Upfronts Week continues with CBS today and The CW tomorrow! Also, be sure to check out my thoughts on the recent cancellations and new series orders from NBC, Fox, and ABC.
Thoughts On Cancelled Series:
The only cancelled series that are worth noting are Hostages and Intelligence. I always thought Hostages was a mini series but I guess exploring it even more was an opportunity but the ratings weren’t there. It’s a shame because there’s so much more that show could have done. But I enjoyed it while I could. Intelligence was a good show but I found myself catching up late because I was reading the book it’s inspired by, Phoenix Island by John Dixon.
Thoughts On New Series:
I can’t say that I’d be interested in STALKER if not for Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q. The title alone turns me off but this cast. Must tune in for them. MADAM SECRETARY also sounds interesting and stars Tea Leoni so I’m definitely going to tune in. That said, political dramas are becoming the new medical dramas…there are so many! So, we’ll see if this one adds anything special to the mix. I had no intention of watching CSI: CYBER until I realized Patricia Arquette was starring. Sign me up! Loved her on Medium! The other new series I’ll check out at least once but until trailers are posted, I can’t say whether or not I’m excited about the rest.
Now for the Fall schedule…
