Small Talk: The Quiver

[Starfish35]

The Exorcist was their lowest rated show though.  According to TV Series Finale, it was averaging a 0.41.  That would get it cancelled on any network, other than the CW.

[Velocity23]

But FOX claimed they dont care about the conventional rating system ... 

[Starfish35]

"Claimed" being the key word there.

Well they put out a press release. 

[Starfish35]

As I said....;)

[Velocity23]

Its a bloody Friday

[Starfish35]

Quantico got a 0.4 last night, so...not a surprise. 

[Lady Calypso]

This is Bloodbath Friday, clearly. 

I'm just hoping it doesn't end on a complete sour note for me. 

[KenyaJ]

Interesting info. Now that Scandal is over, I don't really watch any scripted ABC shows anymore, but if I did, I'd be nervous.

[lemotomato]

The only cancellation I’m surprised about is Designated Survivor. I thought it was doing well enough to fly under the radar.

I was curious, so I just looked it up.  Looks like it's been getting between 0.5-0.7, with a 0.5 for its most recent episode.

The CW passed on Wayward Sisters: 

[Starfish35]

That's a surprise. I thought that one was almost a sure thing.

Assuming Gotham and Lethal Weapon (both WB) also get cancelled, that means Fox will have no non-Fox productions on their network next season.  All the new shows they've picked up have been 20th Century Fox Productions.  Consequence of the sale to Disney maybe?

That’s what I’m wondering though I thought it would happen after the sale was finalized. 

[scarynikki12]

DS has huge international appeal but I guess that’s not enough this time. No complaints from me because it never settled on what story it wanted to tell after the initial premise. 

[Velocity23]

[Lady Calypso]

I'm sad about Wayward Sisters. I was actually really excited to have an all female cast where a lot of them were truly likable. Plus, WS already has a built-in fanbase. If they pick up the stupid Hope spinoff, I'll be a little pissed.

Whiskey Cavalier Starring Scott Foley, Lauren Cohan Ordered to Series at ABC

Quote

ABC has formally ordered Whiskey Cavalier — the action dramedy starring Scandal’s Scott Foley and The Walking Dead's Lauren Cohan — to series. 

The series, from writer/executive producer Dave Hemingson and executive producer Bill Lawrence, is described as a high-octane, thriller that follows the adventures of tough but tender FBI super-agent Will Chase (codename: “Whiskey Cavalier”), played by Foley. Following an emotional break-up, Chase is assigned to work with badass CIA operative Francesca “Frankie” Trowbridge (codename: “Fiery Tribune”), played by Cohan. Together, they lead an inter-agency team of flawed, funny and heroic spies who periodically save the world (and each other) while navigating the rocky roads of friendship, romance and office politics.

[KenyaJ]

I adore Scott Foley, so I'm in.

A late entrant in the race, Julie Plec’s new project set in The Vampire Diaries/The Originals universe, Legacies, also scored a series order. I hear it came down to that and the Supernatural spinoff Wayward Sisters, and the network opted to go with Legacies based off a script by Plec and encouraged by the solid ratings for the final season of The Originals. Wayward Sisters is not going forward.

I’m trying to figure out who wanted the Hope spinoff when we’ve only had four episodes with her. Why another spinoff of a spinoff? Also was WS too much estrogen for The CW? I thought the backdoor pilot did very well and got a positive reaction. So I’m a bit confused. I just haven’t heard a lot about the Hope spinoff to begin with so I’m just disappointed. 

[scarynikki12]

The network seems to adore Julie Plec, and probably are trying to recreate the Vampire Diaries heyday, so that's probably where that decision comes from.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I love Felicity Smoak, Jessica Huang and Elizabeth McCord!

Although it's kinda scary to see it's only ranked 10th out of 11 comedies! The comedy market must be competitive!

I wonder what this will mean for Lauren's character on TWD. Will Maggie just get killed off in the premiere of S9? That'd be weird since the final episode of S8 seemed to be establishing a big plotline with her, Daryl and Jesus. Kinda think TWD has gone on too long, anyway. So many boring, filler episodes.

More ABC news: Station 19, Black-ish, and surprisingly, For the People, have all been renewed.

They did! I'd rather Wayward Sisters was picked up. I guess it's more important to CW to continue the lame VD verse, then the universe of its longest running show

According to Deadline:

The pickup for Whiskey Cavalier means that Cohan won’t be able to return to The Walking Dead full time but she has been cleared to do multiple episodes during her hiatus from the ABC show. She still will need to negotiate a deal for that.

[Starfish35]

I'm sorry, @Lady Calypso. :(

Deception cancelled

I hope Carina gets some media training before she tells OG Roswell fans to fork off when they inevitably compare the two shows.

And NBC has cancelled Rise.

Hulu passes on rescuing Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[JJ928]

I never got into the original charmed, but I'll be watching the reboot. I really like Madeleine Mantock, she was great in ITB. 

[Lady Calypso]

I loved Charmed and I still consider it one of my favourite shows ever (even though I know now that it really wasn't that good), so I'm wary with the reboot and heading into it cautiously. 

[Starfish35]

Assuming the CW is done with its orders, it's interesting that, after everything, they only ended up picking up one more new show than last year.  

About For The People - I didn't realize that was a Shondaland show.  That's probably why it got saved, despite its ratings.

[JJ928]

NBC saved Brooklyn 99!! I’m so happy!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Rescued by NBC (!), Renewed for 13-Episode Season 6

Quote

In the immortal words of Captain Holt: Hot damn! 

NBC has picked up the cancelled Fox comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, ordering a 13-episode Season 6, TVLine has confirmed. The full cast, led by Andy Samberg, is set to return. 

***** 

“Ever since we sold this show to Fox, I’ve regretted letting it get away, and it’s high time it came back to its rightful home,” NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. “Mike Schur, Dan Goor and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC, and we’re all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the Nine-Nine!”

I am so relieved and happy that NBC picked up Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It's my go-to happy show, and I love it so much!

[Delphi]

 Lord,  this cancellation season is fucking with my heart so bad.  From sad to relieved to sad blessed with Brooklyn 99.  Then right after reading about Lucifer.  Being scared for Gotham.   Missing the Mick.  Another season of arrow,  with Colton but minus Willa.   I have absolutely no idea what to feel. 

[scarynikki12]

In line at HVFF. On the one hand it’s way more crowded than last year (they paired with Walker Stalker so it makes sense). On the other it means I can start my Comic Con training early this year.
