What I think, feel and hope will
happen to the TV shows of each network this season
I almost didn’t write a post
about FOX because everything has been renewed or cancelled already, but I guess
I can still say what I wish they had done instead of whatever it is they did.
Here is the scorecard:
Comedies
|
Dramas
|
|
Chopping block
|
The Cleveland Show (Basically cancelled)
|
Touch (cancelled)
|
Reasonably Safe
|
Glee (Renewed for another 2 years)
|
|
Already renewed
|
Raising Hope
The Mindy Project
Bob’s Burgers
New Girl
American Dad
The Simpsons
Family Guy
|
Bones
The Following
|
What my logic and gut say
 |
| Brennan - Bones |
Well, not much to say really,
everything is already set. Glee will
get renewed, no idea why it hasn’t yet, but it will. Touch is likely to be cancelled, although I haven’t realized how
few dramas FOX has. They’ve already cancelled The Mob Doctor and Fringe ended
its run, so they are experiencing a deficit of dramas. Could there be a chance of
FOX keeping Touch since it airs on
Fridays and all? I don’t know, I guess it is possible but unlikely, the ratings
are really bad. The Cleveland Show may
go as well, but I am not sure about that.
What I hope would happen in an ideal world where I program all 4
networks (and The CW)
What I hope would happen? You
know what? I really don’t care. I like Bones,
but I am getting bored with it, Glee is
overrated, I am not a big fan of the cartoons and I really like Touch, but at this point I think it is
beyond salvation. The only truly exciting show in the lineup is The Following. What I really wish I
could do is to go back in time before they cancelled two of my favorite shows
last season: Terra Nova and Alcatraz. Those shows had flaws, but
they also had a lot of potential, much more than the current worn-out dramas on
the schedule. Remember when FOX was the ‘young’ and ‘edgy’ network, now with Fringe gone and no exciting new shows it
is starting to look older than CBS!
April 19th Update
FOX decided the faith of 2 of the 3 remaining shows. Glee has been renewed for another 2 seasons! Now, I feel that show has seriously started to age, so renewing it for 2 more years seems a little excessive according to me. (Maybe they are planning to make it the last 2 years?). On the other hand The Cleveland Show has not been officially cancelled, but they are 'not ordering more episodes' so, that is like cancelling it. The only show left hanging is Touch and I am almost 100% sure it won't get another season.
May 7th Update FINAL PREDICTION
OK, so it is almost a joke to make a 'final prediction' for FOX since pretty much everything has been set already. So... TOUCH will be cancelled, there that's my final prediction. Touch was cancelled May 9th.
I'll be back after upfronts to comment on how accurate all my predictions were.
