I finally finished Sense8. It paints in broad strokes but is definitely worth watching.

It felt to me like a watered down version of that show Dave Attell used to have on Comedy Central. 32MB OF ESRAM posted:You own a fine collection of antique bad opinions but this is centered on your matle If you like watching people who can't act their way out of a paper bag shoot low-budget CG out of their hands for 42 minutes at a time, that's your prerogative, just own the fact that you're watching poo poo. I enjoy plenty of lovely shows. I'm not going to defend the fact that they're lovely.

So, obviously Minority Report is a Dead-Show-Airing (dropped to a .7 on Monday) and I haven't watched any of it because it looked awful (and apparently is). But apparently they have a panel at New York Comic Con this weekend, and I really hope someone records it. What if FOX cancels it before then? And even if they don't, everyone is going to know the show is dead. That's going to be one seriously awkward panel and I want to see every moment of it.

The really sad part about Minority Report getting canceled is that the Network will likely blame it on lack of interest in the genre rather than the format. More crappy procedurals in 2016!

^^^^^ Well it IS kind of a crappy procedural. Sad thing is they tried it with Almost Human too except that was actually elevated by two really fantastic leads.ComposerGuy posted:So, obviously Minority Report is a Dead-Show-Airing (dropped to a .7 on Monday) and I haven't watched any of it because it looked awful (and apparently is). It's not good or bad, just kind of there. I got bored enough through the second episode to turn it off, since it's going to get canned anyway why bother? I have plenty of other stuff waiting. Peak tv is upon us!

Even The Mysteries of Laura is a better cop show than Minority Report. Minority Report is at its core a really lovely cop show and the sci-fi is 99% window dressing and the two leads aren't even fun to watch. In fact the only good actor on that show might be Nick Zano and maybe the sister precog (Harry Crane's wife). But definitely not the leads.

The only popular sci-fi-ish procedural I can think of off the top of my head is Person of Interest, and that predates Almost Human by 2 years. raditts fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Oct 7, 2015 |

If we're dreaming about late night comedian shows I would donate really vital organs if it meant giving Norton a show where he just walks around Las Vegas and other shady hooker cities striking up conversations with weirdos.  Also Patrice's ghost follows him around

The notion that a somewhat dim big-deal TV actor can move back to home and slip into his family's law practice is idiotic and impossible to sustain. ... ... ... ...but what if it wasn't?

That's actually surprising because I think the last FOX show that got a two season renewal was Glee.

My response had nothing to do with the show's quality. Multi-season renewals for anything but bonafide hit shows are super dumb. Maybe the show costs nothing to make?

I guess you could make the comparison to King of the Hill, which didn't get great ratings after the first couple seasons but stuck around and spent most of its run in the pre-empted by football timeslots.

There's enough buffer with all the postgame stuff that 7:30 is rarely preempted for football. Honestly, the only times I can think of in recent memory when it was preempted, it was due to NASCAR.

raditts posted:FXX is not only a bad name, but was also a bad idea in general. I kind of liked the idea to be honest. FX would have the serious/drama stuff and FXX could have the comedies and more experimental stuff. Kind of like BBC 2,3,4 etc. I was excited for it initially because I thought it meant shows like Legit would get to stay around for longer. How I was wrong. raditts posted:See also: The Esquire Channel, which is only good for Ninja Warrior reruns. I really liked Friday Night Tykes. It seems I was the only one though, because I couldn't even find  for the last two episodes and tracking down episodes of Season 2 is even harder. (I don't have access to Esquire where I live)
