If we're just listing series NBC dicked over and were cancelled too quickly, I'm gonna go with Bent and About a Boy (give it about three weeks and it's gonna be the case).

How the gently caress do the people at NBC who greenlit Heroes Reborn look at what is going on with something like Netflix, House of Cards and the shitload of viewers and awards, and not cap just themselves? Or even loving Arrow on the CW?

On the Surface Heroes Reborn isn't a bad idea. Make a couple of 12 episode miniseries, with completely new casts(I mean besides Ali Larter) each series and tell a short story. And as long as they promote it like "We hosed up, this time we are doing it more like season one" It will probably cause people to give it at least 1-2 Episodes. I mean it's not going to end up that way. And Will more than likely be terrible. But I can't fault NBC for trying. Heroes was pretty big overseas even as it lost ratings here. Plus what is Ali Larter doing nowadays anyway. Cardboard Box A posted:Imagine a show so bad it actually turns people off of TV/your network altogether. As in it produces a net loss of viewers for other shows. I mean Arrow's great and all, but I'm pretty sure that's not why they are doing it. It's probably more "We have absolutely nothing in the pipeline that we have any faith in, Quick lets bring back something that was pretty good for us."

I would like to point out that we live in a world where Heroes is coming back, and yet eight years on instead of a revived The Lost Room all we have is Warehouse 13. Now that I've reminded myself of that I feel physically ill, as should you.

I'm watching The Job on Netflix. Somehow, I never heard of it before, and it's only one season so I'm guessing a lot of people didn't watch it ever. It's really good though, I have no idea why it would have failed. It's about Denis Leary being a House-type pill-popping NYPD detective, back when Denis Leary was at his prime of being a funny rear end in a top hat. It's also got a bunch of other people I recognize in it. Also, the first episode ends with Denis Leary spelling "Jiggleypuff" to someone on the phone. I won't even tell you why he's doing it. So yeah watch it.

Most of About a Boy was fine considering the low expectations I had following Sepinwall's review, but my god the last few minutes was just some of the worst television I've ever seen. What were they thinking...

Don't want to get spoiled in the 24 thread, so asking this question here: My wife and I are 22 hours into the first season of 24. We are enjoying it due to the format being really cool, Jack Bauer being ridiculous, and Palmer owning whatever room he's in. However, some of the twists and mini-storylines are testing our patience - the amnesia storyline in particular being the height of ridiculous time-stalls in a show that stalls for time a lot. My question is, how does the show age in the rest of the seasons? Is season 1 the high point? It's a show that takes a lot of time to watch so we don't want to dive into season 2 if it's just worse or a rehash of S1. Thanks!

There are stupid plot points in each and every one of them, mostly involving Kim, but hey, what can you do. Be prepared that season 1 is kinda low key concerning the threads Jack faces compared to the later seasons. The show starts to drop in quality massively starting with season 5. People will tell you that season 5 is cool because of the president and his storyline, but at that point the show really just stopped being exciting at all for me. It's still got the twists and shoot-outs and explosion and so on, but it all feels old. None of the twists surprise you anymore. It then reaches its absolute nadir with the godawful season 6, and while season 7 and 8 are a bit better, I still think you'd be happier if you stopped watching after season 4. EDIT: I really am excited for the mini-series though. A few years off the air, a new setting and the new format (which hopefully means we won't have too much filler) might be enough for a few hours of great television.

The fact that we've gotten through 22 full-length episodes without turning it off yet is a testament in and of itself.

Every season of 24 has at least 1 totally retarded, awful plotline, it's pretty much a tradition. It has plenty of retarded, unbelievable but totally awesome plotlines too. Season 2 and onwards pick up the stakes and crazy a lot. Seasons 1-3 are all great (Minus Kims S2 story, just FF through that, you won't miss anything). Season 4 is a step down IMO but still good, S5 is the best, S6 is 95% awful, S7 divides a lot of fans but I thought it was great and S8 drags terribly in the middle but pulls it together for the last act.

I literally just remembered the narration that ran throughout Heroes. Also, there's been some crazy revisionist history going on recently with people claiming that the first season is 'good'. No. No it's not. 'Company Man' aside it's still bad and the only reason I can see for people being into it is because it races through plot pretty quick AND it's clearly building to something. After that it goes right off the rails. Maybe if Tim Kring kept his original idea of Season 2 starting fresh with a new set of characters then it might've been something, but then this is Tim Kring...and he's terrible.
