Members Soapsuds Posted September 23, 2024 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 The best part was towards the end with the original Matlock theme song being played and the Murder She Wrote/Angela Lansbury references and the ending. Didn't expect that ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 I was super annoyed that CBS had cancelled So Help Me Todd and was replacing it with Matlock as Todd was like the only show outside of the soaps I even watched on the traditional broadcast networks. I gave this a shot just to see Kathy Bates, thought it was middle of the road some some very amusing moments. But then the twist ending occurred and totally unexpected. Whoa. Well done!

Members Soapsuds Posted September 23, 2024 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 I'm assuming it will play out the entire season? I was expecting murder cases like the original but now I understand why the first case was so flimsy. It moves to Thursday's. I thought it would've been great had it stayed in the old MSW timeslot right before Trackers. They compliment each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 My guess it’s move to Thursdays is to pair it with Elsbeth to create a block of two similarly natured shows. Yeah the case featured felt like this show was going to be about her doing feel good civil litigation cases and what not but the ending blew that out of the water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 Which is how I felt about EAST NEW YORK being cancelled for TODD. Please register in order to view this content But I'm sorry to hear that. I think I might sit down some time this week (or tonight) and watch this. You guys comments' and my favorite tv friend/coworker's buzz over this (and my love of Kathy Bates) is contagious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 23, 2024 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 Be patient with the episode. Even though the scenes at first are the introduction followed by the case ....it does run slow in interest. It picks up towards the end and the actual ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 (edited) I don't mind slow burns. Especially if it's leading somewhere. Edited September 23, 2024 by Taoboi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 I loved East New York!!! But I think East New York was canned in favor reversing the decision to cance SWAT, while Todd actually had the same thing occur when CBS unexpectedly renewed SWAT for another season and killed Todd to make room for Matlock on the schedule. I get the Shemar love but SWAT is just not my cup of tea. But yes I definitely recommend you check it out as well, and like Soapsuds said be patient with it it’s well worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 I was picking. lol. I just remember the renewals being down to those twos but you are right about SWAT. And I was pissed that CBS took it off my server before I could finish the back half of Season 1. Setting up the mystery of her father only for me to not know what happened. I am sure it will be on in a few more hours here. But doing writing stuff (while catching up on GH) so we will see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 What happened to East NY was unfortunate. A top 20 show axed because of licensing fees to Warner Bros so it was cheaper for CBS to uncancel a show because it was cheaper too. Show cancellations these days can be so frustrating because it’s no longer solely about ratings and demos but also show costs, budgets, licensing fees etc. plus the streaming aspect of it and then CBS these days have a pipeline to the point they’re already ordering new pilots and making guarantees for the 2025-26 tv season. I’m also wondering how many episodes are in this season. I’m guessing maybe 10-13? I know Kathy recently interviewed and said she may retire after this gig so I can’t see it lasting the whopping 24-25 episodes CBS was ordering for its procedurals prior to the writers strike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 23, 2024 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 (edited) Usually the first seasons are a small amount of episodes. I can see 13 episodes this season. Tracker only had 13 episodes last season which was its first season. Edited September 23, 2024 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
