Ratings flop pilot, though.. wrong home for it on ABC Family perhaps.

abcfsk, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 06:50 (1 year ago) Permalink

is it possible to have bad ratings on ABC Family? are they like 'oh no, you're not raking in the cash like Switched At Birth'?

here's my lumber, so jack me maybe (some dude), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 10:50 (1 year ago) Permalink

I'll comfortably chalk up any Bunheads ratings troubles to the show's title. That's a helluva hurdle for the uninitiated to jump. I'm loving it so far, myself, though. Stokes those understimulated GG pleasure centers.

people are probably afraid the show stars the Karmin lady

here's my lumber, so jack me maybe (some dude), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 15:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

it's a very good show, if it gets canned that will be huge travesty. maybe someone else would pick it up though.

i like bunheads! but i am kind of a sucker for anything dance related.

lol i'm pretty sure if you get canceled by ABC Family the only step down left is public access

some dude, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 02:14 (11 months ago) Permalink

why do ppl think it'll get cancelled? it's charming, done by gilmore girl person... are the ratings that terrible?

Mordy, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 02:16 (11 months ago) Permalink

ratings not good, but I don't know enough about the ABC Family model so I can't really interpret what it means.

Awkward is back on MTV this week.

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 02:18 (11 months ago) Permalink

if it's not about teenagers and it's on ABC Family => THE CANCELLATION HAMMER

2 weeks pass...

man, Suits..
it's kinda just another one of those diverting, kinda fun USA shows, but when i hear a line like
"well, that asshole's coming back, and it's not because he wants to be #2!" CUE COMMERCIAL BREAK
i have to laugh at how inherently dumb AND entertaining it is

Nhex, Thursday, 12 July 2012 03:35 (11 months ago) Permalink

haha

love that show

new season of Episodes is super funny

straight up now tell me will I be a fucking lump forever? (some dude), Thursday, 12 July 2012 03:42 (11 months ago) Permalink

do you like dance moms? i feel like i'm the only one here who watches that.

ostrich tuning (get bent), Thursday, 12 July 2012 03:58 (11 months ago) Permalink

I like Suits because the two mains look so much like bizarro Barney & Marshall from HIMYM, heh. Also - filmed in Toronto! Haven't seen S2 yet though.

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 12 July 2012 15:27 (11 months ago) Permalink

Since I am way, way behind on Breaking Bad (didn't even make it through the first season), tonight's premiere is something that I'll probably see in about six years or whenever I get around to it.

Instead I watched Political Animals on USA and it was...a shaky start to a show that may get better? Bud Hammond aka Bill Clinton is almost a fucking cartoon, but just about everything else seems alright.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 16 July 2012 03:52 (11 months ago) Permalink

xxp I have watched some of Dance Moms, was horrified and backed away quickly

Nhex, Monday, 16 July 2012 03:55 (11 months ago) Permalink

Political Animals looks so worthless from the ads that i actually felt relieved for everyone involved when i learned that it was just a one-off miniseries and not aiming to be a long term thing.

some dude, Monday, 16 July 2012 03:57 (11 months ago) Permalink

So far, it's not as wonky as The West Wing but it's also about as deep as a rain puddle. If it maintains the typical fluff of a summer USA show, then no harm done.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 16 July 2012 04:01 (11 months ago) Permalink

i'm wondering if small town security has anything going for it

New reason to love BUNHEADS: upcoming episode is titled, "No One Takes Khaleesi’s Dragons."

only reason to love bunheads these days. zzzzzzzzz

Mordy, Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:23 (11 months ago) Permalink

I'm still liking it.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:23 (11 months ago) Permalink

Most recent episode wasn't the best but I still dig it.

it's so so awful, actually had me going wow Sigourney is just terrible, was she always a bad actress and i just never noticed?

Barack 2 Chainz Obama (some dude), Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:24 (11 months ago) Permalink

Yeah I think it's pretty solid. I'd like to see it renewed but I guess that's unlikely..maybe?

The girls aren't that interesting as of yet but there's plenty of funny bits and I'm stilly happy to watch Kelly Bishop. And that recycling dance was pretty good.

xpost

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:25 (11 months ago) Permalink

Maybe Sigourney thinks she's still being mo-capped.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:25 (11 months ago) Permalink

The girls aren't that interesting

I like Boo and Sasha. The other two are also-rans.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:26 (11 months ago) Permalink

Is Sasha the rich one? If so, she and Boo are the only ones that have had any real characterisation so far (unless you count the other one's long-term boyfriend).

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:28 (11 months ago) Permalink

Yeah, the rich one.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:29 (11 months ago) Permalink

Yeah, the other two aren't even really necessary imo. xps

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:29 (11 months ago) Permalink

Political Animals...I'm out, see ya.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 23 July 2012 05:29 (10 months ago) Permalink

ok, just catching up on this week's Bunheads. Can anyone explain the "Istanbul" dance routine? Did I miss something?

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Wednesday, 25 July 2012 20:48 (10 months ago) Permalink

Maybe that was a routine Sasha was doing for the Joffrey?

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 20:50 (10 months ago) Permalink

anybody wanna talk Small Town Security? Because i think it's pretty great so far.

I dont even know that I think this sucks per se (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 July 2012 20:57 (10 months ago) Permalink

I thought Sasha was already into Joffrey?

forks: hey this "small town security" show on amc makes me want to fucking stab someone

Anyone else watching Alphas?

oh shit Alphas is back on

keeping things contextual (DJP), Thursday, 26 July 2012 17:47 (10 months ago) Permalink

yup. premiere contains a quality WTF visual, too.

Simon H., Thursday, 26 July 2012 18:04 (10 months ago) Permalink

Chris Eigeman! Kelly Bishop's beau is Hostetler from Deadwood!

Really digging Bunheads. One episode left until "summer break"...I was aware of this ABC Family practice but I need to look into the reasons/economics. Mostly because I haven't heard if it's renewed, but heard that the ratings were bad, so I need to know if it's coming back.

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Tuesday, 7 August 2012 02:34 (10 months ago) Permalink

it's been p good the last few episodes

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 August 2012 02:35 (10 months ago) Permalink

Man...way too short a season. Just when I was comfortably settling back into Palladinoverse. It had better return!

I'll just take this opportunity to point the Bunheads fans in the house towards the returning Switched At Birth, which you may find enjoyable.

Old Lunch, Tuesday, 7 August 2012 03:16 (10 months ago) Permalink

Tonight was the first time I found myself rolling my eyes at zippy dialogue in Bunheads, when three of the girls were talking about movies in the dressing room and one of them mentioned the Stonehenge mishap in Spinal Tap. Okay...SURE.

Still like this show, though. It found its comfort zone really quickly and I hope it survives hiatus.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 7 August 2012 04:18 (10 months ago) Permalink

I roll my eyes at several things in every episode, but I'm accustomed to it. Somehow part of the charm. That kid explaining the Astaire routine was awkward in that sense, but I'm cool to flow with it. I had the same problem with GG.
