Cedarpoint1111 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 This is something that I am very excited for. It looks like a grown-up version of Glee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I hope it does well but being on NBC probably means that it won't get great ratings. This show looks pretty expensive so it will need to draw a lot of viewers to be kept on air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire of Themyscira Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You never know. I hope it does soooooo well. <3 Looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 This has The Voice as lead in so it should at least get decent exposure. I'm thinking 3.9 18-49 and 12m viewers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I thought this was gonna be Glee Two so I wrote it off. But the trailer is out of this world and buzz among those who saw the pilot is incredible. Apparently, this is going to be an amazing show. Uma Thurman is also appearing in several episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Looks like this and The Voice are gonna be NBC's babies for the rest of the season. They probably put a lot of money into it. Hope it catches on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 That's cool how they're giving it so much promotion. Hope it ends up bringing lots of long term viewers instead of what happened with The Cape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawasal Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I am not that into musicals, but I am gonna give this one a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Seen this and honestly don`t know what to think. I liked it but not as much as I expected after the trailer. Reason being, it`s really 2 shows in one and, well, if you don`t like one of them, sitting through those scenes will be a chore. IMO, this is in the hands of the wrong network. You can just feel that there`s far juicier show in there trying to break out but can`t because someone thinks that injecting family and moral values in a show that should have been deliciously trashy and racy is a good idea. Well, it is not. I`m sorry but I really don`t care about family shit that happens outside of putting up the musical. Those scenes are what makes the pilot watchable (and some scenes are downright great), not bloody relatives of the key people.Speaking of the cast, like any ensamble show, there are characters who are more interesting and those who are less. Out of,like, 7-8 people that seem to be the focus, I only found 3 that I thought were worth following week after week - Karen, the smalltown girl with big dreams, Ivy, the trashy backburner player who wants to be the star, and Derick, the trashy director. These three will also create a love triangle I think which is for better cause poor Karen has an insufferable boyfriend. The guy is so fuckin supportive that senior citizens could use him as a cane when they go for a walk. And the couple`s scenes are so cringe-worthy and loaded with sugar that you could get diabetes just by watching them. Honestly, if they took sugar bride and groom from the wedding cake and shoot a movie with them, it would be less syrupy than these two.In general, all characters are fuckin stereotypes to the core. Bubbly smalltown girl with amazing talent? Check. Older pro sick of waiting for a chance that never comes and ready to do whatever it takes? Check. Couch casting director? Check. Workacholic woman who can`t find time for her family? Check. Gay bff? Check. Supportive boyfriend? Check. Overbearing parents? Check. Etc. I mean, actors are good but those roles are so cliche and outside of the three mentioned above totally thankless. Like supportive bf and gay bff, how more thankless that shit can be? Oh, and "gay" guy cannot possibly be gay. He`s a fuckin scarecrow. Only frustrated single crones like Sasha Stone are desperate enough to hook up with something like that. Gay men never. Better taste and not desperate enough.So I really have no clue how this will turn out. Family shit is really uninteresting, while stuff related to the musical is good to great. I guess itl`l take me couple more episodes to decide. Edited January 12, 2012 by fishnets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's just the pilot, I haven't seen it yet but even if it is disappointing, there's plenty of time to change it.. Maybe they just wanted the pilot to be accessibly to as many people as possible, including the kids and teenagers who watch Glee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
