Seriously... read the thread before you post.

Seriously... try lightening up, hombre.

One post repeating the story from an entirely different source is suddenly forbidden?

You guys hear that Wicked city got cancelled?

Well it did - I read it somewhere on the internet..

 

[Relayer1]

I kind of like Blindspot and have never seen The Black List.

Blacklist is a total zero of a show completely rescued by the utter wonderfulness of James Spader.

Hey Joe, did you hear Wicked City got cancelled?

 

[bigdaddy]

Wicked City got is the first canceled show of the season, unshockingly. Might be a record for latest first cancelation.

 

[Karzak]

Not quite renewals or cancellations, but still good news for a few shows here.

ABC Ups Orders For ‘Middle’, ‘Goldbergs’, ‘Blackish’ &’ ‘FOTB’; ‘Modern Family’ Next

Black-ish is my favorite comedy, the writing is great and the cast is spot on.

‘The Bastard Executioner’ Axed After One Season On FX; Kurt Sutter Eulogizes His Passion Project & Eyes ‘SOA’ Spinoff Next

Kurt Sutter’s 14th century Sons Of Anarchy follow-up The Bastard Executioner has been canceled after its first season. Rather than allow the FX and Fox 21 TV Studios drama to simply fade away after 10 episodes, Sutter has taken the unusual step of helping the network make the decision and buying farewell ads on Deadline and the Hollywood trades to thank his cast and crew — and the network that ultimately had to swing the ax because the show wasn’t generating enough ratings growth quickly enough to justify the cost of a Wales-set period drama.

Sutter knew the end was coming as he wrapped the final episode five weeks ago, but didn’t tell the cast at the time because the final decision hadn’t yet been made and because he didn’t want to cast a pall over what he feels is an electric finish. Sutter, who is under an overall deal at Fox 21 parent 20th Century Fox TV, won’t be out of a job long. He’ll soon start the process of hiring a Latino showrunner who’ll spearhead the Sons spinoff that focuses on the Mayan biker club. And he’s discussing with Cross Creek principal Brian Oliver plans for him to finally direct his feature script Delivering Gen. The timing seems good on the latter; the Sutter-scripted boxing drama Southpaw with director Antoine Fuqua and Jake Gyllenhaal was a summer hit, and Cross Creek just signed a big co-financing and producing deal at Sony Pictures that positions the maker of Black Mass, Everest and Black Swan to become a major supplier for that studio.

None of this obscures the sadness Sutter feels at the moment for the demise of The Bastard Executioner, an edgy period drama that, for all of its ambitions and exploration of horrible behavior excused by religious devotion that seems relevant today, the show just wasn’t showing the audience growth needed to continue.

“I wanted that ad because I just loved this cast and crew,” Sutter told Deadline. “I’ve never worked with a higher caliber of talent from top to bottom. I love my Sons cast and the people I work with here, but UK actors just have a different approach to the work and are not caught up in the machine of Hollywood. Here, people get caught up in the awareness of ratings, and reviews and what everybody thinks, and am I going to have a job. Out there, there is more of a journeyman approach to acting. A lot of the cast had reservations about signing a contract for five years because they’re so used to doing a play, then jumping to a BBC project, and then doing something else. They just focus on the work. I started out with people who’d never worked together before, with some doing their first TV series work, and as the show progressed over the two-hour pilot and eight episodes, they bonded so much. They loved the work, and the characters in this ensemble. And so I was there in the finale, and I knew at that point the fate of the show, and I could tell there was no awareness of it, which was a bit heartbreaking and kind of beautiful. They didn’t know anything was coming and I couldn’t tell them. I just wanted to let them know now what an amazing experience this was for me.”

The End For ‘The Soup’ Says E!

E! announced this morning its weekly series skewering pop culture would bow out on December 18, ending the franchise’s 22 year run.

The show premiered in ’91 as Talk Soup and launched the career of original host Greg Kinnear, who hosted until ’95. He was followed by John Henson (995–1999), Hal Sparks (1999–2000) and Aisha Tyler (2001–2002). It was re-Launched as The Soup in 2004 with current host Joel McHale. The series earned a 2014 Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program’

From E!’s announcement:

As E! counts down to the final episode on December 18 at 10pm ET/PT, Joel McHale will continue to host new episodes that bring viewers the best of the worst in pop culture and look back at some of the series’ most memorable moments from the past 22 years. New episodes will air Fridays at 10m ET/PT until McHale signs off for the last time and fans say good-bye to the most infamous green screen in TV history, along with the characters that appeared in front of it, including Mankini, Lou the Chihuahua, and of course, the floating talk show heads in the notorious “Chat Stew” graphic.

“We are incredibly proud of the long-running success of ‘The Soup,” said Jeff Olde, EVP of Programming & Development for E! “‘The Soup’ has delivered countless laughs and unforgettable episodes, and we are grateful to the talented team’s fearless wit and clever approach week after week. Joel took the show to new heights for more than a decade, and his irreverent humor and unique brand of comedy as captured so perfectly on ‘The Soup’ will be missed.”

BASTARDO!!!!

 

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

The Soup...

Fuck.

 

[bigdaddy]

BOOOOOO!

At least now we don't need to remember what awful channel it was on.

 

[Mr Light]

Why would you ever cancel The Soup? It costs nothing to produce, just get a new cheaper host

 

[Guy Gardener]

Maybe they're just going to rebrand it?

New Cheaper host like you say, plus new name to make the know nothing idiots think that this is a fresh hip new product.

 

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

I delved into Deep Cable for Joel McHale.

Off-brand Joel McHale may not be worth the effort.

Besides, Universal Television has tried numerous times to replicate the Soup and each attempt has been short-lived.

Web Soup (G4)
Sports Soup (?...I want to say the Speed Network)
the Wil Wheaton Project (SyFy)
the Dish (Style)

And most recently
Reactor (SyFy)

Damnit, I need my weekly McHale fix!
