Empire: Discussion Thread

I find it funny how they are using Empire to promote the other shows on their network when I doubt most of Empire's audience is checking for it. There's a reason the ratings are mammoth compared to the rest of the schedule. Empire is serving an audience that hasn't watched network television in years due to lack of representation.

I was shocked to read an article that Empire was the most watched English speaking prime time show in Latino/Hispanic homes. Also shocked that one episode attained a 40.6/76 in AA female demos.

Yeah, they are going to use Empire to save the damn network! Empire on AI tonight? Yeah, I'm still gonna skip that sh!tty show!

Naomi Campbell reminded me of Kate O'Mara in her scenes, just the look and some of the facial expressions were giving me Caress. I thought she did a great job.

I thought the musical therapist was trying to get with Andre, but that was still a sexy way of trying to pray with somebody.

12 episodes is a stupid idea. As good as this season was, its problems stemmed from the fact that it was too short. There was more than enough material here for 22 episodes. I really hope LD doesn't go into the next with the same pacing mentality

Lmao! I hate that I even have AI in my screen for 10 minutes before Empire starts

I don't change the channel until the very last second and then that sh!t is still on a minute past the hour!!!!! They are going to mess up a good thing. Empire is wonderful and great for the network, but no one wants to see these folks everywhere. Overexposure is a very bad thing! Soon, viewers are going to be trying to get away from them.

I cannot stand the sight of Sofia Vergara for this very reason and I used to love MF.

Took part in a conference call today with Danny Strong, co-creator of "Empire," and he confirmed talks for how many episodes to produce next season do not include discussion of 22 episodes. Expect less.

Errol, that is not information, honey! Less could be one. Do you have an estimate?

How freaking lucky are you to be on a conference!!!!!

He also said he conceived the show as a film, but then when he spoke with Lee Daniels, the other co-creator, it transformed itself immediately into a family television drama.

A question was asked on which character he thinks the show could spinoff and I for some reason remember hearing Porsha, but I'm not 100% I'm 50/50 on what I heard because I heard talk about cops and stuff too. Will listen back to the audio when I get a chance.

22 episodes is ridiculous.

Most shows (no matter how good) stumble trying to meet unnecessarily high episode orders.

Less is more.

I would have to listen back to it but I don't believe a number was whittled down. Just that it wouldn't be 22.

I didn't read the magazine, but it's call Latina. They want it to be Latinos rapping on the show. Now they did have Micheal but he wasn't a rapper. & the Latina girl working for the Mayor. But the show is about a family that made it big from urban music, cause Lucious seems like he was more of a singer. Hakeem is the only rapper on the show

Lee Daniels already said since they own a record company he wants rocks stars, country singers, & other genes of music but that doesn't mean they going to have a big part. Unless Hakeem date a Latin girl.

Anyway somebody responded that it's funny they want to be apart of a AA show when they don't respect the Afro Latino people in their communities. My thing is Latin people watching in numbers so they might just have to throw in a meaty bone or two.

My niece was like it's 9:00 pm, what channel Empire comes on. I had to explain to her that AI is still on. I'm waiting for 9:01 to put it on channel 5. But I wouldn't mind seeing them perform that song live on Idol. But I don't want to watch the whole thing.
