 This is the SF Productions podcast network It's the hottest TV of 1994 sorry 2018 From the pop culture bunker. I'm Indy and I'm Mark You can check out our audio podcast how I got my wife tree comics on iTunes or on our website SF podcast that work calm The various TV networks recently held their archaic upfronts event where they try to sell advertisers on their new shows before they They air aka upfront and aka new yeah It also means the networks made their final calls on which of their existing shows were renewed or canceled So let's start with the cancellations and I've noted the ones that actually went a single season or less on ABC they canceled Alex incorporated, which was a single season boy band. I don't even know what that was That came and went that must have been like one airing on a Saturday or something The crossing and deception which were both one season Designated survivor, which is looking for a new home. I'll say Kevin probably saves the world Marbles in humans and the mayor were all single season the middle once upon a time Quantico scandal and 10 days in the valley and the toy box, which were both a single season Overrun CBS 9 jkl a single season code black Kevin can wait living Biblically and me myself and I both single season scorpion Superior donuts wisdom of the crowd now as a single season. I think that's the one we called originally that was gonna be the first one to go and it pretty much was and zoo and then on the CW life sentence single season the originals and Valor Valor single season and they have but fewer cancellations because they have fewer show, right? Box canceled Brooklyn 9 9 But wait stay tuned The exorcist LA to Vegas, which was a single season the last man on earth Lucifer the Mick and shots fired another single season show NBC canceled the brave a Single season show great news, which we kind of like yeah the night shift and Rise and take in which were both single season shows and then all the other shows were renewed now Fox Has actually replaced clain Crawford with Sean Williams Scott on lethal weapon because apparently he behaved really badly Unset do you know are they replacing him in the character a lot Darren or as I understand it It's gonna be the guy's brother. Okay They also picked up the long canceled last man standing part of the Roseanne Effect of conservative TV Because apparently they're learning the wrong lesson from that, which is what networks always do. Yes Meanwhile in NBC Brooklyn 9 9 got a pick up from it. I'm from Fox So we'll get probably one more season. I'm guessing yeah, and then Will and Grace. I actually got two more seasons So let's move on to the new series Introduced at the up front because that's always the best part. Yeah, as always you'll see Dylan the blank returns to TV Different shows with the same concept last year. It was military drama this year. It's remakes remakes remakes stars who then networks insist we like over and over again and We're skipping most of the shows announced for mid-season as many of them may never actually make it to air, right? And starting on ABC a million little things a group of friends decide to change their lives After the death of one of them. This is us much Yeah, Ron Livingston and James Roday star The kids are all right. It's a family show set in the 70s involving eight sons So eight is enough plus the Wonder Years and or the Goldbergs thrown in yeah It'll air in the poster as an slot. So It could do pretty well although I didn't think much of the preview The rookie Nathan Fillion returns to TV after about ten minutes. He plays the oldest police cadet. He's playing 40 He's actually 47 a castle creator is involved and what we both thought after we saw the preview was that it's not a Dramity that they're playing it up to be the preview made it look like a straight drama Right, and just in case you're interested the LAPD does take 40 year olds as I say as cadets Did they take 47 year olds? Single parents from the producers of new girl a comedy about well single parents Brad Garrett Leighton Meister and Teran Killam star The Alec Baldwin show so ABC is gonna roll the dice on a prime-time talk show It is buried on Sundays at 10 p.m. But it is still technically prime time It actually Previewed after the Oscars in March, and then we didn't hear anything about it And it's based on his here's the thing podcast with doing these long-form interviews So on CBS we have FBI Dick Wolf plus a good wife writer equals a procedural that may run for years or Disappear completely Jeremy's is still Missy Peregrine and Connie Nielsen star and Missy Peregrine is one of those You're gonna like this actress. Yeah, so we're gonna keep putting her in shows She's I like her but she does very little luck. Yeah, maybe this time's the charm charm God friended me Brandon Michael Hall formerly the mayor and someone that the networks has decided is hot Stars as a guy who gets a friend request from God He helps people whom the Lord suggests via tweets Violent keen previously Jesse quick on the flash Becomes his sidekick. Oh and the guy's an atheist. Really? It's this year's high concept show and will most likely crash and burn But it could be another good place. You never know. You never know probably not but it could be yeah Happy together mild mannered accountant Damon Wayans, Jr. And wife have a house guest a pop star client Apparently a late-late show producer had this happen with Harry Styles who's also an exec producer. It's a multi-camera comedy So wacky listen to I couldn't hardly get it seem to go on forever Magnum PI the same guy who brought you the Hawaii 5-0 and MacGyver reboots brings you the man with the mustache Except the new guy Jay Hernandez his mustache and charisma free We also get a female Higgins. We ain't get a Rick and a TC I'm sure the CBS audience will eat this up and I'm wondering is this the first time the star of an existing show Tom Selleck who's on blue bloods is watching someone remake their best-known series on the same network while they sit on the sidelines This is weird. Yeah And Murphy Brown another reach back to the time broadcast networks were relevant Looks like the entire main cast save Charles Kimbrough and the late Pat Corley are returning as is the original creator Diane English Jake McDormand joins the veterans as Murphy's now adult son and also in TV news There's not even a preview yet, which means this got a green light without a pilot The neighborhood Max Greenfield of new girl stars as the head of a Midwest family who moves to a black LA neighborhood It's not a good sign that the pilot star Joss Lawson. So it's basically after the pilot went Okay, we need to fix something. Yeah Center of the entertainer co-stars. It is from the makers of the Big Bang theory Who know a whole lot about black life in a I guess On the CW This network is expanding to Sunday nights, which is giving them two extra hour-long slots So we're gonna get a couple more shows The first is all-american a high school football player in South LA is recruited to Beverly Hills 902 1L something like that Tay Diggs plays his new coach. Well, it's on a CW and not superhero based or a reboot spin-off So and speaking of a reboot charm Jane the Virgin's writers Reimagined the hollywell sisters. There's a lot of talk about the show being fierce and feminist except that in the preview They're being led By a man. Hmm The original cast is not happy about all this I guess there have been various efforts to do a sequel with the original cast that never went anywhere now They're like moving on. Yeah, so they're going on social media and they ain't happy Yeah, and then legacies a spin-out from vampire diaries and the originals involving the offspring of the original characters It's got a false lot, but there's very little info about it Overrun Fox now This may be the last year that Fox has actual scripted programming Assuming that either the Disney or the Comcast takeover occurs and as we've talked about in a previous episode Fox is gonna lose their home studio Meaning they won't have an in-house source to generate scripted programming and a lot of people assume Fox TV will go Reality sports of news. Yeah, well if these are examples of what their studio is coming up with that might not The cool kids retirement community residents David Allen Greer Leslie Jordan and Martin Mall have to deal with newbie Vicki Lawrence this really seems like a CBS show that got misplaced. It happens sometimes rel divorce dad little rel howlery from get out and the Carmichael show tries to be a good father to his kids Sinbad co-stars as his dad. They're clearly going for the Tyler Perry demo on this On NBC we have manifest another high-concept show playing passengers have a bumpy flight then land five years later It's from the creator of mysteries of Laura, so New Amsterdam hey a medical drama or a Maverick doctor wants to do things a new way. We've never seen that before Ryan Egg old from blacklist stars as the Maverick Fremont Aggiman Dr. Who's Martha Jones co-stars TV's angel of death Tyler Labine is also in the mix Expect this to disappear like a tortoise I feel bad a working Indian mom and wife is trying to have it all and insanity ensues The Saraya blue stars Amy polar is the exact producer this screams ABC series that didn't get picked up Yes, no question.
