Good lord. by kenny38606	Sep 17th, 2008 12:31:09 AM

writers of Species II and Evolution... by hauptman	Sep 17th, 2008 12:35:37 AM
Yeah, that sounds really fucking inspired.
I'm guessing this is Fox's attempts at a Pusing Daisies. by Shermdawg	Sep 17th, 2008 12:42:50 AM

I know, I know... crazy. But that'd be cool.
Will they be 3 police men? by V'Shael	Sep 17th, 2008 12:52:35 AM
Sounds very silly to me.
Sweet Fancy this takes the cake! by Aloy	Sep 17th, 2008 12:58:18 AM
Does this not sound like an outtake from a Hollywood sendup? Guys sitting around trying to come up with a pitch to once again milk the legal show angle to death and some washed up writer, who was reading his daughter a fairy tale the night before, goes oh yeah Snow White....I can just see the rush to frantically reread old fairy tales for "inspiration". Sigh..
Agreed by worthless	Sep 17th, 2008 01:10:58 AM
this sounds terrible... but if the dwarfs are real dwarfs I'll be watching every week.

i don't even really give a shit about Fox News, but that was quite clever
wow by luxodave556	Sep 17th, 2008 02:19:24 AM
What a shitty idea for a show.
Why does Fox even bother? by Volllllume3	Sep 17th, 2008 02:21:49 AM
They end up cancelling all their shows anyway. Terminator is next :(
THis was a punch into my brain by David Cloverfield	Sep 17th, 2008 02:22:20 AM
Like when they tell a logical paradox to Star Trek AI to break it. Does not compute. But you can bet your sweet ass I'll check this out, it's the most insane shit I ever heard to make a series out of.
great, but what about a sassy robot who fights crime? by newc0253	Sep 17th, 2008 03:16:03 AM
It's my reimagining of Rumplestiltskin. It will totally work, Fox, i promise.
Should just make a series out of "Fables" instead. by raw_bean	Sep 17th, 2008 04:22:11 AM
"Fables" would make a great series. Better than this daft idea.
Oh...that's...nice...I mean...CANCELED! by TroutMaskReplicant	Sep 17th, 2008 05:05:19 AM
It takes a lot of talent to make that kind of eccentric show work for more than one series. And by that time, it'd probably be canceled. Ally McBeal has a lot to answer for.
What in the holy hell. by Deathpool	Sep 17th, 2008 05:37:43 AM
I'd have said this broke my brain, but David Cloverfield beat me to it. This is borderline retarded. Raw, you're right, if you want something like this just make Fables. Its already there and it kicks ass.
Fox is clasping at straws... by Yeti	Sep 17th, 2008 05:54:41 AM
And the results ain't gonna be pretty.
Deathpool by David Cloverfield	Sep 17th, 2008 06:17:36 AM
I've let it sink in and see it as the best thing ever. I think they came up with a way to brainwash people with a single paragraph. I'm awaiting Snow White: The Sexy Single Female Lawyer Show with the same glee a cultist waits for the Apocalypse.
And I want midgits! by David Cloverfield	Sep 17th, 2008 06:17:56 AM

Fables by Dazzler69	Sep 17th, 2008 07:10:22 AM
I heard about the adult comic with Snow White in there. A series should be made out of that instead.
Shermdawg by palewook	Sep 17th, 2008 07:21:45 AM
thought the same thing
If they're going to do fairy tales by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Sep 17th, 2008 07:30:34 AM
I would love to see them do that Vertigo Comic, I only read a couple issues, about the fairy tale characters living in modern times after being banished by The Enemy. What was it? Help please.
raw_bean, I should have read the posts by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Sep 17th, 2008 07:32:35 AM
first. Fables, that was it. Yeah, that would be nice.
Reverting to form by Diagnostic	Sep 17th, 2008 07:41:23 AM
They are also gonna bring back, Werefolf, 21 Jumpstreet, West 57th, and Women in prison.
Beans Baxter owns by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Sep 17th, 2008 07:43:41 AM
Hey, it wasn't all bad. At least we had Kurtwod Smith.
Who ever thought of this should be shot... by RobotDevil007	Sep 17th, 2008 09:28:23 AM
really.
Fables anyone? by fiester	Sep 17th, 2008 09:37:36 AM
Someone call a lawyer
Fables! by egg86	Sep 17th, 2008 10:22:42 AM
Seriously, can't they just make a fables series instead of this? It sounds like it's trying too hard to be quirky.
Here's what will happen by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Sep 17th, 2008 10:41:57 AM
Someone at Fox watching this blog will go Fables, what's that? They will google it and say oh wow. Then, they'll drop this turd that is Ally McBeal revisited, and call DC/Vertigo, and try to get the ball rolling. At which point DC will say hell no, this has to be on FX, Showtime, or HBO. As FX is part of Fox they'll say okay, and with fingers crossed we can have Fables on the small screen next year.
Wait... by DocPazuzu	Sep 17th, 2008 10:42:22 AM
...they fuck Firefly over and greenlight this shit?
worst idea for a show ever by ArcadianDS	Sep 17th, 2008 11:18:11 AM
Id rather watch the insides of my eyelids.
Heroes' season premiere can't come soon enough.. by Pennsy	Sep 17th, 2008 11:19:45 AM
Just sayin'...looks like only 7 villains, not 12 as was originally advertised. See if you're as jazzed about what's to come as USA Today pretty much laid the groundwork for the Villains arc: http://tinyurl.com/6f9jlb
CSI: Never-Never Land... by Furzee	Sep 17th, 2008 11:28:08 AM
This weeks ep features a grown up Peter investigating the molestation and serial murder of several rambunctious local youths....green felt and pixie dust found on the scene point oddly to our hero. Saturday at 7!!!!!!!!!!1

you couldn't be more right!
The term "quirky" make me hate it immediately by drewlicious	Sep 17th, 2008 11:55:06 AM
I hate gimmicks because they rarely last and easily bore in the long run. But then agai I was completely wrong about "Pushing Daisies." I can't get enough of that show.
Heroes premiere... by Crow3711	Sep 17th, 2008 11:55:56 AM
can't come soon enough so I can hate-watch the shit out of it. Heroes is such a dim-witted show it makes me laugh. I love watching it to see what they're gonna fuck up next. Even the fist season everyone jerks off to was so simplistic and broad literally any person on the planet could relate. It makes for high ratings, sure, and also bland episodes that people think are good because they've never watched Lost.
Didn't they do this already by Purgatori	Sep 17th, 2008 01:09:49 PM
With Aly McBeal? Whorey (Lucy Liu), Druggie (Robert Downey Jr.), and Shorty (Peter McNicol)? This will die quickly ala The Charmings (remember that show with Paul Winfield as the mirror?) Yeah...
TV Without Pity's Tubey Awards dumped on Heroes a lot... by Pennsy	Sep 17th, 2008 02:07:45 PM
Least Improved Show, Most Unwelcome Character, Character Most In Need of Being Killed Off (both Maya) and 3 TWoP staff picks; Least Villainous Villain (Adam Monroe); Least Favorite Actress (Dania Ramirez), Best "HoYay Moment" (Sylar/Mohinder) . The most damning one of all is, IMO, LVV. Adam Monroe? The Big Bad of season 2? Hardly.
And people are still bitching about 2 episodes of Fringe by Shut the Fuck up Donny	Sep 17th, 2008 02:49:06 PM
when THIS sort of shit is also being developed for television? I admit, both are from Fox, but be thankful they're still willing to give shows like Fringe a marginal fucking chance.
"ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?" by Pennsy	Sep 17th, 2008 02:52:51 PM
Ralph Garman, on today's Kevin and Bean show on KROQ radio in LA. Sums up my feeling exactly about this POS.
Sabatage by theremustbeCHAOS	Sep 17th, 2008 05:43:08 PM
Sounds like someone at ABC decided to see just what kind of shit they could get Fox to put money into. You know, as a goof.
This sounds so ridiculous... by Darkman	Sep 17th, 2008 06:17:10 PM
...that I have to watch. Between this and "Eva Adams", Fox is really going the extra mile.
I would watch it... by PirateEmery	Sep 17th, 2008 08:01:27 PM
...but what kind of idiot comes up with this shit? Who THINKS to do this? Hey... maybe I can base a law dramedy on a fairy tale... $5 says it doesn't make it past three episodes before being canceled.
by HB_Dad	Sep 17th, 2008 08:10:22 PM
Jesus, I first read this and thought they were going to make another attempt at doing something along the lines of the cancelled sit-com "the Charmings". This time, it would have more of an Ally McBeal twist. What... maybe they are...
3 episode run by Charlie_Allnut	Sep 17th, 2008 08:51:05 PM
then doomed to stupid idea hell
"from the writers of Species 2 & Evolution"... by Amy Chasing	Sep 17th, 2008 09:45:38 PM
Means this Snow White show will be hours of your life you won't get back. And not in a good way.
This sounds better than "Sydney White". by Anna Valerious	Sep 18th, 2008 05:06:19 AM
Honestly.
OHMYGAWD by MonkeyManReturns	Sep 18th, 2008 06:51:31 AM
Someone take a gun...place it in my mouth...and shoot me. Cos after this shit, life really isn't worth living.
crow3711. you have numb nuts. by AdrianVeidt	Sep 18th, 2008 11:54:52 AM
I'm going to quote you right now in reference to your feelings towards Heroes, Season 1: "so simplistic and broad literally any person on the planet could relate. It makes for high ratings, sure, and also bland episodes that people think are good because they've never watched Lost." I am one of those viewers who thinks that Lost is god's gift to television, and those with open and educated minds. I also think that Heroes captured the quintessence of what it means to be a superhero. The first season of Heroes was fantastic BECAUSE everyone could relate. That's the beauty of a superhero! People want to BE them because they want to escape normality. And with the first season you had normal people becoming more than human. This is something that SO many viewers find intriguing because they want it for themselves. It is NOT as intellectually stimulating or engaging as Lost, but it is still a great show. Yes, the second season was a huge disappointment, but I have so much faith that Kring can learn from the mistakes and deliver a kick ass third season. I'll agree they need to get away from the "people gaining powers" thing - it's been milked and it hooked people. But now it's time to get serious - in a way season 2 just quite couldn't because it was running on the compliments to season 1.
Most people don't know this.... by Andre the Frog	Sep 18th, 2008 11:10:14 PM
But "Moonlighting" was based on "Little Red Riding Hood".
I believe the correct phrase is... by Rick Flemming	Sep 19th, 2008 11:14:07 AM
