

Now that they've moved NCIS: LA to Monday, it's not doing as well. The beast is the original NCIS at 8pm with its 17-ish million viewers who don't bother to change the channel at 9pm -- also makes it stupid to put anything up against it.

The new one based in New Orleans is probably better than LA just because New Orleans is more interesting and it has Scott Bakkula (sp?).

Tuesday from 9-10 is a dead hour for me. Haven't found anything good on during that time in years. Person of Interest is on at 10pm though. Agents of Shield is meh for me. I can watch, but don't really do.

Did notice that mentalist was listed as final season. Guess part of the reason it was held for a midseason replacement/filler was to give it more of a series finale run.

Mind boggling to me given the international numbers

Following another set of underwhelming numbers last night, NBC has pulled the plug on Thursday freshman comedies Bad Judge and A to Z. They are not badjudgebeing pulled from the schedule — both will stay in the 9 PM and 9:30 Thursday slots. Both also will complete their 13-episode original orders. Legal comedy Bad Judge starring Kate Walsh has shot 10 episodes, romantic comedy A to Z has finished 11 episodes to date.

bad judge, a to z, donezo.

Think Rashida Jones was executive producing on A to Z... Didn't watch it, didn't care for the concept.

Dreams of a Utopian future have died.

Probably a lot of things I've never seen.

There goes Selfie. Cancelled today. No lead in, up against the single show (NCIS) that has more viewers than a few shows combined... Never would have guessed.

Even Suburgatory had better ratings and it got dumped.

That's crap. I liked that show and it was just starting to hit its groove.

Plus Karen Gillan. :wub:

I wonder how much better the ratings would be if she'd stuck with her Scottish accent? Her American accent is terribad.

 

[Xonim]

A to Z was okay for that type of show. I think where it struggled is that it went for the more cutesy (read: chick flick) approach instead of a comedic approach like HIMYM did with basically the same story. I mean, it's needed to become it's own show, but you're not going to get ratings with that.

I like Cristin Milioti (Zelda, but I hate that her name in that show is Zelda), but to me, nobody else fits their role. The male lead is meh, I guess he's ok, but the two friends add literally nothing to the show. They're just annoying. With a better supporting cast I think it could've been halfway decent.

So far, the list of cancelled shows are shows that should never have been produced in the first place.

I'm waiting for Bad Judge to go away. As much as I want to like Kate Walsh, the show sucks.

Bad Judge has already been cancelled, but I believe they're going to air the rest of the original 13 episode order.

See post #109.

I'm PISSED. I loved #selfie... @#%@#% ABC... I really enjoyed it...

 

[Imp]

Some good news at least... Forever got a full season order, no renewal yet. Best new show this season for me.

Apparently, it has good DVR numbers. Give it a better time slot, not up against Person of Interest.

 

[Imp]

...Hell of Wheels got renewed for a FINAL season five. Dafuq? Split across two years, apparently. Damn it, AMC.

 

[lupi]

forever gets a "partial" back half order, sounds like it's a one and done.

unforgettable was cancelled which kinda sucks cause it had a good cliffhanger.

I suppose I'm in favor of this. Show can't go on forever, not that I'm tired of it but it's gotta end sometime, now it can go out on a planned note because who knows if it even would have survived to see a 6th season, it is still a fringe show. And splitting the season up over 2 years, I never was a fan however I'll deal with it as long as it results in an extra episode or 2.

 

[lupi]

Hot in Cleveland will end after next season.

we're the millers axed last friday too.
