VagueRant posted:Is Friday Night Lights good? I keep hearing good things but they're completely non-specific. I just can't understand why there's so much acclaim for a high school drama (ugh) centred around american football (ugh)? All I can tell you is that I tried watching the pilot right when the CTE news was really heating up a few years back and it made it basically unwatchable. Even taking that out it was scattershot at best. Maybe it picks up after the first ep? Like you I've had it endlessly breathlessly recommended to me (except for season 2 which everyone pretends didn't happen) so maybe I was expecting too much.

Whenever the new Random Reviews thread happens, tonight's animated special ep of Hot in Cleveland needs to be on the list. I'll leave it at that.

raditts posted:Has ABC cancelled that godawful Rising Star show yet? There were commercials everywhere for that turd in the couple weeks leading up to it, followed by absolutely nothing after the first episode aired. It's below a 1.0 which is pretty much ABC these days, but it has yet to be cancelled and remains a massively expensive debacle. They're probably airing the rest because Summer but there's no way it's getting a second season. It's funny because the show is entirely driven by social media and having the show's app to vote, but then you see something like this from one of the judges:  Keep in mind that Ludacris has 9.5 million followers, several of whom probably retweet any drat thing he says. ShakeZula posted:I really liked the first two, haven't seen this week's yet. I think it and Married are a solid block. YTW is actually building a really sweet story and I'm loving it. Married I was locked in for as soon as I saw the cast but I swear if she got pregnant from the hotel sex just before his vasectomy then I'm going to feel really deflated about the show.

Toxxupation posted:I should really make a new ratings thread huh SHUPS The way this season is going I am not even joking about having no idea. Premiere numbers matching last seasons' finales without any bump at all has become the norm, Utopia is still on the air, anything and everything is down a half to a whole point... honestly until the first round of cancellations for each network comes through I won't be able to calibrate my expectations. It's that strange. e: VVV zoux posted:Why don't they just say viewers instead of making some arbitrary metric? It isn't arbitrary. 18-49 spends all the money and it's the only group networks care about, and traditionally they've only cared about them watching live to see ads. That may be changing. I don't know. But 18-49 remains the only metric they give a poo poo about at all.

muscles like this? posted:It is supposed to run for an actual year (not just a TV year) and as far as I know it's still running. They always had it on Fridays and Tuesdays but now it's just on Fridays, puttering about well below 1.0 and giving Fox execs ulcers (the ones that didn't already get fired anyway). There's no way it makes it a year.

Mulaney's order got cut from 16 to 13. RIP you weird-rear end Seinfeld pastiche. With that staff and that cast how did it not succeed? I would blame this on Fox Sundays but B99 transitioned just fine and it wouldn't have worked on any night.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Is there a possibility Fox will order more episodes if ratings or other circumstances improve? The decision was made after the 13th ep wrapped production, so Fox is saying "13 is plenty, thanks." It debuted to a 1.0 and rose to a whopping 1.1 week 2 and is about to get lost for 2 weeks due to baseball. It's toast.

smg77 posted:I still refuse to believe that Bad Judge was a real show and not one of the fake sitcoms from that Community episode last season. It was actually really funny, and A to Z was pretty sweet. At least both of them get to finish airing their initial order. I'll take solace in The McCarthys getting pulled before a second ep airs for getting double the numbers as either of those shows. SHVPS4DETH fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Nov 1, 2014 |

B99 is amazing, haters can vacate. The whole cast is so on-point it's ridiculous. Utopia's inevitable outcome has come to pass. I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did.

raditts posted:But yeah, watch Brooklyn 99. It makes him tolerable in the way that New Girl makes Zooey Deschanel tolerable, which is to say that the rest of the cast keeps them grounded. This is the most perfect comparison. I avoided one of the funniest shows on television because I was sick of Zooey Deschanel's poo poo on a grand scale. Sometimes it's fun to be wrong!

raditts posted:Is "How to Get Away With Murder" worth getting into? I have caught bits and pieces of the last few episodes and it seems okay (aside from some pretty bad acting from Viola Davis's scooby gang) but I can't really follow much of it because it's obviously very serialized. So far, absolutely yes. It's early in the run, you've got time. Also that bad acting makes more sense as the season goes on, if you can believe it. If anything my concern about the show is that it won't be able to sustain its premise beyond one season but it's working fantastically. Also if you haven't seen the first ep you're missing the best pilot since Mad Men.

I didn't expect to see The Millers on the cancellation pile so soon, but I also didn't expect to see it in the renewal pile last season. Also how it got axed ahead of The McCarthys is puzzling.

Spatula City posted:Hot in Cleveland It started off kind of charming but as the series has gone on it's become increasingly mediocre. The leads don't really have any chemistry with each other and Betty White gets all the money lines so there isn't much left for the rest. Their recent animated episode is possibly the single unfunniest installment of a comedy I've ever seen. It's probably going to run until TV Land gets out of the business of original series, and it's started showing up in syndication. If you watch any one episode after the first season, you've watched them all.

Glee will run out the clock on Fridays from January to March. This should surprise absolutely no one, and it's far better than what the show's ratings deserve. At least the remaining fanbase can get the conclusion they've been waiting fo-ahhahahah jk expect misery porn set to contemporary pop until the final second ticks down to Murphy himself wearing a Finn mask and singing a dubstep version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

I forgot to mention that Glee Fridays is in the 9pm slot. They're giving it a lead-in from (working title) "World's Funniest Fails", a project from YouTube's FailArmy channel to air in the 8pm frame. That's right: Fox is hoping that a web-sourced crotch-shot compilation show that has yet to be officially named is going to give some shine to the sixth and final season of one of their longest-running original series.

bull3964 posted:I'm ok with them burning through the last season quickly though, it's not like we need to worry about it getting good ratings this year. They could air it at 3 am for all I care just as long as they do a decent conclusion. They're giving it The Voice's timeslot. That's a pretty big push for a show that's going away and has never been a strong performer tbh. Oh and the Grumpy Cat movie was great because they let a genuinely funny person poo poo all over their movie and not only did they keep everything she did, they played along. It's a low bar to clear to be a legit good Lifetime Movie but it absolutely succeeded.
