CBS Cancels ‘Doubt,’ the First Primetime Network Drama with a Transgender Series Regular

It took two years and two tries for “Doubt” to make the CBS lineup – but now the show has been canceled after just two weeks. The Eye network has pulled the plug on the show effective immediately; next week, CBS will air a repeat of “Bull” in the show’s Wednesday 10 p.m. (ET) time slot. The second season of “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” will then slide into the spot permanently on Wednesday, March 8, following a two-hour “Survivor” premiere.

I read something that made me laugh the other day. They parodied Riverdale in a dirty movie called Beaverdale recently. Why are libs so obsessed with archie comics, tv shows and movies right now? It’s so weird.

I have never thought Katherine Heigl was a real Hollywood beauty. When she came on "Grey's Anatomy," she was an attractive, kind'a sexy babe but no great actress. She continued as such in her run as Queen-for-the-time-being of the Romantic Comedy flicks in which she starred.

All when to hell with her acquiring a "pain in the ass to work with" reputation. Now--

I watch the premier episode and it struck me... that Katie has not aged well at all. Not at all!

Jesus, Bendy-- It is all... Donald Trump's fault!

Well... case close.

Things that disgust a large part of the viewers ain't gonna be hits.

There's a new product that managed to disgust me with their sick commercials about spanking your lunch and calling it "food you want to fork". I'm betting they will either go belly up or be changing their advertising polys before long.

They need to bring back reruns of My Mother The Car, still better than this.

Meanwhile on TNT, a queer worries over marriage or law school

I’m sure several shows started up within the last two years will be gone quickly because they were just subliminal campaign ads anyway. Expect some to return in early 2018 for the mid-terms...

and i actually liked Laverne Cox in Orange is the New Black.

I thought OITNB treated the issue of transgenderism pretty fairly, particularly Sophia Burset's transition and the devastation this caused to his family. I recall watching Sophia's "backstory" episode and thinking as a husband and father myself, "Why are you being so selfish? Why are you doing this to your wife and son?"

I was surprised that Hollywood actually articulated the selfishness and damage that transitioning does to one's family. I was even more surprised to discover this very dramatic and effective episode was directed by Jody Foster.

Interesting bit of trivia; the scenes of pre-transitioning Sophia are played by Cox's twin brother.

Ack! and = any

When they finally cancel “Madame Secretary”, that will be news.

[Albion Wilde]

Bi-bi!

I see what you did there!

I might have checked this show out if not for the laughable Ru Paul-looking "highly respected" tranny character. I guess it's back to Cat Food (and litter) commercials for Katherine Heigl.

Grey's Anatomy is still on the air right? She should have never pulled a David Caruso.

Star Katherine Heigl in her last gig.

I won't post a pic of the tranny. Picture an NBA point guard in a wig and pantsuit.

[GOPsterinMA]

I hate Heigel, I find her extremely unlikeable. Looks like a typical lounge lizard.

Scooping up cat s**t fits her well.

Add her to my Jude Law/Michael Fassbender list.

The tranny: Tig approved.

I’m not a fan of Heigl, either. She’s arrogant and obnoxious. She was cute for about 5 minutes way back when she starred with Gerard Depardieu in “My Father, The Hero”, but all downhill since.

I had to laugh they cancelled this show after 2 episodes. I went to look at the cast list, and they did have cutie-pie Dreama Walker in it (I enjoyed her with Krysten Ritter in “Don’t Trust the B—”), probably the only positive.

[Impy]

If she and Segal got back together for Under Siege 3, I would watch it.

Hey I got it!..........

” The Hermaphrodite & The Tranny “

That sums it up.
