I'm in for the 3 'sci-fi' shows. and of course they'll all be canceled lol


I know it's network TV and we can't ask for too much but why is it always about solving a crime each week? Both Lucifer and Minority report look like they'll just be helping cops solve a case each week, which is fine and I'll watch because it's not a standard normal cop show. For example i watched and loved Forever this year, sure it was case of the week stuff but it had something 'sci-fi' special about it, oh and the charisma of Ioan Gruffudd helped too!

Only Frankenstein Code looks like it won't be a crime procedural, but it probably will be, it's just the trailer didn't look like it.

Serials are tougher sells, and crimes are the easiest to make "procedural".

How many episodes is Last Man on Earth and is it a Fall show?

Lucifer looks it might be interesting, though it will bear little resemblance to the source Vertigo comic book series it is adapted from.

Episodes probably 22.

See post 1 for schedule. This is the Fall schedule thread.

I'll checkout Lucifer, Minority Report and X-Files of course.

The Lucifer trailer looked like the best of the bunch to me. It's not a procedural is it? The description made me think it was more of a serial show revolving around the one case.

Minority Report surprised me because I wasn't expecting it to be based on one of the twins. It's an interesting take because in the movie it was said that the female was the strongest and basically the twins on their own didn't work. So it makes sense for him to be struggling to do anything with his limited gift. Still not that excited about a procedural though.

I kind of liked the trailer for Lucifer too. I presume it's loosely based on that comic. It looks like it has some dark humor added to the crime procedural elements. Weird hearing Tom Ellis speak with his real British accent. He played an American on Rush.

I liked the footage from Frankenstein too. Good to see Tim DeKay from White Collar back on TV.

I know procedurals aren't really liked here, but I think Rosewood looks decent. I think FOX is hoping it could be a potential replacement for Bones.

Yup, both are produced by Ryan Murphy. I'm curious to see the horror comedy aspect of Scream Queens. I'm guessing it will be like Scream and some aspects of Jennifer's Body. The college setting for the first season will be fun.

Network television has an incredibly demanding schedule for the creative staff. It's basically impossible to create 20 or more episodes of an hour-long network drama in ten months without relying on the very familiar procedural formula.

At the FOX upfronts yesterday

^ David is thinking, "Man, Chris - run a comb through your hair before coming on stage, will ya?"

Rosewood = Gender role reversed Body of Proof?

Frankenstein looks like something I'll enjoy but no one else would watch.

There ain't a power in the 'verse that would stop me from watching more Firefly. Except for Fox once again not un-cancelling it.

Bones! For some reason I thought the current season was the last. So happy that there will be more.

Not a huge Roberts fan....looks like she playing the same bitchy type character from "AHS: Coven".
