'FIVE for FIVE?!'.....CBS just picked up these FIVE shows....
#1
......The Defenders, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, $#*! My Dad Says and Mike & Molly.......for better or worse....


Five-0! CBS gives full seasons to 'Hawaii,' 'Molly,' 'Blue,' 'Defenders,' '$#*!'

....CBS is going five-for-five: The network is giving full season orders to all of its freshman shows: The Defenders, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, $#*! My Dad Says and Mike & Molly.

What's more, each of the pickups is earned: All of the shows have performed competitively in their time periods, with Hawaii, Molly and $#*! averaging above a 3.0 in the adults 18-49 rating.

The pickup reflects a strong performance by CBS this fall, which has had the broadcaster in first place for the first month of the season.
"It's personally thrilling and extremely satisfying," CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler told The Hollywood Reporter. "I like kept walking around the halls going, 'I want 5 for 5.'"

Tassler credits the network's strong development this year, promotion and smart scheduling moves.

The pickups do give the network a luxury problem, however -- fitting the network's midseason shows into the schedule. Tassler wouldn't rule out reducing the episode orders for some. CBS isn't announcing how many episodes of each show was ordered, sources say $#*! may only be for six episodes instead of the customary nine, plus three scripts. Hawaii received back nine plus two scripts.

"We're looking at all possible ideas," Tassler said. "It's not just about filling slots but launching a successful midseason schedule."
For midseason, the network has comedy Mad Love, Paula Abdul's reality show Live to Dance and the dramas Chaos and the Criminal Minds spinoff......



WATCH and learn....???

My 2 cents on the TV landscape:

Indifferent:
Not interested in The Defenders or Blue Bloods but good for Tom Selleck. Like him since his days of Magnum PI and Quigly Down Under was a better movie than it got credit for.
The Office. It kind of went down for me after Pam and Jim got married. Lost momentum and now that I know Steve Carell is leaving not sure what to do. Season 6 are all still on my dvr waiting to be watched.

The bad:
Shit my Dad says is for reh-tards. One of the worst shows I have ever seen.
Mike and Molly is for the fat and unfunny demographic.
Detroit 187 on some other network is an absolute snoozefest. Fell asleep twice in the first episode, wished I was the one who was shot at the end of it.

Good:
Hawaii Five-O is not brilliant but fun when you need something to park your brain in neutral. Speaking of Park, Grace Park is so hot I just like to watch this one with the sound off.

My God, they can do no wrong:
Anthing on FX.
Always Sunny makes me laugh so hard every week.
The league is great also. Tons of laughs, awkward moments that remind me of my friends and the loving vitriol that we spew at each other daily.
Terriers. Love Donal Logue. Highly underrated actor. The perfect everyman. Interesting premise, good writing. Executive produced by shawn ryan of the shield fame.
Sons of Anarchy. Great acting and some really great episodes but the baby abduction thing has me asking "why?" this season. Based on past work I will keep watching it.

Anything on HBO
Boardwalk Empire. Building slowly but will give it more time since it is HBO.
Bored to Death. Ted Danson is brilliant.
Eastbound and Down. "I thought all this time you were the whore with a heart of gold; instead you're just a whore with a regulars whore heart." - Kenny F'n Powers. Danny McBride is an amazing redneck.

Fringe. Really great stuff. Best X-files revamp in years. I don't miss an episode.

Animation Domination.
SIMPSONS, Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show. Fox toons still rule.
Venture Brothers. Johhny Quest on crack, ecstasy and Shrooms. Best 15 min on sunday night.
Metalocalypse. Spinal Tap for the metalhead Metallica generation. Voice talent include Kirk Hammit and Mark Hammill. Dethklock is actually a good metal band with 2 good albums. brendon small is a brilliant musician and his other animated series Home movies was hilarious.

They are only 15 min shows if you get rid of the commercials

Poor William Shatner; stuck in that POS sitcom & making all of that money. I hope he invests wisely.
