Announced earlier this week: Gracepoint is officially Case Closed. As Broadchurch fans, JC and I hoped the Fox version wouldn't be too big a disappointment, but it was very nearly a photocopy of the original except for one pointless extra red-herring suspect who added nothing, a solution that didn't vary from the original until thirty minutes from the end (thus muddying the impact just for the sake of surprising us very few Broadchurch fans, AND leaving us on a superfluous cliffhanger), and the Tenth Doctor proving he should never try on an American accent ever again. Also, Olivia Colman >>>>> Anna Gunn.

 

One man predicted its terminal condition:

Gracepoint: 9

I'm kind of amused by this guess because Fox announced in advance this would be a 10-episode season, but anyway...

CURRENT STANDINGS:

Iceman: 160
NumberSix: 160
ShadowDog: 130
Sonny: 120
RC Allen: 80
Good God an American Remake of a British Bear: 80
Foxglove: 40
Nixie: 30

I always thought "LOL" was "lots of laughs"

My wife and I have argued about that many times.

 

I have nothing to add.

 

Sonny's last post is hilarious.

I was so glad that it was that show. I've never seen it and have no clue if it was any good. I just know that when I saw the headline "NBC cancels show", I was so afraid that it was Constantine that when I clicked on the link, I had a fully prepared lungs-full of air to scream my best Vader-esque "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Suddenly realized while reading about Sleepy Hollow's renewal that we never awarded points for Mullaney or Red Band Society. Let's fix that:

Mulaney (10 episodes)
Red Band Society (9 episodes)

4. Mulaney (8 episodes)


Mulaney - 2


Mulaney (9 episodes)

Mulaney (13)

...and Sonny wins bonus points for guessing the Mullaney episode count. Kudos!

 

CURRENT STANDINGS:

Sonny: 170

Good God a Jerky Tear-Jerker: 120
Foxglove: 40
Nixie: 30

Here's a first: EVERYONE picked at least one of three shows. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The following shows were also canned, most of them today:

The Taste
The Mindy Project (shopping around for a pickup doesn't negate the cancellation, far as this game's concerned)
Backstrom
The Following
Hart of Dixie
The Messengers
About a Boy
Constantine
Marry Me
State of Affairs
