So Harper's Island is just a fictional Survivor? by Flim Springfield	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:11:53 PM
That sounds dull.
Reaper? by MCPot	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:12:26 PM
LOVE ... LOVE this show! How many episodes will there be? 2? Strange late season start IMO.
Is XIII based on the video game? by Lost4Words	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:15:47 PM
All cartoony and pixily and stuff...
MARCH 13TH!?! by nalapou	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:23:22 PM
FUCK YOU CW. This better still be a full season fuckers.
March 17th i mean... WORSE by nalapou	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:24:46 PM

So Reaper gets 13 eps and follows 90210 ........ by Aloy	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:44:11 PM
Not too sure that "classy" crowd can dig Reaper. Whatever, it deserves a great slot and more eps....please.
No REAPER until St. Patrick's Day?! by SpyGuy	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:50:14 PM
Any bets on how low the ratings will be since everyone over the age of 13 will be out drinking (legally or not) that night? I swear, there are some serious dumbasses in the CW programming division.
at least Capt. Tightpants is back by oisin5199	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:55:48 PM
I hope Castle doesn't suck.
Terminator moved to Fridays!? by MrGonev5	Dec 3rd, 2008 05:38:55 PM
Way to kill a great show Fox. Way to go...assholes.
Reaper is probably history.. by MrGonev5	Dec 3rd, 2008 05:41:53 PM
I love Reaper, but sadly, this probably means we get this season and then thats it. Damn...
Heroes stays put... by Pennsy	Dec 3rd, 2008 06:24:26 PM
Do the powers that are have a 'kick me' sign on all their backs or what? Name a Heroes-related message board, and there's cain-raising over Elle's demise and folks swearing up and down they're done with the show. A whole lotta people have Kristen Bell's back on this. I think most understand that her movie career is what she needs to build on. It's the WAY Elle was written out of the show that is pissing the fuck out of the remaining fans Heroes has left. Mike Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly confirms she's done with the show and he's pretty reliable with gossip and spoiler stuff.
God, These Shows Sound Awful by RaRoMo	Dec 3rd, 2008 06:34:04 PM
10 years ago, these show descriptions would be hailed as parodies of how awful broadcast TV can be. Except they really exist! The networks are actually going to show them! (And they don't realize they suck!) If we're going to talk about new shows, how about Elvis Costello's talk show on Sundance. That's actually good, and it's not about cops falling in love with each other.
Lost4Words by The Funketeer	Dec 3rd, 2008 07:13:16 PM
I think you mean, is XIII based on the comic book? Cuz that's what the video game was based on.
XIII sounds a lot like "Bourne Identity" by Thoreau	Dec 3rd, 2008 07:16:15 PM
But then again so do a lot of things these days...
Wow I thought Reaper was cancelled by The Ref	Dec 3rd, 2008 07:42:19 PM
Thank you Jeebus.
XIII by Don Lockwood	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:08:41 PM
the tv show and the comic/video game are unrelated. the video game is based on the comic, but only like the first 15 issues or something. The game ended on a cliffhanger and didn't do too well, so don't expect a sequel.
sigh Harold Perrineau... by godric	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:31:21 PM
I was secretly hoping you'd get a second (3rd?) shot at having Michael's story properly told on Lost...
Pennsy, did anyone of those boards have a theory as to by Big Jim	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:42:45 PM
why she didn't react the same way this time as she did the first time? Or, to put it another way, why he was able to do it this time while last time he got baked?
"Nathan Fillion, Desperate Housewives" by ShiftyEyedDog2	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:10:14 PM
THAT's the shitty show they choose to identify him? Ratings and longevity be damned, the fact is he is best known for Firefly/Serenity, hands down.
I don't have a friggin' clue, Big Jim...none. by Pennsy	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:11:25 PM
Except that the writers just did a Roberto Duran and said 'no mas', let's end it now.
Nathan Fillion of Desperate Houswives and that pie movie by Stormwatcher	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:30:35 PM
Yup! Lets gloss over every other awesome thing he's done like Firefly and Buffy. The fact that he is freaking awesome.
So is Reaper season 1 worth buying? by SoylentMean	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:50:57 PM
Ray Wise is fuckin' awesome. I was really surprised to see him in the pilot of Burn Notice (a show I now love thanks to Target selling season 1 for a pittance of $15). Besides, the premise of Reaper is cool.
No Reaper until MARCH? by catlettuce4	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:52:50 PM
I will never understand the stupid american scheduling system with all the breaks and splits. here in the UK you start a show, you show it every week (occasionally missing a week for some sport or something) until you run out of episodes, then you do the same thing next year.
What about fucking Prison Break? by BackRiverCatfish	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:16:34 PM
I'm probably only one of a hundred people still watching but I want to see it wrapped up this season! Also, anything with Ian McShane is worth watching.
oh yeah, Ashton Kutcher sucks cock by choice! by BackRiverCatfish	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:18:18 PM

Cupid debuts after Valentine's Day? by Cash907	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:37:55 PM
Wow... sure looks like the network has tons of faith in that series. Jesus Rob, just jump ship already and go finish the outline for the Veronica Mars movie. Word is Kristen Bell isn't doing anything at the moment, but pretty girls don't stay disengaged for long so strike while the iron is hot dammit!
Big Jim by Toonol	Dec 3rd, 2008 11:01:52 PM
I think it was simply that this time, her father was dead, she lost her job, and the man she loved was killing her. She just gave up. Pennsy is a little heartbroken himself, so I think he's overstating fandom's grief at Elle's departure. She was only ever a minor character.
Terminator by tomdolan04	Dec 4th, 2008 01:45:50 AM
Don't move it to kill it - slowly it's becoming a quite a quirky unique little show, with some great knowing clever lines and some thought-provoking IDEAS (not just pretty explosions which tends to be par for the course for most sci-fi). It also has a wicked line in black humour and I'd be sad to see it go. That said with Daisies gone, what the hell does my opinion count. Again networks may as well say unless the show you become interested in becomes a mainstream super hit, which in turn will dumb down the writing, don't bother becoming attached to it as we'll axe it without any kinda closure so...just don't watch anything.
Poor Nathan Fillion. by Holeman	Dec 4th, 2008 03:23:09 AM
I don't see this new show of his catching on. But, that's okay, it frees him up to work with Whedon again when FOX kills his new show and he grows a brain and decides never to work for that fucking network again.
No-one else at least intrigued by "Kings"? by Cameron1	Dec 4th, 2008 05:59:07 AM
Sounds like it might be something special what with McShane, Baker and the always awesome Eamonn Walker. The idea while not original is still quite a gamble for network TV but it's got me quite excited.
Hwood Reporter: Cupid episode order reduced to 9. by Pennsy	Dec 4th, 2008 08:11:32 AM
Not the usual 13: http://www.thrfeed.com/2008/12 /abc-reduces-cup.html
Hell's Kitchen IS returning? by Munkstomper	Dec 4th, 2008 08:33:03 AM
I thought there was going to be a delay because of some infidelity..oh, I mean..."scheduling conflict"....?
How about a game show where arrows are fired at Kutcher? by Stuntcock Mike	Dec 4th, 2008 10:42:57 AM
Flaming, poisoned arrows.
Looks like Terminator is toast by indyjonez100	Dec 4th, 2008 11:24:43 AM
A move to Fridays is a sure fire death kill for a series.
March 17th for Reaper??? by _Maltheus_	Dec 4th, 2008 12:47:25 PM
That's insane, I really like that show. The CW is worse than the sum of it's parts (WB and UPN).
And when you have to use the '3D episode' gimmick... by Pennsy	Dec 4th, 2008 03:18:19 PM
You know Chuck has run out of ideas and it's time to pack it in.
Cupid by ms_gwyn	Dec 4th, 2008 04:12:12 PM
ABC is so damn stupid, people loved this show back in 1998....but they canceled it anyway. Now they are going to bring it back? If they use the same scripts...I will protest on principle
FOX Saturday Night by Jonas Grumpy	Dec 4th, 2008 07:05:04 PM
When was the last time the primetime schedule for Fox's Saturday night lineup was different? Or were "Cops" and "AMW" the first shows on that night? Good to see that some things in life never change.
