CBS has ordered 2 new comedies

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Welcome to the Neighborhood centers on "the nicest guy in the Midwest" (played by House of Lies' Josh Lawson) who moves his family into a tough neighborhood in L.A., where not everyone appreciates his extreme neighborliness.

Untitled Damon Wayans, Jr. series

The Wayans-fronted series, meanwhile, revolves around a 30-something couple (Wayans and Greek's Amber Stevens West) who start to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves when a young pop star moves in.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet:



ABC has also ordered a drama series called 'Million Little Things'

The series follows a group of friends from Boston who bonded under unexpected circumstances. "Some have achieved success, others are struggling in their careers and relationships, but all of them feel stuck in life," reads the synopsis. "After one of them dies unexpectedly, it's just the wake-up call the others need to finally start living. Along the way they discover that friends may be the one thing to save them from themselves."

Huh, this is interesting. Loved the movie, color me intrigued for a TV version.

(Non-Twitter embed people: it's a Youtube Red series of The Edge of Seventeen.)



The pilot is being written by Annabel Oakes, who has worked on Transparent and Netflix's Atypical.

Did his Castle other half get another season of Absentia, I liked it to begin with then it just got really daft and made no sense.

Did anyone here watch, did you like it?

When The Rookie is one of the very first shows ABC picks up and they seemingly couldn't wait to release that teaser footage... Yikes. Doesn't inspire much confidence in their lineup.

I meant this from the perspective of a viewer of the show. You don't RECAST a character after two full seasons in a show like this, you can attempt it after shooting a pilot episode but even then it's still risky imo.
If they get the right actor it can work. I remember a german crime drama that recast the lead after three seasons when the original actor quit, they did an episode where he crashed his car which exploded, he had surgery and got a new face, it was nuts (intentionally) but calling attention to the ridiculousness helped them getting away with the recast imo. The show ran for five more seasons, the new guy lasted longer than the original actor.

Oldest rookie time! He might be old, but... he gets results!

What happened to him? Did they make him look old intentionally?

My personal hopes:

End it this season:
-AoS
-Brooklyn (don't want it to drag...end with the wedding)

Give it 1 last season:
-Gotham
-Fresh off the Boat (ending on Eddie's graduation)

My hopes for the few broadcast shows I still watch:

End:

- Modern Family (it's already been renewed for a maybe-final tenth season, but as I mentioned previously, they're mulling an 11th season. It really doesn't need an 11th season)
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine (for the same reason as you - I don't want it to dip again in quality and there's something to be said by ending on a high note)

Renew:

- Agents of SHIELD (depending on how the season ends, I could be fine with a renewal or cancellation. There's loads of potential for one definitively final season following the events of Infinity War, but, as enjoyable as this season has been, I'm afraid another season set in dimly lit grey hallways (the result of the minuscule budget that ABC seems willing to commit to it) wouldn't be enough to do it justice)

Whatever:

- Bob's Burgers (I enjoy the show, and it's coming back this fall, but after 150+ episodes I'm fine with them ending it any time)

Fox has ordered 2 new series:

comedy The Cool Kids

The Cool Kids — co-written by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Charlie Day and Paul Fruchbom (Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television) — is set in a retirement community where a female rebel (Vicki Lawrence) shakes up the status quo set by three guy friends (Martin Mull, David Alan Grier and Leslie Jordan). Day will serve as an executive producer, with Kevin Abbott (Last Man Standing) taking over as showrunner.

drama Proven Innocent

Proven Innocent stars Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome) as Madeline Scott, a determined female lawyer who heads up a "wrongful conviction firm," which works to reopen cases to exonerate innocent people who were found guilty. (Madeline has a checkered past of her own, becoming a tabloid sensation as a young adult after being falsely convicted.) The supporting cast includes Russell Hornsby (Grimm), Nikki M. James (BrainDead), Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men), Riley Smith (Frequency, Nashville) and Clare O'Connor (Chicago Med) as a young Madeline.

(pretty sure that's the exact same fucking premise as ABC's Conviction, which aired last season...)

Ever since it was announced, I've been hoping the movie would serve as an epic series finale. The show will be in its 10th or 11th season by then, if Disney doesn't cancel the movie.

After the great job they did with Cobra Kai I have hope they nail this one too. EVERYONE WATCH COBRA KAI.

Would certainly be interesting if a Canadian television station accidentally announced the cancellation beforehand.
It's possible CityTV is calling it a series finale because they picked up too many shows and don't have room in the schedule for it anymore.
