Unless his new show isn't greenlit to series - or gets cancelled real early on - its no surprise at all that MGG is only making a 'cameo' appearance in the 'new' CM; so far, at least.

I really gotta stop putting off reading the books. As much as I like the TV series, the book that a TV series or movie(s) are based off is almost always better.

On one hand, with this news, it sucks that Reid will never appear again on CM - unless its a tiny cameo at the end of this CM; Evolution series. But on the other hand, it'll be interesting see MGG headline a different series while playing a character that - by descriptions - won't be too extremely radically different than the Reid persona we knew him as for 15 years, only with a very increased libido & confidence in dealing with women he's interested in. Of course, this news might turn into nothing at all in the end. Not all pilots (& series) are picked up by the networks. Hope it is does turn into a success, but who really knows.

Sounds like getting Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) and/or working around his schedule is going to be the real fly in the ointment, with him already involved in two other series currently. I will still watch a new season of Ted Lasso, but it would take some real adjusting to no JT and the lack of stuff like "poopeh".

Discovery network of channels has started showing ads for the new season (8) premiere, which starts on August 14. Maybe I am mistaken, but the woman does not look like Jessica Chobot. Is it really someone different, and if so, why?

Between these sneak peeks and the synopsis of the episodes, even without watching I'm starting to wonder what this show even is anymore. - PLI/UST/jealousy relationship drama angst between team members (Garvez) - Prentiss getting high to deal - Rossi being driven to delusion about a criminal etc. Why does it feel like this show is turning into a prime time streaming soap opera?!

Not watching, just following along on the forums - that said ..... Hell of a time for Will to be "too busy" to make any screen time this season, what with his wife dealing that deepfake porn stuff. Unless they are going it on purpose, by manufacturing the tension to fully drive them apart because 'he wasn't there/around when she needed him most' kinda thing. I've long since given up trying to understand the CM writers room, no sense doing it now.

It seems for however long they leave it that way, it'll be "Ghost Adventures Saturdays", as that's what's on for 20+ hours again today. Bagans, and a lot of GAC by extension, are the worst. I can barely stand forcing myself to watch 1 full episode, let alone 20+ in a row. Even though its way overplayed, kinda ticked they are now running The Osbournes Want to Believe marathons on Sundays now instead of the previous P;CoC marathons. Turned the P;CoC marathons on just to have something on the TV while doing other things, and occasionally stop to laugh at the 'experts' trying to tell people that the obviously faked footage is so totally 100% real and completely believable.

I'm sure I have thought about it offhandedly in the past, but I stopped to actually realize what makes most of this 'caught footage' likely very fake. When something visually is caught on camera/video, 99.95% of the time the caught footage is 'directly centered' in the frame. Almost every clip, or set of clips, its directly centered on the supposed 'paranormal activity' without fail. Even when moving just beforehand, either intentionally or gravity changing the camera's angle, every non-locked in place recording device always stops exactly where it needs to bullseye the action. Some of the time, sure ok. But nearly 100% of the time? I seriously doubt the validity of most of those claims.

Or drive the best ones away - or IOW, cancel them - IE Destination Fear, Ghost Brothers, Portals to Hell, etc. Pretty much the only game left in town - on cable television - is Ghost Adventures. Bagans is an egotist of the highest order that is too insecure to allow competition. Maybe Ghost Hunters still new occasionally, but that's about it. Jack Osbourne has some specials or short series here and there, every now and again, but all the rest of the ones that people like got deep-sixed by the networks for reasons other than just viewing numbers, at least that's what the rumors say.

Cool news on already getting the renewal for s18, aka s3 of CM: Evolution. Maybe foolishly holding my breath for something that won't ever happen, but if it isn't already in the plans/works for this season, they have to get MGG to at the very least make a cameo appearance next season. Would be kinda nuts if they got 3 (at least) seasons after the initial 15-season run and arguably the 'face of the franchise' never made even a quick guest appearance in its further continuance.

Who's the guy between Rossi and Prentice on the poster?

A damn shame they couldn't work out getting MGG back again, cause I'd have liked to check out "SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson" in the recurring role as Prentiss' higher up at the FBI.

Ok, I can side-eye this series with the best of them, but they have gone waaaaay tooo far this time. New episode airing tonight (7.2) and that supposed "Bigfoot" in Colorado, caught by train-riders? All the commenters are "That is 1000% totally a Bigfoot!!!". L.O.L., holy shit AYFKM?!?! That was sooo obviously a man in a hairy suit it was totally and utterly RIDICULOUS!!! Unbelievable the total BS they think that they can try to fool us with.
