NBC has shut down production on Sean Saves the World several weeks before the show would have completed its freshman season, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

[SMGFan]

Never watched it, look at what it aired opposite. :) But those NBC Thursday comedies ad was awful.

It’s time for a “ Supertrain” revival.

There’s just nothing worth watching on NBC, period. This is the whole reason why the History Channel is pulling in big numbers.

[Libloather]

Will they do the same with Hussein?

[T-Bird45]

Do you mean to tell us that acceptance of faggotry as the be-all/end-all does not lead to commercial success in the marketplace??? NO!!!!! I just can’t believe it!!!

[SMGFan]

well, “the Blacklist” is a good show. Monday 10pm.

[Bullish]

Awww Geee.... I can’t believe I missed the whole thing. Dang!

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

I’m just waiting for “Vikings” . . . . ;o)

[skinkinthegrass]

no surprise here, the syfy channel is cr@p
..probably the next gay NBC channel.
(abberant lifestyle channel)

Blacklist has one single actor. The rest of them on the show are marginal actors. Even the cast of Duck Dynasty are better actors than most on Blacklist.

I admit...the script is five-star....but I kinda wonder who the heck does the hiring for the cast.

Blacklist is fascinating, and Bader reminds me of Donofrio with his weird head cocking and tongue / mouth movements.

We love Blacklist and the occasional Following

I like Sleepy Hpllow only for the occasional, token references to the disparity between colonial think and modern think, otherwise it's beginning to resemble National Treasure

All in all, some of the writing for these drama's is wonderful ... imo

[Enterprise]

"Sean Saves the World debuted to 4.9 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic back in October. Its most recent outing paled in comparison, only drawing 2.6 million and 0.7."

Maybe the ultimate reaction of the 18-49 demographic was something like "ick."

Yep CBS all the way to 9:30. I do watch Big Bang Theory, The Millers, and The Crazy Ones, but I never could get into Two and a Half Men. Then at 10 o’clock it is Scandal.

[SMGFan]

The crazy ones? What do you think of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s performance... and wasn’t the Golden Globe category she won created this year for her to win? ( I can ask this :) )

[LS]

My wife likes this, but I didn’t. There is absolutely nothing on network to compare with cable shows like “Justified” and “True Detective.”

[napscoordinator]

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s performance.

Well at first I didn’t think she was that good but as the show progresses I think she has improved. It was the People’s Choice and I definitely think they wanted to give her an award (probably for past work). I just hope the show is renewed. It does ok and would be a hit on NBC, but CBS has such a high threshold that mediocre ratings are in danger.

[FAA]

Seems I was reading just yesterday that this show was among the forefront of new gay-friendly TV that was going to storm the ratings and bring NBC, among others, back.

Well. Bye.

[napscoordinator]

lol. NBC is so done. They are so desperate that they want to put Jay Leno at 10 o’clock every night AGAIN. They did that years ago and blew up in their face. It also destroyed the 10 o’clock shows and when they finally got rid of Leno at 10, the shows never could recover. I can’t stand Leno for that reason alone.

Drop the terrible comedies and see if you can come up with another “Black List”. Can James Spader do two shows at once?
