May 15, 201213 yr Author I think Revenge will be fine in the fall - if Once is getting 3.0-3.5s as I imagine it will then Revenge should be getting 2.5s+ but what about when awards show season begins in February? We'll see. I'm pretty sure Last Resort will BOMB something hard in that Thursday at 8 slot. From January, How To Live With Your Parents and The Family Tools take over the Tuesdays 8-9pm slot from DWTS results. Oh GOD I just realised Apt 23 is up against New Normal and The Mindy Project. Good luck ABC! Edited May 15, 201213 yr by ✞✞✞
May 15, 201213 yr Haha, Apt. 23 is DOOMED, oh well. Any news on where BoP will be slotted in, or is it in the same slot as it currently has? (or have I just missed it)
May 15, 201213 yr Author It's not been scheduled yet so somewhere in midseason unless something in the fall flops hardcore and needs replacing... does BoP have any episodes leftover?
May 15, 201213 yr I don't believe so, they extended the run of S2 twice, it originally had a 13 episode order too, then got upped to 17 and finally 20.
May 15, 201213 yr Author Mistresses launching in May. Not sure I can wait a whole year for that but OH WELL. 13 episodes for Body of Proof in midseason. Less repeats/gaps for Revenge. Most shows will go on iTunes or similar sites before they premiere on TV.
May 15, 201213 yr Aliens? 'The Neighbors' looks..not great and they're giving this the best lead-in that the network has to offer? It could be compatible because it's a family comedy but there are at least a couple of others that could've worked just as well. '666 Park Avenue' looks really really good and I love what they now have going on Sunday night. 'Nashville' looks pretty good but I'd need to see where they go with it. Might pass on 'Last Resort', not convinced that this is the show to bring joy to the Thursday 8/7c slot.
May 15, 201213 yr Author 666 Park Avenue - that's how you do a trailer. Full of intrigue. Looks sexy as hell too. Last Resort - surprisingly this looks the better of two male lead dramas... still not sure it's my cup of tea though. Mistresses - lots of scenes I recognise from the British show but this still looks like good soapy fun. Nashville - looks like a proper stinker. Maybe just a bad trailer? The autotune comment just made me cringe, it sounds like they've been scraping the barrel of generic music industry put-downs. If it wasn't for Connie I'd say this would last about six episodes. We'll see... Red Widow - this is going to be quite something. I can feel it. Sod having to wait til Feb/March though! Zero Hour - eh... the lead guy seems a bit weak? And not sure how riveting a mystery about a clock could be but I'll give it a shot. A mixed selection there.
May 15, 201213 yr Author Click! ALL of the comedies look vile. I didn't even make it through the Malibu Country trailer.
May 16, 201213 yr Red Widow and 666 Park Avenue are the only ones I'll be checking out. That is a crappy slate of comedies and Nashville looks all kinds of horrific.
May 16, 201213 yr The Good Wife staying on Sundays! I expected CBS to give it the Friday deathslot with Blue Bloods. The Good Wife vs Revenge then. Two and a Half Men moves to Thursdays after The Big Bang Theory. Ha!
May 16, 201213 yr Author CBS have no fewer than ELEVEN crime dramas on the schedule. That's just downright depressing.
May 16, 201213 yr So after struggling to launch a new comedy out of their best lead-in they've decided to put an established hit after TBBT? Interesting move. Pleased that this all leads to 'Partners' getting a slot after HIMYM. 'Elementary' has been given a good slot, it'll probably open decently before people decide whether it's any good or not. I expected 'The Good Wife' to either be moved to Friday or 10pm so it's quite a nice surprise to see it staying put (apart from the fact that the two best shows on TV are now going against each other).
May 16, 201213 yr Very steady schedule for CBS there. I shall not be checking out Elementary, it's wrong on so many different levels. Of the 11 crime shows on CBS I don't watch Person Of Interest and Blue Blood. What can I say? I'm a little bit of a crime whore.
May 16, 201213 yr Person Of Interest is the BEST! Well, it or The Mentalist. I can't say the sound of any of the new stuff sounds up to much either.
May 16, 201213 yr The Mentalist moved to Sundays?! :o Even MORE TV shows to watch on Holy Monday mornings now.
May 16, 201213 yr Author I do think the new slate sound a little bit less generic than the usual CBS fare to be honest. I can imagine Made In Jersey being okay and I think Vegas could be really quite interesting. Anything has to be better than bloody endless CSI variants.
May 16, 201213 yr Person Of Interest is the BEST! Well, it or The Mentalist. I can't say the sound of any of the new stuff sounds up to much either. After all of the positive comments on here I shall be checking it out, eventually. It's somewhere on the legendary list. I agree that The Mentalist is bloody GLORIOUS! So much fun!
