Other articles have indicated that ratings have fallen significantly since Mario was rightfully fired. Michael Symon tweeted that the hosts also found out today, so it doesn't appear to be their decision. 16 minutes ago, 2727 said: They should just keep Carla and Clinton as hosts for the third hour. It actually wouldn't surprise me if they kept Clinton. I don't think that Carla would shine in that environment, interviewing or even acting as tge facilitator host isn't her strong suit.

That could be because of his Food Network gig but it's interesting. (Clinton was 10, Carla 12, Mario 17 and Daphne 20). So I'd expect Michael to get another gig. 2 hours ago, OtterMommy said: I wonder...is this because of ratings (I honestly don't know what the ratings are for this show) or because the hosts of The Chew want to move onto other things? I think it's the mixture of ratings and the fact that I think ABC has been wanting to do another hour of GMA for a while. I remember it being discussed when Michael Strahan moved to GMA.

It doesn't sound like Mario had much to do with it either ratings-wise or accusation-wise. Here's an article. ABC actually did an afternoon hour of GMA for awhile, back in 2012, with Josh Elliott (the then news anchor who later left in a contract dispute) & Lara Spencer. It was on after The Revolution, that daytime show with Tim Gunn, Tyler Pennington, Dr. Jennifer Ashton (now ABC's Chief Medical Reporter), Harley Pasternak, & Dr. Tiffanie Davis, all of whom did segments on the show connected to their real life interests/other work besides the TV show (Tim Gunn did fashion/style-type segments; Ty Pennington did building/renovation-type work; Dr. Ashton did health & physical medicine segments; Harley Pasternak was the exercise guy, & Dr. Tiffanie Davis was the psychologist/mental health contributor). The show was canceled after a little less than 6 months on the air. It was replaced by Good Afternoon America. That show, in turn, aired for just a couple months after which General Hospital permanently moved up an hour, from 3PM Eastern to 2PM Eastern. Everything I've read about this says that the cancellation was purely a business decision. It had nothing to do with the original sexual harassment accusations against Mario, or the new NYPD investigation, announced late last week or early this week, into sexual assault claims by (I think) 2 separate women.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone was surprised by this...it isn't even the most racist thing I've seen from her. I get the desire for networks to have shows that different groups of viewers can relate to, but ABC really has no excuse for not seeing this one coming a mile away. 19 Link to comment

Fox cancelled all of its comedies other than its animation block and looked at Roseanne’s initial ratings to resurrect Tim Allen’s show that was cancelled for poor ratings. His staff controls his SM but they jumped on his never blockbuster show because he is conservative and not recognizing that most people tuned into Roseanne in the first few weeks not because she was conservative but because the show was beloved. The same can’t be said for Last Man Standing. It also didn’t take into account that the ratings for Roseanne had been in a steady decline after the first few weeks which is probably what lead to the quick cancellation more than that specific tweet.

I'm not so sure that she wasn't being difficult on top of this. Or maybe a better way to say it is that she's probably as bad in person as on social media. Most of the cast doesn't actually need the reboot. Gilbert started out the reboot doing a lot of press about how she had agreed to go to the network and have Rosanne's back on the creative stuff. Her tweet after the decision alluded to there being "so much more" than just this tweet. The cast likely now remembers that it was actually that bad the last time and its not any better this time. I'm thinking they might have nudged the network to the right decision faster than it might have occurred otherwise. 6 Link to comment

However, the actors knew what they were getting into with Roseanne. Also, most of them will be just fine--I can't see John Goodman or Laurie Metcalf idling in unemployment for long. As for the crew, my guess is that most of them will find homes on new ABC shows. Plus, these people know how the business works. There is no guarantee of employment from year to year. I get that this particular situation is a little different in that the show had been renewed and then canceled for non-ratings related issues (although it sounds like there were backstage rumblings anyway), but shows come and go. It is the nature of the business and everyone knows that.. 2 Link to comment
DollEyes May 30, 2018 Share May 30, 2018 Given Roseanne's Twitter feed alone, ABC not only should have seen her meltdown coming, they never should have rehired her racist, batshit crazy ass in the first place.

Best of all is that Roseanne's blaming her rage-tweeting on Ambien. It's a wonder she didn't say that her shitty rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was the mike's fault, while she's at it. Hey, Roseanne-if you really wanna know who's to blame for yours & hundreds of other people getting fired, here's a hint: try the mirror. 14 Link to comment

paulvdb June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 ‘LA’s Finest’ Picked Up By Canada’s Bell Media For 13 Episodes As Sony Nears U.S. Deal For ‘Bad Boys’ Spin-Off Quote LA’s Finest is go! Canadian broadcaster Bell Media has revealed that it has struck a deal with Sony Pictures Television for the Jessica Alba and Gabrielle Union-fronted spin-off of the Bad Boys film franchise. It will air the 13-episode series on one of its specialty entertainment channels. As Deadline reported yesterday, Sony is in serious negotiations with Charter Communications to become the U.S. home for the series after NBC passed on the $12M pilot. The series stars Union as Syd Burnett, last seen in Miami taking down a drug cartel, having left her complicated past behind to become an LAPD detective and pursue all the fun LA offers. But things get a little crazy when her new partner, Nancy McKenna, played by Alba, a working mom with an equally complex past, learns that Syd’s unapologetic lifestyle might be masking a greater personal secret. These two have completely different approaches and don’t agree on much, but they find common ground when it comes to taking on the most dangerous criminals in L.A. in this action-packed, character-driven drama.

I think sci-fi shows could benefit more from this format as they can kind of be a hard sell anyway. Edited June 16, 2018 by festivus 2 Link to comment
