Shonday is working well for ABC, Grey's been getting better ratings which in contrast to last year where it had Once Upon Wonderland as it's lead in.

Good, I wanted to like the show but the writing was awful. Season 4 would have probably been more of Elena being an unreasonable, unlikable bitch who should die in a fire but who the show apparently wants me to root for. They wasted all the good characters and instead made the bad obey more prominent, they should have used Pamela more instead of stupid Emma, Pamela and John Ross could have been an awesome couple but no, they had to screw up that relationship. At least I can pretend that Christopher is actually dead and the show can't pull something out of it's ass like he had a fireproof suit and only as a teeny, tiny burn mark over his left eyebrow that everyone pretends is a disfiguring injury.

NBC killed Revolution? That was the one where all the electricity power was lost, right?

I stopped 10 episodes into season 1, when they did that awful mid-season break thing that America always does. In my opinion it is death to shows that haven't quite found their audience yet, as many people don't know when they start re-airing again, or by the time they do begin airing again, those people have half-forgotten what happened previously and aren't willing to go binge-watch 10 eps.
Breaks in the middle of the season are only a problem if the show sucks, Glee had a long ass break in its first season and returned with significantly higher ratings. Other shows only have ten episodes for an entire season and it doesn't hurt them that the audience has to wait 9 months for the continuation.
NBC didn't kill revolution, Revolution killed itself by being boring and forgettable, they had 10 episodes to hook the audience, they didn't.

Holy shit, Gracepoint bombed with a 1.2 demo.

It's time to place Fox on suicide watch.

Good. Pointless show. I'm a Tennant fan but who wants to watch him play the same character and say the exact same lines except with a bad American accent, besides laughing at him of course.

The only redeeming parts of TNT's version of Dallas were Judith Light being batshit crazy and Josh Henderson really pulling off the scumbag part quite well as John Ross. The rest seemed kinda eh. My parents who watched the original series when it first aired loved revisiting the old characters and seeing the new but for me it was always just background noise. I figured the cancellation was coming soon enough after Larry Hagman's passing.

Second season was a hundred, million times better. It had an "ending" in that it wrapped up most of the storylines from the second season, but the show could've easily gone on for years if it was successful.
I honestly completely disagree with that. It had technically better writing, but it was a boring show with only unlikeable characters and no sense of progression. Second part of season one was really cheesy, but at least it had a bit more spirit.

It just did a 2.7, a bit higher than its series low. On the other hand, even with that number it is still one of the highest rated shows on ABC and it does way better than other shows in the same slot.

Long mid-season breaks definitely affect heavily serial shows like Revolution. Revolution's second season was also very much improved over it's first.

at this point my wife and I are just habit watching Grey's. I honestly couldn't tell you what any of the character motivations are. We're just watching doctors work, drink and have sex.

Need recommendations for an on-air comedy to watch. No laughtrack. I gather Veep, B99 and The Goldbergs are fine? Any more suggestions?

B99 and Goldbergs are great. Start with S1 on both. Black-ish has been similarly funny so far, esp. episode 2, so that's promising. I love The Middle and would heartily recommend catching up on that, too.

Will we be getting a list in the OP with all the thread title changes this time? Some of them were great last year but they were forgotten as the year went on.

I'm feeling generous and not banned.

A show that you've probably thought was left for dead is, in fact, coming back.

You don't mean...

From last year (ignore all the "changed thread status, open: 1 visible: 1" bits, it's a vBulletin thing, and I had to split it into multiple images to protect the anonymity of actual in-thread moderation stuff that happened last year like deleted posts or whatever):

It's Bunheads. ABC Family finally got their heads out of their asses and changed their minds.

If the answer isn't Happy Endings, I swear I will never buy you a beer/shot/w/e if we ever actually meet in real life :(




Please tell me it's Happy Endings.

i'm no hollywood big shot, but he didn't say it was a show that you want renewed; it's almost certainly some utter trash defying expectation and living on.
