Thanks to Timmer and Laura3341 for the heads up.
Deadline reports that FOX has picked up the Bad Robot project with a pilot production commitment. The show is described as "an action-packed buddy cop show, set in the near future, when all LAPD officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids." Fringe's executive producer and showrunner, J.H. Wyman, is penning the script, with Abrams, Wyman, Bryan Burk and Kathy Lingg executive producing.

I was so worried, that we wouldn't have any more good Sci-fi shows on FOX. And this one seems to be awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHmm.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to the stage now that either Abrams' projects are great hits or doleful misses.
I don't really llike the sound of this too much. it sort of reminds me a little of that future cop film with Stallone where he went into the future and was paired up with the peace loving cop Bullock; the name of the film doesn't come to mind at the moment.
However it seems to be the sloppy normal humans paired up with superior being types card. Sort of like Kirk/Spock! :)
Do you remember when Joey in Friends had the TV show with the robot? This sounds a bit like that;-)
ReplyDeleteMac and Cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBromance up your life :D Thank you, J.J and J.H. :-)
ReplyDeleteFrom the people behind Fringe? Got to be worth trying the pilot at least (if, of course, it gets picked up beyond a pilot).
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the exact same thing !!
ReplyDeleteJJ & Wyman - sounds brilliant. The premise thought, not so much.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! Hilarious! Look how times are changing.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound too brilliant but it is brought to life, with those people behind it, I will try it, for sure
ReplyDeleteI, Robot meets Fringe?
ReplyDeleteIf it gets picked up,i'll at least check it out!
ReplyDeleteIt's got all the people backing it, but "buddy cop show" with an android... it doesn't seem too promising to me. I'll have to wait it out and see the cast, and maybe more info...
ReplyDeleteJ.J's shows have been getting worse since Lost and Fringe. Please bring us something good again! Undercovers, Alcatraz, Person of Interest and now Revolution looks like it could be a flop too. It's a shame, but I still have faith in you!
ReplyDeletePerson Of Interest improved a lot around the ninth episode. It's definitely not a flop!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds absolutely f*cking stupid... and I'm gonna watch it.
ReplyDeletehahaha, nice Friends reference
ReplyDeleteOh no, sorry, I didn't mean to say POI was flop, it's just nowhere near his better work. It's still weak imo, but not a flop. Alcatraz was certainly a flop though.
ReplyDeleteYou had me until you said Person of Interest. It does good numbers and has the procedural thing as well as the serial thing going for it. And far as I can tell, JJ is there in name only besides the series premiere.
ReplyDeleteI need TO'Q back on TV for sure but was hoping they would find a recurring on PoI for him. Love the chemistry of him and Michael Emerson.
ReplyDeleteIs this Jasika Nicoles show?! Oh Please Cast her!
ReplyDeleteIMO, Person of Interest is stronger than Fringe (at least relative to where the two series were at the end of Season 1 at least). Stronger cases-of-the-week, and a more focused endgame right from the get-go (something that really worked to the detriment of early Fringe).
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize! :) LOST and Fringe definitely are his best. I agree with V_s too though, if I had to compare POI with Fringe just based on their first seasons, I don't know which one I would prefer.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, Undercovers definitely sucked and Alcatraz was never as good as it could have been.
Something about buddy cop and android doesn't jive with me. But whatevs I'll wait until there's a promo or something.
ReplyDeleteI think that's only sort of true, because person of interest is more immediately about the here and the now in a so far 35 year period...where as the other shows deal with multiple universe and this need to move away from the procedural because it is an exploration of whom we are through the plausibility of fate/relativity in the universes including the eventual evolutionary law of averages as a means to adapt/change/survive....so it needs to become more and more about the people and less about the fringe events themselves... because it's about learning why any of these people were meant to do this and face what they come to face.
ReplyDeleteBut that being said IMO POI will have get more character driven and focus on the machine more if it wants to keep viewers...people also don't like getting lead to no where, with out understanding the reasons why.
