The child actor in Ben and Kate (red-haired kid) has a small role in Star-Crossed. For a kid that young, she's actually a decent actor. Star Crossed's pilot actually looks pretty interesting. If you like science fiction in general, you might like it.

Ruh roh Gotham sounds Real Bad. (if it's a real script, which I believe because it's funnier if it's true) I'm spoiling this even though I have no respect for people who get mad about baby town frolics spoilers like this: quote:
Know that if you are glad I did that I hold you in contempt.

quote:• Major Crimes detective Renee Montoya used to date Gordon's fiancée, because LESBIANS. And for bonus points, Bullock even calls her a dyke. Fun! That's like a basic part of her comic character if I'm remembering correctly. That's not some cheap TV addition. And if I remember correctly he's kind of a piece of poo poo rear end in a top hat who would do that sort of thing. I don't know, I think its really stupid to judge a show based on a leaked draft of the pilot script that may or may not be real. A lot of that stuff sounds like it just needs tweeks or might play better under the right approach. A lot of it could just be cut. Or it could all be bullshit. The tone sounds of those notes makes it sound like they were playing with merging a campy Adam West feel and gritty film noir thing which could work or be a disaster. Or it could get scrapped or be fake. That being said isn't this the show that started as "Smallville, but with Batman"? So yeah, I'm not expecting much at all.

I shouldn't be surprised about a knee jerk reaction to what might be fake as poo poo script. Going into everything thinking it's going to suck has to be a depressing way to view media.

Going into everything thinking it's going to suck has to be a depressing way to view media. Part of me thinks that the primary reason spoilers and the internet exists is so that a bunch of people can preemptively talk themselves out of being interested in things so that they're never disappointed when things fail to meet expectations. Then they work very hard to get everyone else on board too because its depressing when everyone else is having more fun at a party than you are.

I hadn't even heard of this Gotham show before now. I hope the Flash show doesn't suck though, the Barry Allen cameo in Arrow was pretty good.Tuxedo Jack posted:ALSO, got around to watching Late Night with Seth Meyers, finally... Jesus, that was rough. I mean, I'm sure it'll get better, but goodness, everything fell flat except for Armisen's gags and some of the Poehler interview. The best part of the show was Fred Armisen? drat, that is rough. I DVRed the first episode of the Fallon Tonight Show last week and haven't watched that yet either. zoux posted:Hmmm I dunno guys, what do you think, do you think Irish Joe was trolling? He makes some pretty bad posts elsewhere too so it's really tough to say.

1990 Flash? I watched that show every week when I was a kid and even then I knew it wasn't that good.Deadpool posted:6. Adventures of Superman (perfectly acceptable for the time period) What about Lois and Clark? I never actually watched a single episode of it but it stayed on for a long time. Then again, so did Smallville.

The only other show I can think of that may fit in there was the old Hulk show. But there were way more mediocre shows than good from what I can remember. The '60s Batman is the best comic book show ever made though and I don't think it will ever be surpassed. Everything about it is perfect.

When I was 14 I enjoyed Lois and Clark quite a bit. I'm sure if I was 25 I would have disliked it greatly.

Didn't people really like that Human Target show? How was the old Lynda Carter Wonder Woman show? I've never seen it outside syndication in my youth. And is Agents of SHIELD really a "trainwreck"? I haven't seen it but the impression I got was that it was more plodding and boring and not nearly as interesting as the movies.

Human Target season 1 was awesome. Season 2 was redesigned like crazy by Fox and ratings took a dive and then was canceled.

Yeah, SHIELD isn't so much bad as it is just boring as poo poo. Even without the superheroes from the movies it has the potential to be a better and more interesting show, but it's just... not.

It's only a trainwreck if you expected super heroes and marvel awesomeness every episode. Or at all. On it's own, it's aggressively mediocre. And on Lois and Clark, that show rules. At least when I was 7 to 11 years old, which is when the show aired. Haven't seen it since.

Fateo McMurray posted:It's only a trainwreck if you expected super heroes and marvel awesomeness every episode. Or at all. On it's own, it's aggressively mediocre. But the main point of the original question seemed to be "are there any shows made from comics that didn't suck terribly?" and the answer seems to be "yeah, there were a bunch of that were all right, mediocre, or had potential but not many that have really put it together and become very good." My theory is that we'll only start getting a number of "very good" comic shows when we're saturated with a lot of bad or mediocre ones first. Same goes for Sci Fi, fantasy, horror, or whatever. For every Breaking Bad or The Shield there's a dozen lovely crime dramas. Its a business that I think heavily relies on throwing poo poo at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Spatula City posted:The Middleman is still the most unjust and horrible cancellation in a long and storied history of terrible TV cancellations. I used to think that, but I've come to a different conclusion: I'm glad that someone picked it up, even if it was only for a season. It's the kind of show that no channel exec in their right mind would greenlight, but those crazy bastards at ABC Family did anyway. And then almost immediately realized their mistake and realigned their sights on middling dramas for teenage girls. Terriers remains the most unjust cancellation, especially considering that FX is now floundering for content for their two networks.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:Yeah, season one of Human Target was amazing, two was amazingly poo poo. Gosh that's such a wrong opinion it hurts. Season 1 is very good, but season 2 is actually really good too. Possibly even better. The addition of two *gasp* female characters is awkward at first but they soon fit in and do add another dimension and more character dynamics to the show. And the episodes where Mrs. Pucci actually gets caught up in the action are particularly funny and work surprisingly well. The action and stunts are still there and better than ever, so it dosen't lose anything as an action show, but overall the show has more depth in season 2, and is constantly good across all of the episodes. Even if you really didn't like the changes in season 2, I don't see how anyone could say it is "amazingly poo poo" if they claim to like season 1.
