I would sacrifice a good number of things to see that show get closure.
Haha! Delightful.
I think we're only going to start seeing that more and more. This year, however, was significant since one network (Fox) was doing a clean sweep of their schedule, and fortunately in this day and age, other networks and services were willing to pick up their leftovers. What also helped was that the shows that Fox cancelled were already running for a few years, whereas if you look at when NBC did their clean sweep back in 2013-2014, the majority of shows that they cancelled where only around for 1-2 seasons.

I also don't see a problem with including reality and game shows on such a list - they're TV too and episodes of Jersey Shore and Survivor (like it or not) absolutely have had as much of an impact on the industry (if not more) than episodes of The Wire or The Shield or whatever.
Tryin to get some of that Outlander $$$ I see.

If you weren't I would have. Go balls out for the last season.
Ok, so I know I'm late to answering this, but not that Adam Sandler haha
This is just going to end with a cliffhanger again, isn't it? What a ridiculous decision by NBC, if there's one show that doesn't deserve to come back for a finale it's this one.
Cool, I really enjoyed the book.
The movie left out a lot of stuff, especially with
their kid.
Hmmm... I'll have to check out the book. The movie always leaves me in a puddly mess though.
Anyone know why Trial and Error season 1 isnt on streaming websites?
Hulu has the last 5 episodes of season 1, but not the first 8 episodes.
I thought at this point the standard was that when a new season starts, the entire previous season is made available.

I know what you meant by 'worse', but it took me a second. Man, I *devoured* that book...

We should really be using "Yankified" more frequently.
I haven't read The Time Traveler's Wife, but it does sound like a similar concept.

Wow, so they have enough footage to put together some episodes...
This reminds me... did Sepinwall ever start a new podcast? Or is TV podcasting still cancelled like a Fox scifi show?
Nothing new from Sepinwall yet. Hopefully he'll get on it sooner or later.
I don't get why all these TV critics can't do a consistent podcast. I mean, yeah, there's the few remaining staples, but I just want a dedicated TV news/preview podcast where people talk about the screeners they watched and how they die when they do 2 months of TCA every year. lol
Might be a Peak TV issue. Who has time for a podcast when you're constantly buried in screeners?
Seems like about 5 or 6 with only one that he's recorded the VO.
Oh wow. I wonder if it'll all just be diegetic narration, using the ambient sounds and whatever he says on camera to tell the story.
I want a gritty ALF reboot where he starts selling crack in order to get more cats to eat.
Ratsky probably has a better idea than I do. I'm not sure they ever gave a specific reason, but it was delayed right when they were pivoting to their cheap, international co-production strategy. They've complained about it being too expensive, but if that's the case I'm not sure why they didn't just air it and then cancel it.
It doesn't look that expensive. I mean, it's well shot, but it's not extravagant.
Thanks. That's surprising given that it doesn't look like an expensive to produce show. The cast doesn't have big names on it.
It's a weird show. I like how it's shot. I like the premise. And sometimes I enjoy watching it. Sometimes I find it kind of boring, though. I keep flipflopping on it. I'll probably continue.
Wow! I was actually wondering if this was gonna get rebooted when I was watching the Very Special Episodes from Funny or Die. This may be a bit too far.
I'll allow it if they turn him into a sexy Wookie sort of thing.
Yeah, they never said why it went down the way it did. I assume it was because they knew Cinemax 2.0 was coming and they wanted to make sure they had enough shows to fill a Feb-August block of programming. (although that begs the question as to why they didn't also save Tales from the Tour Bus season one for Cinemax 2.0, but perhaps Mike Judge used his clout with Casey Bloys to get it on the air sooner)
I am very much in favor of never letting Bronson pick titles, keep it up Berzeli.
Fresh off of The Mick's cancellation, Kaitlin Olson has already found a new job at another Fox sitcom, but this time it will be a multi-cam where she and Leah Remini play a couple raising two boys:

Lol it definitely seems like the role/name was written with Olson having it in mind.
So, this is a rejiggered "Last Man Standing", now with more lesbians.
