Members NeoAngelicLiz Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 THANK YOU! Wow that just brightened my mood SO much right now.... I'm really curious what happens with Pushing Daises and Private Practice. ABC is already hyping up the ratings for PD...apparently it did really well. Personally the show as just too much on the wierd side but I can see how people would want to see something different other than reality tv. I'm still not feeling Private Practice. Its just so bland to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 I thought C actually was pretty good with letting shows laste a while--at least scripted shows--even the WB allowed shows liek Buffy to flourish where if they were in Fox they'd be gone after 3 eps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeoAngelicLiz Posted October 23, 2007 Members Share Posted October 23, 2007 Woah wait a min...Viva Laughlin was CANCELLED!? Didn't the premier JUST air on CBS? I didn't watch it but from all the hype that CBS put on it I thought it would do decent at least. God if this is true then these networks really need to get a clue serious. Hyping stuff up is a sure fire way to get a series cancelled quickly. I mean just look at DayBreak...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 ABC picks up 'Pushing Daisies' 'Private Practice' also gets full season By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER "Pushing Daisies" will bloom through spring, as ABC has picked up the critical fave for the remainder of the season. "Daisies" is the second frosh series to receive a "back nine" pickup from the Alphabet, which has also given the full-year go-ahead to "Private Practice." Other likely pickups include "Dirty Sexy Money," "Women's Murder Club" and "Samantha Who?" Hailing from Warner Bros. TV, "Pushing Daisies" has averaged a solid 3.9 rating/11 share among adults 18-49 after three airings, according to "live plus same-day" data. Skein also has averaged 11.1 million viewers in its Wednesday 8 p.m. slot. "Daisies" was near the top of every TV critic's must-see list heading into fall and remains a fave. Bryan Fuller created the show and exec produces, along with Barry Sonnenfeld (who helmed the pilot), Dan Jinks, Bruce Cohen and Brooke Kennedy. "Daisies" stars Lee Pace as piemaker Ned, who discovers he can bring the deceased back to life by touching them. He resurrects his childhood crush Chuck (Anna Friel), and the two launch a flirtation hampered by the fact that they can never come into physical contact or she will die again, this time permanently. Chi McBride, Ellen Greene, Swoosie Kurtz and Kristin Chenoweth also star, with narration by Jim Dale. Show has hit some bumps along the way, as producers have struggled to keep up with budget and time constraints while trying to maintain its unique, colorful look. In one instance, exec producer Sonnenfeld, who also directed the first regular episode, was asked not to return to helm subsequent segs after Warner Bros. TV grew leery of cost overruns. The studio eventually reversed course, however, and asked Sonnenfeld to direct more episodes this fall. But due to other commitments, Sonnenfeld isn't available again until midseason. Now that "Daisies" has a full order, however, the director is expected to shoot another seg later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 CBS cancels 'Viva Laughlin' CBS is singing the blues over "Viva Laughlin," which has been officially canceled after just two episodes. Emmy winner "The Amazing Race" will take "Laughlin's" place in the Sunday 8 p.m. slot - where the reality show resided last year - effective Nov. 4. A repeat "CSI" will run in the time period next week. "Laughlin" becomes this season's first scripted series casualty. Eye initially had high hopes for "Laughlin," starting with the imprint of exec producer Hugh Jackman. Show was based on the hit BBC series "Viva Blackpool," about a gambler who opens a casino but winds up in the middle of a murder investigation. The series repped part of the net's attempt to create some buzz with shows that weren't CBS' normal fare. In this case, "Laughlin" included characters that sang (and sometime danced) along to hit songs to advance the plot. But critics were generally unimpressed with "Laughlin," and viewers mostly stayed away. Show tanked in its premiere Sunday night airing, averaging just a 1.2 rating and 3 share among adults 18-49. That came after a disappointing Thursday night bow in the post-"CSI" time slot. In the end, even the net appeared to distance itself from the show, mostly stripping promos of any mention of the sing-along gimmick. Jackman, John Palermo, Bob Lowry, Paul Telegdy and Peter Bowker exec produced "Viva Laughlin," which came from BBC Worldwide Prods., Sony Pictures TV and CBS Paramount Network TV. Lloyd Owen, Madchen Amick, Carter Jenkins, D.B. Woodside and Eric Winter starred in the show. Eye is still determining what to do with the remaining episodes of "Viva Laughlin," such as streaming them online or placing them on a cable outlet.
