Good on Sony.
Fucking love Timeless. If any good can come out of everything i love being destroyed is Gotham and Timeless living.
Wait so Kiefer had contractual power to fuck the show at his own whims? Geez of course the show was cancelled if they can't keep a showrunner and the expenses were about to jump up.
L.A. Confidential, the show "Too good for network". Where it will end up, who knows.
These kinds of clauses aren't uncommon for lead actors. But yes it is fucked up that these kinds of dumb stipulations made by one actor can screw the entire show and everyone working on it.
To be absolutely fair though, it looks like in this case it isn't just the Toronto to LA move, probably just the straw that broke the back of the show which has had problems for a while now clearly with how many showrunners it burnt through.
Just finding out now they brought back Battlebots but moved it to Discovery channel.
Battlebots was my shit. So I recorded the reair.

Wow, I wonder if that Lethal Weapon or Gotham deal is 100% one or the other without any wiggling room.
Cool to hear L.A. to Vegas is in the conversation still.
Cancel Lethal Weapon God damn,
Show will be awful without Riggs and I certainly won't watch anymore despite it being like my 2nd favorite show for S1 and Season 2.
Damon Wayans is great but I don't think he could carry it without their chemistry.
Doesn't sound like there's wiggle room. Sounds like it's one or the other.
The article later says:
Bob
Simpsons
Brooklyn
Family Guy
Bob
is their schedule for Sunday
Yeah thanks Ratsky, I brain farted and had Brooklyn on at 9:30 but it's 8:30.
WB better be pushing Gotham.
Lethal Weapon going to take a massive hit and doubt S4 will happen, at least get Gotham to syndication.
Shit I didn't even see the designed survivor cancellation until now.
I was into that show a ton in the first season, fell off of it around the holiday and I never could get back into it.
Oh well.

Technically, yes. But I don't see another network picking up a spinoff of Supernatural as one of the fun aspects of it would be potential crossovers.
My hope is that the fans make enough noise. They're not going to be quiet on this one.
My jaw would drop for Timeless. Great show but the ratings aren't there, I'd be amazed if it can pull that same miracle that got it a second season and stretch to a third. :S
Would be hilarious if TNT picked it up(I know there isn't even a thought of it.)
Would fit their Supernatural, Angle, Charmed padded schedule.
Even the mention of Angel still makes me bitter over the cancellation.
To think, if it just lasted a little longer, until the new management stepped in, it likely would have ended up being some sort of 7-10 season show.
I really can't think of someone I'd rather have playing Riggs than Clayne Crawford.
So I'd let Gotham live for the fans.

Of course. I watch SHIELD out of habit, I look forward to Gotham.
So it does, thanks! That's a no-win decision right there, especially when they have to lock down a new star for one of them over a weekend. Going Gotham would solve the headache super easily.
No, Kimmy Schmidt was ordered straight to series (with all or almost all of Season 1 filmed) before NBC decided not to air it.
Netflix did pick up Insatiable (a CW pilot) last year, though.
what are the examples? I guess Arrested Development, but that was years later, does it even count? I cant even think of anything else. American Dad at TBS?
edit: completely forgot Community.
Community was by the skin of its teeth due to Yahoo Screen being a thing (and then quickly not being a thing anymore). The other most recent one I can think of is The Mindy Project when it moved from Fox to Hulu. It aired for 3 seasons on each, giving it a total of 6 seasons.
Makes me wonder how TGIF worked so well in the 90s. I guess time shifting killed it. But we always used VCRs back then.
Whatever happened to those episodes of Community after Yahoo Screen died? Did they ever find a new home? They're not very good, but I still like that cast.
It's rare but I'd say it happens once a year or so.
Some notable ones I can think of:
Travelers (most recent, only a few months ago)
Arrested Development
Longmire
Damages
The Killing
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Cougar Town
Scrubs
Community
Kimmy Schmidt
Southland
Degrassi
The Mindy Project
Ripper Street
Yeah Mindy got picked up because it was only three seasons in and then it ended before contract renegotiations. B99 doesn't have that luxury. It would be an expensive revival because you only get one season before having to resign everyone.
Things were different in the '90s. People still kinda watched TV on Fridays.
Arrested Development and Community are the most memorable ones, I'd say. Then there was Longmire, The Killing, The Mindy Project, and Travelers just had it happen. Those are the ones I remember currently!
Edit: TDLink has the best list, dang.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was saved by CW. It was supposed to be on a premium cable channel. Showtime, I think?
It originally started out as intending to be on NBC but NBC was afraid that it wouldn't do well since they were barely airing any comedy shows at the time. There were promos and ads for it too saying "coming this fall to NBC." This was at a time where I think Parks & Recreation was the ONLY veteran comedy show, and it was going into its final season. So, NBC made a deal with Netflix to air the 13 episodes of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt that were already filmed and they agreed. And the rest is history.
Tina Fey (the co-creator of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) even mentioned how after the deal was done, they had to go back through each episode to re-edit them and made sure there weren't any scenes that faded to black because Netflix shows don't do that since they don't air commercials.
