Revolution as best Network TV series??????
ReplyDelete*** jaw hits the floor
Revolution? REVOLUTION?! WTF?! It's not a horrible show, but it's far from being as good as the other nominies! What were they thinking?!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with the Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston, Anna Torv and Yvonne Strahovski wins, but Revolution as the best Network TV series..... Seriously? Not even close...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all winners!
ReplyDeleteI like Revolution and I agree there are better shows on TV (don't know what the other nominees were).
ReplyDeleteI don't take Awards, any, that seriously. Some of the most boring/poor acted/badly written entertainment gets awards and some of the best are ignored. Of course, it all depends on tastes, I guess. Even with critics. I doubt even they are truly impartial judges.
Revolution as Best Network Television Series? Seriously? All I see about it (I stopped watching after 5 episodes) is people making fun of it. Weird.
ReplyDeleteBut the fact that Anna Torv won for Fringe kind of balances it out. Although I would've liked to see John Noble win something for his final appearance as Walter Bishop.
Hallelujah Anna Torv finally won!!!
ReplyDeleteI think John Nobel deserved a win for his portrayal of Walter Bishop over Kevin Bacon in The Following.
They blew best network series,its good but not the best by any stretch..
WOOOAH for Teen Wolf!
ReplyDeleteHasn't Anna won the Saturn Award for Best Actress four years in a row?
ReplyDeleteYou can see the all the nominees here: http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/02/39th-annual-saturn-awards-nominations.html
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv has won it 4 years running
ReplyDelete4 years! Nope i guess i forgot..
ReplyDeleteI was just reminded.
ReplyDeleteRevolution was up against a lot of sci-fi/fantasy shows. Of course it'll win. The people who give awards still seem to avoid those genres on TV.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying it's a good choice but that Revolution's success, especially in the fall, made it more likely that other networks would start looking at genre shows again. Given the fact that genre is often either not picked up or cancelled prematurely that is a big deal for this section of Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteQuite frankly, at the risk of being downvoted like crazy, I will say that they really had no good choice. Elementary barely held on enough to be renewed and was a disappointment in the ratings. The Following was a disaster as far as plot goes and was critically panned by the end of its run. Fringe was decent but it was a pale shadow in comparison to earlier seasons. I don't watch OUaT but it sounds like a good part of that fandom is unhappy with season 2. Revolution made questionable casting choices and had some plots that were simply to hard to believe even in genre TV. Supernatural was a disaster from 10 minutes in to the season and produced its single worst season of all by a wide margin.
In fact, I would argue that the only successful genre network show this year wasn't even nominated. Arrow was superior to all of these in my opinion and produced the best finale of the year. I don't consider it a youth-oriented show so I am surprised it was put in that category instead. It did struggle in the middle and sometimes the acting was weak, but as far as overall enjoyment of story goes as well as ratings for its network, Arrow is hands down the winner for me. Here's hoping that next year, with its overabundance of new genre shows, will be a treat for the sci fi and fantasy fan. This year was very weak.
I'm not sure why Elementary was even on the list, change the names and it is just another cop show. It doesn't seem a sci-fi/fantasy/etc genre show to me.
ReplyDeleteElementary and Revolution should have been replaced with Grimm and Person of Interest. Either of those shows would have been far better choices for this award.
The science in Revolution is so laughable (the writing and most of the acting wasn't any better) that I find it unfathomable that a sci-fi organization would give them an award. I think shows like Walking Dead Game of Thrones, and the various vampire shows deserve far more credit for the boost in genre shows. Especially considering that most of the new genre shows next season are supernatural, not sci-fi. Of all the new genre shows coming, only "The 100" has anything at all in common with Revolution.
I too was extremely puzzled by Elementary's inclusion since it is neither sci fi nor fantasy. There were a couple of other questionable entries for me too. I agree that Person of Interest should have replaced Elementary since there are actual sci fi elements in it. While Grimm did not have as good of a second season as first, it was superior to most of the shows nominated so I am not sure who ticked off the academy in that show.
ReplyDeleteI would say that the Walking Dead was the single biggest reason why networks have a lot of genre pilots now. However it could not be nominated in this category and Revolution proved that genre could be successful ratings wise as a network show, not cable. Regardless of what people think of Revolution's quality, it did help show that genre is worth the gamble again and after a string of canceled genre shows, I welcome that.
I am happy if network execs interpreted Revolution's ratings that way. I interpreted it as even a show as poorly written as Revolution could get high ratings if it is on after The Voice.
ReplyDeleteIf you are right, then my concern is that when Revolution (in its new 8pm time slot) gets yanked mid-season, those same execs will get nervous about any other new genre shows they have in the works.
I'm nervous about Revolution's move also, but there are so many genre pilots this season that if any of them are break out hits it should solidify the genre as gamble worthy. SHIELD should especially be one to watch because it has so much buzz already.
ReplyDeleteErm, the Saturn Awards are only for Sci-Fi/Fantasy shows/films.
ReplyDeleteNeither of the shows you mentioned or sci-fi/fantasy or horror, which are the genres the Saturn Awards honor.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I was hoping Arrow would win instead.
ReplyDeleteI was rooting for Arrow for "Best Youth-Oriented Series", sad it didnt win.
ReplyDeleteYeah, 2013/14 will be the biggest year for genre tv ever, by far.
ReplyDeleteShield will almost certainly be a major success. I have high hopes for Almost Human, I liked its trailer better than any of the other new shows.
For the first time ever, bad genre shows will have a hard time surviving because of the massive amount of genre competition. I just hope not too many good ones also get killed by the competition.
With this huge influx of sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural shows, is there some type of show that is taking a major hit? Cop shows? Comedies? Or is it more of an even drop across the board? Someone must have taken a look at the numbers and done a write-up, I just haven't seen it.
Person of Interest is definitely sci-fi, due to the self-aware AI. Yes, it's a cop/hero show, but the premise is sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteElementary on the other hand has no fantasy/sci-fi, and no more horror than any other cop show, and it somehow got nominated.
lol Shows how much I pay attention to awards.
ReplyDeleteOops. I don't pay attention to awards so I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteyay for Yvonne
ReplyDeleteBest Network Television Series: "Revolution"?? WTH???
ReplyDeleteHappy Yvonne won. After five years of getting no recognition on Chuck and doing a great job on Dexter, she deserved it.
ReplyDeleteYay for Anna Torv.. Well deserved. John Noble should have won Actor
ReplyDeleteeven if so, it's a poor reason for giving Revolution that award. I mean it, the show is not as bad as some people say, but it's far from great or groundbreaking. The final season of Fringe was good enough to win; Supernatural was another choice too, Elementary and The Following I'd understand, even Once Upon a Time, but choosing Revolution is really puzzling, as some actors really struggle in the show and the writting is often filled with clichés and some chessy moments. If being a rating success for genre TV is the reason, the award would have been a better fit for OUAT as it usually outperfomed Revolution
