I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Given the mishandling of this season, I can see why, but season 4 could have really turned things around. I guess we can all get excited for more Last Man Standing.

Can’t wait to see what cookie cutter talent show competition they replace it with.

Maybe a show called Fat Grandmas, hosted by a dead dog or something.

Did Moonlighting get better after David and Madelyn finally broke the sexual tension and did what we all were wondering if they'd ever do?

I don't get this line of thinking. Sure, delayed gratification can work, but putting a show on a holding pattern for an entire season and then promising that the next season will be awesome seems like the perfect way to not get to make that season. loving hell, just escalate poo poo, how hard can it be.

Moonlighting didn't have a framework where one of the pair would have to acclimate to wanting to bone the literal devil, and the other of the pair had a supernatural beef with god

But yeah, I can't say I'm surprised after this season. gently caress FOX anyhow

Yeah a bunch of people I know, myself including, don't have the time or patience for shows that never go anywhere. I understand there are people who want the opposite (in this very thread someone said they only wanted the procedural part of the show) but it doesn't surprise me that Lucifer got cancelled at all.

Wife and I are seriously considering skipping the final episode if it is going to be a dumb rear end cliffhanger.
The penultimate episode had Amenadiel regain his confidence and his wings, had Charlotte sacrifice herself with a selfless act saving her soul, had Dan get to spend some time with a woman he loved and then lose her tragically, Lucifer finally confessing his love to Chloe and her reciprocating it, Cain with no mark, and revealed that Maze still cared about the humans regardless of what she told herself.
Like, there it is. I'm good with that.

gently caress cliffhangers.

They've cancelled all their "liberal" TV shows and are bringing back Tim Allen's Last Man Standing, due to the idea that the popularity of the Roseanne reboot shows that everyone who watches TV in the USA now is super conservative.

My stomach sank as soon as I saw that this thread had sprouted 19 new posts overnight.

It's worth mentioning that the very next tweet says that the finale is the best writing he's ever done for the show; and it does wrap up the season nicely - the cliffhanger is setting up for what would have been the next season.

Honestly I think Lucifer was doomed from the start by virtue of being a show on Fox. I hope someone else picks it up. it deserved so much better. At least Gotham has survived so far. And if Lucifer died so that Gotham could live then I honestly don't mind. I just hope Tom Ellis gets into something good - preferably with more singing.

You know, almost every show I've ever watched that was canceled unfairly soon has been on Fox. gently caress Fox.

For now. Apparently it's a fight between it and Lethal Weapon. If the latter show can get its act together and cast a new Riggs, then Gotham's cancelled.

There's a mild ray of hope out there. Brooklyn 99 got renewed for a 6th season after some outpouring from the fans, so we can hope they listen to the lucifer fans as well.

Best idea I heard today was a mail in campaign like what they did for Jericho, but with douches :haw:

I'm pissed the show is cancelled, but I'm not surprised since this is Fox and they hate anything I like to watch.

I’m going to be pissed off if I don’t get a few more years of Gotham culminating in Mazouz donning the actual Batman suit for a season. He’s been great.

The initial premise was a show focused on detective Gordon; with Bruce Wayne as a minor character; but At some point they just went full crazy and started featuring Bruce more. At this point he’s already fighting crime in a costume; and they’ve got Ras Al Gul and poo poo.

The show went from a lame first season to completely bonkers in the most amazing way.

To be honest a more faithful adaptation of the comic with Tom Ellis still as Lucifer would probably be great. He's got the chops for 'suave supernatural rebel.'
