Good info.

[ctaulbee]

"Into the Badlands" is of course my favorite on this list, will be interesting to see where they go next season as they have been killing off main characters like GOT does all this season.

[chouette]

"Into the Badlands" is of course my favorite on this list, will be interesting to see where they go next season as they have been killing off main characters like GOT does all this season.

I haven't started to watch it yet, but it's sitting there, patiently waiting for me.

[Fogdude]

I've actually seen very few of these. Blindspot, The Blacklist, The 100, Criminal Minds, The X-Files. Of all, I'm happiest to see The 100 returning, as well as Blindspot. The X-Files was a total waste.

[sauron]

Some good shows being renewed one I was hoping to be renewed was Limitless there were rumours of Netflix picking it up but don't think it's happening now.

Into The Badlands, I need to start watching as only heard good things about it.

[ctaulbee]

The Originals was renewed too, that is my favorite Vampire/Werewolf show.


These three here the world would be better off without but they just won't die.

Renewed: "Dancing With the Stars," "The Bachelor," and ""Shark Tank"

[Demonology]

Frequency - gutted was brilliant and had loads more potential..... Oh well at least
the series that messes with your brain gets a second season (American Gods)

[chouette]

I looked into "American Gods" and I think CT would like this series, LOTS OF BLOOD!

[ctaulbee]

It's on my list to check into

[Fogdude]

It took some talking, but I finally convinced my wife to give American Gods a chance. We'll see.

[Jazzy]

Hope they get translated in French....

[bankska22]

No reason why The Outsiders should be cancelled. Great show. I am done with WGN.

[chouette]

Hope they get translated in French....

OMG, if there's one thing that I can't do is watch an English TV Series or movie that is translated in French and the same goes for French series or movies. The only exception is if Roy Dupuis is part of the cast...

 

Jazzy, I watched "Votez Bougon" this afternoon with hubby. What a stupid movie... ugh!

[topmeasure]

I was truly surprised that after Bill Paxton passed away, the creators of Training Day have not honored him at all or mentioned his passing.

[ctaulbee]

Canceled: "2 Broke Girls"

Thank the gods!

[stampe]

lol CT

im surprised they canceled The Catch and Last Man Standing.
apparently Matthew Perry got the news that his show was canceled by
noticing his name was removed from his dressing room lol. thats pretty harsh.

[VincentLupo]

I liked Last Man Standing.  It was a good old sappy sitcom.

[chouette]

Canceled: "2 Broke Girls"

Thank the gods!

LOL, thought the exact same thing! Both my sons love that show and I just don't get it.

[chouette]

apparently Matthew Perry got the news that his show was canceled by
noticing his name was removed from his dressing room lol. thats pretty harsh.
