Her Twitter is unfiltered nonsense. The tweet where she claims Britain, the Netherlands, and France are paying Muslims to carry out terrorist acts... whew.
He's still got it!
A version of Sliders that don't fall apart three seasons in. That would make me happy, yes. Cool show.
It won't be the same without John Rhys-Davies and you know it.
I'm pretty sure there's another Knight Rider show on the way with Hasselhoff producing.
I'm with you, have zero interest in Roseanne.
Thats really surprising. lol. I didn't expect that at all. I wonder it is mean to be a continuation or reboot
Didn't they already try that only to have it bomb?
I believe Pachimari is referencing a 3rd series. Unless you, yourself, mean the 3rd series bombed before it started.
The 2008 series did bomb though

What, you expect Hollywood to do something new instead of doubling down?
Knight Rider To Ride Again As Machinima Digital Series With Justin Lin At The Wheel
I'm sure THIS time it'll be a hit!
The 2008 one bombed yeah. But it's been a long while since we heard from that other Knight Rider series. They might have dropped it before it even came to be something? Oh, it's supposed to come out on Machinima this year.
They did!
And it had a car which shape-changed via CGI. CGI which hasn't aged well, not that it looked good at any point.
Man, that show was terrible. Couldn't even finish the first episode.

Poor Amazing Race, not really a surprise though.
One of the worst seasons in years.
Yes! That would be great.
You're probably right, but I'd be willing to give it a shot. A total reboot, where the only thing the same is that they slide to parallel earths and we get to see stupid stuff like red means go and green means stop, but also stuff like what if the US was communist or the Nazis won, things like that. Maybe have a Eureka, Warehouse 13, Librarians vibe. I don't know, it was just an idea, I'll leave now, I need to go watch Sliders again.
Now that would be in very poor taste.
Well James Garner and John Ritter are dead, and it is more likely they are back before Kaley Cuoco is free from The Big Bang Theory.

Retconning Goodman's death is so dumb. lol

listen to the mad man
i don't know what this is and i'm gunshy about changing the title because everyone keeps owning me because i got the current one wrong
Sounds like it was a superhero show that was also about college life? A sorority girl becomes a vigilante going after rapists and abusers of women and gets a hacker sidekick.
Sepinwall described it as Arrow meets Greek.
Apparently it was also kind of good towards the end?

Ooooh. I remember hearing about this one. Never got around to watching it. There was some buzz about it actually being decent for an MTV show.
I've got a feeling MTV is gonna be going in the same direction as A&E once Teen Wolf ends. They cancel almost all their original shows.
That would be weird. I guess they could play music videos to fill the gaps in their schedule...

I think it did? I haven't watched the finale episode in probably a good 15 years. I remember Steve was stuck in space or something silly like that. Nobody watched it. CBS snatched Family Matters and Step By Step for their final seasons and made this weird zombie TGIF block.
It did. He goes into space and gets lost. But then he comes back and him and Laura get together.
Or something.
Man, Family Matters went off the fucking rails.

So, any news about the upcoming Writers Strike?
I forgot how crazy the show got. Robots n living dolls n time travelling... I can't imagine how those scripts got an ok.
Hm....I'm vaguely remembering a TV show from my childhood with another car that transformed. I think it was a convertible and one of the forms was bulletproof. Can't remember the name though. It was so silly
Edit: Wait, I think the show was Viper
Just checked and they've already leaked the first episode, damn.

Ghosted looks like a lock; LA->Vegas going strong due to the zeitgeisty nature of the premise; Linda From HR and Type-A are in contention; Thin Ice is a long shot.
Drama
Untitled Marvel project still a lock; The Resident is in serious contention; University project divisive, but a contender; Behind Enemy Lines has lost momentum, but can't be counted out yet.
ABC
Comedy
Losing It is faring well; Start Up, Charlie Foxtrot, The Goldbergs spinoff, the City Mayor project, Household Name, and untitled Single Dad are all in the mix; Splitting Up Together is gaining momentum; Raised by Wolves, not so much; Libby & Malcolm and Black-ish spinoff are question marks.
Drama
Deception, The Good Doctor, and Shondaland's new legal drama are getting buzz; The Crossing is getting attention; Las Reinas exceeded expectations; Reba's new show considered a possibility; Unit Zero is cooling down.
NBC
Comedy
Untitled high school comedy, The Sackett Sisters, Spaced Out, and What About Barb? are getting attention; Champions is a possibility; the response to Relatively Happy was encouraging.
Drama
Rise (aka Drama High) and For God and Country continue to be the standouts; Reverie is getting a bit of buzz; Good Girls has some internal support, but is an outlier.
CBS
Comedy
9J, 9K & 9L is still going strong; Brothered Up is faring well; Me, Myself & I has some buzz.
Drama
Instinct and S.W.A.T. have buzz; Perfect Citizen and the SEAL project are in contention; Wisdom of the Crowd is a possibility; Mission Control was mentioned.
The CW
Dynasty continues to be the favorite; Black Lightning and Life Sentence are going strong; Searchers was very well received; Insatiable is a dark horse, but still a possibility; Mark Pedowitz wants a military drama (for some reason?), so Valor looks pretty good.

I assume they got into the "critics" version of Netflix that I keep hearing about, because I'm not sure why else you'd put the entire season of a new show up so far in advance.

A lock, like it'll be locked up and put in jail?

I'm still a bit bitter over Knight Rider 2008, the backdoor pilot was a boardroom ran mess that wasn't helped by rushing it into production due to the writer's strike with a writer/producer came off annoyingly arrogant, almost as much as the guy who designed the boring pilot version of the car. It sucked but its ratings were still really good so it went to series where they produced to really fuck it up until the last few episodes where they realized how badly they did fuck it up and started fixing it but by then it was way too late. As much as the pilot irritated me the series made me wish it would've stuck closer to it than the over the top poor man's FnF/Transformers/Ford commercial and what they did with the car was stomach churning. It introduced me to Deanna Russo so it wasn't all bad and she and the rest of the cast and crew who didn't have creative control deserved better.
Fuck Gary Scott Thompson and especially NBC who didn't learn their lesson with how they screwed up Bionic Woman. I hope GST is still making money off Fast and the Furious and that's enough to prevent him from writing anything else.

You know, I can't imagine this hurts Netflix or even the Orange is the New Black premiere that much. If it was something like a whole season of Game of Thrones or American Gods, I could see an issue. But Netflix is so ubiquitous, that I'm sure most people won't want to bother jumping through hoops to see this a little early.
Scary scenario though. Wonder what else they took. And I wonder if Netflix is gonna pay up.
