I remember watching repeats of the old Raymond Burr series as a kid. Could be an interesting re-telling. I have to assume it will be a weekly crime procedural.

sucks for Underwood to commit to a series where he has to sit down the entire time.
Maybe Elliot or Brad will make an appearance.

Chicago Fire spinoff ordered to series. It's going to deal with the Chicago PD, which is the show title as well.

The back door pilot is airing as the Chicago Fire season finale.

Jon Seda, who is on Chicago Fire as a detective, will most likely move to the new series.

I haven't seen Chicago Fire yet, but given its Dick Wolf I hope Chicago PD isn't just another L&O incarnation.

I watch Chicago Fire. It's more of a character-driven drama, not a procedural. It's also quite serialized.

NBC actually cancelled Rock Center with Brian Williams. A freaking news magazine show gets cancelled.

I don't want to rub it in NBC's face but my suggestion to them 2 years ago called Stripperobics with Allison Williams would have gotten 5 times the amount of viewers of Rock Center.

Re: Broadcast Upfronts 2013

So I guess that means the Beverly Hills Cop TV reboot is dead.

Shawn Ryan tweeted about it recently and said Eddie Murphy was great in it. Sucks we won't be able to see it.

Hard to believe that Will Arnett is getting another show for the 3rd straight year. 4th if you count Arrested Development

Did Vegas get axed? That would be a shame since it's been much better since they put it out to pasture on Fridays.

CSI NY was cancelled today. No surprise there. It's been a dead man walking for the last 2 seasons.

I know a lot of posters here won't read certain threads unless it has a thread title that automatically attracts their interest. I bet a lot aren't reading this thread.
I finally made it into this thread

He made so much money off that show and it's going into syndication, IIRC. He can probably do like 20 stand up gigs a year, a movie here and there and he'll be set forever.

I know I know... he's really a hack now though...is my point. He doesn't have to do anything except show up in Sandler's latest bowel movement.

Re: Broadcast Upfronts 2013

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD officially picked up today. ABC publicity just tweeted.

I wonder if ABC had the balls to put this on the dreaded Thursday at 8pm timeslot.
