Is it a bad sign when I groaned when i saw Perry? And the summaries lost my attention mid-sentence?

Go On looks like shit. Save Me at least has Anne Heche in a straight jacket/dress, which is interesting.

[Stumpokapow]

I've got nothing against Heche, but I don't think she's a strong lead for a network show.

they didnt pay there monthly to adobe.

I don't think Matthew Perry is either.

The rumors - The Finder is looking more solid as things march on. It's cheap and the network loves Hart and the cast. Touch will get a season two. In the battle of GCB vs. Body of Proof vs. Scandal, Scandal obviously has the edge. There are economic reasons why Body of Proof (maybe) could squeak by, but if it does, it's only because the pilot crop isn't that great. And it looks like ABC likes their dramas enough. ABC comedies are meh. No standouts. Most are still in play, will mostly depend on where needs to fill a hole. Only 4, possibly only 3 will get picked up. It's also possible that a returning comedy could still follow Modern. The Asset dead. Karyn Usher spiraling downwards as it goes on. Most blame Brett Ratner's terrible directing.

Anything that is a negative for Ratner is a good thing.

I hate that guy for what he did to the X-Men franchise.

[Jay Sosa]

Supernatural renewed? Time to put the show out to pasture, something that should have happened two seasons ago.

The fuck's wrong with you?

[Gary Whitta]

Any word on Up All Night?

[Tamanon]

Touch getting a season 2 is awesome.

Especially now that they've started adding the overarching plotline.

[Bladenic]

Any word on Up All Night?

It'll probably be announced at the last moment, though I hope it gets renewed! Very charming series, love both Applegate and Arnett in it (Rudolph's character had her annoying moments though she was still great).

[ivysaur12]

I don't think Up All Night will make it, but I'm not 100% sure. The thing is that NBC really loves their new comedies. Besides Community and 30 Rock, I don't expect any of their other bubble comedies will make it - that includes Up All Night.

Parks and Rec is not a bubble show right?

And that would be sad about Up All Night... but not surprising. It's ratings were truly terrible, it would have done so much better had it stayed in the Wednesday time slot.

[ivysaur12]

Parks is not a bubble show, no.

[Averon]

The fuck's wrong with you?

I wouldn't be that harsh, but Supernatural hasn't been as good post Lucifer imo. It's a bit understandable, though. How can you top, or even equal, the apocalypse and the Devil?

[Rekwest]

Parks is not a bubble show, no.

What is a bubble show?

[ivysaur12]

It's a shell of its formal self. A fun distraction, maybe, held up by a good cast, but nothing like it was before hand.

[RatskyWatsky]

What is a bubble show?

A show that could easily be either cancelled or renewed.

[Gary Whitta]

I'll be bummed if Up All Night doesn't make it, definitely my favorite new show of last year.

[Bladenic]

Parks is not a bubble show, no.

Yay that means another season of one of the best shows on TV. Just gotta keep praying for Community.

[ivysaur12]

Deadline reporting that:

- 30 Rock close to a final pickup of 13-14 episodes
- Whitney unlikely to return
- Up All Night better than Whitney, but still up in the air
- Community 50/50
- Parks has a good chance

Stupid. Whitney is a stronger property than Up All Night, no matter how much better than Up All Night is creatively.

I'll be absolutely devastated if Community doesn't get at least one more season.

[TheSeks]

Waste Your Life. Waste Your Time.

Your time. Your idiocy.

I haven't watched Up All Night, but I hope it gets renewed only for Will Arnett to not have to find another show to try to prop up again. (Then again he does have AD season 4 and that IFC show on his plate...)

This is the most important part of that article that Nellie just updated:

I hear that, like 30 Rock, all returning NBC bubble comedy series will likely get short orders.

[RatskyWatsky]

This is the most important part of that article that Nellie just updated:

F yeah Community!

[Hot Coldman]

What does short order mean? 13 episodes? D:

[Bladenic]

This is the most important part of that article that Nellie just updated:

I guess I'd take 13 episodes of Community instead of 0, but I'd much prefer a last full season. Oh well... anything is better than cancellation at this point.

Any words on how the future for Apartment 23 is looking?

So no more Perry on The Good Wife? He wasn't bad in his guest role, but it didn't seem to be a good fit as a main antagonist for next season.

[RatskyWatsky]

Looking good at the moment.

[ivysaur12]

Whatever Community gets is most likely the last orders the show will ever get.

[Novid]

This is the most important part of that article that Nellie just updated:

This is a gut-check move by the brass. There spending more on the dramas even though the comdies got a boost this year. Could they be trying a half and half on thursday?

they should be happy they even got this far.

No - Remember, they're starting early in August because of the Olympics. They'll order more than they normally would just because they have more real estate they need to fill. I expect a ton of time shares.

ahh got ya.

[RatskyWatsky]

I think that's for the best, honestly. Characters spend 4 years in community college = 4 seasons of the show. It's pretty perfect, and I want the show to go out while it's still sort of on the top creatively.

[snesfreak]

I want it to get a full season at least.

[ivysaur12]

I want it to get a full season at least.

It's very unlikely. If it gets picked up for 13, that most likely will be that. It's close enough to syndication that it doesn't matter if it gets another 9.

Well we'll take what we can get I guess.

[Plinko]

I wish NBC would just cancel The Office and put it out of its misery, but that won't happen :(

Still hoping Parks and Rec is back with a full order next year.

Parks has a chance to get 22, but the current thought is that NBC will over-order new shows and then time share them to have original content throughout the year.

And honestly, that's what I want networks to do anyway.

Exactly.

52 weeks should be enough time for one slot to air 3 TV shows of 13 episodes each, and then 1 or 2 6 episode test balloons. Accounting for shows that get pulled during the season due to terrible ratings, as well as the occasional special event or pre-emption, it'd be a snug fit, but I think the creative output would be much much better.

I'm sorry to say that none of NBC's pilots conceptually seem like they're gonna be the ones to bring the Peacock back from the brink, but if they do shift to a more annualized schedule, that's good by me.

Should be a full 22, but something is better than nothing :/

[ConfusingJazz]

Too expensive for shit ratings.

Harry's Law is *very* much in play.

[dead souls]

Harry's Law is *very* much in play.

Lol, if NBC is considering renewing crap like that they deserve to stay mired in their current dismal position.

What an absolutely terrible network they've become.

[Busty]

Harry's Law is *very* much in play.

That's just NBC all over at the moment. Treading water and it sometimes feels like they are relishing it.

This show barely gets a 1.0 in the demo but it does get 8-10 million (old) people tuning in.

I wouldn't want to be the guy whose pilot is passed over by Greenblatt so NBC can keep this on the air.
