Maybe some US types could tell me if the Monday timeslot will affect it? Like, what is it up against ratings wise?
-
I really hope that it's back for a whole season, like they're saying it is. Because if anything could kill it, it would be a crappy monday time slot.
-
But Chyler Leigh always spells cancellation.
-
Well, looking at the Monday timeslot, I don't think its that bad. AD will be going against Wife Swap(ABC), the Bachelor 8(ABC2006), King of Queens(CBS), Fathom(NBC), 7th Heaven(WB). I assume King of Queens and 7th Heaven get ok ratings considering those shows have been on for awhile. Fathom is an unknown. Wife Swap and the Bachelor both might beat up on AD, but I see it as a better slot than Sundays simply because there is so much on. People can watch AD, then switch over to MNF.
-
If 24 comes back to mondays in Jan 06, and if fox dosent cancel AD, mondays will be fan-freakin-tastic!
-
Wife Swap, Fathom, King of Queens, 7th Heaven. If they promote this it could easily do well. That Head Case show which looked ok as it had Adam Goldberg in it is DOA. Boreanez's show is up against nothing good bar GG, could be a hit, especially as it is before House. Also no TWW/Arrested crossover, many people will be happy with that (I would be if I lived in the uS, but I download the show anyway).

thank god Arrested is back, I just hope people will watch it on

for a second I thought one of the returning shows said "Tranny 911" - hey it's 208am people!

too little too late.

...from here, all these shows are doomed.
Anyone else notice a refreshing LACK of reality shit on most major networks? That's a good thing. -

'Ohhh look, the conservative agent doesn't like gay people. ISN"T THAT FUNNY????' Wow, that's some real cutting edge comedy right there for you.
-
Anyone notice that "Kitchen Confidential" with Nick Brendon will be on against "How I Met Your Mother" with Alyson Hannigan?
Well, that's why TiVo was invented -
Arrested on Mondays is sweet. Especially at 8 when there's NOTHING for me to watch. "Bones" might be good as long as it doesn't get too procedural. "Head Cases" sounds A LOT like Boston Legal or maybe like a generic Ally Mcbeal. The cast is great though so who knows? Not to sure about the rest. Guess I'll find out come Fall.

by supertoyslast
...and takes up every other timeslot. But, happily, I too have noticed a distinct lack of new reality shows on the networks. I don't know why - most successful ideas are flogged until long after they've stopped breathing - but I am grateful. It can't just be down to the failure of The Contender, can it?
-
here's hoping that Hart Hanson can get his leading lady to stop eating pound cake this time. also does anyone else get sucked into watching the hebrew hammer every time it comes on comedy central. what a piece of shit movie but I laugh at it every time. the chick is hot too. jewish chicks. also why did they cancel life as we know it- it was kind of good and definitely new. I'm pretty sure it would have picked up viewership. also what will 'Reunion' do after 20 eps. start over? michael rapaport is good on tv but much better in movies.

The episodes on the third box set that wre never aired are funnier than anything on Family Guy or American Dad. The Universe in a box episode is classic.

by hypeendshere
anyone else remember their huge campaign to start a year-round roster of new shows?
-
Herc forgot to mention that Christian Kane (Lindsey McDonald on "Angel") will be co-starring in CBS' "Close to Home" this fall. That's a total of five former Buffy/Angel actors that will be starring in new series next season. Pretty cool.
-
To me that does not bode well for it.

"Whatever Happened to the Class of 65?" (or whatever) from the late 70s. Anybody see that half-season series back then?????
-
Every year they come out with great looking shows with great casts and every year they end up cancelling them because they don't immediatly have the ratings they want, they hardly let the shows develop into another season where people might give it a chance. Perhaps they're ratings suck because people have given up on them actually keeping a new show. I DVR all the shows until half way though the season to ensure my hopes aren't destroy'd so far House was the only keeper last year. This year they actually have several shows I think would be great but I won't watch them until a few weeks after the ratings because I'm tired of their red button cancellation habit.... bastiches. Prediction, Prison Break is first to be cancelled. Bones second.. and where the hell is the Inside on their fall schedule? they don't have a lot of confidence in it succeeding over the summer?

"Reunion" - one of the many Lost clones we will see over the nex
by big jim
The show is set in the present but the characters are developed mostly through flashbacks. We see where they started out and how they ended up where they are today.
-
hour will keep it the red-headed stepchild of network T.V. Also loses out of five hours of ad space every week. Imagines Bones, House, then 24. Sheesh, that would be good TV
-
If John Locke shows up and chases the pretty girls around with a knife
-
on ALIAS they mention they lost an Angent in a plane crash around Australia somewhere.
-
dreams of John Locke teaching the Cohens of The OC survival skills, (what no bagel slicer, my dream of the perfect schmear is ended)The Bluths buying out the Newport Group, and Keifer Sutherland stabbing Randy Jackson in the leg will never materialize.
-
is hands down the bezt show on FOX?
-
never heard of it and there's nothing on IMDB.
-
Imagine if Bones was preceded by Bernie Mac and followed by the cancelled Quintuplets - you would have "Bernie Mac" "Bones" "Quintuplets". And in syndication you could have a lineup that read "Mr. Ed" "Bones" "The Golden Girls".
-
"Frasier" "Bones" "Desperate Housewives" "Cheers"
-
They stop like an hour before ABC, CBS, and NBC...why? Do they consider themselves more like UPN and WB or something? I mean, they're one of the big networks now, right? I don't get it.
Oh, well. BRING BACK PROFIT! -
If you haven't read the book, do so. This should be a good series... but then again, it is on FOX... so it might be doomed. Fox loves to strangle new shows for no apparent reason.
-
That's gonna rock. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050520a.php
-
or maybe they'll be different ages on each episode? I don't get it.
-
I read that Arrested Development got a full order for next year, but it is only on the prime time schedule for the fall. Come January, it is gone. What's up with that?
-
It had a good run and I think it was one of the more complex (though seemingly simplistic) family sitcoms around. Now it's been moved to the Suicide Slot. Oh well...the oldest brother on that shows fucks the redhead from the 70's show so life can't be all that bad for the Malcolm cast.
-
God no. A sitcom? With Nicholas Brendon? Well, I hope Anthony Bourdain at least gets a huge kickback from what will undoubtedly be an utter piece of shit.
-
Could this have to do with FOX's slightly tweaked schedule? We know that they're running 24 uninterrupted from Jan-May this season. Next season they appear to be doing the same with House (and on that note, what a fan-fucking-tastic Monday night that'll be). Are they going to start doing the same thing in the fall? Could they start their fall shows a bit earlier, or have slightly shorter runs, so that they run uninterrupted as well? It'd suck to lose episodes of Arrested again next season, but if it does happen I can respect what FOX is doing schedule-wise. As an overall strategy I think it makes sense (if what I'm saying is actually right...I may be way off) and could potentially result in more quality programming overall.
-
House is running from Sept through May, it just switches timeslots from Tuesdays at 9 to Mondays at 8. Prison Break, the only new show that I think I might be interested in, is also only on the fall schedule. I don't know.... but Sept-Dec is not a long enough span for 22 or 24 new episodes, unlike Jan-May.
-
They have a pretty similar sense of humour, and both are thankfully laughtrack-less.
-
Why the fuck is there no fucking talkback for this show? I would have thought Herc would have been all over this show. I mean the show is way better than shitty show Wonder Fucking Falls and it's much wittier.
