Heroes and Flash Forward Canceled; Chuck, V Renewed
May 14th, 2010
It’s that time again. The networks are canceling shows left and right while at the same time announcing new shows for the 2010-2011 season. The word going around at the moment is that NBC has canceled Heroes after four seasons but might air some sort of wrap-up for the once-popular show. Deadline.com reports that the network will announce what form the wrap-up will take after its upfront presentation this Monday, but it could be “a 2-hour or 4-hour special event in midseason.” The Live Feed has a similar story, but suggests that “tabling that verdict until after upfronts” can’t be “the best sign.”
Other rumors include ABC canceling Flash Forward after its first season but renewing V for a second year. Also, NBC has officially renewed Chuck for a fourth season. The CW previously announced that it was renewing Supernatural and The Vampire Dairies as well as Smallville. FOX announced earlier that Fringe would be returning for a third season.
CBS has yet to decide whether to renew Medium or Ghost Whisperer.
V 1×04 – “It’s Only The Beginning”
November 26th, 2009
“It’s Only The Beginning” is an odd title because this episode is actually the end of the 2009 run of the V reboot. And, in it, we get to see the human resistance’s first strike against the Visitors. But, by the end of the episode, things really don’t look quite as bright. It’s a solid episode, but this hiatus might not be ABC’s brightest idea. Hopefully, when the show returns in March 2010, the audience will be there waiting.
V – 1×1 – “Pilot”
November 4th, 2009
In the interests of time, I’m going to go ahead and assume that most of the readers here at Lower Decks know enough about the history of V to get by in a conversation. That eliminates the need for me to get into all of the details of the original series. Which is a good thing, it seems, because that’s pretty much what the writers did in this updated version of the classic sci-fi story.
