2017-18 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: E Corp does hostile takeover. Shuts down fsociety

Kirkman owns the comics, not the show. He's only written 5-7 episodes. He's not the show runner. And the comics and show tangent often from each other. He may have an idea for a comic ending, but that doesn't translate to what AMC wants to do.
Thanks for the info. It's a cash cow for AMC that's tapering off, but they don't have any need to shake things up in the short term. It'll be on for a long while yet. I do wonder what what prompt them to eventually end the series - if it'll be ratings malaise or something else.
I was just searching for info y'day but it seems there isn't any. I take that to mean it could be pushed back but I dunno. No trailer either as you said.
I don't know if I agree that there are better shows out there, but I guess that is my massive fandom for the show showing. :) I totally see what you're saying about Candice King BTW and I'm glad her character grew on you so much over the course of the show. She is definitely grating when we're first introduced to her but I really warmed up to her as one of the best characters and most consistently written as well. I feel like if Candice King cannot commit the time, Plec will kill her off or make a magical plot device render her an occasional guest star. You think she'd ever recast against those alternates? Maybe I'm being naïve in not thinking so.

Hmmm not looking good for LA to Vegas and I've enjoyed that show
HOWEVER I found out through research that creator Lon Zimmet was responsible for cancelling Happy Endings because he used to be an executive at ABC and for that, I say fuck that.

They were too busy turning the Bachelor finale into a 5-hour/2-night event to be bothered with shows that score half the ratings.

Martin Freeman set to star in new TV comedy for BBC & FX
'The Outpost': Fantasy-Adventure Series From 'Stargate' Duo Lands At the CW For Summer Run
And to illustrate just how true this is:
They shot an entire high profile pilot and we're hearing about this now.

Caroline is best character. Really hope she'll be in the new spin off but she probably won't. Julie won't recast, they'll just say she has gone on a trip or something. And then Matt Davis is running the school with some buddies.
I found S4 to be a return to form. The shortened season really tightened up the pacing and I really liked the storyline. It also just had a beautiful ending.
Also, The Vampire Diaries / The Originals is the best TV show to have ever graced my television. I still remember running a fansite, those were the good old times.

Kevin (Probably) Saves the World isn't going to come back for a second season, is it? :( Those ratings are awfully disappointing for a good, feel good show like it.
Surprised This is Us didn't do better as well. I watched it live. KPSTW is on my PVR.

I would hope even if she can't be a regular that she'd show up at some points in the series. Fingers crossed the show itself happens. As to season four of The Originals, I was intrigued the first third of the season but despite the shorter episode count it felt to me like the main conflict dragged on and I didn't fond the antagonist as well fleshed out as a character as others in the series. I will say on further reflection it was better than S3, but it just didn't reach the S1 and especially S2 heights for me. I don't think I liked the heights of The Originals as much as the less amazing parts of the VD, though. I just cared about the characters more on the VD. About the ending of S4 of The Originals, I thought it was interesting but some plot holes kinda bothered me. I did enjoy it more than the main conflict of the season though and I'm interested to see what happens next since I know very little about what this season will be about.
Also, the VD is one of my very favorite Western TV series ever, so I completely agree with you there. Looking very much forward to a full series rewatch.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed VD. Not trying to sound critical or give indications it wasn't enjoyable. It was one of my favorite shows that I didn't let build up on my DVR, I cleaned it off every week. But there are other shows I did enjoy more, or at least as much. But this is the case with CW shows in general. They are all predictable, but I find are enjoyable to watch. Like I said, good popcorn fun. I look forward to the spin-off, as I really like both Alaric and Caroline, and with them starting up a school for the (supernaturally) gifted is a great foundation for a show. I found Caroline to be a whiny friend that just there to have scene time in the beginning seasons. It's when she became a vampire when her character really started to expand. Not only strong in the physical aspect, but also where her character could stand on her own and up to others (and did). And after her mother passed, that is when she really blossomed. Some of my favorite episodes with her, where I think she did a great job, is when her emotions got turned off and she became 'bad' Caroline.
As for the spin-off, they really need to have both Davis and King, and I mean both as full series regulars. Even with Candice being a reoccurring cast member isn't enough. We saw what happened there with Calista Flockhart in Supergirl. She was the best part of that show and when she left it is only a shell of what it was. Even if it is established from the beginning where she would only be reoccurring, it would still have that feeling of "she needs to be here more" and on what the show 'could' be if she was. I would rather have them 'not' do the spin-off Plec can't sign King as a series regular.
Since when is .7 considered bad (dark orange) for Flash? I though it's been getting that for a bit now. Although I believe Black Lightning dropped a bit? I think it was around .6 or .7 last week. Little disconcerting Lethal Weapon dropped a bit, would love to see that stay solidly above one. Now that is a well written show and one of my favorites.
Weird, why 18 episode limit? Does he work on something else? Or does he just not want to grind on a TV set?
I hope you are wrong, but we will see. Instead of writing her off, I am hoping her role in the last season of The Originals is to help set up the spin-off with her involvement.
Yeah I was expecting that lol. I'm not a devoted watcher of the show, but it's good for background noise if anything.
Im an episode behind but I hope they keep that new male doctor, one of the few elements I like.
But man that new woman doctor makes me want to drop the series, "Cutthroat Bitch"* she is not.
*this show really makes me miss House.
Colors are based on day by day basis compared to other shows on all networks.
Ok, thanks for the explanation.
So color doesn't really all that much for CW as it's on another level compared to the other networks on expectations.
Good, the premiere was great and I'm glad more people are paying attention to it.
I could see Kevin having a chance with 5/18 scripted shows at ABC already not coming back next season (plus others that haven't been cancelled yet like Inhumans and maybe Shield and Designated Survivor). I guess it'll come down to how many pilots interest them enough to fill all those gaps.
Any word on Lethal Weapon's fate? This season has had steady viewership, but overall it's much lower than last season and has shown no growth.
Honestly, I kind of hope it's canceled. It's not very good and I'd much rather see a Lethal Weapon 5 written and directed by Shane Black (Richard Donner is too old for it now)

It's a dead cert to get picked up.
Also, you're wrong, it's great. And this is coming someone who is a huge fan of the original films and Mr Black.
Besides, the TV series has no baring on the fate of the potential fifth film.
As with a lot of stuff on Fox, the Disney buyout helps renewal a bit.
Eh, I like the tv series more than the movies at this point.
Wednesday night's ratings:
Ouch at Designated Survivor. Unless it improves, I don't see it going past this season. Probably for the best after McElhone leaving the series.
Not very good? Going to have to strongly disagree there, it's one of my favorite new series within the last couple of years. I still enjoy the original movies, but I like series even better in several aspects.
Would also like to see Seal Team go back up. 9-1-1 killing it still. And glad to see that as I am enjoying the show.

'Suits' Spinoff Starring Gina Torres Picked Up To Series By USA Network
Wow. They are gunning for The Good Fight, but I feel pretty confident that The Good Fight > Pantsuits (or whatever they'll call it) just as The Good Wife >>> Suits. Also, something tells me Suits won't be a two simultaneous show franchise for long.
It feels like it's more than past the time to end Suits. I'm not sure if I'm going to bother to watch it whenever it comes back.

Ah poo.
The last season ended pretty lamely, and it always felt like Ezekiel Jones was never fully developed, but the cast were never bad in it. Hoping Christian Kane and John Kim land in something good+fun soon.
I guess that's Timeless.
(I hope they don't do that dumb conspiracy theory garbage again... what show gets a second chance like this? lol)
Also whatever happened to that other Navy Seal show with the more multi-ethnic team?
Do you mean The Brave?
if so it returned from Winter break and finished its season. The season order was only 13 episodes.
Ratings after the break were terrible so its probably cancelled.
Oh weird, Drew Carey guest starred on NCIS. I don't think I've ever seen him in a dramatic role... I barely recognized him.
2 parter with the rogue agent dude and the teen girl that hacked a nuclear submarine.
