All I need now is a SHIELD decision and we good.

Man, this year feels like a bloodbath, mainly FOX due to making room for TNF.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine getting rescued is neat. Completely unnecessary, but neat. Guess I'm watching NBC next season (I can't even remember how long its been since I watched NBC).

Solved then more brought in and also solved.
The funniest part of him being an Independent is that the last episode had both parties courting him to lead them into the next election. lol

Oh yeah, what was the second conspiracy? lol

I mean, that model is probably dying now (which is why people like Sony Pictures TV should be at least a little bit scared), but I can understand the general idea of "we developed this for our network, and it's good, but it really doesn't fit with anything so let's see if someone else wants it".

The Good Place makes good use of molotov cocktails and Bortles. It deserves every eyeball in the known universe.

Must be nice to be satiated with your own representation.

Rosa coming out this season was incredible and handled so well.

I kind of get where you are coming from, since the previous season dragged in parts, but look at the bigger picture.
Best sitcom since the first three seasons of Community
Such a good show. The Good Place is so unorthodox I don't really consider it a sitcom. It's heavily serialized, so not a traditional one anyway.

I haven't finished season 2 of the good place despite loving season 1. Gotta get on that.

Thrilling news for me to see after a long night at work about 99. Good on ya NBC

Now we just need someone to pick up Last Man on Earth to make this night complete.

Will never ever happen unfortunately :(

Did Last Man ever get any sort of plot? I got tired of just watching Forte's character get stinkeyed and banished by all the others.

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.

Except now Arrested Development does that for S4 recut.

Not in the traditional sense, but they did a better job with having Tandy get along with the group and them accepting his personality.

Getting off from work and it's great to see B99 get picked up by NBC for a 6th season.

It took them a while but I always feel Leslie Knope from season 1 to 2 of parks is a good analogy for Tandy's character. She was the pits in season 1 and they retooled her for season 2. Tandy was funny in season 1, insufferable in season 2 and finally just a loveable, narcissistic buffoon in later seasons. Plot was basically them always finding a new homestead but I kind of loved the little mysteries that would pop up a couple times a season and the series ending episode was a doozy of a cliffhanger

Man they're being really cruel about agents of shield. I hope it's not dependent on the live ratings for this week because lol. Save us Disney! (again)

Hacker fucking shit up. It's dumb. Oh, it also has Michael J Fox playing a Mueller-like character assigned to go after the ex-President but now going after Kiefer. Also dumb.

I give Gotham shit but if it really is between that and Lethal Weapon with a new Riggs then I'll say what I said before, kill it. Me from earlier this week:

When the news about Crawford first came out a while back I started letting the show pile up on my PVR. With this news I'm deleting the episodes and not coming back. I'm done.
And I was a big supporter of the show.

Yup,

Literally the only way Lethal Weapon could work for me now is
latest

and I don't know how long that would be fun for.


CW can always pick up Gotham, that would be hilarious.
You'd have to hope for the DC service because CW would be such a massive downgraded budget it would be a different series.
Gotham uses so much CG on the exterior shots Gotham City would end up being just NYC or a Canadian city.

Considering I am watching the Arrowverse shows already, Gotham just looks like it has the budget of all 4 combined. It probably doesn't, but what the crew manages to do with their budget is just amazing.

I could never see CW do a shot like this.

I'm sure Gotham is a lot more expensive than shield too (after season 1), would you rather a massive budget reduction or just cancellation? Shield crew has made it work.. Mostly

#99 is back. Awesome. So all that's left is Gotham. I don't watch it religiously but i enjoy it when i watch it. I wish Lucifer and Wayward Sisters would come back though.

Dude.

You should be watching The Good Place.

I had a lot of fun with Season 1, but Season 2 just never landed with me. I was intrigued by how it ended though

Plot was basically them always finding a new homestead but I kind of loved the little mysteries that would pop up a couple times a season and the series ending episode was a doozy of a cliffhanger

This is a pretty good summary of Tandy and how the arcs work in the show. I thought how they did cliff hangers was always pretty good too and not really teasing in the Lost kind of way. Guess we'll never know about this seasons cliffhanger

The little callbacks in the show were criminally underrated. "get busy living or get busy dying", the lemonade (LOL), Todds breakdancing when upset, the name Tandy and so many more. The writers just lived in this world and it showed

They literally do stuff like that all the time.
It would be hard to do Gotham city as is with a large cut

They go all in trying to make the city feel unique with vfx, and to easily do certain shots.
Honestly its amazing how much they use and how well it works and doesn't effect the budget anywhere else.

Todd breakdancing never stopped being funny. Tandy and his brother singing karaoke always had me chuckle. Even the dumb shit like Tandy in the T-Rex suit was just a dumb thing but it managed to work.

I think the only side-character I didn't enjoy was Fred Armisen.

This article is extremely depressing:

https://www.cbr.com/gotham-fate-hinges-on-lethal-weapon-fox/

In Short: Fox has two days to find and secure a replacement actor for Lethal Weapon or else the show gets canceled and Gotham gets renewed. Apparently several actors have already turned down the role. This is going to be a long weekend for me... ;(
FOX never really cared about having loyal viewers and pissed them off when there were alternative solutions, that ain't gonna change now. I pretty much stopped watching their shows a few years ago, only made an exception for B99 and The Exorcist (a year later after reading positive viewers). With B99 I dodged the bullet thanks to NBC, with Exorcist I'm pissed again but at least season's "cases' are self-contained.

Are they looking to recast Riggs or bring in a new character? There was talk of a female partner for Murtagh but not sure if they're still pursuing that.
