My guess is that The Blacklist gets the post-Super Bowl slot. It gives a huge boost to a show which will be long off the air and moving into a new night. That seems rather perfect to me. The comedies, if they succeed, move to the 8pm hour. Probably one of them will die (A to Z most likely) and Parks and Rec bridges

I love the idea behind this. A coming-of-age sitcom about kids/teenagers having a follow-up show nearly 15 years later, when they turned into adults and are raising their own children? That sounds like a sitcom version of the 7 Up! series or the Before trilogy, which depict the effects of time in a person's life.

It should be interesting to see if CBS will keep pushing towards single-cam comedies or if after this year's failed experiments, they'll just go running back to more multi-cams. It's not like CBS will need the absurd amount of comedies they needed this season anyway.

The show Mom reminds me most of is Suburgatory. Both are shows capable of amazing humanity and heartbreaking drama, with terrific actors (Allison Janney is so good here that she should win an Emmy, even if she has already a shelf full of them, and I wouldn't mind a nomination for Anna Faris either). Sometimes the

That's why I never root for my shows to be hits. I always root for them to be mediocrely rated and have the critical acclaim, which will then push the networks to renew them until they're got to go for syndication and simply end them.

I expect it to be the case, but the fact that they haven't announced it yet makes me concerned. With Thursday Night Footbal and Super Bowl on midseason, NBC has the perfect excuse to renew all of Thursdays shows to final 13-episode seasons and revamp the entire night on midseason.

We still have The Good Wife, which's one of the best shows on TV. Grey's Anatomy is still a hit, but it's so old that there's probably an apetite for a new medical drama out there.

I'm actually secretly rooting for a show called Chicago Hospital to be created and greenlighted on NBC next season or the season after that, even if I don't watch any of these shows. It would be so cool to have the 4 TV professions* residing in the same universe airing in the same network. If they were gutsy enough,

Small correction: not a pre-Game of Thrones Richard Madden. Sirens was released just after the first season of Game of Thrones.

That's true. I just mentioned the comments because that's the only way we, readers, can measure the viewership.

Weird, considering that Revolution and The Blacklist has more comments than some of the shows in danger.

I was about to say that to JP. If he had said that, I would've agreed with him. But that's not his line of thinking.

Summer has at least Orange is the New Black and Rectify, so I'd say no.

And Brody dies at the end of Homeland season 3.

I totally agree. I was hugely spoiled one time when I was reading a Big C review on this site. And it wasn't even a spoil about The Big C. No, no. It was a spoiler about The Sopranos, and that spoiler had absolutely no reason to be there except the reviewer being an asshole.

Also funny that the kid has been on the cast of two midseason comedies cancelled in their first season (the awful Sons of Tucson and the pretty lame 1600 Penn)

I don't know, I think this structure is bound to change after a couple of episodes. There's no way Katims (or anybody!) can do one season (even if it's just a 13 20-minute episode season) of this. At the very least, the Rachel Weisz character is introduced halfway through this season. Or maybe (if we're lucky) Fiona

Urgh, that show is unbearable. Every time I watched the opening where's pretty much just a bunch of people spitting, I could actually feel my brain nerves screaming in agony while dying. So bad.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I actually think that the Dan Schneider shows, while otherwise awful, are good in that regard. His shows are like the wonderland for kids: kids live by themselves in a world somewhat especially designed to satisfy their wildest dreams. Sam and Cat hang out in a place that is waited by robots,

There isn't a single Disney Channel sitcom that is any good (nor there is one from Nickelodeon), but Good Luck Charlie is at least watchable because it didn't turn kids into excruciating little freaks hungry for fame or crazy pop culture machines. That show about the two little divas who dream of becoming dancers is
