JackFetch Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Undercover Boss has the potential to be a great show, but it's obviously fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Rules of Engagement (besides being utterly terrible) hits its syndication number at the end of this season. Any possible additional income from future episodes would be dwarfed by the cost of making them. It's finally gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Add this to SyFy's list: Syfy is joining creative forces with Fox Television Studios, Academy Award©-winning director/producer Robert Zemeckis, producers Jack Rapke and Jackie Levine, and feature film writing team John Brancato and Michael Ferris (Terminator Salvation, The Game) to develop the series project No Place, it was announced today by Mark Stern, President of Original Content, Syfy and Co-Head Original Content, Universal Cable Productions. Zemeckis and Rapke are executive producers along with Brancato and Ferris who will write the pilot. Circle of Confusion will also produce the project with David Alpert (The Walking Dead) and Rick Jacobs as executive producers. Matt Hawkins and Marc Silvestri serve as executive producers for Top Cow. In No Place, residents of a high-tech gated community awaken one morning to find themselves alone and cut off from the rest of reality - nothing exists beyond the community's walls. Only one man has contact with the powers responsible for what is known as "The Rift," and he must lead his fellow residents beyond the void to discover the truth. "We are very excited to be in business with this amazing A-list team," said Stern. "We look forward to them bringing their high-quality feature-level sensibility to this taut sci-fi drama." It's based on the comic The Test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hooray! I was sick of E4 advertising that dross like it was the best thing on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 The Cleveland Show has been cancelled, yet somehow American Dad is still on. Because American Dad is actually funny? And like Stavros said, over here, the channel e4 was ramming the ads down your throat every half hour, I'd be fine with it, if the show was crap.

Dan Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm not a huge fan of McFarlane in general, and American Dad! is probably my least not-favorite of his stuff, mostly because he really only does voice-over on it. He left she showrunning to others years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 American Dad at least was trying to do something other than Family Guy. The Cleveland Show has always been a clone and I never really cared about the cast on it. Considering the sheet amount of times that Cleveland showed back up on Family Guy thus far, he's probably just going to get folded back in, maybe the rest of his cast as well but probably not.
