They cancel a show after 6 episodes but we have to have a whole crappy season of a "reality" . There is no justice.

This is getting made they can't be too picky. That show better have a damned good reason why they can't rebuild basic machines in 15 years.

#SixSeasonsAndAMovie

I was quite disappointed to see this one go.

I just started watching 'Friday Night Lights' last week and am still dumbfounded that a show that good was on NBC.

Why do we even have pilots anymore? Or focus groups? Assuming it isn't like B grade and low production value bad, just order a couple episodes, toss that shiat up on the web, order some cheap intern to try to promote on social media or get some clip to go viral as a reddit meme. See what actually does take off and order more.

I know it's going to be terrible, but I'm going to give it a shot anyhow. I expect the setting to not make any sense, the characters to be "The Walking Dead"-level stupid, and the acting to be horrible. I just wish there could be some decent sci-fi on TV.

Cancelled my cable a few months ago and have never been happier. Bought a set of HDTV rabbit ears to tide me over, but haven't used them once. Then again, with Demonoid gone, it's a bit more difficult to find my TV shows with the commercials stripped out.

I see this show and I think FlashForward. There is a lot of potential in the story line but history tells us that to maximize profits and viewers it will end up being written and marketed by middle management focus groups.

Abed was referring to The Cape when that line originated. It was a stupid show.

//BUT I LOVED IT!

TLC needs to be nuked from orbit for all the crap that they keep putting on their channel.

OMFG, I saw a commercial for that joke of a show for the first time yesterday and I finally realized that TV is and will continue to be the downfall of our society.

They don't have electricity- as in, electricity no longer works on Earth, when it comes to powering mechanical devices, anyway. That was pretty obvious from the trailer. Yeah, the guy uses a computer at the end of it, but it looks like he has that special "jewel" thing and is in league with the people (or whatever) that originally made electricity stop working.

It's an interesting premise, I guess. But the show looks terrible. The "big three" networks can't do sci-fi shows well. They are too scared of alienating the dumb members of their audience.

Me too. If it is half as good as Jericho I'll be content but it looks like they're trying to make Hunger Games the tv show with all the shots of the female lead shooting a bow and arrow.

Oh you shouldn't fret. It's quite EZ to find TV if you DOT your I's and cross your T's

The Science Fiction Channel... sorry, I meant SCI-FI... sorry, I meant SY-FY can't be trusted to do sci-fi shows well either. Someone needs to pick up the reigns!

Erm, I'll disagree with you there. Drama fills more time cheaper than plot development. As long as that's the case you will never ever find good quality scifi on television.

Yeah, that's a beyond retarded premise. "Electrons don't flow anymore!" Well, then everyone would be dead.

Nope...it'll be in the graveyard next to Terra Nova, The Event, and Flash Forward by this time next year.

I am just curious as to why electricity doesn't work in the show. Vacuum tubes and electro magnets are easy for even the layperson to understand and make and should help rebuild to some level.

Not to mention that idea that electricity just "Doesn't work anymore" would mean one of the fundamental forces of nature stopped working and would have all kinds of repercussions for everything from gravity to our brain

Odds are they explain it with aliens or terrorists. It is always one of those two.

Arent we overdue for a plauge or something. TLC forgot what the L stands for. The only thing people learn for that channel today is how to be vapid stupid attention whores.

FirstNationalBastard: /and NBC should never have canceled Law and Order classic for a bunch of shows that were off the air within a season.

Man, I love L&O, but the past few seasons have been really, really poor. I've been watching old ones from the first few seasons and they were much more compelling.

While watching the Olympics I had the displeasure to watch the comercials for this show way to many times... Why cant they use steam power? Or solar energy? Or a freaking windmill? How about a hamster runjning in a wheel?

this show looks like it is going to make me mad so I pplan on never watching any of it

actually every show that NBC was advertising for looked bad and will not be watched

FirstNationalBastard: StrikitRich: I just started watching 'Friday Night Lights' last week and am still dumbfounded that a show that good was on NBC.

Only for two seasons.

It only got the final three seasons because DirecTV picked it up.

/and NBC should never have canceled Law and Order classic for a bunch of shows that were off the air within a season.

Yes, but NBC did pick up the pilot it was exclusively on NBC up until the writers strike.

I've been watching 'Continuum'. Pretty decent sci-fi cop series out of Canada. The hot green chick from the Star Trek reboot is in it...so it's got that going for it. Plus time travel and the smoking man from X-Files.

Give it a whirl if....you...can...find somebody that taped it? That's what I did, yeah.

The last few seasons of the original show, with the new cast, were pretty damn good. If nothing else, it was fun watching Jack McCoy tell Cutter "yeah, I know I did this highly unethical, borderline illegal thing in the past that you now want to do. But you can't. Do as I say, not as I do."

Yeah, there were good moments, but the show overall felt very flat. I think going through 90-billion ADAs didn't help. Also seeing Jerry Orbach clearly getting sicker as the show progressed was heartbreaking.

I've been watching it as well. I like that the "bad guys" are the ones fighting to prevent corporations from taking over the government.

Yeah, I guess I'm getting old and cranky, but I turned off the show the moment the young punk whiz kid showed up.

Can we just get Honkbag on the air already?

Indeed. Very interesting twist in the current economic climate. Looking forward to season 2. They've laid down some compelling story threads that I'd like to see through.

At least I didn't go with the same pic.

The first time I saw the commercial for it, I thought it was a parody commercial by something like SNL. I figured there was no way it was a real show. To make it even more depressing, that damn monkey will be making $12,000 per episode. If the show gets a full season, that ends up being over $260,000.

So much THIS.

Maybe now will be the perfect time to bring back teh Geico cavemen!
