I have to assume it's some kind of Inside Out me-too that they realized didn't really work quite like the movie? Like, the way they've put the imaginary friend together I thiiiiink that's what they were going for. Show's inoffensive and fine for what it is but yeah the imaginary friend seems to show up twice per episode to bookend whatever non-issue the main character (who isn't Mary but I keep wanting to call her that) has to deal with.

I'm in the middle of the first episode now. He's in Italy, it's all in black & white, and like 95% of the spoken dialogue (including his) is in Italian w/ English subtitles. Strangely, it kinda works. No sign of his dad yet, but it's pretty decent so far. Gonna see where it goes. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 23:58 on May 12, 2017 |

Seeing about half the main cast (including the main character) of Once Upon a Time leaving in the next season has me wondering: a) are there any other series (soaps notwithstanding) that dispensed with a large part of their cast like this; and b) did any of them manage to pull it off successfully?

Friday Night Lights comes to mind, though they got rid of the majority of their original cast throughout 2 seasons rather than all at once.

Happens in British TV a lot. Misfits was a 100% completely different cast in it's first and last series, so was Being Human, off the top of my head.

I'm sure there's been at least a few, though I can't remember many off the top of my head. The one that comes to mind is Grey's Anatomy, even though it did keep the main character, it cycled out nearly everyone else. Out of curiosity who all is leaving Once Upon a Time? I used to watch that show, it was ok.

There are a number of British shows that have -- Misfits, Skins, Being Human; all had complete cast changeovers in recent memory -- and though a lot of fans tend to hate that the shows did that, I've never really minded it. Being Human, in particular, I thought was as good if not better with its new cast. It's one of my favourite shows. There's another British show this famously applies to as well, but its name shalt not be spoken here. Once Upon A Time's new season will be bad because the show is bad and its showrunners can't manage for poo poo, not because they're only keeping three cast members. -Blackadder- posted:Out of curiosity who all is leaving Once Upon a Time?

That's interesting, they're keeping the best actors and getting rid of everyone else. Robert Carlyle and Lana Parrilla especially blow everyone else out of the water. Focusing the show on Rumpelstiltskin and the Evil Queen can only be an improvement.

I guess I should have clarified, have all the freshman time-travelers been axed? And with the cancellation of Zorn, will FOX just loving bring Bob's back into the warmth of 8-10 and stop trying to ditch the "animation domination" label? Though, I do enjoy Last Man on Earth

House kind of did it where the team in the frist 3 seasons was basically written to recurring roles instead of feature. I know its not a typical answer, but Young Justice basically flash forwarded a decade between season 1 and 2, abd had such a major shift. Sure the characters were all there, but the roles were so radically shifted. Last season of Scrubs did simething similar, and I still maintain that could have been a good show if it was just Dr. Cox and all the new people instead of trying to shoehorn in all the old characters for 3 episodes at a time.

2 Broke Girls was canceled. Probably the only people that care were the ones who were directly employed by it.

They fired like 99% of the Good Morning, Miss Bliss cast and then changed its name to Saved by the Bell.

muscles like this! posted:2 Broke Girls was canceled. Probably the only people that care were the ones who were directly employed by it. This surprised me, mostly because I assumed it has been cancelled year ago. Does this mark the end of the obnoxiously mean-spirited sitcom? Oh wait no The Great Indoors is still on the air, drat it. What a loving waste of Stephen Fry. [Edit: Great Indoors finished up the season with half the viewers it started with, I'll be shocked if it doesn't get shitcanned] [Another edit: gently caress me, CBS is moving forward with Young Sheldon.  ]

Kinda surprised that 2 Broke Girls was cancelled, but according to Deadline CBS wasn't getting any sweet sweet mailbox money like everybody else involved was as part of the syndication deals (That said, they got their payday 5 years ago when TBS paid $1.7 mil per ep for the cable rights.) I only recently actually watched the show, owing to the fact that I was bored, it was on and I ditched cable a while ago so my options were limited. The episode was about the Broke Girls having to do their taxes, so they went to a "trendy" "millennial" tax firm where a guy who would've been overplaying "stoned idiot" if he went in for a Harold and Kumar 4 audition tried to get the Broke Girls to count everything in their lives as a deduction. The jokes were lazy and everything was scripted to appeal to an audience who hadn't actually interacted with a young person in the last decade, but after 30 seconds of watching Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs running around in those outfits and routinely, casually pawing at each other I instantly knew that if this show had been on the air when I was a teenager, it would have been my favorite show, I would have planned my entire LIFE around when the local CW affiliate scheduled the reruns. In that instant I knew how it had been on the air for 6 years and where the viewer numbers were coming from. lelandjs posted:[Another edit: gently caress me, CBS is moving forward with Young Sheldon. They're not "moving forward" with it - Young Sheldon got a straight-to-series order. Buzungur!

I watched 2 episodes of 13 Reasons Why, and it really sucked. I'm not saying it doesn't get good, but after 2 eps it was the worst show I've ever seen. Like, Big Bang Theory was much better after 2 eps.

Re: 13 Reasons: I don't know what or who I'm supposed to relate to or sympathize with. Hannah is practically Hannibal in terms of being a relatable person, and the main dude is a wierd creeper who we aren't given any reason to relate to. Like, Im not saying there isn't potential... But they sure aren't setting it up.
