CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP...I hate all of you who didn't watch this. DAMN it!!!!!! This one hurts...not Terriers bad, more like Lights Out bad.

EDIT:I watched last weeks episode last night with a lot of sadness. I have decided that I will no longer watch the 'big 3' network shows until at least season 2. I disagree w/Doc that this story has nowhere to go. I think it's a terrific show with all kinds of potential, great acting and, as I have gone on about, some true moments of sincere emotion. I am very bitter about losing this one. Fx needs to snap this writer up. His other show, Lone Star, was given one episode...one episode by fox and that had tremendous upside too. My sister is the biggest barometer of why this show failed...'oooooh I don't get it, it's all back and forth'. I love my sister, but she has **** taste in entertainment. And she probably represents the majority. From what I have read the finale' should provide some closure...but not total. I hate you America.

Oh, AND WHITNEY WAS RENEWED!!!!!!!!!! ****ADOODLE!!!!!!

With the departure of these 2 mainstays the future is apparently not looking bright. I love Attack...it's daily viewing for me. I'm not sure too many people here even care but I thought I would pop it up just in case. Not worth starting a new thread about but still newsworthy.

I used to watch it every day till DirecTV dropped G4. With those two leaving it makes you think that something internal might be going on.

Yeah, it was one of the only good things when I moved and had to switch to cable(getting g4 back). I dunno, maybe losing Directv has affected them because, at least in Sessler's case, contract issues are suspected. Lots of speculation about the network going buh0bye in those articles. I hope that doesn't happen because they do have some nice nerd programming.
 
TV: That “666 Park Avenue” Show We’ve Been Telling You About Is Going To Series | | Bloody DisgustingBloody Disgusting

ABC’s supernatural-tinged drama pilot, “666 Park Avenue”, just got picked up for a full season. Will this be the new “American Horror Story”? Probably not, but it will certainly exist for an as yet unspecified period of time. Per Deadline, “It looks like ABC is done with its sister studio and moving to picking up pilots from outside suppliers. The network just picked up Warner Bros. TV’s spooky drama “666 Park Ave”.”

The thriller, based on the Gabriella Pierce book series of the same name, “centers on a young couple (Rachael Taylor and Dave Annable) that accepts an offer to manage one of the most historic apartment buildings in New York City. They unwittingly begin to experience supernatural occurrences, which complicate and endanger the lives of everyone in the building.”

The show stars Terry O’Quinn (“Lost”), Vanessa Williams (“Desperate Housewives”), Rachael Taylor (“Charlie’s Angels”, “Grey’s Anatomy”) and Dave Annable – (“Brothers And Sisters”). The pilot was written by “Fringe” scribe David Wilcox.

NBC Banishes 'Community' To Fridays, Adds a Pirate Show | CraveOnline

Wow...a pirate show. I think that was cancelled almost immediately after this press release. And having Community/WHITNEY lead into Grimm...first off, way to shed audience. All three of those shows have to have about as diverse(from each other) audiences as could be. Community was fine where it was. Whitney should be cancelled, stop trying to force that dog crap on people. And, way to potentially kill the one show you have that keeps people watching(Grimm). NBC is about as clueless as their ratings indicate. They should maintain their firm lock on last place. Attaboy!
 
It's Official: NBC Announces Pirate Series From Neil Cross, Parkes/MacDonald And Reliance - Deadline.com

UPDATE, 1:15 PM: NBC said production will begin in the fall on Crossbones, which features “an unexpected moral center where one can’t be sure whether the pirates or the British crown are the villains,” the network says. It will center on Tom Lowe, an undercover assassin who is sent to the pirates’ haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe gets, the more he can’t help but admire the political ideals of of the pirate, whose thirst for knowledge knows no bounds and no law. Blackbeard is a man with many villainous rivals and one great weakness — a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny. Todd Gold is executive producing with Cross, Parkes and MacDonald and Universal Television is among the production companies.

PREVIOUS, 9:35 AM: As we predicted last week, NBC today announced a 10-episode pirate drama series written by Luther creator Neil Cross and produced by feature producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, who have a first-look deal with the network. The project, titled Crossbones, hails from Georgeville Television, an independent TV studio formed recently by producer and former Heyday Films executive Marc Rosen (Harry Potter), and Motion Picture Capital, the finance arm of Reliance Entertainment. The series is based on the book The Republic Of Pirates by Colin Woodard. Set during the 10-year “Golden Age of Piracy” from 1715 to 1725, it centers on legendary English pirate Blackbeard, following him and some of the world’s most notorious pirates as they forge their own rogue nation, called New Providence, which became the first democracy in the Americas.

Look...normally I am all over this. But let's be realistic. With costs, this is going to have to be wildly successful to stay on. It already sounds too smart. Created by the guy who made Luther and sounding like it is going to have morally ambiguous characters(America: "I don't understand what's going on...") this just isn't a show that has a chance. R.I.P.

Either way too expensive to survive, or they cut sets, writing and it fails that way as well. Doesn't seem like this has a chance in hell.
