I think Agent Carter will go down. It got lucky to be renewed in the first place.

It was a pretty disappointing show that got boring real fast. I will fucking kill everyone at Marvel if Agent Carter gets cancelled and the SHIELD spinoff goes through though.

[CJohn]

I doubt the SHIELD spin-off will ever see the light of day.

NBC RENEWS HIT DRAMA SERIES "BLINDSPOT" FOR SECOND SEASON

 

Sullivan Stapleton and Jaimie Alexander Lead Stellar Cast as Tattoo Mysteries Continue

 

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – Nov. 9, 2015 – NBC has ordered a second season of its hit freshman drama Blindspot, the #1 new series of the fall in the 18-49 demo.

 

With Sullivan Stapleton as an FBI agent who's not to be messed with and breakout star Jaimie Alexander now firmly established as a TV leading lady, Blindspot has proven to be both a ratings and critical smash. Since its Sept. 21 launch, the series has dominated the 10 p.m. Monday timeslot.

 

The Wall Street Journal says "Blindspot manages to exert instant powers of seduction and keep a viewer rapt," TV Guide says the series is "a sleek and exciting showcase for Jaimie Alexander's elaborately inked ninja," the Los Angeles Times writes that "Blindspot comes out of the box (or that darn bag) with tantalizing, high-energy grace" and USA Today calls it one of the top five shows of the fall.

 

"We are over the moon with the success of Blindspot, and want to thank our producers and amazing cast for creating one of the most riveting shows on television. Jaimie and Sullivan have done an amazing job of ratcheting up the tension each week in trying to unravel the mystery of Jane's tattoos," said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. "We literally can't wait to see what the second season will bring."

 

Blindspot is averaging a 3.7 rating, 12 share in adults 18-49 and 12.7 million viewers overall so far this season, according to "most current" averages from Nielsen Media Research through the season's opening six weeks, making it the #1 new series of the new fall season in 18-4.  Blindspot is undefeated in the time period so far this season versus its broadcast competition in adults 18-49 and is outrating its ABC and CBS competition combined in that key demo.

 

Blindspot is also one of the most time-shifted shows on television, growing by +71% so far this season in adult 18-49 rating going from its next-day "live plus same day" rating to "live plus seven day Nielsens" (from a 2.65 to a 4.54) and by more than 5.7 million viewers overall (9.3 million to 15.1 million).

 

A beautiful woman, with no memories of her past, is found naked in Times Square with her body fully covered in intricate tattoos. Her discovery sets off a vast and complex mystery that immediately ignites the attention of the FBI, who begin to follow the road map on her body to reveal a larger conspiracy of crime while bringing her closer to discovering the truth about her identity.
 
The cast includes Sullivan Stapleton (300: Rise of an Empire, Strike Back), Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Broadchurch, Without a Trace), Rob Brown (Treme), Audrey Esparza (Black Box), Ukweli Roach (The Royals) and Ashley Johnson (Much Ado About Nothing).

 

Writer Martin Gero (Bored to Death, L.A. Complex) serves as executive producer along with Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Mysteries of Laura, The Flash), Sarah Schechter (The Mysteries of Laura, The Flash), Mark Pellington (Cold Case) and Marcos Siega (The Following). Pellington directed the pilot episode.

Wicked City cancelled: Fall's First Officially Axed Show

 

Three episodes have aired; production has halted, with the 8th episode still being filmed.  Shark Tank reruns will fill WC's timeslot.

[filmlover]

I watched the first 5 minutes of the pilot for Wicked City and decided that was enough. The rest of the world should be so lucky that they didn't have to watch even that much of it in the first place.

Not CJohn getting clocked with his prediction on the cancellation of BlindSpot!

"BONES" RENEWED FOR FINAL FAREWELL SEASON ON FOX

Series Will Countdown to Finale With 12 Episodes to Air in the 2016-2017 Season

BONES Returns for Its Spring Premiere Thursday, April 14 on FOX

BONES, the long-running comedic procedural beloved by millions of fans around the world, will return for a final farewell 12th season on FOX, it was announced today by Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs, Fox Television Group. The 12-episode run will celebrate the inventive series and bring the storylines of Brennan (Emily Deschanel), Booth (David Boreanaz) and the Jeffersonian-FBI team to a close, allowing the show's loyal fans to say goodbye to these indelible characters. When BONES ends its run, the series will have completed 246 original episodes, making it one of the longest running FOX series ever.

"In times like these, marked by instability and doubt, it's comforting to know the world can count on at least one dependable beacon of stability. Apparently, that beacon is BONES," said creator and executive producer Hart Hanson. "It just shows what you can do with an amalgam of genius cast, amazing crew, cunning writers, stalwart studio, sweat, a tough economy, a mercurial network, determination, luck, magic, miracles and the most loyal audience in the world."

"This is for the fans! Thank you to everyone at Fox and, of course, Dana and Gary – for all your support," said series star and producer David Boreanaz. "Thank you to Hart, Stephen, Ian [Toynton], Michael and Jonathan. Also to the crew and cast for their countless support along the way! And I couldn’t have done it without you, Emily!"

"I am thrilled the show will have the ending it deserves for all of our amazing, loyal fans!," added series star and producer Emily Deschanel.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to have another season, so we can give the show, characters and fans the end they so richly deserve," said executive producers and showrunners Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson. "Also knowing there is a Season 12, we can now write the most rewarding Season 11 finale possible - one we hope will leave our fans excited for what’s to come in this final season of BONES."

"BONES has been part of the fabric of our network and studio for over a decade, and during that time it has attracted one of the most devoted fan bases we've ever seen. So it was extremely important to us and to Hart, the producers and the cast that we send the show off in a way that gives those loyal fans a meaningful and satisfying conclusion," said Walden and Newman. "We'd like to thank Emily and David for anchoring this extraordinary group of talented people, as well as Hart, Stephen Nathan, Barry Josephson and this season's showrunners, Michael Peterson and Jonathan Collier, for delivering such an incredible series season after season."

BONES returns for its spring premiere on Thursday, April 14 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Picking up after the explosive fall finale, the all-new episode, "The Death in the Defense," finds Hodgins (TJ Thyne) eight weeks into his rehabilitation and forced to navigate life in a wheelchair. Meanwhile, Brennan and Booth investigate the death of a public defender who had multiple defendants from previous cases with motives to kill her.

In the series, Brennan, a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, D.C. and writes novels on the side, and her FBI partner, Booth, have taken on cases other law enforcement can't solve and proven to be a formidable partnership, both at work and at home. Over the course of the series, Brennan has devoted herself to her career, to Booth, with whom she's had two children, and to her team at the Jeffersonian. They include best friend Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin), an artist who specializes in reconstructing facial features and crime scenes; Angela's husband, Hodgins, a conspiracy theorist and expert on insects, spores and minerals, who is affectionately known as "the slime and bug guy"; Dr. Camille "Cam" Saroyan (Tamara Taylor), the street-smart and centered coroner; and Booth's most recent colleague at the FBI, Special Agent James Aubrey (John Boyd), a young, intrepid FBI agent with a voracious appetite for solving crime, junk food and career advancement.

Utilizing a wide swathe of skills, and using human remains as their roadmap, this exceptional team has cracked some of the toughest cases to cross their lab tables and, in the process,escaped near-death experiences on multiple occasions. Inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs, the series also has explored more ways for human remains to have been discovered than ever thought imaginable.

With Brennan leading the way as the top professional in the field of forensic anthropology, BONES has inspired young girls around the world to consider a career in science. At the same time, having stacked up more episodes than the number of bones in the human body (206!), the series has helped viewers distinguish between the patella (kneecap) and the phalanges (bones in human fingers).

The series also has proved to be a magnet for guest stars, including TV legend Betty White, '80s music icon and Tony Award-winning artist Cyndi Lauper (Kinky Boots), Zooey Deschanel (NEW GIRL), Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Michael B. Jordan (Creed), Stephen Fry (24: Live Another Day), Sara Rue (Popular), ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons, Tina Majorino (Veronica Mars), Freddie Prinze, Jr. (24), Sam Trammell (True Blood), Morris Chestnut (ROSEWOOD), Penny Marshall (Laverne & Shirley), Taylor Kinney (Chicago Fire), Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead), Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), David Alan Grier (In Living Color), Rider Strong (Boy Meets World), NFL star Ronde Barber, FAMILY GUY's Stewie Griffin and SLEEPY HOLLOW's Nicole Beharie and Tom Mison.

BONES is from Far Field Productions and Josephson Entertainment in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Hart Hanson. Hanson, Barry Josephson, Stephen Nathan, Randy Zisk, Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson are executive producers. "Like" BONES on Facebook @ facebook.com/Bones.

USA NETWORK'S ICONIC HIT SUMMER SERIES "ROYAL PAINS" HEADS TO THE HAMPTONS FOR EIGHTH AND FINAL SEASON

 

The Universal Cable Productions Series Bids Adieu with Eight New Episodes – Including Its 100th Episode – Beginning Wednesday, May 18

 

NEW YORK – March 10, 2016 – USA Network gives its viewers one last dose of ROYAL PAINS when the hit drama airs its eighth and final season beginning Wednesday, May 18 at 10pm ET/PT with eight all-new episodes. The esteemed summer series, from Universal Cable Productions and creator and executive producer Andrew Lenchewski and executive producer Michael Rauch, has captivated a loyal fan base and consistently ranked as a top 10 series across all key demos on its night for all seven seasons.

 

In its final season, ROYAL PAINS will celebrate the distinguished honor of crossing the 100th episode milestone midway through the season, and will also include a visit to Hong Kong and a unique musical episode featuring several new and returning guest stars.

 

"Under the direction of talented showrunners Michael Rauch and Andrew Lenchewski, our entire ensemble cast led by Mark Feuerstein, and amazing crew, ROYAL PAINS took viewers on a remarkable, unforgettable journey for eight wonderful seasons," said Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal. "While summer in the Hamptons may never be the same, this last season promises to be an epic ride."

 

"Eight seasons of unadulterated joy! Michael, Chewy, Mark and the entire ROYAL PAINS team have been a joy to work with since day one," said Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. "We will thank them forever for creating such a wonderful way to spend our summers."

 

"It's with great sadness, but even greater thankfulness, that we prepare for our final summer sunsets as ROYAL PAINS comes to an end. We couldn't have imagined a more talented and dedicated writers' room, cast, or crew, and we couldn't have asked for better partners than USA Network and Universal Cable Productions," said creator and executive producer Andrew Lenchewski and executive producer Michael Rauch. "We want to thank Bonnie Hammer, Chris McCumber, Jeff Wachtel and every other member of our network and studio family for tirelessly supporting us over eight magical seasons, and more importantly, for giving us the opportunity to complete this series on our own terms. We'll always have The Hamptons."

 

ROYAL PAINS' final season will explore pivotal life decisions for all of the staff at HankMed, and with everyone's focus pulled in various directions, the future of the business is at stake.

After years in the Hamptons as everyone's favorite concierge doctor, Hank (Feuerstein) must decide if his professional fulfillment equals his personal fulfillment. Evan (Paulo Costanzo) and Paige (Brooke D'Orsay) endure challenging marital decisions and must examine what family really means to them.

 

Meanwhile, a number of life events complicate Divya's (Reshma Shetty) career aspirations. Jeremiah (Ben Shenkman) must choose between research and patient care; and just as Eddie (recurring guest star, Henry Winkler) has earned the trust of Hank and Evan, they discover he still has secrets that can rock their world. All the while, Boris (recurring guest star, Campbell Scott) makes a series of life-altering decisions that could change the group dynamic forever.

 

A special musical episode will feature guest stars Christine Ebersole and Cloris Leachman. When Ms. Newberg's (Ebersole) life-long best friend, Annette, (Leachman) visits the Hamptons, she begins seeing every situation around her as a musical number. While Hank attempts to diagnose what is wrong with her, everyone at HankMed bursts into song and dance.

 

This season also brings back some of the most influential patients and characters including Divya's husband, Raj (Rupak Ginn), Mark's on and off love interest Jill (Jill Flint), Libby (Meredith Hagner), and General William Collins (Bob Gunton). Additional prominent guest stars featured in the final season include Annie Potts, Teri Polo, Sebastian Roche, Dan Lauria, Constance Wu, Hal Linden, Ana Ortiz and Maria Dizzia.

 

Since ROYAL PAINS' 2009 debut, critics hailed the series with Entertainment Weekly calling the show "...one of cable's most charming hours." The series garnered accolades through the years including a People's Choice Award nomination for Favorite Cable TV Comedy, a GLAAD Media Award nomination and finalist placement in the Cynopsis Social Good Awards.

 

Many iconic guest stars have graced the Hamptons during the show's run, including Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, Today host Matt Lauer, Grammy Award-Winner John Legend, NFL wide receiver Greg Jennings, reality stars Khloé Kardashian and Scott Disick, Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi, and NBA Superstar Muggsy Bogues, among others.

 

Season seven delivered strong ratings, averaging over three million total viewers on a L7 basis, and over one million in the key demos (1.03M P18-49; 1.24M P25-54). ROYAL PAINS has accumulated 1.4 million social media fans, with 880K Facebook fans and 557K Twitter followers.
