Thanks for the transcript Adam, nice one.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Adam!
ReplyDeleteI liked the schedule rundown . Interesting to get a peek into the mind of a TV executive... scary, but interesting.
blah, blah X-Factor,
blah blah Idol,
blah blah Animation,
blah blah Baseball,
Terra Nova is a "family" show? UGH *scratches off fall 'to watch' list'*,
I kept waiting to read "And our next question comes from AD Harris at SpoilerTV.com", but alas... it didn't come....
Some really interesting stuff in there between all the non scripted series babble. They do put a nice shine on everything they present don't they? TV executives are this centuries car salesmen I think.
Yay! Nobody bullied early renewal of FRINGE despite it's low ratings towards the season finale. but it was interesting to note if somebody from the panel get the idea from the execs their take on Fringe vs Supernatural vs Grimm. It is an interesting take that now sci-fi genres will go on head-to-head this fall :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I've been waiting for SPOILER TV's moment
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda sad that Sci-Fi is relegated to Friday nights usually. Better than no Sci-Fi on TV at all of course, but I would enjoy it spread throughout the week one day... I hope.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a better explanation for not picking up Locke & Key.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the read Adam!
I know... it wasn't FOX though, sadly it was my internet... I listened into the first 10-15 mins but my internet cut out and I was calling via skype and so I couldn't get back in for some questions
ReplyDelete:(
I got sent the transcript though as I missed the end and I posted it up for you all :)
Obviously Locke and Key did not have enough suits in it!
ReplyDeleteNah kidding aside...
Even though they will never say it, I think the explanation is that it's cheaper to make X-Factor or some 'reality' series that will get 2 to 4 times the ratings of a show like Locke and Key. And a series like X-Factor takes up multiple time slots, two or three days a week. It makes me sad.... Annoying as that sounds,I think it's just the truth of it.
I hope your hands are ok after beating your desk in anger at your internet provider! are ok after beating your desk in anger at your internet provider!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually the trees around the house... my house is in the middle of nowhere and is one of two houses on part of the line going through a small wooded area. As a result BT don't really look after the cables and so at times when it's windy the branches hit them causing some small interferences...Nothing a long ladder and a chainsaw wouldn't fix I'm sure :P
ReplyDeleteSteahfully remove said branches and call it an act of god.. If the local authorities come knocking just tell the it was in fact an act of god since you are a spoiler god....
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, create a vortex that sucks the tree into a parallel universe....
just to clear things up, you're living here, in our universe and not from the parallel universe :)
ReplyDeleteOh since since we're talking about sci-fi, what a shame for Wonder Woman and shame on NBC.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to note the fact that NBC can't launch a really successful comedy show, how dare them to cancel Outsourced (yeah, i'm being an Outsourced retard here, hehehe). Outsourced is doing really good until they moved it to a much alter timeslot to accommodate a fellow new comedy show. And Outsourced ratings declined, but that other new show was even horrible. They should have at least given Outsourced a boost by moving it back to its original timeslot. So shame on NBC. I'm actually wondering how many news shows this fall (2011-2012) will be back next year (2012-2013 season)
TV is all about money (and ratings)
ReplyDeleteMy Prediction....
ReplyDeleteI think 6 of the 12 will get a full season, but only 3 or 4 will be back for 2012-2013. Prime Suspect, Smash and Free Agents, The Firm, The Playboy Club and Awake will get a back nine order, but only the first 3 series in my list will get a second season.
Including you here @yahoo-IJIMDNY3LXKKMQU46F2ZTQVKXA:disqus so I can reply to you both at once!
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't the blight scorch the trees over there? I'm sure alternate me had no trouble quizzing Reilly and his FOX friends... dang and blast!
Sadly Skype is far cheaper to call the US than my phone, so I have to suffer from those branches :S
Btw, thanks for the 'Spoiler God' title, I'll be sure to add it to my resume :P
Seriously, while going through NBC's fall line-up, I'm like, "okay, this is the next "Event", while this looks like very-"Chase" for me, and so forth. Oh well, let's wait and see :)
