Nice, I know the show isn't produced by CBS and was getting expensive for them but I've been enjoying the show ever since I started it in season 2. Glad it made it.
Happy for Man With A Plan. Pretty sad about Scorpion even though I knew it was likely going to happen. Far too few people watching it. The 5th season would have started with some interesting stuff. It was fun while it lasted.
The main problems with season 1 were:
- It was extremely on the nose with who becomes which villain later on. This was annoying as hell.
- Most episodes were monster of the week with more or less no greater influence on the overall setting.
- They tried to put as many of the main characters as possible into each episode, which resulted in pretty much everyone getting screentime, even if it were only like 2-3 minutes.
They dropped that with their first proper arc that lasted for a few episodes at the end of season 1 and started to really have a season long plotline and ~3+ episode long smaller arcs in each season. Also, if some characters were not relevant for the current plot, they simply would not appear. This helped a tremendous amount by giving the characters that did appear actual breathing room during the episodes.
Also, think of Gotham as it's own thing, not necessarily as "This is different than the comics so it is bad!". That doesn't help. Gotham can be dark as fuck and campy as hell 5 minutes later in the same episode. Which is why I love this show so much.
Yeah definately had a weak S1 in comparison. I just... didn't like the villain. As the show went along, it really grew into "Batman: The Villains" with some good, some annoying, but better than just sticking to a single one all season long. Watching them trying to screw each other over to rule Gotham has been fun.
Pretty much,
show reshifted its structure dropping most of the procedural episodes and shifting more towards mini-arcs.
Also tried adjusting characters that could potentially be saved
Bruce started getting more interesting stuff to do
Barbara became a fun character
While the really bad characters(Montoya, etc) that would be impossible to work with were dropped entirely.
Late S1-S2 is also when they started letting the villain actors completely take their characters and run with them instead of being reserved and overly careful with it.
Literally the only thing I've ever seen from Scorpion was a clip on youtube where they were hacking a moving plane on an airport runway in a supercar going like 200mph and they were connected via an ethernet cord or some shit. And at one point the female hacker was dangling in air holding onto her laptop/ethernet cord. Was hilariously over the top and dumb.
edit: found the clip

On the Deadline page about its cancellation, they mention this as well. That it was the only one with a minority lead but that CBS picked up two shows with minority leads for the next season.
Shame about Superior Donuts, really liked the cast.
I think the only CBS show I'll be watching now is Bull.

I think this is the pilot. I never watched that episode but I've loved how incredibly contrived and over the top the situations they find themselves in are.
Can't be the case, because I did not fuck with Season 2 either lol
Yeah, I'm actually surprised at how long it lasted lol

I really don't see Lethal Weapon coming back because one of the lead actors just got fired for inappropriate behaviour on the set. Gotham is likely to be renewed and LW kinda had a series finale in a way last episode.
Y'know, everyone is all up in arms over Fox's several cancellations but the real bloodbath is at ABC. Twelve shows! (Possibly 13.) That's just shy of half their lineup. Networks usually don't get rid of so many shows at once because they have to replace them with new stuff that needs to get marketed. If there are too many shows to advertise, a lot of them may get lost in the shuffle.
Nah, just enjoy what you watch while it's on. When stuff is cancelled at least you had fun while it lasted. If stuff you're watching isn't fun any more then just drop it.
Whatever happened to Camelot (King Arthur as a modern day police procedural) and (sexy Oliver) Twist (a struggling, twenty-something female (Twist) who "finally finds a true sense of family in a strange group of talented outcasts who use their unique skills to take down wealthy criminals.")? Really wanted to see them because of how ridiculous they sound.

They got rid of shows either well past their prime or that barely caught on with anyone.
With all of the renewal/cancellation announcements going on, I forgot to post last night's ratings!
Friday night's ratings:
Friday night's ratings:
Yeah, other than the shows that were ending (The Middle and Scandal) they only killed stuff under a 1.0 season average keeping only Murder and For the People (both because of Shonda) and Shield still has a shot (because of Disney).
Yeah and it is doing better than Life Sentence in the same time slot. Small victories.
Thanks for this. Not an avid comic reader so no need to worry about authenticity.
You know, I guess Gotham is basically a cheesier version of Killing Eve. :p

bad firehawk. Killing Eve is a drama with a terrific darkly comedic touch. Gotham is bad cocaine laced with LSD.
You type that like it's a bad thing, but that's why it's amazing.
Bummed at designated survivor, surprised at 99, and realizing that I am truly aging out of the demo...

Gotham has bad cocaine dead souls. Now Zoo, Zoo had the good stuff.
Or rather Zoo had a first season that isn't utterly fucking dreadful so you can go through that to get to the good bits. I did actually try a later Gotham episode because I heard that it was balls out crazy, and I rather like Cameron Monaghan (for reasons). But Zoo it decidedly is not.
I know a lot of people don't like the show on here, but I enjoyed Scorpion. The stunts they pulled were downright ridiculous, but I didn't watch it for that. I watched it for the characters, the interaction between one another.
That said, I would have been ok with the cancellation with the exception on how the season ended. There was no cliffhanger of sorts, but also not a good way to wrap-up the series. Very unsatisfying. Would just like to see even a 5 episode 'good' way to wrap-up the group, but of course we will never get it.
I will miss the show.
