2017-18 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: E Corp does hostile takeover. Shuts down fsociety

It is doing great for Fridays, and it might do better in other metrics that we don't get.
I don't even know how Agents of SHIELD would continue given what went down in Infinity War. They've already done time travel and a virtual reality world, so ways to escape having to deal with the present are limited...
When did they time travel? Did I forget something or is that S5? I really have to start S5 soon
I doubt it. I don't think the Supernatural audience will necessarily watch a spinoff, it might not be a good pickup for the network.
It will continue just to spite me.
I'm looking forward to when [Infinity War spoiler thing] doesn't happen by/in the season finale and the showrunners have to give interviews wherein they awkwardly dance around the fact that they weren't given any advance notice about the film's ending and have no idea how to maintain the "it's all connected" pretense anymore.
But maybe actual parallel universes.
I feel like this is true, just not even being informed. The show would be pretty silly not to include it, though.
I don't think they would have anyone on the main cast disappear. All that would do is give the cast member a season long paid vacation until the last 3 episodes of season 6 air after Avengers 4 and everyone who is dusted comes back. But there's no reason the show can't deal with the impact of the snap on the rest of the world, as we started to see in the post-credits scene.
In fact, that could add even more context for those who watch the show and the films.

That being said, Chloe Bennet said...
...she filmed an extra day after the season wrapped with a secret actor. My guess is Ghost Rider but who knows?
rofl
I can't think of who it could be from the movie side. There's no way they'd spring for an A list cameo at the tail end of what might be the series, and one of the B/C tier characters like Sif would be yawnsville. Maybe it's an Inhumans cameo >:)
I'm angry that anyone would talk shit about the MASH finale. :p
Haha. In my mind...
Steve is gonna be like, "Hey, we're down like 45 heroes, let's go recruit some. And Quake will be one of them.
... but no, it'll be Ward as the special guest.

I think setting any Marvel TV series between IW and A4 will be problematic because
While exploring the post snap world perhaps has creative potential, I fully expect time to be rolled back to the snap. So effectively an entire season of TV will be erased.
I don't think that's the case, personally.
Avengers 4 ending when the snap happened would be a bit of a cop out. I think time will pass and at the end, the dusted characters will be brought back.
AoS is the only show that really has to react to Infinity War in a big way because it's a weekly show that runs for at least 6 months. The Netflix shows get off easy because they're smaller 13-episode seasons that premiere on a single day. Daredevil S3, Punisher S2, Luke Cage S2 will each take place over just a few days and they tell a single story. So they can just take place before Infinity War.
As much as I would love the ending of Infinity War to impact a Netflix show in the middle of a season, that might be hard from a storytelling and planning standpoint.
The other options, where it makes more sense, would be Runaways S2 and Cloak and Dagger S1. And throwing Infinity War in the middle of a first season might be too much.
I figure those other TV shows will have even less to do with the MCU than the Netflix shows. lol
Thursday night's ratings:
Glad to see that Young Sheldon keeps doing well. It had a really good episode again, it is at its best when it does emotional stories between George Cooper Sr. and one of the kids. I hope they don't continue the show to his death. Even The Big Bang Theory hit that high note, George Jr was really sweet to Sheldon, and I could see Montana Jordan growing up into Jerry O'Connell.
If the speculation on A4 based on set photos is true
and A4 has a time jump of 5 years then there is no way that they don't roll it back. It's not just the heroes that were dusted- it was 50% of the entire population. The emotional weight of that is so huge that it feels like too much of a burden to put on the MCU long term. You would have family members returning to find that spouses had moved on and remarried, died in the interim, etc. Even if they don't roll it back, SHIELD would have to match the time jump otherwise they are stuck in the post-snap worlld for the life of the show.
Of course all of this may be wrong but given I have little faith that the AoS showrunners are entirely clued in on the resolution for A4, it just feels like they are going to be in a pretty huge no man's land no matter what.

A.P. Bio is still going? I have my PVR set to record all new episodes, but it hasn't recorded anything in probably a month and a half to two months. It's not defective -- there's just been zero timers or episodes.
Pretty surprised everyone is returning. Perry and Seacrest are huge money drains. I guess somehow they are still making a profit.
The only one from the movie side I could see appearing, is Cameron Klein. Minor character, probably not too expensive and he is working with Fury.
Darn katy perry needs to go. Wonder if they will cut her pay.
Friday night's ratings. It doesn't look like it was The Avengers holding back last week's ratings, if these numbers have anything to go by:
Wanted to watch Dateline, but my power was out from 6pm until who knows when (I fell asleep after 1am) so I didn't get to.
Looks like the last episode of A.P. Bio was on Thursday a couple of nights ago. It definitely felt like a season finale even if it won't get renewed.
Weird. The last one I saw was episode 8 according to Wikipedia.
I get the American channel it's on and the Canadian one, but my PVR didn't save anything since then and I've seen zero listings.
You sure you have it set to record all new episodes no matter the day or timeslot? This is why you should use something to keep track of what you're watching so it's easy to see if you've missed something because of a PVR screw up.

Could be hockey on NBC and Global messing up airing it at the right times, that's happened every playoff time.
Yo, what happened with 5-0?Friday night's ratings. It doesn't look like it was The Avengers holding back last week's ratings, if these numbers have anything to go by:
Extremely stable and suddenly dropped from a 1.0 average to .7 randomly.
Even last week was a .9

I do, yes. I'm almost positive. I've checked but will double check.
I see episode 13 on Global's website, along with others. It seems watchable, but the others are locked. You have to sign in with your provider even though the channel has always been available through antenna as well. It's stupid. My provider doesn't give us a log-in, but it's listed.
Anyways, I guess they did air but my PVR missed them. I forgot about the show because I've had a lot going on.
Global doesn't have any rights for hockey so it can't be that. NBC maybe. I believe I have it set to record all new episodes though.
It would be neat to see them do another 3 act structure - one immediately after the snap, one a couple years later, and another a couple years after that.
According to the Deadline pilot roundup, CBS basically think the L.A Confidential pilot is too good for their channel... They're considering moving it to CBS All Access or selling it to Netflix/Amazon.
Just make it either an NCIS spinoff or a tie in to Hawaii 5-0.
So if that was the end fo A.P. Bio, I think that was a fitting ending. I enjoyed the cast and Glenn Howerton is his not Dennis role as Jack Griffin and I especially enjoyed seeing Patton Oswalt in anything.
As for Champions, I wish Mindy Kaling was more involved in this show, I though the show was gonna be more about her and Anders Holm raising their son together. Jon Favreau's brother is pretty good in his role though.

Needs some more procedural wisecracks and genius manbaby with sarcastic sidekick women.
"LA Confidential is one of CBS" best received pilots, beautifully shot with a strong cast. CBS has rolled the dice on a period crime drama with big-name stars before with 2012's Vegas, which ran for one season. While I hear LA Confidential is very much in contention at CBS, there is a lot of talk that it may be a better fit for streaming sibling CBS All Access."
This is unbelievable that they don't want to air it on CBS because it's "too good" and instead want to put it on CBS All Access. What kind of excuse is "well the show is beautifully shot with an amazing cast and one of the best received pilots in CBS history so let's not air it on CBS".

I'm guessing they know that a prestige-sounding drama would have a lot more of an uphill battle than something a little more easier to engage with. It's about giving the show the best home it deserves, in this case. But it does sound like the show is too good for their audience, haha, which is super weird to see.
Man Once Upon A Time basically ended with last night's episode, they tacked a stinger on in the last 2 seconds just to set up the 2 hour series final episode next week.
I'm curious to see what CBS does with Superior Donuts considering their problem with diversity.
The problem there is that going by what was established with TBBT Sheldon's dad is going to have to become a really bad person at some point, while the character in the show is shown to be the opposite.
