2016-2017 Fall & Winter New TV shows

[Taddy Mason]

What channel is travelers?? Human's season 2 hasn't started yet for AMC, or has it??

It's on Netflix. I haven't caught it yet. Just found Peep Show and have been going through that.

1/8: The CW has given early renewals to all 7 of its returning fall shows: Arrow, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The Flash, Jane the Virgin, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Supernatural. A decision has not yet been made on the network's remaining programs. (Is the CW stuck with Supergirl and Legends due to Arrow and Flash "connection"? Both still suck.) @The Q @calsnowskier

1/6: CBS has extended new sitcoms Great Indoors and Man With a Plan by three episodes each (to 22 total) and Kevin Can Wait by an extra two episodes (to 24). (I bailed on all three)

1/5: Those Who Can't (truTV) renewed for a 3rd season.

Probably are stuck... BUT the sad thing is that we who love Arrow and Flash still watch the other 2 despite them not being great... I am actually semi enjoying supergirl... it may have the best geek easter eggs than the others...

Supergirl rocks.

She's stupid hot.

It's still a comic show.

It crosses with Arrow and Flash....

...did I mention she's super hot?

 

[calsnowskier]

Benoist is hot, but she is a horrid actress. The show is OK, but only as dumb entertainment. LoT is also just background noise. A show centered around time travel is near impossible to do right (Quantum Leap is the only exception I can think of).

I don't think CW is "trapped" by these shows, though. I think they add to the network's image and they get a built in audience BECAUSE of the Flash and Arrow tie-ins. Just like ABC and Netflix get built in audiences with their MCU shows.

Agreed, they could kill off SG or LoT and be ok.

They'd just have those guys come on as guest actors a little bit more than now.

Reflecting on my list. I was way wrong. I only watch two of the twelve. Leathal Weapon & Good Behvior

Same. And Lethal Weapon may not renew

Yes, but why cut the shows? They don't have to make them good, and they will still have a guaranteed audience because of the shared uni(multi)verse.

 

[calsnowskier]

Of the new shows this season, I am watching...

Leathal Weapon - the pilot was actually pretty bad, but I stuck with it because of the good reviews here. It is now OK, but I would not miss it if it were canceled.

Timeline - I only watch this because it is on Hulu. It is actually pretty bad.

Good Place - I really like this show. I don't see it lasting past one season, though, and I hope that is their plan.

Shooter - Not bad. Not must-see yet, but we will see what happens with it when they finish the current arc. I am not sure this is a show that can last past the initial plot.

Son of Zorn - Absolute garbage. It is on Hulu, though, and I have a tv that is already cut, so my choices are limited when I am in that room.

I didn't mean they SHOULD. I just meant they COULD.

What about Sliders? Not strictly time travel, but that was a recurring element.

Can't believe that Great Indoors got extended. After quitting the show, I went back to check it out a few episodes later and ...yea, it still stunk.

 

[calsnowskier]

Absolutely NOT time travel. No paradoxes would result from their actions.

That said, was that show REALLY an example of anything done right? I watched it myself, and enjoyed it. But come on, now. Let's be honest here...

I couldn't make it to the first commercial break. That show sucked real bad.

 

[The Q]

I'm just glad MacGuyver seems to have made it.

It's never gonna win any awards, but the reality is not all TV needs to be like shakespeare. sometimes it's just fun to be entertaining.

 

[The Q]

And just like that they try to ruin young justice with damny hippy PC nonsense.

YOUNG JUSTICE Showrunner Says Season 3 Will Feature An LGBT Character

Here's who we know it's not (due to the shows events):

M'gann & Superboy
M'gann & Lagoon Boy
Nightwing & Zatanna kiss at the end of season 1
Kaldur & Rocket also kiss at the end of season 1
Bumble Bee & Mal are dating and have been since High School
Tim Drake (2nd robin) and Cassie (wonder girl) start dating at the end of season 2
Roy Harper and Cheshire have a kid (this presumably also means that Arsenal is not homo either)

This leaves:

Blue Beetle (despite being a star role in season 2, we still don't know a lot about him)
New Kid Flash (would seem unlikely but since he's from the future, why not?)
Barbara Gordon (highly unlikely since ignoring her and Dick Grayson/Nightwing's history would be absurd)
Beast Boy (would be ignoring one the greatest stories in Teen Titans history to ruin him)
Static (again, very little screen time)

Initially I was gonna guess beast boy since he has little back story and really little air time. But I'm starting to think it's gonna be BB.

Damn hippies!
