I'd like to interrupt this wonderful quasi-troll for what may be the greatest thing HBO Sports will ever put its name on.

Nellie Andreeva, Deadline.com, posted:

HBO is assembling a star-studded cast for 7 Days In Hell, an original comedy movie toplined by Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg and Game of Thrones‘ Kit Harington. Written by Murray Miller (Girls) based on an original concept by him and Samberg, the sports mockumentary stars Samberg and Harington as fierce tennis rivals in an epic, seven-day match at 2004 Wimbledon.

[...]

Confirmed to co-star in the film so far are Fred Armisen, Lena Dunham, Will Forte, Karen Gillan, Howie Mandel, Soledad O’Brien (playing herself), Michael Sheen, Mary Steenburgen and June Squibb. Based on breakdowns I’ve seen, Samberg’s Aaron Williams is tennis’ superstar bad boy, while Brit Harington’s Charles Poole is channeling Andy Murray, a tennis prodigy and certified truck driver. Adding to their rivalry is Gillan’s supermodel Lily, Charles’ childhood friend who made a sex tape with Aaron. Steenburgen plays Charles’ psychotic and controlling mother, while Forte plays a tennis historian. Jake Szymanski (SNL) is directing.

This is based on an actual thing that happened at Wimbeldon in 2010, where John Isner and Nicholas Mahut played an 11-hour match over three days.

Can't say I see Kit Harrington doing a good job in that, or anything, but hey, Samberg.

You don't think Kit Harrington can play someone who's 6'3"?

They should have kept up the parallels to the Isner/Mahut match, because watching Kit Harington act is about as boring as watching John Isner play tennis

Nickelodeon ordered four seasons of Korra before the show even started running, which was probably a really bad idea in retrospect.

This is so much dumber than either of the Community toxxes, because there's already another season deep into production. So much could happen before that even makes it to air.

Also Dads seems way worse than Last Man Standing.

What is the definition of the show being canceled in this case? I mean it's obviously not going to run forever, and the season after this one is already ordered and very deep into production.

That's the issue. Does it have to get renewed for a fifth season (this won't happen, by the way)? It already got pulled from the schedule, what's left?

Probably being shuffled to an exclusive deal with either Amazon or Netflix instead of broadcast.

Honestly I was kidding. I don't think you want to watch that show and I don't think anyone wants to read reviews of it. That's a really bad show.

I guess it's a problem for the nerd contingent then, because if you focus on too much on character in their space show (this I feel is almost universal for sci-fi but not fantasy) they will call it a "soap opera" which is laughably the dumbest thing I have heard from nerds in a long time.
To be fair that is a valid criticism of Defying Gravity which was all (very poor) interpersonal drama and the only sci-fi was that they were on a spaceship and had to return some alien baby thingy to Mars in the last 10 minutes of the show.

Neither, they're representative of Armenians. Clearly you haven't watched the spinoff "Keeping Up with the Cardassians."

When I think of the Bajorans I think of them using terrorist tactics like killing Cardassian civilians and children. But then again the Cardassians have kind of badass uniforms like the Nazis.

Looks like Amazon is the latest to try and turn The Man in the High Castle into a TV show with Ridley Scott. It was previously shipped around to BBC and Syfy but neither of them bit the bullet.
