I was holding this post hoping to
hear the fate of Hannibal first, but
no such luck. The fate of the show is still a mystery. I really hope it gets
renewed, as all other Bryan Fuller shows it is visually stunning and
intriguing, so fingers crossed! I got most of it right except for Go On, which I was very inclined to
believe would be renewed. I thought NBC was going to save at least one more
comedy, but they decided to clean up the house instead. I am very excited about
Community! The perpetual bubble show
is, in my opinion, the best NBC comedy. I regret the loss of Deception because it was a good drama and I adore Victor Garber,
however I knew the show was doomed even before it premiered. It came out at a
weird time in the broadcast season and I don’t think they marketed it properly.
Do I regret the loss of Smash? Yes… sort of. I liked Smash, yes, they had a lot of issues
during the second season but still it had a lot of potential and an interesting
concept. All the issues could have been fixed and the talent was there. Now,
that was me being objective… the truth is that after voting for the E!online
“Save One Show Poll” (which Smash won),
I wasn’t so crazy about Smash. A lot
of the comments from Smash fans rubbed
me the wrong way, they were in the vein of: “Smash is the only TV show educated
people watch and anybody who likes other shows is an ignorant”. It’s sad for
the rest of the fans, I am sure a lot of Smash
fans are lovely people, and hell I was a fan myself! But the end result was
that I wasn’t too fond of Smash anymore.
I confess, I actually celebrated the cancellation a little (or maybe a lot). Unfair?
Probably, but it happened, which makes me sad because I am a TV lover, not a
hater... Bottom line, be a nice fandom and respect
other fandoms, that’s the way to get new viewers. For instance, I really want
to check out Lost Girl because the
fans in general seem to be so nice and classy across the web.
What am I looking
forward to next season?
NBC is also jumping on the JJ
Abrams wagon and… I am not complaining. For me, there can never be too many JJ
Abrams/Bad Robot shows on the air. So yes, I am excited for the new show Believe. What can make me even more excited than JJ Abrams? James Spader back on TV! His new show The Blacklist looks amazing. Unexpectedly I also liked the trailer for Dracula, it is a more traditional 'vampire' story, which is great because we don't need more teen vampires. As for the comedies I am rooting for Michael J.Fox because he is awesome. The trailer for the Michael J. Fox Show looked promising enough, so... let's hope it is good.
Update May 31st
NBC FINALLY renewed Hannibal, which makes me so happy because 1) it is in line with my prediction and 2) It is an AWESOME show that I like more and more as I see more episodes.
