It never really belonged on CBS so I'm glad we got an entire season anyway. Would've made a pretty good USA show or something.

Rename the show to NCIS: Limitless maybe then they'll buy it, they could get NZT Brian and his mind self both hacking something at the same time on the same keyboard.

And honestly I doubt they would be willing to effectively pick up and produce what is a nothing more than a network procedural. They're not in the habit to do that. They're in the habit to compete with HBO and Showtime and Starz and AMC for prestige TV buzz while hosting people's back catalogues. Imagine if Netflix actually started producing an honest to goodness procedural. Maybe even aired it week-to-week instead. I mean there would be riots in the goddamn streets. I mean people were already confused when Netflix US got the broadcast rights to a Canadian show (Between) which was airing week-to-week and people were livid that a "Netflix original" wasn't all plopped out at their feet and they had to wait like one of those plebs who has a Nielsen box.

I was never that optimistic about Amazon. They shuttered a lot of their original content and made a big splash w/ 'saving' Community and it didn't pan out for them allegedly. I don't think they want to be in the 'saving' business, they want that item that sparks and draws heat to their goals and they probably feel, as Netflix has come to justifiably feel, that is going to be accomplished internally. But damned if it doesn't sting.

How is Longmire anyway? I really enjoyed the first season so.

It remains fantastic all the way through, the 4th (Netflix's first) season was stellar.

Holyshoot posted:Is Dr. Ken any good? I always liked that actor. And is it a laugh track show? No, it's horrible. Quite possibly the worst comedy show I've ever attempted to watch and yes I believe there was a laugh track. Several shows on that list were cancelled/not renewed, hopefully Dr. Ken among them. Holy poo poo, Dr. Ken got another season, wow.

Sr. Ken was renewed. This gave me false hope weeks ago.

dr ken was renewed after like 3 episodes too or something ridiculous. ABC had a bit of a rough year.

Now you all feel how I felt about Forever last year. Full season order, then promptly cancelled. Luckily it didn't leave on a cliffhanger either.

Between this and Person of Interest, I can see exactly why network TV is going to die a long slow death. gently caress you CBS. and to rub it in they renewed Scorpion which everyone knows is terrible garbage.

It was good it was cancelled. At least they wrapped it up. The characters lived out the rest of their endless life's doing monsters of the week episodes.

drat, I really wanted this to get another season. It was a refreshing and fun show, certainly my favorite along with Fargo Season 2 from this past Tv season. But, yeah, at least they didn't end it on a bitter "we had seasons planned of more story but gently caress you viewers for not making it possible it for the show to be renewed, here's a big cliffhanger". All the way from episode two through the season finale the show did not dissapoint.

Tenzarin posted:It was good it was cancelled. At least they wrapped it up. The characters lived out the rest of their endless life's doing monsters of the week episodes. Now that it's canceled the ending kinda bugs me. As they showed it, it seemed like they thought they already had a renewal in the bag with them talking about expanding the team and that sort of thing. If they thought it was on the bubble I'd think they'd have dropped in a short scene with Brian and Rebecca kissing or something.

The ending was a nice wrap-up and it didn't seem like there was significant chance to think that it would be cancelled. Ratings weren't the best but they weren't dumpster material by any means.

According to screen rant Limitless was the highest rated show to get cancelled this year having a 2.2 in 18-49 and 9.8 million total viewership. I am not great with what ratings mean but isn't that fairly good for a new show? Was the show extremely expensive to make for some reason?

I guess it was to much to hope that Limitless and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend both get renewed.

Like literally Code Black which is also owned by ABC and had worse ratings than Limitless was renewed. Or I'm pretty sure the CM spinoff though also wholly owned had worse ratings and was renewed. I guess Limitless just wasn't on brand enough. As in stuffy white people being professionals solving grizzly crimes or stuff.
