Yeah, when he was cast, I thought he would be the big bad of the season. Or at least a really prominent figure in Nassau.

I was surprised how much I liked Grandfathered.

It's been renewed for two seasons after this one + brings FOX all types of acclaim and award attention. It's fine.

Last year, midseason episode counts weren't revealed/confirmed until summer TCA (July-ish).

Only one Hart season was on Fridays.

The CW only renews stuff that airs on Friday for syndication purposes, e.g. Reign, Vampire Diaries, Originals. Anything young (The Carrie Diaries, The Messengers, Cult) or already with "enough" episodes (Hart of Dixie, Nikita) is usually in trouble.

As are Jane the Virgin's, but nobody seems to be calling for that show's head.

The Carrie Diaries was moved to Fridays and cancelled. Hart of Dixie was moved to Fridays and cancelled. The Messengers was on Fridays and cancelled, as was Cult.

Reign did better on Friday than either Monday show and carried its entire Thursday audience to Friday, but because it's not "cool" by the cultural gatekeepers, people act like it doesn't have an audience.

Jane the Virgin isn't that much ahead, yet you never hear anybody go on and on about how poor its ratings are.

Nah, it won't be a burn-off. It got a lot of buzz in development and TV loves itself some recognizable IP, so they'll give it a big launch January-February.

I think you're trying to say nautical.

Angel From Hell and Life in Pieces were both really bad, though. These shows look terrible, as well, but there's nothing smart about the CBS comedy brand.

For what it's worth, CBS was concerned about Bull and Training Day testing too male: http://deadline.com/2016/05…

When she was cast, part of her conditions were that she could do both shows, so if House of Lies gets renewed, she's not leaving.

Yeah, I quit in season three, as well.

They're gaga over her shows because they get people watching live, which the networks are having a hard time in doing. Even with HTGAWM and Scandal diving in the ratings, they're still some of ABC's top dramas and Grey's is far and away the biggest drama on ABC.

So you're defending him because you want to bang him?

When Kaitlin Olson was cast, part of her deal said she would be able to do both The Mick and It's Always Sunny at the same time since their production schedules are different.

FOTB is renewed and won't be flexed into Wednesdays, so I don't think you're correct here.
