Only time I've been seriously upset over a cancellation was Southland, that show was fucking brilliant.

I was ok with the second cancellation as they knew exactly what they wanted to do w/ it and the characters.

My mom watched Dynasty. Caught bits and pieces of it when saying goodnight. I remember the Moldavian (?) wedding massacre still quite clearly.

But how the fuck did Dynasty get renewed?

Yeah, when they renewed almost everything else despite it beating only Life Sentence in the ratings. The overseas Netflix deal is probably the biggest reason it's still alive, plus CBS.

Oh, it's a CBS co-production. There you go, that explains it.

Still, its ratings are unbelievably bad even by the CW's standards.

I was only able to get about halfway through the first season of Gotham before losing interest and dropping it.

Honestly, not sure what she's said about wanting to be out or not. It's very possible, as she does have a young child. And I would understand that. My opinion is if she wanted out though, they shouldn't have even tried to pick up the show. Caroline made a point to re-open the school personally, with Alaric. Her children are going to this school, she should be there. Just doesn't make sense she wouldn't be there. The only other thing that would make sense is if they will kill her off in the final season of The Originals, which that is a crappy option, as well.
I don't think it's a crappy option. If the actress wants out of if the writers don't have any meaningful journeys to send Caroline in, then I'm all for them killing her off. Hell, it might actually be the best option they got if they wanna move forward in Mystic Falls and sign the school and Caroline not being around when her twins are there.

I go to sleep for a few hours and the whole world is on Fire what the fuck

Surprised at iZombie. Don't really mind Wayward Sisters getting passed on, it seems it probably would've conflicted with Charmed and that has the better creative team anyway.

Let me re-word, neither is an option I would be happy about. If she wants to go, then I respect that. But I haven't seen anything online saying as such. If that was the case though, I would just have preferred them to drop Legacies and go with Wayward Sisters.

I kind of expected iZombie to survive for potentially a final season, especially with The CW expanding to another night, glad it is though it being drawn out this long did start to make me a little nervous.

Now to actually watch season 4...

And you'd be wrong to do so. Also it has never had anything to do with the corny af Marvel vs. DC rivalry.

The difference being AoS is good.
j/k, Gotham's okay

I've seen the vast majority of AoS so I feel like I'm speaking from a place of substance by saying it's really not. Why did I keep watching? Because I'm invested in Marvel stuff in general and I kept hoping it would get better... and it did, but let's be real, it very rarely touched being good. It's very "watchable" which is why it "works" as a fluff show, but if it didn't have the Marvel branding (and they did away with all pretext of it actually being connected to the MCU long ago) I can't imagine people would really prop up this show like they do.

Yes Season 4 was in fact "Good" in an enjoyable way but the other seasons all range from mediocre to straight bad with a ton of poor writing and acting plus saddled with a constantly low budget.

Dunno what you mean by this.
Neither are great shows, but they have a lot of fans on enthusiast boards like this one who constantly recommend them when there is so much better out there in the "Peak TV" landscape.

Taste is subjective, but as a fan of the show I gotta disagree with you.

Wasn't Lucifer heading toward something pretty big?

It was. For them.



I always tune out what someone says this, because it's inevitably always followed up with a statement that implies everyone is just lying to themselves.

We prop the show up because it's good.

I'm glad you guys enjoy the show. But I also think if you really believe Agents of Shield is a great show you need to watch more TV.

I'll leave it at that though because I'm really not trying to antagonize/start something here.

Bad Boys Spin-off L.A.'s "Finest" not moving forward at NBC

Remember the May 2013 shocker when CBS passed on Beverly Hills Cop sequel pilot featuring Eddie Murphy? We have a similar situation this year with the Bad Boys offshoot pilot LA's Finest, toplined by the films' Gabrielle Union and fellow movie starJessica Alba.

NBC has opted not to go forward with the project, from Sony Pictures TV., Jerry Bruckheimer Television, Primary Wave, and 2.0 Entertainment. I hear the producers are already fielding interest in the property from other networks.

While not off the charts, LA's Finest had garnered solid buzz and is a rare marquee drama title with two diverse female leads — something we don't have on broadcast TV. It is not entirely clear whether NBC's decision was based on creative or business reasons (NBC had been in negotiations with Sony TV on four projects — two pilots and two current series), but the answer is likely in some combination of the two.
