 This is the SF Productions podcast network Get you in this new TV show up front from the pop culture bunker I'm Mindy and I'm Mark you can check out our audio podcast how I got my wife to read comics on iTunes on our website SF podcast network comm as the traditional TV season comes to a close the networks hold their archaic Upfronts event where they try to sell advertisers on their new shows before they air aka up front It also means the networks make their final calls on which shows that they already have are renewed or canceled Yes, it's always a Tense time So let's start with the cancellations and ABC American crime the catch conviction Dr. Ken Imaginary Mary after eight whole episodes last man standing Notorious is a likely cancellation. I think they just haven't said it The real O'Neill's secrets and lies and time after time after five episodes I don't know that any of those were really worth worrying about no CBS cancellations to broke girls criminal minds beyond borders Doubt after two episodes. I don't even remember that that was the one with the girl from Grey's Anatomy the blonde what's her name that they oh Catherine. Hi. Yeah, okay. Yeah, she was on that for maybe two episodes That was it The great indoors the odd couple pure genius Training day also unknown at this point ransom Okay, so many of those are being replaced by very similar TV shows because they didn't work Let's try the exact same thing and see if that works. Yes See W cancellations course This is smaller because CW doesn't have as as expansive a schedule basically two hours a night five nights a week, right? Frequency and no tomorrow Also, the series are either ending or about to end for rain in the vampire diaries Not really canceled. No, they were allowed to finish. Yes Fox cancellations APB making history pitch Rosewood Scream Queens shots fired sleepy hollow son of zorn also 24 legacy unknown and prison break unknown. I'm sort of sad about son of zorn Yeah, but I wonder if they've kind of rung what they could out of that concept But it was cute. It was a cute show and sleepy hollow went is a classic example of one season too far. Yes When your co-lead leaves, that's when you wrap it up NBC cancellations the blacklist redemption not the blacklist. No Redemption is that like a reality show where characters get to redeem. Yeah Emerald City Yeah, that show they push back like 12 times. Yeah, and then they showed it and nobody watched it Powerless after nine episodes and that's a real shame. Yeah, also timeless Cancelled then uncancelled three days later. Did someone go back in the lifeboat and change history? And trial and error Unknown. Yeah All the other shows were renewed a few notes on those renewals Goldbergs at ABC two more seasons Modern family two more seasons, which will put them to ten seasons and again the families are really breaking up there So, you know, it's hard to imagine what they'll be able to do there Yeah, and Quantico will get a short 13 episode season and wrap up On CBS Big Bang Theory two more seasons, which will take them to 12 seasons Yeah, it's hard to imagine. Yeah Fox new girl will get a short final season Mm-hmm, and apparently there's a time jump involved in that. Okay, because they love their time jumps near the end Yeah, Simpsons will get two more seasons, which will take them to 30 Seasons and that is not necessarily the end. Oh, no. Oh, no. No, this is just guaranteed until one of the major voice actors Passes away. It'll be on the air. Yeah, and even then it's a question NBC this is us got two more seasons. That was the one big hit that NBC had Let's move on to the new series introduced at the upfronts now as always. There's some trends Yes, there is fill-in-the-blank returns to TV. Yeah, there is different shows same concept last year It was time travel and this year as you'll see it's military drama military drama Stars who the networks insist that we're gonna like by putting them in show after show after show Yeah, eventually they'll find one that sticks exactly Starting on ABC the good doctor a drama with a 25-year-old our Autistic savant doctor Freddie Highmore stars. He's from Bates motel, and he's Charlie in Charlie and the chocolate factory the remake Richard Schiff from the West Wing David shore from house will exact produce me I Don't think because what we need are more medical dramas. Yeah The mayor a sitcom a 27-year-old rapper wins the mayor ship is the whole thing a stunt Brandon Michael Hall stars and IMDB shows three movies for him in post-production, and that's about it for his Well, it's an introducing. Yeah, it's very much introducing the thing Evette Nicole Brown and Leah Michelle are also in it. I don't know if it's a good fit for ABC I don't know if it's a good fit for ABC, but I sort of liked the trailer. Yeah. Yeah, it's alright I really like a vet Nicole Brown. I just wonder if it's not the right network. Yeah The Gospel of Kevin, which is apparently a one-hour comedy Man touches a meteorite meets a messenger from God and then has to find 35 righteous souls Jason Ritter stars so Big concept here. Mm-hmm. This is either gonna crash and burn or become a huge hit There were a couple things it sort of reminded me of you know, like maybe touched by an angel or But Joan of Arcadia, which he was on before right Jason Ritter, right? So, you know, very it could work It could not work. Yep Ten days in the valley a drama Cura Sedgwick returns to TV Mystery producer so a TV mystery producer has a real-life mystery when her daughter is kidnapped And I think Sedgwick can probably sell the show. Yeah She's the reason it's on the air. This is another one that seems to sort of have a limited life, though You know, right you solve the mystery of the daughter and then what happened? Yeah People get annoyed that you didn't resolve the story. So or the kid is kidnapped again Every season it's like taken the kid kidnapped everything every year Meanwhile over on CBS young Sheldon I said come probably the most talked about new show. Yeah a Big bang theory spinoff showing Sheldon's childhood in Texas Ian Armitage plays the title character. He's from Big Little Lies Zoe Perry Laurie Metcalfe's actual daughter plays the mom and he is pitch-perfect at the role Yes, she's got Laurie Metcalfe Sheldon's mom voice. I wondered if it was dubbed at the beginning It was actually Laurie Metcalfe doing the voice. Yeah Jim Parsons narrates and his exec producer with Chuck Laurie It's single camera, which is new for Laurie almost everything he does is Multicam in front of a live audience. Yeah, the trailer. I thought was quite touching. Yes, but again very limited Concept if you stick with the storyline that you hit in the Big Bang Theory, right? Well But this one he's nine. So that means they have at least 10 years Oh because he goes to college. Well, yeah, it's like 12. Yeah, so they got three years Well, but then he goes goes to masters and post-doc and you know Nine Jkl sitcom Unemployed TV star takes an end New York City apartment between his parents and a competitive brother Whackiness ensues. I could not even make it through the trailer for this show Mark Ferstein stars who has failed series going back for two decades and then he got real pains. Yeah Linda Lavin Elliot Gould David Walton another guy who they're like you're gonna like David Walton. I do like David Walton, but he's Just picks terrible things to be a waste of talent. Yes The first five seconds were I almost I almost couldn't watch the rest after that watch the first five seconds of the Okay mark step right there. Okay There is too much to talk about in one episode. So we're gonna do the rest in another episode, okay?
