Caprica - CANCELED

episodes pulled from schedule. They're going to air the remaining episodes next year sometime.

however, SyFy recently greenlit a BSG movie that is based around a 20-something Adama.

I just twittered about this. Am I surprised? no. Am I sad, a bit. Mainly due to the fact Caprica and I guess Warehouse 13 is all SyFy's got (sorry Stargate, Sanctuary, Eureka, and Haven fans). And the truth be, it was OKAY, but I was into the show more in the hope it would get better over time. BSG did anyway. But I can't be surprised given it is SyFy and they seem to be run in the same way their parent network is, NBC.

Now if the guy running USA Network were involved, I'd be more surprised.

What will replace it? as I posted on the comments section over on that tvbtn story, perhaps Caprica's James Marsters new show Three Inches about a group of Superheros, Marsters playing the lead who can move objects with his mind, but only 3 inches, lol. Rather Pushing Daisies-like (or The Tick perhaps?).

Otherwise, the status of something Bryan Fuller has talked about working with SyFy hopefully will be announced. "Sellevision" or something else.

edit: someone posted something about Fuller doing a remake of The Munsters which I would certainly be curious about.

but as for the BSG universe..we have the rest of those episodes to be burned off sometime in 2011, and then the Will Adama in his 20's movie. I suppose it's better than the whole thing going bye bye already.

I hope Alessandra Torresani and Magda Apanowicz namely go onto other, better things. I feel bad for Magda especially given that's twice in recent years (Kyle XY) her CABLE-based show got canceled before it could end it's story.

Caprica Update

10/5/10 6:14AM


Well I don't have a lot of time to comment, but the show and Season 1.5 actually does return this evening at 9PM on SyFy. Why it got pushed up or HOW, I honestly never read any of the stories that explained it. I know it had to do with the writers contracts expiring and needing a new one around the 2nd week of August. Perhaps they got one? or perhaps the geniuses at SyFy finally wised up for once and realized they should air the rest of Season 1's episodes sooner rather than later (nearly 1 year after Season 1 premiered).

As far what happens, etc..it looks promising. It appears based on that trailer, Amanda Graystone dies or goes missing and Daniel captures her avatar and creates an interactive hologram of her. Very much like Zooey.

I guess given I was into the show last Winter when it aired, and with not a huge rush of new good shows (there have been a few, namely Rubicon) along with potential upcoming cancellations (Chuck?), I'm as much if not more excited to see where the show goes here. And by some chance, it gets renewed and comes back either in the Winter or at worst, the Fall of 2011.

Late July Article

Well, it's not 86'ed yet, but it was originally supposed to return to the air sometime this Fall; however it was recently announced the 2nd half of it's 1st Season (1.5) will air in January now.

And that link above mentions how as early as next week they may announce if it's coming back for a 2nd Season or not, due to next week (being August) contracts are to expire.

I just mentioned something on imdb about the SyFy channel. Of course they are owned by NBC, who like pretty much any of the large networks, often cancel good shows and replace them with bad ones. SyFy channel in a lot of ways does the same thing. However, the USA Network is also owned by NBC, but unlike SyFy and the parent network, comes up with many good shows and actually RENEWS THEM.

My friend and I have had these rants on our Psych podcast on more than 1 occasion. Why doesn't NBC have the people who run the USA Network also not only take over on SyFy but their own network itself. It's pretty baffling to be honest. As my friend likes to make the analogy, NBC is like a last place Major League Baseball team who has a lot of really good AAA talent, but fails to promote those players to their Major League roster to save their butt. The logic, at least from afar, doesn't make much of any sense at all to us.

Royal Pains - Season 2 Premieres in June

In watching the Season finale of Burn Notice tonight, they showed ads for both In Plain Sights upcoming season and of course now Royal Pains. It starts airing new episodes in June.

But I haven't scowered the USA network's twitter's nor the website or forums to see what their plans may be with all these shows over the Summer. They may do 1 show per night. But that would have something moving to Mondays. Royal Pains or White Collar perhaps.

Or, another new show?

As for RP, I'm definitely looking forward to it's return in a few months. Hank Med was broke at the end of last season. So how that gets resolved, Hank's relationship with Jill (the female doctor) and her ex. And then the board that banned him. The similarities to Burn Notice seem to be there certainly.

White Collar: Great USA Network show

edit: not a 2-episode Winter season. But these tv show sites need to get their shit together. All I can find is 2 episodes on tv.com and imdb.

this zaptoit link at least lists a 3rd episode, Tuesday February 2nd, the same evening of the big Lost season premiere.

6 episodes/weeks I think would give them 13. It did get renewed for a 2nd season, which I would presume will have it airing back-2-back with Psych next Summer.

No time now, but I'll write more about this show soon..and/or when the season is over
