‘Legends of Tomorrow’ Will Bring in Jonah Hex Later This Season
http://collider.com/legends-of-tomorrow-jonah-hex/

I'm kinda digging LoT in concept at least. A rotating cast, more of a Marvel Team Up kinda groove. Good way to introduce some of the lesser known characters with potential.

New Nancy Drew won't be white, according to CBS execs

Hurm. Is this really the solution to having more diversity? Ruling out a 'white' actress before even casting? Shouldn't it be the BEST candidate for the job. It just seems too easy for people to basically say 'no whites allowed' in this new dynamic. And isn't that the same thing they are trying to correct?

Someone needs to check their privilege. Until there is a transgendered differently abled Inuit girl on television, transgendered differently abled Inuit girls will not be able to see someone who looks like them on their televisions and never be able to engage properly with this program.

Have to say, this looks like it could be pretty funny.

Almost forgot about this. Thanks.

And thanks to DirecTV for letting me add it to my DVR through a web browser.

25 hours is a lot to put on the ol' DVR, but I'm going to give it a chance. I don't think the teasers for this look good at all, so I might end up deleting it completely, but I applaud the intention of the network commitment even if the effectiveness of the marketing campaign is in question. Apparently, the 25-hour marathon will also include segments and live tweets from people involved with the show. They are only airing the first 10 episodes in the marathon, which means multiple airings of each show even with all the filler. But, even better IMO, Angie Tribeca has been renewed for "10 more seasons!"

Starting Jan. 25, TBS will begin rolling out Seasons 2-11, each of which will consist of one episode, giving viewers a season premiere and finale "in one really tight package," a news release said.

Personally, I would have loved to see Yvonne Strahovski come back and take the Jack Bauer spot. She was great in 24: Live Another Day.

Can't they just compromise and make Jack a Jew? mhihi:

What they clearly need to do is find someone with the exact ancestry that matches the current demographics of the United States. And obviously he needs to bi and have a romance with a male character in one episode, but then females for the rest of the season.
