@Concerned Citizen
Hope it’s the Karyn Usher one, I have no interest in seeing Cuba Gooding Jr. as a crappy lawyer.
Definitely interested in seeing what Mastermind and The Mob Doctor have to offer. Also I thought I read they picked up Rogue w/ Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck). If so, interested in that one too.
Thankfully, they went back to “Mastermind.” Although, we could have had cool promos like “An all new Bones following The Following!”
Wonder where they’re getting that information from. I got The Following from TVLine, and they’re still saying it’s that…
Ben & Kate……um Mike & Molly..?
Hollywood Reporter is saying it’s The Following as well.
oh…fox renew touch already
Touch is renewed (hope, you have impecible timing) according to Deadline.
@hope,

Televisionary, says they have
I really hope they pick up the Zachary Levi comedy, ‘Let It Go’!

Ask and you shall receive!

Fox might pickup one more comedy, but there’s no chance it’ll be Let It Go.
FWIW “Mastermind” is the name of a popular quiz show by the BBC. Warner would have to change the name in the UK and probably all of Europe if they stuck with “Mastermind” as the name. That doesn’t add much cost but in our Internet age global buzz for a media brand is important.
The Mob Doctor? Nah, I’ll take season THREE of The Chicago Code instead…
Mastermind sounds like it can shake things up a bit. Not my cup of tea, but Fox desperately needs a hit.
Sounds like Alcatraz is now out of the running completely… while it also doesn’t look good for The Finder.
I wonder if Alcatraz will be a Netflix candidate? After all, they WERE “talking” to Fox about Terra Nova for awhile, weren’t they? Seems like a logical choice for Netflix — an Abrams sci-fi show with a loyal fanbase.
Mastermind sounds worth a look, if nothing else. “Mob Doctor” – seriously? Pass…
Let It GO??
We need Zach Levi back
@Mark
Ben & Kate……um Mike & Molly..?
Will and Grace
Ned and Stacey
Laverne and Shirley
Mork and Mindy
I think it’s safe to say that nobody gets confused by dual-name titles.
Did Bill Lawrence have a pilot over at Fox? I could of sworn he did.
