Yeah, I feel like if this show aired on, I don't know, Starz and didn't feature movie stars, the praise would be a lot more tempered.

QB1!

The first Matchbox 20 album.

Yeah, agreed. Broadcast TV is still mostly bad, but writing it all off is dumb and snobby.

Mom, The Carmichael Show, The Ranch, and the new One Day at a Time all have/had a good amount of critical acclaim.

First thing that came to mind:

A million percent agreed.

I'll second :|Alain|:'s comment. The season started out kind of wobbly for me, but around episode 5-6, it takes off and never looks back. Smart, focused, thematically strong. The character work they do with Mary is great. The finale is absurdly great.

First season starts good, gets GREAT, ends poorly.

It will absolutely be renewed. It's a third season show on a network that doesn't cancel third season shows (the last one was Veronica Mars) and The CW's Netflix deal says something about shows getting fourth seasons.

Yeah, every TCA Pedowitz says that the show will be on air as long as Jensen/Jared want to do it and he's in charge of the network.

It's the lowest rated show on broadcast television, but The CW needs to have CBS-produced shows on air since the network is a partnership between Warner Bros. and CBS. Going into next season with only one veteran (Jane) wouldn't be feasible, so with Reign ending after its upcoming fourth season and No Tomorrow doing…

No decision on either yet, but iZombie will definitely be back, IMO. The CW hasn't cancelled a third season show since Veronica Mars and their Netflix deal prevents any weird 2-3 season wonders anyway. Plus they've got some Rob Thomas projects in development, so I don't think they'd want to mess up their business…

YES. That show was just ridiculous in the best possible way.

Yeah, I watched those two bombs as well as Chasing Life, an ABC Family bomb about cancer.

I do and I think the reviews have been too glowingly positive.

I don't know, I think the pacing has been pretty bad since the beginning. Greg's arc felt very abrupt, as did Rebecca and Valencia becoming friends and WhiJo and Darryl saying they loved one another.

This is literally the second show from Lee Daniels. The first was Empire.

O'Neals is at or above a 1.0 about half the time this season.

To a lesser extent, you could maybe argue How I Met Your Mother since it's a multi-cam/single cam hybrid and that structure is unique to broadcast television as a whole, let alone CBS. But I guess where it always fit into multi-cam lineups, it didn't stick out as much as a Northern Exposure did.
