NumberSix Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 No one scores points for this, but just to keep things lively and on-topic: AMC announced they've dumped all their reality shows except the two that nobody admits to watching but somehow live on anyway. So that means Game of Arms, Small Town Security, and Freak Show are all history. Points for no one. We're all still tied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm liking Scorpion so far, but the pilot set way too high a bar for emotional moments and killer popcorn-flick stunts that the next two episodes couldn't possibly have hoped to touch. But it's pulling in double-digit ratings, so chances are I'm gonna lose points on it. I do see a lot of other dead shows walking on my list, though. And when Selfie falls, many of us shall dine on its misery like kings.See, I can't believe its ratings. I was looking forward to Scorpion but I can't get attached to ANY character and that's sad. I'm not making any connections that make me want to stick with it. It's standard comic book formula and I should embrace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not making any connections that make me want to stick with it. It's standard comic book formula and I should embrace it. Right now it's on at 9:00 Mondays. It follows a solid hour of That Stupid Overpopular Comedy That Won't Die (one new episode, one rerun), which is supposed to stay there through football season and then move back to Thursdays. At that point, then we'll see how Scorpion fares without it as a lead-in. For now it's somehow even outperforming its 10 p.m. follow-up act, NCIS: The One With LL Cool J. Part of the show's problem is that most of the characters are antisocial by nature, which probably makes it that much harder for most viewers to connect with them. If Toby the fedora'd "behaviorist" fell off a cliff during November sweeps I wouldn't blink twice, but the rest of them I don't mind so much. They struck chords with me in the pilot, and they've still been getting human moments from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 So CBS' Unforgettable has been canceled a second time. Too bad nobody picked it because we all forgot about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 And, because news about any cancellation is starting to amuse me while I'm pacing back and forth and waiting for ABC to make any sudden moves, CNN has canceled Crossfire after 327 seasons, and HLN has axed the eponymous show of Jane Velez-Mitchell, the poor woman's Nancy Grace. And some other CNN stuff got canned but who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good God a Bear Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Stalker is an awesome show! Probably my favorite of the new shows. So far, The Flash has disappointed me. And I'm about done with Agents of SHIELD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumberSix Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 WE HAVE FIRST BLOOD! The reaping has begun with Manhattan Love Story, broken up after four episodes. In retaliation, ABC is replacing it with weekly double-shots of Selfie because they're really dedicated to making us cry.

NumberSix Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 In a recent issue, Entertainment Weekly theorized that one of the possible reasons the networks are letting all these nonstarters run so much longer than usual is because this year's lineup of mid-season replacements may be even worse. I shudder to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
