BiBottomBoy Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Meanwhile Jersey Shore will run forever because it's not that expensive to just stick a camera in front of poorly dressed alcoholics. I think we should all get together and pitch Fox a show called "Cocks" where we'll just film the back room of The Cock in NYC and call it a "cutting edge reality program." Quote
Members BigK Posted May 29, 2011 Members Posted May 29, 2011 I have been surprised at how many first season shows are cut. They don't even give them a chance anymore. It reminds me of Broadway and the speed at which new shows fail. If not an instant success, then failure. There were many shows with great potential and with more work, they would have succeeded. Me too. I think it's because attention spans have become shorter probably because there is so much content out there. Plus the networks have no balls. Quote

Let us not loose sight of the fact that the only reason TV shows exist is to sell advertising...... Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 The upcoming fall season looks filled with awful shows. They are trying to be all retro and go with all cleavage all the time. There's the Charlies Angels' remake, a show about stewardesses getting laid in the early 1960s and a show about The Playboy Club. One exec told The New York Times that it's the Hendrix factor - i.e. after watching Mad Men, every television exec wanted a show set in the early sixties with a Christina Hendrix type character.

TotallyOz Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 LOL Great visual. I did think that this week's Game of Thrones ended great. So much suspense. Can't wait to see what happens to the little blond bastard and the queen cunt. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 The Queen will be around for a while because Lena Olin demanded a three year contract or she wouldn't do the show. Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 The Queen will be around for a while because Lena Olin demanded a three year contract or she wouldn't do the show. So far, they have really stuck to the books. The last episode of this season was fucking amazing. I am glad I gave this series a chance. It is turning out to be one of my favorites. Quote
Guest gcursor Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I'm not sure if I heard this from a comedian or not but I thought I'd share this. It's very easy to figure out which shows are going to become TV series. What they do is they show the programs to a bunch of chimps in diapers. If the chimps don't s**t themselves then the TV show goes on the air. Gcursor Me too. I think it's because attention spans have become shorter probably because there is so much content out there.

I give the Playboy Club three weeks. This is one of those shows that is so obvious to fail in this country. They cannot be true to the topic in bible-thumping America. Unless they accidentally hire some excellent writers that conjer up some intriguing subtexts that have nothing to do with Playboy bunnies, then who knows. I'm betting against that. I suspect this is some sort of payoff for a past debt to the programming VP or something like that. I bet the replacement is already in the can. The two other shows sound as equally deep. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 AMC has canceled The Killing after two seasons. The price you pay for dicking people around. Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted July 29, 2012 Members Posted July 29, 2012 AMC has canceled The Killing after two seasons. The price you pay for dicking people around. Good riddens! They pissed me off with that final Season 1 episode. I felt really fucked over and I wouldn't watch Season 2. Too bad, it started out to be an interesting show for the most part. TotallyOz 1 Quote
