 This is the SF Productions podcast network Let's be upfront about this from the pop culture bunker I'm Indy and I'm Mark if you can check out our audio podcast how I get my wife tree comics on iTunes or on our website SF podcast network comm so the annual TV Upfronts event recently finished. This is named for how networks ask advertisers to put up some advertising money up front So they like invest in the new shows. That's why it's called the upfronts And this is where they introduce the new shows for the season and they announce what existing shows will and won't make it into the next season Yeah, and a lot of this is still really iffy though, you know, it might change Yeah, yeah But in terms of the especially the the new shows being announced because they might get pushed back Some shows have already been pushed back where I'm gonna worry about those because a lot of those never end up ever happening Yes, so let's start with the losers the ones who are being cancelled the ones that we talked about last year in the upfront Yeah, many of whom are last year's upfront. Yes So for ABC revenge after four seasons being pulled Manhattan love story after four episodes being pulled. I think we call that one. Yeah selfie seven episodes Cristella one season Forever one season and that's kind of a surprise Yeah, but we only watched it about halfway through and then we said we catch up later So I can see that one because it almost became a self-limiting concept. Yes so the idea was a This physician who somehow has become immortal and he can be killed But he just comes back to life and now he's lived all these these lives in New York City And now he's a modern forensic scientist. Yeah, and but nobody knows about it. So that's the big thing It's like, how does no one figure this out? Yes The taste three season three seasons What was that? That was the cooking show with Nigella Lawson, and that's why it's no longer in the air Okay, she had all these problems. Yeah, okay, and then resurrection after two seasons another show We started with and then got to conspiracy Petered out. Yeah, yeah CBS the medallist after seven seasons and and it I think was less cancelled than sort of just died of natural death Reckless after one season. I think we watched the first episode went meh The Millers who got I would call 1.2 seasons. This was bizarre. It got renewed for a second season It went four episodes. They went now. We're done. Yeah, it's hardly ever happened Two and a half men our long national nightmare is over after 12 seasons Unforgettable three seasons. It was actually brought back by CBS and then it didn't work It's been saved by A&E is going to continue the show Battle Creek after one season Really more than like half a season You know they they I think it could have worked if they had stuck with the main concept Yeah, the initial concept was these This town that's in terrible financial trouble and the cops trying to work within that And this fbi guy comes in with all this money. It was a very interesting concept And then by like the second or third episode it was like, oh, it's a generic procedural now. Yes The mccarthy's one season Stalker one season. I'm kind of glad that got cancelled. That was creepy. Yeah And csi 15 seasons. There will be a two hour movie and then that's it That for the original csi the original csi the you know csi debuque is still going on. Yeah, uh-huh On the cw now cw had an incredible season this year in terms of their ratings So they didn't have to cancel very much a few shows that basically I didn't even know existed Backpackers with two episodes seed with two episodes and the messengers with three episodes Never heard of them Heart of dick sees the only one I ever heard of never watched it four seasons. Yes So they're keeping quite a bit. They are Not so much on fox The mindy project three seasons, but now it's officially announced hulu is picking it up And that was just so all over the place that you know, I'm not surprised I'm surprised it had three seasons because the show constantly changed. It's like bringing these characters. Oh, these characters never existed. Yeah Gang related one season Glee after six seasons Kitchen nightmares seven seasons. How do you get seven seasons out of that? Grace point one season. That was the show that was the broad church Remake from a uk show with the same actor, but it wasn't very good Utopia 12 episodes. That was their big event reality show that went nowhere The following three seasons. This is a show that keeps being brought back and they finally said we're done Yeah, backstrom one season red band society one season Malaney one season and weird loners, which they called one season, but it's more like three episodes Yeah, well, maybe they're gonna burn off NBC didn't do much better Parks and Rec Six seven seasons. Yep. Really really sad to see that go Parenthood six seasons A to Z half a season because they only got to the L's. Yeah Bad judge half a season working the end goals a few episodes the slap It was one season was a limited series Constantine one season and there was some Talk about maybe cw would like either pick up the show or even include the character in arrow No, they said then it's not gonna happen. That was more wishful thinking. Yeah And frankly the show Have a lot of potential but turned into Supernatural with a british guy. Yes Uh state of affairs one season that they made all the fuss about Marry me one season about a boy two seasons and one big happy a few episodes. Yeah So who was saved? Okay Yeah, who was making it the next season? ABC's American crime, which we have five episodes. I think on the dvr now. Yeah It's a very depressing show. It really is America's funniest home videos now without tom bergeron So did they announce who was gonna be? I they may have I have no idea. Yeah the bachelor Beyond the tank so that series that they just started as a spin-off of shark tank is already Not in another season. Yeah Blackish Castle. Yeah, that could that could I love nathan, but Castle's getting pretty long in the tooth Dancing with the stars, of course Fresh off the boat The here's a big surprise Gallivant I'm shocked. I'm shocked too, but I did like it. It's kind of a melbroxian Uh musical Musical comedy the fable. Yeah, it's weird and I'm shocked I was like we saw the last episode like it was clearly set it up for second season. Like well, that was a mistake Yeah, that's never gonna happen. I did happen. Oh my gosh The goldbergs Grey's anatomy how to get away with murder Marvel's agent carter got another season. There's another shocker. I think only because of the disney machine said We need something in that hole when agents of shield isn't on which also of course got a renewal The middle modern family, of course Nashville once upon a time scandal secrets and lies shark tank last man standing So they renewed a lot a lot As did cbs Two broke girls big bang theory, which is now already set up through season 10. I think they're in season eight Madam secretary mike and molly mom ncis new orleans scorpion bluebloods Csi cyber generic procedural criminal minds elementary another How many how many procedurals can you do the good wife, hawaii 5o ncis ncis Los Angeles person of interest odd couple the odd couple. Oh my god survivor Amazing race undercover boss So very little got changed there And really virtually nothing got changed on the cw. I think they Yeah, as you'll see they only have one new pilot. Wow So they renewed the 100 america's best next top model Arrow beauty and the beast flash izombie jane the virgin originals rain supernatural vampire diaries All the way across the board Fox uh, we had bobsburgers bones did get another season. You were wondering about that Yeah, I really think that one needs to go. I watch it. I still watch it. I'm part of the problem. Yeah But Oh, they're really stretching it there. Yeah brooklyn nine nine Yeah, we love that show empire, which is this huge hit that came out of nowhere Yes, and actually supposedly it was actually gaining audience Episode after episode which never happens Yeah But I think that just goes to show what you can do if you make it available online so you can catch up on those Right, you know, absolutely family guy Gotham last man on earth which kind of went from too much better and kind of hit a For a show that wasn't on for many episodes this season. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what they do with that In the next season, I'd almost like to see him move on to another city. Well, that's how they left it Yeah, wasn't it? Yeah with him and carol driving off into the sunset right another city Yeah, because that can get new people because he's poisoned everybody else by this point New girl, which is they're very interesting because they uh because zoe deschanel is pregnant And so they shot like the first four episodes of the next season before the end of this season And then fox and owls. Oh, it's gonna be mid-season So it's like well, thanks fox. You went to all this trouble The simpsons which hmm will it be the same? Yeah, yeah, so we have Harry shareer Who does like 40 voices on yes and some of the most recognizable voices on the show And the producers have said we'll get new voice actors. We'll move on What I was kind of hoping I'm an enormous simpsons fan keep this in mind But I was kind of hope kind of in the back of my mind said well eventually One of the voice actors main actors will die And that will end the series now. It's clear. This will be evergreen a la bug's bunny. Yes They'll just get another person in the role. We'll see how well it works without harry sure well, it's entirely possible that um They'll start trying to use new voice talent and they'll realize that it doesn't work and they will meet his demands, right? Yeah, which I didn't think were very unreasonable if what the media says is true Supposedly he just wanted to do other work other side jobs Which they allowed him to do in the past but now they say no, you can't do other jobs And he has a show in england where he's portraying nixon That he wants to do and it's like, you know, it's a voice role. He could do it anywhere on the planet Yeah, they've done that before And then sleepy hollow, which got another season NBC The black list celebrity apprentice chicago fire chicago pd chicago vet whatever it is chicago chicago chicago grim law and order svu Undatable which is going live this fall. They're gonna do a live sitcom. Oh geez and mysteries of laura Yeah Debra messing clearly has incriminating photos of NBC executives.
