This should have been posted yesterday, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of NBC's Michael Chiklis sitcom Daddio.

This is from the creator of Betrayal so maybe he wants to avoid those sorts of titles…

ABC ordered 10 episodes before they even found a writer for this version. I think that's an incredibly stupid way to go about making TV.

They also have the Minority Report pilot….

Originally the claim was that they knew she wouldn't be available all season and so they had a plan to write her out at any possible time, but in more recent weeks a Bravo spokesperson used the phrase "creative differences."

The Internet tells me that Quantico training lasts 20 weeks. How long can a show stretch that out?

A number of movies mentioned in that article weren't Lifetime movies except in the sense that they were rerun many times on Lifetime; by that standard, the Twilight movies used to be FX movies but are now ABC Family movies.

I suspect ABC Family's viewers will reject this, and that's not because of the issues involved, but because ABC Family's viewers have rejected every reality series ABC Family's offered these past few years: Beverly Hills Nannies, The Vineyard, Spell-Mageddon, Dancing Fools, Freak Out.

This isn't Game of Thrones, with a huge cast filming on multiple continents; it's a NBC sitcom that appears to be the second coming of The Steve Harvey Show. And two of the casting

This is a ridiculous lawsuit. The lengthy list of comparisons between New Girl and the other thing included things like:

Judy Greer's history of starring in live-action series:
Love & Money - CBS (1999) Canceled after 4 episodes; 2 additional episodes aired later.
Love Monkey - CBS (2006) Canceled after 3 episodes; 5 additional episodes aired on VH-1.
Miss Guided - ABC (2008) 7 episodes.
Mad Love - CBS (2011) 13 episodes
Married - FX

And got a Television Critics Association award nomination!

Shyamalan isn't writing Wayward Pines, and I'm not sure he's directing anything but the first hour. The creator/showrunner is Chad Hodge, whose previous two shows (the CW's Runaway, NBC's The Playboy Club) each ran for 3 episodes.

He's also a writer on this show.

Yes - in a season 4 episode, Vinnie moved in with a guy who turned out to be gay, and he was initially uncomfortable about it.

I've read the script, and
