RIPPA Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I am not sure how these commercials for The Grinder expect anyone to want to watch the show
Dewar Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Lowe and Savage interacting with one another is surprisingly funny. Rest of the show is the shits though.
BurningBeard Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 So, that Preacher adaptation looks...*shrug*
_MJ_ Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Preacher trailer I haven't read the book in a long time, but I didn't get many "Oh I remember when this happen in the book" moments. They've changed things, obviously, and you knew they were going to since the book is so bizarre. It can still be good. Trailer doesn't lean me more toward either direction. 1
AxB Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 It looks more 'Inspired by' than 'Based on', although it pretty much always was going to be. The comics were basically unfilmable. Good cast though. Very British (Cooper & Gilgun) & Irish (Negga).
J.T. Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Even with the *shrugs* of how Preacher will look, AMC will still have the most shows on my Must Watch list. Starting with: which starts its run on November 15th.
Chaos Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Am I the only person here watching The Leftovers this year? If so, you are all missing out on some tremendous TV these first five episodes.
Technico Support Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I just couldn't get over the kid in the Preacher promo is the same kid who plays annoying Peter Pan in the Geico commercial. 1
Ace Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 And the ringleader of Coop's cabin from Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.
_MJ_ Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Haha of course they get a British actor to play southern Jesse Custer. Shoutout to Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes too. AMC knows what it likes in a lead. I doubt this adaptation has the Assface character, which is a good thing.
Tromatagon Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 He's in it and he's welcome by people that enjoyed the series enough to know his name is Arseface 2
EVA Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 New STAR TREK series coming in January 2017 So that's good news. Despite there being a couple of really good ST movies, I always felt like the premise worked better in the TV format. Bad news: It will premiere on CBS, but all subsequent episodes will air on the CBS All Access subscription service. THE FUCK? Never more appropriate. 1
Craig H Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 What the hell is CBS All Access? I've never heard of it before. Netflix, sure. Amazon Prime, yes. Hulu Plus, ok. CBS All Access? LOL.
_MJ_ Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 He's in it and he's welcome by people that enjoyed the series enough to know his name is ArsefaceYes Arseface. You indeed know his true spelling. My mistake. Cant wait to argue the finer points of the Arseface character with a true fan for once. They are so rare to find.
Tromatagon Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 No True Fan posts on Socaluncensored.com (Three people will get this)

Bad news: It will premiere on CBS, but all subsequent episodes will air on the CBS All Access subscription service. THE FUCK? Never more appropriate. Yaa... oh, fuck. Not paying for that AND a VPN to watch in Canada. JAGOFFS. Oh, dear God. This Heather Kadin person has a horrible track record too. PROMISING. One last note, it sounds like those of us outside of the US may be able to watch it on regular ass television which is nice.
Tromatagon Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 The best thing a network for old people could do is offer a streaming video service their audience can't figure out
Cristobal Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Well, the Star Trek fans can probably figure it out. Which appears to be who they're counting on to prop this thing up.
Chaos Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I thought All Access was dead. CBS quietly approved Person of Interest to have all of its episodes on Netflix, and Hulu recently got Elementary. Plus, I think The Good Wife is on Amazon Prime. The initial idea for that service was to horde all current CBS content with some legacy content sprinkled in for good measure.
Cristobal Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I had a nice little three-step thought process when I heard about the Trek series. Step 1: OHMYGODOHMYGODpleasedontsuckOHMYGODOHMYGOD Step 2: This could be so timely. Throw out the movie crap and set this on a ship post-Dominion war. Examinations of how an existential war might have changed the Federation for good or ill, militaristic elements creeping into Starfleet, civilian reaction vs Starfleet's, veterans' coping with life post-war... Step 3: There's literally no chance any of that's gonna happen. *sigh* 1
Bustronaut Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Nope, they painted themselves into a corner with the books. A fun show might be a "next gen" series for the Abramsverse.
Raziel Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Nope, they painted themselves into a corner with the books. A fun show might be a "next gen" series for the Abramsverse. As the Mouse proved, the books don't mean shit. If they want to run post-Nemisis or in the TNG timeline, they can.
Jiji Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 As much as all of that sounds wonderful, Cristobal, I'm thinking Mike's right about it probably being TNG to the movies. Post-DS9 sounds way more fun and relevant so fuck that noise.
Death From Above Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 It will be syndicated to cable about 18 seconds after it launches so the streaming thing doesn't bother me. In terms of the show itself, we'll see. Anything but another Voyager.
J.H. Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 All this along with JMS helmed reboot of B5... things are getting interesting in Sci-fi TV James
