I hope it's Dads, but I'm worried it will be WTTF since it's the lowest rated fall comedy premiere ever for NBC or something like that. Or maybe it will be Betrayal.
I think if We Are Men falls CBS could cancel it quickly out of fear of it dragging down other struggling Monday shows, Trophy Wife and Welcome to the Family are my next 2 choices
Although We Are Men is the first that comes to mind, CBS gave Partners seven episodes before cancelling it, so I think WAM will survive for a few weeks.
We Are Men. NBC are a lot more patient and have lowe expectations, so they will keep WTTF and Ironside on for a couple more weeks. Hostages is a drama which has no replacement for now except repeats until February, but CBS has picked up many comedies and has Mike & Molly waiting as well, it seems the best bet is We Are Men!
Difficult to pick, but I'm going to vote for Dads. It has aired more episodes than some of the other shows in the list, and I think it could easily get pulled off the schedule and cancelled at any given time now.
But it's doing better than some of their other Tuesday comedies, like the MUCH SUPERIOR Mindy Project. They didn't cancel Ben & Kate until like 16 episodes or so, I could see a similar situation happening. Hopefully they just send it to Fridays and let Raising Hope have Tuesdays.
I love Back in the Game solely for the character of the kid on the show, he's a genius and so damn cute. Trophy Wife's pilot actually managed to make me laugh out loud, but the second episode was... bleh. I hope neither show is cancelled, but I don't think the odds are on my side.
Betrayal replaced by Castle repeats??? Ya right, probably be OUAT in Wonderland repeats or SHIELD repeats, altho Nashville repeats would be nice, I think this season is going to be pretty good.
My thought was that if the premiere numbers were damaged by the early premiere available online/ ondemand etc... It could stay close to its current ratings and not drop much.. Thus, being safe for a while like you suggest.
Or....
It could drop significantly and those total viewer numbers will not seem very high (even for NBC) if it takes a 20%-33% hit like many shows do after the premiere.
My money is on the latter. So I chose early cancellation.
Dads really needs to go away. So do the other Seth McFarlane shows that have become quite unfunny thanks to his "protection from network execs" kicked in.

ReplyDeleteBetrayal i think..saw the pilot and a reviewer quote accurately "It's nothing more than rich mannequins humping each other"
ReplyDeleteBetrayal to be replaced by yet more Scandal repeats ;) ha

ReplyDeletedefinitely betrayal!! that pilot was beyond horrible!!
ReplyDeleteIronside would be my guess.
ReplyDeletei think its decent total viewers (for NBC) could keep it afloat for a few episodes

ReplyDeleteI went for Betrayal.

ReplyDeleteI hope ABC cancels Back in the Game before Trophy Wife.
ReplyDeletei liked WTTF but the ratings were awful i afraid that`s the one that gets the next shot! if not it it`s going to be We are men!

ReplyDeleteI really liked WTTF's pilot. I laughed out loud quite a few times. Hopefully the ratings improve.

Dads screams cancellation. Same goes for We are Men and Betrayal.
ReplyDeleteEither Betrayal or the NBC failures - Ironside and Welcome To The Family (although maybe that one will get thirteen episodes).
ReplyDeleteKnew I shouldn't have attached to WTTF. Damn you, Nielsen viewers!
NBC is really low on stable high-rated shows so they can go crazy cancelling everything.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I'm going to hold out hope WTTF makes it to the thirteen episode order because I don't think it'll get a full season.
ReplyDeleteAnd forever bitter at them for the bloodbath that took away Go On, tbh.
Could be!

I like BitG as well. It may not be for everyone but I think its hilarious and a perfect vehicle for James Caan.
ReplyDeletemy guess is that it could be Dads or We are Men, leaning toward CBS being a bit harder on it's programming so WaM more likely.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting on Betrayal. It was so horrible.
ReplyDeleteDads really needs to go away. So do the other Seth McFarlane shows that have become quite unfunny thanks to his "protection from network execs" kicked in.
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about Hostages :-/ Hoping they'll change time slot so that people would give it a chance. Cause then they'll probably get hooked :-)
ReplyDeleteWe Are Men. Mike and Molly has 22 episodes and CBS really cant expect it to grow.
ReplyDeleteBack in the game is on it's third strike. You are out!! Will be shocked If it gets a full season. It's really awful
