Ausiello behauptet, dass Close to Home kurz vor der Einstellung steht, weil es zuviele Zuschauer bei den 18-49jährigen vom lead-in Ghost Whisperer verliert.

Macht Sinn :!:

[(chris)]

Wegen zu hoher Produktionskosten. Scheinbar ist es teurer eine Serie am Freitag abend auszustrahlen... versteh ich zwar nicht, aber deswegen sind es halt nur 17 Folgen.

da hast du dich verlesen. Die Produktionskosten sind natürlich für eine Freitagsserie nicht höher als für eine Montagsserie, aber am Freitag sind die Zuschauerzahlen und damit auch die Werbeeinnahmen nicht mehr hoch genug um die bisherigen Produktionskosten zu decken bzw. ausreichend Gewinn einzufahren.
Ohne James Caan gebe ich der Serie aber eh nur noch ein Jahr. Hoffentlich unterschreibt er jetzt bei einer interessanteren Serie(von Las Vegas habe ich nur den Piloten gesehen). Ich könnte ihn mir gut als Polizeichef in einer der zahllosen neuen Copserien vorstellen.

Ach so. Geb dir aber recht, ohne James Caan wird die Serie nicht so funktionieren wie mit ihm...

Close To Home war auch letzte Season schon ein Wackelkandidat und ist doch erst sehr spät verlängert worden, als keiner mehr damit rechnete.

Jill Clayburgh würde außerdem ebenfalls für "Dirty Sexy Money" gecastet.
Nachdem Rhea Seehorn nun für eine neuen Piloten gecastet würde, heißt das wohl das man "The Singles Table" abschreiben kann. Mal schauen ob NBC die Serie noch irgendwann im Sommer verbrennt oder einfach im Archiv verschwinden lässt...

Episodes also will air after AMERICAN IDOL tonight and Thursday, March 8 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

The ratings report card for the series premiere of ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER? broke records as FOXs highest-rated series premiere in 13 years and the highest-rated series premiere on any network in more than five years among Adults 18-49 (11.2/26), and in eight years among Total Viewers (26.6 Mil.). The series debut also made the honor roll by retaining the largest audience ever out of an AMERICAN IDOL lead-in among Adults 18-49 (93%) and in Total Viewers (88%).

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER?, hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, is an atypical game show measuring adults lack of knowledge as revealed by how much theyve forgotten since grammar school. Grownup contestants find themselves in a classroom setting, revisiting their youth, as they tackle subjects theyve already been taught, ranging from art to geography and math to social studies. However, the players are not alone and there is a way for contestants to cheat in this classroom. The adults have the opportunity to get some help in the form of elementary advice from real grade-schoolers who have hit the books.

Mark Burnett Productions produces ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER? in association with Zoo Productions. Burnett, Roy Bank, Barry Poznick and John Stevens serve as executive producers.

Amy Acker, Nathan Fillion und Katie Finneran in einer Serie? Seriously? Tim hat wirklich ein Herz für seine alten Seriendarsteller.

Hoffentlich ist die Serie auch gut.

Das hoffe ich auch, bin aber prinzipell schon optimistsich.
Die Premise ist für mich kein Problem. Ich mag "Cannonball Run" und Co. Ich hab eher ein Problem damit dass das wohl eine Big-Mystery-Serie mit vielen gesplitteten Storylines wird. Naja, mal schauen...

THE INSIDE fand ich zwar ganz nett (von dem, was ich gesehen habe), war aber nicht wirklich ein MUST-SEE-HIT für mich....

Also ich liebe diese Serie. Tolle Charaktere und Stories, außerdem gefällt mir der Stil einfach. Wobei es IMO schon geholfen hat die Serien komplett und in richtiger Reihenfolge zu sehen (FOX hat diese mal wieder vertauscht).

Paul Reubens has joined the cast of "Area 52," a half-hour laffer about a group of government employees who keep watch over an alien. Reubens will play the alien in the NBC U TV Studio-produced pilot, which is being directed by Dean Parisot.

Nachdem ich jetzt die ersten Dirt-Folgen mit ihm gesehen habe, finde ich diese Meldung sehr bedauerlich. Mit seinem Charakter(ehemals seriöser Journalist, der zum zynischen Alkoholiker wurde) schien Dirt endlich eine zweite originelle, fast schon kultverdächtige Serienfigur neben Don Konkey (dem schizophrenen Paparazzo) einzuführen. Naja, auch ohne ihn befand sie sich schon auf einem guten Weg. Zwar immer noch die schwächste F/X Dramaserie, aber sie hat sich von Folge zu Folge deutlich gesteigert und besitzt mittlerweile eine Qualität, die mich auf eine zweite Staffel hoffen lässt.

[Theologe]

Katie Finneran fand ich bei The Inside eigentlich nicht so interessant. Die Serie fand ich für das Genre ganz gut, aber bei Tim Minnear erwarte ich etwas originelleres.

Die Serie befindet sich schon seit der zweiten Folge nicht mehr in der Top 40 Cableprogrammen. Das ist wohl kein gutes Zeichen...

Naja, Tim Minear hat bisher noch nie eine Serie selbst entwickelt.
"Angel" und "Firefly" -> Joss Whedon
"Wonderfalls" -> "Bryan Fuller", TM Showrunner
"The Inside" -> Rachel Nichols sollte ursprünglich eine verdeckte Highschoolermittlerin spielen, aber nachdem das wohl nichts getaugt hat, haben TM zusammen mit Howard Gordon das Konzept der Serie etwas geändert.
"Drive" -> Ben Queen, TM ist Co-Creator und Showrunner

übrigens scheint Kim Possible auf dem Disney channel wirklich alle Rekorde zu brechen und die erste Trick-Serie zu werden die auch eine 5. Staffel bekommen wird.

Die letzte Folge wurde sogar von 5,2 Mio. Zuschauer gesehen :shock:

Last Saturday ran episode Mad Dogs and Aliens (71) on the Disney Channel and the spectator numbers is still high.
Altogether on Saturday spectators the episode looked at themselves 5,24 millions.
Thus Kim Possible has a record set up for the indication trick series with most spectators due to.

Lauren Ambrose is set to star opposite Parker Posey in Fox's comedy pilot "The Return of Jezebel James," while James Van Der Beek has joined ABC's drama pilot "Football Wives."

Additionally, Charles Esten will topline ABC's comedy pilot "American Family," Scott Wolf has landed the lead in ABC's untitled Sachs/Judah project, and Fred Goss, Jerry Minor and Jerry O'Connell have been tapped to star in ABC's comedy pilot "Carpoolers." Ray Stevenson is set for a lead role on CBS' "Babylon Fields," Molly Parker and Josh Hopkins have joined CBS' drama pilot "Swingtown," and Kathryn Hahn, Flex Alexander, Matthew Morrison and Jayma Mays have come aboard ABC's comedy pilot "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office."

  "Jezebel," from Regency TV, centers on a single book editor (Posey) who can't conceive and asks her estranged younger sister (Ambrose) to carry her baby. Ambrose, who co-starred on HBO's "Six Feet Under" as Claire Fisher, is repped by UTA, manager Michael Garnett and attorney Harris Hartman.

  "Wives," from ABC TV Studio, follows the wives of professional football players. Van Der Beek will play a rookie. The former "Dawson's Creek" star (Gersh Agency, Brillstein-Grey) recently did a two-episode arc on CBS' "Criminal Minds."

  "Family," from Sony TV, centers on a pretentious yet clueless middle-class family. Esten (Stone Manners) will play the father. The actor has recurred on NBC's "The Office."
Advertisement


  The untitled Sachs/Judah project, from ABC TV, follows the lives of co-workers at a top law firm. Wolf will play the leader of the Law Dogs litigating team. Also joining the project is Geoffrey Arend as a junior member of the team.

  "Carpoolers," from ABC TV, DreamWorks TV and 3 Arts, follows four men -- three of them played by Goss (CAA, Epiphany Alliance), Minor (APA, Odenkirk) and O'Connell -- who carpool to work every day.

  "Babylon," from 20th TV, is set in a town where the dead come back to life. Stevenson will play the town's chief detective, whose wife is also resurrected.

  "Swingtown," from CBS Par TV, revolves around married couples in 1970s suburbia who experiment with partner-swapping. Parker will play a housewife with teen kids. Hopkins will play an ex-jock.

  "Nice Girls," from 20th TV, is a workplace comedy about making it in the corporate world. Morrison (Gersh) will play a struggling musician. Hahn (Gersh) will play a pregnant go-getter. Alexander (APA, Principato-Young) will play everybody's drinking buddy.

Durch Titus Pullo wird Babylon für mich gleich noch vielversprechender. Swingtown mit Molly Parker klingt auch nicht schlecht, aber ich kann mir nicht vorstellen wie so ein Thema auf CBS funktionieren soll. Gut, Ang Lees Der Eissturm kam auch fast ohne Sexszenen und Foul Language wunderbar aus, aber mit Network Prüderie könnte es lächerlich werden.



und daraus wird hoffentlich auch eine richtige Serie und nicht nur eine Miniserie:

Oscar winner Martin Scorsese has teamed with his "Departed" co-star Mark Wahlberg for a drama series project for HBO about the development of Atlantic City.

The project will be developed in conjunction with the book, "Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City" by Nelson Johnson, which has been optioned by HBO.

Scorsese will executive produce the project with Wahlberg and Leverage Management's Stephen Levinson.

Wahlberg and Levinson already are in business with HBO by executive producing two series, the hit comedy "Entourage" and the upcoming drama "In Treatment." Leverage, which produces both series with HBO, is also behind the Atlantic City series.

According to the book's official description, "Boardwalk" chronicles Atlantic City "from its birth as a quiet seaside health resort, through the notorious backroom politics and power struggles, to the city's rebirth as an entertainment and gambling mecca where anything goes."

Atlantic City is a familiar setting for Scorsese, whose 1986 feature "The Color of Money" took place there.

Scorsese won an Oscar last month for directing the mob saga "The Departed," which was named best picture. The movie earned Wahlberg an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.

Mein Traum wäre ja eine von Scorsese betreute Serie zu Gangs of New York, denn der Film litt stark und den Kürzungen und vor allem wäre das ein würdiger Deadwood Nachfolger.

Allein die Tatsache, dass Josh Hopkins mitspielt spricht nicht für Qualität. Seit Jahren hüpft er als Love-Intrest durch alle Serien und mehr als ein Schönling ist er einfach nicht. Ich glaube nicht, dass er das Zeug für einen Leading-Part hat.

Mir ist er nur als Lilly Rushs Kurzzeitlover Kite in Cold Case in Erinnerung, aber als Hauptdarsteller möchte ich ihn auch nicht sehen. Für eine Nebenrolle als Schnösel sollte es reichen. :lol: Die Bestzung der weiblichen Rollen ist auf jeden Fall mehr als ordentlich. Grant Show hat zwar auch so eine langweilige 08/15 TV-Schönlingsfresse wie Mark Valley, Michael Vartan oder eben Hopkins, aber in Dirt war er als schwuler Actionheld durchaus überzeugend. Die größten Sorgen macht mir da eher Jack Davenport. In einer Comedy wie Coupling noch überzeugend, aber schon in Fluch der Karibik überfordert.

Scheint so als sind jetzt fast alle alten SFU-Darsteller wieder in Serien unterwegs.

He, nichts gegen Mark Valley. Mag sein das er oft typgecastet wird, aber er war IMO brilliant in "Keen Eddie" (*passendesIconrauskram*).
Ansonsten freut es mich natürlich für Ray und Molly, auch wenn ich nicht glaube das ihre Piloten eine große Chance haben...

Ansonsten hat sich jemand bei Zap2It-Board die Mühe gemacht und eine Zusammenfassung der Networkpiloten in Produktion inkl. bisherigem Casting erstellt (ein paar fehlen zwar, insbesondere die wo noch niemand gecastet würde, aber die wichtigsten sind glaube ich drin.):

Ich denke ABC und NBC haben viele recht interessante Sachen dabei. Auch FOX hat ein paar. CBS scheint es zwar durchaus mit etwas anderem als Crime-Dramas versuchen zu wollen, aber die Pilotbeschreibungen hören sich IMO großtenteils nicht so gut an. Im schlechtesten sind IMO die CW-Piloten. Von dem Sender sollte man doch mehr originelles erwarten können, bei der augenblicklichen Lage. Das einzige was noch in diese Kategorie fällt ist "Paige Armstrong", aber ich bezweifle dass das eine Chancen hat (nach dem Flop von "Jack & Bobby" damals)...
