Check out the official campaign to bring back V, specifically aimed at getting TNT to pick it up.

We need to get V back ! lol

I would love to see V picked up by another network but from past experiences fans campaign's rarely make a difference.

No we don't. It was a poor copy of the original.

Failed on so many levels.

I noticed Saffron Burrows character got booted from "The Finder"

Cor blimy guv'nr

The Listener has been renewed for a third season today

The problem with creatively failed network series like V and The Event getting reprieves on cable channels like SyFy and TNT is that it diverts original-production cash from new series that may be creative successes.

Of course, one person's failure is another's success but when a series is widely viewed as creatively and commercially disappointing (as both these two are) I just don't see the point in perpetuating them. I'd rather see the money spent on new series that may turn out to be spectacular.

If I missed it while skimming through the thread I am sorry, but has The Mentalist been renewed for a 4th season?

Yes, The mentalist got a fourth season.

I'd prefer they went with V: The Next Generation - aka Kenneth Johnsons follow up.

The reboot was not a patch on the original Mini-series.

I would agree with that.

Yeah, I'm struggling with the second season - have a bunch Sky+'d but can't be bothered to watch them.
Too much talking about human emotion and the soul etc. Like the V's (a term I've never liked either) were robots. How did they evolve without emotions? without hunger they'd have starved, without fear they'd have been predated into extingtion, without some kind of urge to reproduce they'd have died out. it's nonsense.

That's good news, thanks Paul

I believe that Kenny Johnson is working towards a movie version of the original series and then following it up with The Second Generation.

Blue Blood has been renewed for a 2nd series
Any other fans out there????
Love the stories and Will Estes ( YUM )
Plus all the scenic shots of NYC ( my fav city)

Yes, Blue Bloods has been renewed but the creative people behind it have not. Apparently the network want to alter the style of the show and the creators disagreed. So I have some concerns about series 2 if the plan is to turn it into just another procedural.

Why the hell are they messing with something that was clearly working. it`ll no doubt get axed after season 2 then.

Interesting, I didn’t know this. So what are the network changing about the show? Are they scrapping the ‘family’ element and focusing more on the crime?

Exactly that.

The family element was a bit Waltons like with the big family dinner and all that. But it did make the show a bit different from other cop shows. Without the family element it could be very run of the mill.

I agree. Happy to see V canned. Feel like I should watch it but I know it's no good.

I agree. I wasn't sure about the series at first,but once I knew who was who,the family thing was a big plus and fused well with the poloce/crime stories. Especially like Donnie Wahlberg as Danny,Jennifer Espisito as his partner,Jackie,Nick Turturro as the Sarge,and Len ? as the grandpop. Definitely a mistake to change the format! Don't do it!

I didn't like the whole family scenes at the table because I found the three kids (especially the girl) totally annoying and utterly pointless. I did however like the family aspect that would often take place in the kitchen between just two or three characters (usually Selleck and one of his kids).

That said, I heard they bumped Amy Carlson from guest to regular for Season 2. If this is true, wouldn't that lend to more family stuff, since she is not in law enforcement?

Her role this season, outside of the odd episode where she was pivotal, seemed to be nothing more than cooking the chicken and telling the two brats to behave. By giving her a more prominent role would suggest more family/personal stuff rather than less.

My only gripe with the show is the lack of realism that most cases manage to involve the whole family. If anything, it's surely less likely that the other family members would get involved once one family member has the initial lead on a case.

It is quite refreshing to have a happy family in a cop show. How many divorced, alcholic, burnt out cops can there be?
The blue templar thing was a bit silly and didn't really fit in with the rest of the show. Although that seems to have been on the back burner recently. I hope they find a way to resolve that storyline quickly.
This show could hardly get any more procedural. There is a crime a week. They interview a bunch of suspects, one confresses and they all live happily ever after. simples.

Yes, the biggest improvement they could do is get rid of those two brattish kids and the very strange teenage daughter (who must be one of the most annoying child characters on TV) - or at least relegate them to non-speaking parts.

Otherwise the rest of the family stuff isn't that bad and makes the show different to the usual procedural. It just stretches credibility a little when in a city of thousands of police and lawyers they all get involved in the same case each week.

Really?

I really enjoyed the first season but thought the second season was a load of rubbish and thought it would be cancelled.
