I like the look of Stalker. NCIS NO gets a big NO from me.
ReplyDeleteYEAH for Stalker and Madam Secretary
ReplyDeleteYay for NCIS: New Orleans and Madam Secretary.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I can emotionally handle yet another Matthew Perry show failing after one season...
Things aren't looking good for a lot of CBS shows.
ReplyDeleteNo How I Met Your Dad, and if it hasn't been picked up yet I doubt it will be after :)
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to only 2 new comedies and dramas? And no HIMYD is a shocker.
ReplyDeleteMaybe CBS finally realized that chances were that HIMYD chances were most likely to bomb
ReplyDeleteHmm. Maggie Q is in Stalker. I guess I know what I'll be watching.
ReplyDeleteUh Oh next will come the cancellation news...
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/TVMoJoe/status/464876734408822784
ReplyDeleteHmm
I'm so happy Maggie Q is back on my TV
ReplyDeleteremember if you dont succeed try try again ;)
ReplyDeleteHehe yep. Are you ready?
ReplyDeleteYawn, looks like CBS is the only network with no new show i will watch. Should have developed a comic-book show
ReplyDeletewhat about renewal/cancellation of dracula ?
ReplyDeleteI gues I'm as ready as I ever will be.
ReplyDeleteNone of these appeal to me, especially NCIS NO.
ReplyDeleteThe only one i wouldn't try is The McCartthy's.
ReplyDeleteMorgan Freeman in a TV show damn im in.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 comedies listed.
ReplyDeletewhat about the remaning renewal and cancellations ?
ReplyDeleteOnly Stalker seems interersting
ReplyDeleteAnother NCIS, come on be original...won't be happy till there is one in every state. Lol. Save the good storylines for the original 2 you have to keep them great!
ReplyDeleteit is written next to ep(executive producer) not a cast member :)
ReplyDeleteThat's NBC.
ReplyDeleteThey'll be coming shortly.
ReplyDeleteI wanted Cuz-Bros to get picked up. The only ones that interest me are Madam Secretary, Scorpion, Stalker and Battle Creek.
ReplyDeleteyeah i deleted that comment as soon as i saw the mistake ;)
ReplyDeleteWho else thinks Madam Secretary is the next Good Wife.
ReplyDeleteYep lol . i read it wrong damn that would have been good. Still i will watch it.
ReplyDeleteno surprise NCIS NO even if rating don't support it...it probably only get 13 episode
ReplyDeleteok ;)
ReplyDeleteI think Madam Secretary sounds a bit like a Veep copy except maybe w/o all the comedy (unless it's supposed to be a comedy). Another NCIS? Stalker sounds good. Glad to have Maggie Q back on my tv & Dean Winters too.
ReplyDeletemee too, last movie i saw him in was bruce almighty. Love him and i also would love to see him in a tv show ;)
ReplyDeleteI expecting some renewal/Cancellation news now...........#saveTheMentalist
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the outpour of negativity that we saw yesterday when it was rumored that HIMYD had been picked up made them a little bit afraid of moving forward with it
ReplyDeleteYay NCIS: New Orleans, The Odd Couple (Matthew's back, yay!) and Stalker (Maggie!!).
ReplyDeleteAlso Scorpion sound quite interesting. Other than that, well, I'll wait for the trailers ;)
What about CSI:Cyber?
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about NCIS: New Orleans!
ReplyDeleteCBS: Forever insisting on being the most boring network.
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek and Stalker looks great.
ReplyDeleteWow I don't think I have ever said this before....
ReplyDeleteAll the series actually sound good to me on some level! XD
I'm sure as more info and clips come out a few will fall off my watch list, but for now I might just check out all 7 of these series....
CBS shows sound terrible.
ReplyDeleteAgreed :)
ReplyDeleteI'll check out Stalker and Battle Creek and I'll give NCIS: Gumbo a few more episodes to grow on me.
ReplyDeleteI think by stating this in print you're automatically eligible to receive an AARP card. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm here for Maggie Q!
ReplyDeletestalker for me. only cause of the cast & kevin w
ReplyDeletePer deadline: " Things are more complicated with 20th Century Fox TV-produced How I Met Your Dad. Just as those false pickup rumors began circulating yesterday, we started to to hear that CBS may not go forward with the high-profile project."
ReplyDeleteI know...
ReplyDeleteIt felt weird typing it... It felt weirder seeing it in print!
Oddly enough, the last couple of years I quit watching all the CBS dramas I used to watch and was left with just Person of Interest and CSI (original flavor).
The thing about CBS I like is they tend to produce a lot of polished and fully formed shows that do not need a lot of time to develop or evolve. The downside is that those shows get old to me after a couple seasons
Looks like they are downsizing comedy from 8 to 6 hours next season
ReplyDeleteStalker, Madam Secretary, Scorpion sounds interesting something I'll watch the rest ugh
ReplyDeleteYep. That's the thing about CBS dramas. Other networks' shows are often slow to build and hit their stride later. CBS' offerings hit the ground running and then tend to peter out after awhile.
ReplyDeleteClearly not picked up. I don't think it went down well, from what I remember hearing.
ReplyDeleteI meant 4 shows in total.
ReplyDeleteThis part is enough for me to give this show a chance:
ReplyDelete"Battle Creek (Drama)*
EPs | Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad), David Shore (House), Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad)
DIRECTOR | Bryan Singer (House)"
By the way, "Stalker" sounds interesting.
Looking forward to Stalker and Battle Creek.
ReplyDeleteYep exactly.
ReplyDeleteI know I won't be watching all 7 of these, but it is just so completely odd for me to find something I like in every offering from any given network!
Usually I can weed out half before I finish reading the creative team and cast! XD
Count yourself lucky. I haven't been nearly as fortunate this pilot season. I don't think there's more than three new shows at any broadcast network that hold any interest for me this year.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the new NBC show I am most looking forward to.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I have not been paying much attention this pilot season like the last few.
ReplyDeleteA lot of these pilots "sound good" to me, but right now my opinions are more generic in nature... "I can see how that would work" or "I like that actor or writer" etc..
Once I get more info I will internalize it and make a more personal decision... and probably end up in same predicament as you ! XD.
Where is How I met your dad?
ReplyDeleteNo word on if its been picked up yet.
ReplyDeleteJust read the Scorpion one properly. That looks good too.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you so negative towards NCIS: New Orleans?
ReplyDeleteI hated the backdoor pilot episode.
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoyed it however I like to see how the series progresses through it's first season. I believe there will be some retooling of certain issues that need to be addressed (like casting, plots and sets). Remember NCIS was given a retool after it's backdoor pilot in JAG in which resulted in character changes (Kate Todd played by Sasha Alexander replaced Vivian Blackadder played by Robyn Lively and the addition of Tim McGee played by Sean Murray), a slight redesign of the NCIS HQ set and changed some other elements. NCIS: Los Angeles was given a retool after it's backdoor pilot in NCIS in which resulted in a character change (Hetty Lange played by Linda Hunt replaced Lara Macy played by Louise Lombard) a new NCIS OSP set and changed some other elements. I have faith that the show will be come better in the first season.
ReplyDeleteWHAT A BOUT INTELLIGENCE PLACES RENEWAL INTELLIGENCE...
ReplyDeleteI want to watch Stalker and Battle Creek
ReplyDeleteHow did I not know about Scorpion?!????
ReplyDeleteHmmm NCIS:NO is almost tempting with SB and PT, but I would much rather see PT more frequently on POI...
Stalker sounds like the best of the bunch though.
I love Morgan Freeman so I'll give a shot to Madam secretary
ReplyDeleteCBS in 10 years will just be the NCIS Network. Yawn.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty lucky this pilot season, all the networks except CBS (who can just go in the corner and be quiet) picked up at least one sci-fi/fantasy project I was interested in. ABC's shows sound worthy of a pilot viewing if nothing else, although I could easily change my mind come next week when we get the trailers. And FOX has a really good lineup as well, and then NBC has Constantine (!) and renewed the shows I was most interested in. I think the 14-15 season is gonna be a lot stronger than 13-14.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely watching Stalker. It'll be great to see Maggie Q on screen again :)
ReplyDeleteScorpion and Stalker are the only ones I may check out.
ReplyDeleteOnly really interested in Battle Creek for Vince, CBS dramas rarely work for me
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, everyone is saying Stalker is looking the best so I think they should put it on the Fall schedule, CBS has too many drama pick ups, I wish there was more space!!
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek has a good cast and I will give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteMadam Secretary, not one I will watch.
NCIS:NO is a big yes, I loved the pilot.
The Odd Couple, just hoping that Matthew can pull this one off.
Scorpion sounds interesting
Stalker I will try because Maggie Q & Dylan are in it.
I am up for 5 of them, just glad I have a hopper that will record 6 shows at once, I am going to need it. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Lucy Liu and Maggie Q are leads on 2 cbs shows makes me happy
ReplyDeletestalker sounds good. and battle creek could be alright too.
ReplyDeleteNot a single one of these sounds interesting to me & I'm on the verge of dropping NCIS & NCIS:LA from my DVR, they are about to join CSI & The Mentalist in my 'Too Blring to Watch' graveyard. I am just done with procedurals, they've been done to death & CBS dramas are just so boring now. I think cable networks are too blame, with shows like Game of Thrones, Banshee, Shameless, I find the main network shows dull & unimaginative.
ReplyDeleteMadam Secretary is the only interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks they passed on HIMYD but are they going with just two comedies? No replacement?
Another NCIS? -,- come on
ReplyDeleteHmm Stalker and Scorpion seems interesting. I hope they don't turn out to be flops.
ReplyDeleteI was a big fan of How To Make It in America and I like Dylan McDermott for being Dylan McDermott so I will try Stalker. Did they really need another NCIS?
ReplyDeleteI prefer NCIS LA to NCIS. But the New Orleans backdoor was terrible imo.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the characters, just STOP with all the sweetness, it was way overboard.
ReplyDeleteWhen do these shows start to run? Or better yet what dates are the 2014 - 2015 series start?
ReplyDeleteNo dates set yet. When they are they will be posted in the Episode Database
