Maybe talk to NotTheGuyYouKill and see if he was interested? He started the hype thread late last year. I don't think anyone else has expressed an interest.

- Trailer for WGN America’s ‘Manhattan’

John Benjamin Hickey, Daniel Stern, Olivia Williams, Ashley Zukerman and Rachel Brosnahan star in WGN America‘s 13-episode scripted series Manhattan, slated to premiere in July. Set during the clandestine mission to build the world’s first atomic bomb in Los Alamos, NM, Manhattan follows the brilliant but flawed scientists and their families. Here’s a sneak-peek at the teaser trailer that will air during Salem‘s season premiere on Sunday. Manhattan is from writer Sam Shaw and director Thomas Schlamme, Skydance TV, Tribune Studios and Lionsgate TV.

Weird trailer.

Was Season 1 any good?

I only watched the first episode but it was bad enough that I stopped right there when I almost always give a show 2 or 3 eps.

I'd watch Olivia Williams in anything.

What the hell is WGN America? *looks* It's an unaffiliated Chicago station? And they're producing original programming? What's the carriage situation for a station like that?

They operate like a Chicago-centric in affiliates broadcast network that reaches a fairly significant amount of homes. Not as many as USA/FX/TBS etc. They're great for Cubs games.

At this point, they're a defacto cable net. They picked up POI in syndication for a very healthy amount per ep.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I had never even heard of WGA till the rumblings about Salem being picked up.

Yep, back in the "old days" of cable TV, WGN, WTBS, and WWOR were primarily places to watch Cubs, Braves, and Mets games, respectively. WTBS is, of course, just TBS now. Dunno if WOR is still around, or not...

Gonna record Salem and check it out.

No Turn tonight?

Edit- looks like Turn is new. Just hadn't added it to the record queue yet.

Salem seems pretty cool I guess.

Was anyone planning on doing the OT?

Trailer for We tv's The Divide (originally in development at AMC) - Link

Seems like "The Peter Sarsgaard Storyline from Season 3 of The Killing: The Show". Could be good though, and I applaud We tv for doing something like this as their first series instead of, like, a drama version of The Real Housewives or Bridezillas or something.

 

[Linius]

Looks cool, looking forward to more pirates on my TV.

 

[WarrenMax007]

That looks good. But there are two plot points in this trailer straight from Black Sails.

Is there a Salem thread? I want to talk about Salem.

Nope. Why don't you make one?

 

[Decado]

- Crossbones trailer is up

Looks cleaner, cheaper and significantly more PG than Black Sails. Oddly enough, not really feeling Malchovich, either. Will give a it a try, but expect to drop it quickly.

Make an OT. Doesn't have to be fancy.

I'm out of town, but I'll be catching up with Salem soon.

They had me at Malkovich, but Richard Coyle's presence put this near the top of my list, now...

Holy shit that looks good.

Maybe NBC is learning something. First Spader makes the whole spy world thing look like his playing field, and now they've got Malkovich taking on pirates.

First episode was quite good and had that creepy factor. The preview they showed at the end looks like they're upping the creepiness, so that makes it quite promising.

All that does is remind me that "The Glades" got fucked.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Personally, I found Salem a bit overbearing. A little hard-boiled, with the creepiness mostly coming from really over the top in-your-face creepiness rather than sort of dynamic tension and release.

- Deadline: Premiere Dates Set For Netflix’s ‘The Killing’, A&E’s ‘Longmire’

Netflix has set August 1 for the premiere of the six-episode final installment of The Killing, and A&E has slotted Monday, June 2 (10 PM) for the third season premiere of Longmire. The Killing stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman will return for the final chapter of the series which was cancelled by AMC last year, then resurrected with a third-season order. It staged yet another comeback after being canceled by the network again in September. It was then picked up by Netflix for the final installment. Longmire, A&E’s No. 1 original drama series of all time in total viewers, will return for Season 3 with star Robert Taylor as Walt Longmire, along with Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Bailey Chase, Cassidy Freeman and Adam Bartley.

Hannibal series 2 when it debuts here on the 6th of May I believe.

 

[Whooter]

Was The Glades any good?

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'd be less bitter about its cancellation if it hadn't ended on a gigantic cliffhanger.

 

[maeh2k]

Was The Glades any good?

The first season was pretty good, but then it took a turn for the worse. By the end the show deserved to die.

 

[Shadow780]

I watched first episode of Bad Teacher, yeah it's baaaaad.

Ryan Hansen is in it as Dick, and there's a girl who's looks like Mean Girls Lindsay Lohan but in middle school.

I bailed out after the divorce part in the very beginning, like 30-60 seconds in i knew right away it going to be complete fucking shit.

 

[Vert boil]

Urg, I'd have thought that Lucky 7 would have been the most grotty story we'd see for a few years. Bravo Bad Teacher.

 

[TheOddOne]

Black Box is turrible.

Just in case some of you were super silly and didn't watch Dinner With Friends with Brett Gelman and Friends, it's up on the Adultswim site now.

- Premiere Date For Damon Lindelof’s HBO Series ‘The Leftovers’ Pushed By 2 Weeks

With Damon Lindelof‘s upcoming 10-episode HBO series The Leftovers still on hiatus, its premiere date has been pushed from June 15 to June 29. The high-concept drama, Lindelof’s follow-up series to Lost, shut down two weeks ago after wrapping Episode 6 for what HBO described at the time as “a short hiatus to prep our final episodes.”

 

[TheOddOne]

It's Lost all over again.
