I likd NBC midseason shows trailers. but I think NBC chose best shows for fall, I think

[Achilles.]

I think Designated Survivor is gonna be the only one I end bothering with, tbh.

Does Riverdale have a trailer? I think I remember being interested back when I read about it, but I need a visual.

Ad Age tries to guess how shows will do, though obviously if it were that obvious we wouldn't have so many flops:

NBC: HITS This is Us - heart, buzzy trailer
Emerald City - epic, cable-y, gritty
Trial and Error - for fans of The Office
MISS Good Place - Bye Felicia, this will be the best new comedy of the season. They claim it's bad.
Taken - none of the movie's tension

ABC: HITS Designated Survivor - Well, it's certainly the show ABC seems most invested in; I've heard ABC's already been airing promos on their shows.
When We Rise - power, emotion.
MISS Every Comedy, except maybe Speechless

FOX: HITS Star - Lee Daniels' follow-up to Empire and all.
Exorcist - horror fans.
MISS Making History too gimmicky of a comedy
Mick tired

CBS HITS All 3 of their new white guy comedies. Well, they're very CBS I guess.
MISS Bull Too much like their other procedurals.

CW HITS Supergirl - Very compatible
Frequency - Compelling.
MISS No Tomorrow - Very flat.

I don't care for the Riverdale trailer. The acting is flat, the writing and music are overdramatic.

I did not expect that trailer of the show to be like that at all

[Hollywood.]

Not the CBS previews basically showing the entire pilot episode. Might check them all out anyways to them a chance. Nothing really stands out.

Also with the Amazing Race being a midseason show, I take it there's only going to be one cycle instead of the two they've done the last several years.

[fridayteenage]

Fox already changing their minds about some things.
Fall Thursdays at 9 will be Pitch, not Bones. Maybe they saw Scandal is delayed and Notorious will be easier competition.
So then spring Tuesdays at 9 will be Prison Break instead.

Bones will be moved to whatever fails, I suppose. Ratings have been on the awful side lately.

[Lee!!]

I didn't understand not using the MLB and World Series to promote Pitch in the fall. They came to their senses!

I dunno if entirely related, but HBO's prez is stepping down. Probably before he could be fired.

http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/mich...nt-1201779881/

The article points to the floppage of Vinyl, the decline of True Detective S2, the sudden production delay for Lewis and Clark, the production delays for Westworld, and the floppage of The Leftovers.
And how GoT can't go on forever to sustain the network.

Good

HBO have been on a downfall of epic proportions. The only show they have connected with on a grand scale is GoT and HBO have downplayed their success. I'm not big on it and my favorite HBO series is Silicon Valley.

They need to get it together, FX has completely been ******** on them the past ~2 years, maybe longer.

One year after launching standalone streaming service HBO Now, the network faces more competition than ever in the original programming realm. An April survey by Morgan Stanley found that more consumers believe Netflix has the best original content of any premium TV or Internet-video subscription service — the first time in the six-year history of the survey that HBO did not come out on top.

ETA: Is there a thread specifically for Television related news? Cancellations (not just on network television), renewals, firings, casting, greenlit projects, etc,.?

For now, just make a thread whenever something news worthy happens. With the upgrade there will be an Entertainment section which will focus mostly on TV and Movies and other news and topics not necessarily music related but still, I guess for a better word, entertainment. .

Emerald City and Bull look the best to me.

the channel has been doing well with Comedies though, but yeah i guess people noticed that the only hit drama HBO has had this decade is Game Of Thrones.

Vinyl had everything working for it to become a big event, but the creative effort behind it was too narrow tbh.. i put all the blame on the writers/Diretors tbh..

i doNAHT get the delay for Westworld!! i was so excited when i first got to know the premise.
