I guess awards don't matter to anyone when such a high ratio of shows are quality.
Or the Emmys just need to be streamed on Netflix.
noooooooo kidding
no kidding.

It feels so much like a King of Queens sequel that I bet it lasts 10 seasons.
Yeah, but King of Queens was great*. Kevin can Wait pilt was mildly entertaining, but swapping Arthur Spooner for some random kids is sure is huge freaking downgrade,
*in its first five seasons

Wait did The Good Place start? Damn I can't keep up with this stuff.

I honestly don't remember anything about the show, other than the weird Becker/Raymond crossover thing that turned all the CBS sitcoms into a shared universe. lol

I watched The Good Place, and I don't know what to think. There were things I liked about it, but some of it was just too silly.
I'll continue with it, but may not stay.

Maybe. I'm skeptical that something like King of Queens can survive for its full run. Not loving any of the characters so far but we'll see how it fares
Lol that was such a weird thing for them to do. It was especially annoying cause Kevin James didn't always play Doug in the show. There are times when he is a guy who also works in sports and is named Kevin.
I feel the same. Parts of it were funny and other parts seemed way too zany and cheesy.
Seriously, everyone should go through that thread and add everything you're interested in to TV Calendar. You should also go to the settings and and enable "Show Premiere Eps" just in case you missed something so you can see whenever a new series is starting.

Eugh...when will Dancing With the Stars die?
*sharp intake of breath*
I feel like they both can build as the season goes on.
Also Lucifer's extra 'percentage' point in the demo and total number of viewers being higher than Gotham's is impressive given that they build on the early show's numbers.
Gotham and Lucifer return low
Fish Mooney will do that to the ratings.

shes still around huh. i checked out when she came back last season and didnt finish. I recorded the premier last night but now i dont know....
I do feel like marketing for return hasn't been as heavy this year, but could just be didn't watch a ton of summer TV

The Good Place is okay. I watched both episodes. It's not bad, It's not great.
It's what made me run from the first season. Though the second season intrigues me.
I don't know where I read it, but there was one article that suggested FOX's weak summer performance could have a knockdown effect because basically nobody saw their commercials, so less people will watch it.
Guess the real test will be when Empire returns tomorrow night
It will drop more. It will remain huge, but I think the time of 5+ demo hits will be past if it continues on the latter half of season 2.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Just remembered that we haven't gotten the rumored huge cameo on a show yet have we?
What has returned? Big Bang, Gotham and Lucifer?
The other blind item about the cancellation also hasn't been revealed yet which is the bigger mystery for now.
Nick Cage as Johnny Blaze tonight on SHIELD. Believe!

It got a 2.6 with a 3.8 lead in.
Last year in the same slot Life in Pieces got a 2.6 with a 4.7 lead in.
I think that's really quite good all things considered.

Predictions!
Bull - 2.0
This is Us - 2.8
Bull - 2.0
This is Us - 2.8

I'm reasonably certain "Join or Die with Craig Ferguson" is cancelled.
1. The show was renewed for a second season and this was publicly announced.
2. The final episode of the 1st season ("History's Biggest Douchebag" -- the show is a debate panel show about questions through history) did not air, with no advance warning
3. Since then, Craig Ferguson has not mentioned the show, promoted the show, acknowledged the show, etc. He just did Chelsea on Netflix to promote Celebrity Name Game, but no mention of Join or Die. Nothing in his Twitter bio about it.
4. Social media for the show has been dormant since then, except to say "We're not sure when Join or Die will come back." in four tweets. Nothing on Facebook. And it was very active during the season.
5. Got removed from "Most Popular Shows" on the History website shortly after the season ended
If I had to guess--and this is based on literally nothing except my own idle speculation--I'd say that the final episode got pulled over content issues (maybe because someone living was in the running of the title question?) and Craig quit because of that, because the show uses Craig's name and he EPed and developed it, the network can't replace him as host.

If that happens, tonight is event television.

Atlanta and Better Things renewed at FX.

Update: Uh, yeah, the plot summary for the "History's Biggest Douchebag" episode that got pulled indicates that 5 of the 6 candidates are currently living individuals, one of whom is running for president. So, uh...
Edit: His touring bio was never updated with a reference to the show and his Instagram hasn't mentioned the show since the week the finale was supposed to air but didn't.

Better Things, yay! I'm really liking that one.
That was fast lol
Would be super sweet if this episode somehow "leaked", in the same way the Deadpool proof of concept got leaked.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
You might be on to something. The "We're not sure..." responses are strange. It's a panel show. They just need Craig and some comedians who want to promote themselves for a second.

So uh, This is Us was amazing. And it looks like it has already filled the Parenthood hole in my heart. I hope it does well.

someone else make predictions for Bull and This is Us so I'm not the only one~
I'm awful at ratings, but...
This Is Us I think is ending up at 2.9. Bull, jeez... I think you're right on that one. 2.0 sounds about right.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

NCIS is back. I miss having Vaseline smeared across my screen!!!
Wow they brought back Bud from JAG. And he looks like he aged 50 years. lol
I guess it's funny that all those CBS shows were set in NYC. At this point there are so many shows set in Chicago that you could probably do the same thing nowadays.
At least it's not Vinyl.

Yeah, I guess the ABC formula has shown that there's a new type of family sitcom that people like. But then again, that Tim Allen show is on season 8 or whatever so who knows.
I think Raymond appeared on King of Queens as "Ray" but I guess James was just a random guest star. lol

No brainer HBO style renewals.
