All Things: TELEVISON

TooCool said:
Oh yeah, forgot about Cougar Town... and I love that show too! Totally underrated and I think people aren't watching it because of the title. Silly people judging a book by its cover. Since I don't have cable, I pray that Hulu will upload it.

Yeah, that show is hilarious and the name is so awful I just call it the Courtney Cox show. I remember watching the very first episode and it was so awful (because it was living up to its title) I did not give it my customary new-show second viewing. After hearing about how it had changed styles and was incredibly funny, I tried it again around turkey time and was glad I did. If ABC had not cancelled it, it would be the funniest show on ABC. Same guy who made Scrubs, people.

Anybody who thought Revolution or Last Resort would last was kidding themselves.

Well, that pretty much sinks Last Resort.

Yes, people are paid a lot more than you to select Animal Practice, Made In Jersey, Mob Doctor, and Last Resort to be on television. If they were really smart, they would make an hour long drama set at a sperm donation clinic.

Yes, that happened.

was just about to post this. They are teaming up with Esquire...wait???? ESQUIRE???? That mag was out of date when I was young. How is that even alive still when Newsweek is ending print copies???? Great idea. A bunch of shows about high end sophisticated stuff in this economy. Do they want lower ratings? Jayzus. Hey SpikeTV...you want to appeal to guys in dorms and mancaves, the opportunity to pick up a brandname show is sitting right there for the taking. Could finally make your little network semi relevant. It couldn't hurt. And...it's an hour of new programming 4 days a week. Once again...couldn't hurt.
 
TV Ratings: NBC wins Friday, thanks in part to decent Mockingbird Lane numbers

so NBC has a pickle...the ratings were good enough to make it a question mark. Heard an interview with the husky kid from Stand by Me and he said there was a bit of a conflict behind the scenes, Fuller wanted whimsy and Singer wanted dark horror. Haven't watched it but from what I have heard that's the problem with the pilot...muddled direction. Anybody watch it? It's on my dvr and today is catch-up day...if you watched it, what did you think? Would you come back?

Dunno...it has held pretty well and word of mouth is fairly positive. I think it gets a second season at the very least. At what point do you admit you might be wrong? Does it have to get to season 3?

No... but it has to finish it's 2nd season.
 
Just watched Mockingbird Lane. Not terrible. Beautiful looking. I gotta imagine its kinda like Tim Burtons Dark Shadows shoulda been. Reverential, to a point, but different enough to avoid comparison. More like a family dramedy, but with monsters. I found myself liking it more than I expected. Would like to see what they could do with it. Its no oldschool Munsters...but it really isn`t trying to be. Color me surprised.

It would have been better than a bunch of other stuff on the air...

Agree entirely. Eddie Izzard was in fine form and the rest of the cast was well chosen too. It did decent numbers...not outstanding...but decent. There has been no announcement but last I read it wasn't entirely dead. I think NBC is spooked by the costs. Chances are it won't make it...but I would watch it if they do decide to do something with it. If you are on the fence I recommend trying to catch it online or maybe it's gonna be on HuLu or something.
