Soon to be canceled after 3 episodes... by RokurGepta	Aug 24th, 2007 12:52:25 AM
fuck fox
I have a feelin K-ville is gonna be sappy as hell. by eggbeater	Aug 24th, 2007 12:57:11 AM
I can just see cheesy montages with shitty music playin in the background. I hope I'm wrong. Prison Break is a good lead-in for this show so it has a chance. BTW...Prison Break is gonna fuckin rock this season. They got Bunny Colvin from the Wire. And Bellick in a diaper. I'm all for it.
SAW THIS SHOW A COUPLE MONTHS AGO by Leafy McPlantsalot	Aug 24th, 2007 12:57:38 AM
so bad it hurts. No cliche unused. So so so so so incredibly bad.
Anthony Anderson (Transformers)? by JustSomeguy1	Aug 24th, 2007 02:01:32 AM
Why not Anthony Anderson (The Shield)?
Want me to lick your balls, daddy? by Bob of the Shire	Aug 24th, 2007 02:05:07 AM

If only you could win money by betting on shows that are guaranteed to be canceled.....

It must come in handy to be the great grandson of the founder of Warner Brothers.
booring and unbelievable by RokurGepta	Aug 24th, 2007 03:38:59 AM
i was boored so I watched it... and damn, is that really their idea of a pilot, it was predictable, booring, and the idea of a criminal becoming a cop is just fucking retarded, like all computer records in the entire state are just gone.. right. fucking stupid. cancel it now please
New Orleans is sinking & I don't wanna swim. by Yeti	Aug 24th, 2007 03:44:17 AM
This will dissapear after the World Series. While New Orleans & the Katrina aftermath are being addressed in various forms of media as a plot points for charecters motives (much like 9/11)it's still too raw an issue for most to have a whole series about it.
it will be canceled by palewook	Aug 24th, 2007 06:40:20 AM
its on fox.
Am I the only one slightly concerned... by Guerilla_Films	Aug 24th, 2007 06:51:22 AM
this is coming on FOX. FOX News was a huge proponent of the idea that Katrina was a freak accident, and our president and FEMA did all possible to help the situation. I"m highly skeptical of helping advertisers and that network make money off of a tragedy that wouldn't have been so severe if that network didn't serve as anything more than a stenographer to power for this administration.

Only available in the US !!! by serpico04	Aug 24th, 2007 09:50:58 AM
Fucking conceited Americans . Think the world begins and ends with them. Jokes on them. I can watch reruns of Beachcombers whenever I want only in Canada!!

I'm from New Orleans, and dislike Anthony Anderson. This will be interesting.

Two things that do not bode well by Big Jim	Aug 24th, 2007 11:11:38 AM
1."...Fox drama..." - Fox dramas seem to be cancelled quickly if they don't put up AI numbers. This better be huge out of the gate or will be gone by Thanksgiving (or worse, the Canadian Thanksgiving). 2. "...from writer-producer Jonathan Lisco (“The District,” “Jack & Bobby”..." - Did either of those shows make it through a full season?
IT'S CANCELLED!!! by Stuntcock Mike	Aug 24th, 2007 11:34:55 AM
Whoops, that's Anchorwoman.

No.
Is the show good? by Charlie Murphy	Aug 24th, 2007 12:19:05 PM
it's only available to folks in the US right now. it'll be on bittorrents soon enough, i just want to know if it's worth my valuable time. i like the cast, but i said it a few months ago, that i think this show is going to be a shameless tug on the ol' heartstrings. FOX is notorious for cashing in on human emotions, and the Katrina thing is only natural. Does the pilot feature any montages of the two cops driving around New Orleans looking at homeless people and abandoned houses? because when i first heard about this show, i was like "there's going to be a montage showing how awful life there is now, and probably a scene at the end of the show, likely in a bar, involving the two cops discussing how much the city has changed and how tough living there is, and how they need to make a difference." how right am i?
Too Soon!!!!!!! by Lurker Johnson	Aug 24th, 2007 01:09:32 PM
I can't believe it took this long for one of you to point this out. You are all slackers.
... the guy who played Ethan on Lost... by jimmy rabbitte	Aug 24th, 2007 01:36:48 PM
...is trying to squeeze out all the mileage he can get playing the incalculable, creepy bad guy... the pilot has decent production values and some good acting (Anthony Anderson in particular); but the story was about as intricate as an episode of The A-Team.
The first 17 mins. of Prison Break kicked ass! by glodene	Aug 24th, 2007 01:58:46 PM
K-Ville has potential if the producers get better writers to gritty the mutha-fucka up a bit, if not, it's going to wind-up being just another pedestrian buddycop show.
Next new FOX Drama by Gessner	Aug 24th, 2007 02:07:28 PM
It will be called Findlay,OH. It will star that hot chick from Standoff, as a stripper mom who becomes a cop to stop looters from destroying the feed store after heavy rain and floodwater ravage the town. It only took two years after Katrina, for FOX to get K-ville going, so come on Fox lets get current!!!!
Nope by _Maltheus_	Aug 24th, 2007 02:13:22 PM
I want to watch a new cop show in the same way that I want to catch a scorching case of herpes. Do Hollywood writers do this crap merely to get out of traffic tickets?
holy shit, a BEACHCOMBERS reference by Kurzinski Valentine	Aug 24th, 2007 02:15:04 PM
Littlest Hobo, anyone?
IT's CANCELLED by Leafy McPlantsalot	Aug 24th, 2007 02:16:18 PM
It had the lowest ratings for the first 17 minutes of a show shown early on the internet ever. They will replace it with a new reality show, Stuff That Goes Boom
Katrina-ville.. by skimn	Aug 24th, 2007 02:38:02 PM
..much tougher sounding than Wilma-ville. Isn't New Amsterdam the show thats being tossed out before it airs? Despite seeming non stop promos that were running on Fox.
no by LarryTheCableGuy	Aug 24th, 2007 02:55:39 PM

At Least Prison Break by dancinggopher01	Aug 24th, 2007 03:12:50 PM
Looks fucking awesome.
Tv studio meeting by skimn	Aug 24th, 2007 03:16:45 PM
People love drama. Drama means conflict. Conflict is good versus bad. Who fights evil everyday more than the police. Except doctors who battle those evil, evil diseases. So its cops then..now whats the hook we hang it on? Let's make it timely, topical...Hey, I saw this Spike Lee movie the other day that was really good...
Littlest Hobo was ok by Big Jim	Aug 24th, 2007 03:46:05 PM
but Hammy Hamster ruled!
Anthony Anderson should never be allowed... by Osmosis Jones	Aug 24th, 2007 04:01:15 PM
....to deliver a "comedic" performance ever again.
Does Anthony Anderson and his partner by Big Jim	Aug 24th, 2007 04:03:36 PM
talk about the best way to wipe one's ass? Or is that highbrow humour reserved only for Steven Seagal films?
Native thinks it was OK by jayhest	Aug 24th, 2007 04:04:06 PM
I was born and raised in New Orleans and I didn't think that the show was that bad... Not Great mind you, but better than most other attempts by fox lately. My biggest beef with most NO films and shows is the accents. We're not fucking cajun here in New Orleans. Also one other plus for K-Ville is that there was not a single mention of Mardi Gras. And that my friends fucking rocks. I agree that they do need some work with scripting but the show's atmosphere and attitude is dead on with how things are down here. Tugging at heartstrings possibly but in the real K-Ville we need it.

Episode II of K-Ville..Ray Nagin's Stolen School Buses! by uss cygnus	Aug 24th, 2007 04:10:03 PM
Oh, wait...they were left in the city to drown along with the rest of the people after George Bush blew up the levees, right Spike?
uss cygnus is an illiterate deaf-mute by s00p3rm4n	Aug 24th, 2007 04:35:54 PM
1) You obviously didn't see "When the Levees Broke." Spike lets one former 9th ward resident say they thought they heard a bomb go off. Then he puts two or three scientists and researchers immediately afterward to explain that a bomb did not go off, but it could've sounded similar when the floodwalls collapsed. You stupid trollbag. 2) http://www.snopes.com/katrina/ photos/buses.asp as far as the school bus picture goes. 3) If you really want to understand Katrina, and the fact that the Army Corps of Engineers has admitted responsibility for the lion's share of the flooding after the storm, you should actually pick up a book, or any legitimate news source or paper. You know, the things with words.
I was honestly surprised by Volstaff	Aug 24th, 2007 06:18:28 PM
No not a great show, but good work by the two leads. Kinda hokey that the new straight laced partner is "an ex bad guy", but Some of the atmosphere felt pretty authentic. And I didn't know Anthony Anderson could actually act. If this wer 10-15 years ago, I'd say this was a solid looking show. but nowadays, at least for me, I'm not the couch potato I used to be, plus there are so many damn shows on now all trying to wave the shiny in front of people's faces. I have a feeling this one'll get lost somewhere between better scripted shows and shiny reality crap like American Idol and whatnot. Right now I'm more excited that Real Time is back on starting tonight.
It's Called SARCASM. Get a grip. by uss cygnus	Aug 24th, 2007 06:22:54 PM
Of COURSE there were no bombs. The only thing more stupid than Ray Nagin is a city who would RE-ELECT that moron to another term as their mayor. Kinda like re-electing Nero after Rome Burned. Let's all get a grip, people.
And, btw..."The Siege Of Firebase Gloria" .... by uss cygnus	Aug 24th, 2007 06:24:51 PM
Was Wings Hauser's magnum opus. I loves me some R. Lee Ermey.
Forget K-ville! I'm gonna watch S-ville! by MrMysteryGuest	Aug 24th, 2007 07:12:24 PM
Clark Kent rulez, beeyotches!
Wings Hauser RULES! The Hoff's soap brother. by EvilWizardGlick	Aug 24th, 2007 07:20:44 PM
Fuck you Wings haters. Wings was the Hoffs brother on Young and the Restless. One day he went sailing and never returned. Firebase Gloria is one of the best Nam films ever made. Wings humped that war load almost as well as Tom Berringer did. Plus he fucking wrote the classic Beastmaster 2! Eat that bitches!
No, not really. And while we're at it, screw Nawlins. by Cotton McKnight	Aug 24th, 2007 08:03:33 PM
They lost any of my sympathy the minute those morons re-elected Ray Nagin. To quote the movie Airplane, "they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say let 'em crash".
Nah, K-Ville can wait its turn. by Pennsy	Aug 24th, 2007 10:01:48 PM
I want a Heroes teaser promo a month earlier with Kristen Bell in it NOW, dambit!
Fox sucks. by i kick tits	Aug 25th, 2007 12:14:27 AM
Stupid like a Fox.
"NO CHARLIE!" (also, canadian viewers) by Charlie Murphy	Aug 25th, 2007 10:17:16 AM
two minutes in, and i'm laughing. this show already sucks. AOL has the show up, and they don't seem to give a fuck who watches it, as i'm canadian. and as a sidenote, anthony anderson has a very fat face, but in the preview when he's wearing a leather coat, he looks less fat. just struck me as weird.
awful show. truly awful. by Charlie Murphy	Aug 25th, 2007 11:02:06 AM
there are at least six "jesus christ" moments in that pilot that will make you wonder if everyone involved with the production is a total retard. there are a few "chase scenes" where the two cops just fire their guns wildly in the middle of the street. the case they're working is ridiculous... i'd go into more details but no one's reading this talkback anyway. just AVOID AT ALL COSTS. k-ville's a stinker.
Anthony Anderson needs a new agent by palimpsest	Aug 25th, 2007 01:22:08 PM
He can be really good in stuff (awesome in THE SHIELD), but all too often plays "shrieking fat comic sidekick" in some woeful productions. Give the man an agent, and get him some quality work.
DIPSHIT PRIDE CAN NOT BE DENIED by uss cygnus	Aug 25th, 2007 05:26:33 PM
Yes, I am a dipshit. I am a dipshit that didn't vote for Ray Nagin, and has enough common sense to not to live in a city that sits BELOW SEA LEVEL, that fills up like a bathtub when a major hurricane hits it. Dipshits of the world, unite!
Not Too Bad by shoe1985	Aug 25th, 2007 09:57:29 PM
I am not a big Anthony Anderson fan, but he did pretty well in the pilot. I was into the pilot, but will wait and see where they take the show before I commit to it.
cancelled! by Mr_X	Aug 25th, 2007 10:12:42 PM
fuck fox. only show i watch from them is house. too bad, they had some great shows, cancelled them and why the hell would you even want to start watching something, when its going to be cancelled the next week. you reap what you sow. prision break is a bunch of ass. season1 great, season2, well you lost me, how can they go up against the fricking president!. complete balls.
On location by stargirl	Aug 26th, 2007 10:38:19 AM
I like that they actually filmed the thing here in town. Nevermind that means I've had nowhere to park by my apartment for the last three days, at least it's not all stock footage.
