That's good to know about Star Trek. It could likely be that they're going to make a proper go of the renegades fan series currently doing the rounds.

They've managed to assemble quite a 'hall of fame' of Star Trek characters for the Renegade stuff, so maybe they'll be on board if it does get picked up by a network?

More news revealed.

It has been given a straight to series order by CBS and is set for Jan 2017 premiere. However, apart from the pilot, the show will not air on television but online. It will air on CBS's on demand service, CBS Access.

Fingers crossed it isn't entirely serialized and still retains standalone episodes.

Star Trek is going to be on CBS All Access rather than CBS or The CW. I would have assumed that with Supergirl doing good, they'd air it on CBS itself.

I suppose they want to try and see how a show does online.

There is a rumour going around that Nashville has been given a fifth season. I can't see how. It's far too early and the show is one of ABC's lowest rated shows. Although if it does, I can't complain as it is one of my fav shows on television.
I would also be surprised but as equally pleased!

Superstore and Hot and Bothered have both been confirmed to premiere next January on NBC. Hot and Bothered is now called Telenova, which was it's original title anyway.

NBC have had disasters with comedies lately. These look good though.

With the success of the films, it was inevitable that CBS would want to do another Trek series. I wonder if viewers are going to willing to pay $6.99 a month just for new Star Trek along with catch up for current CBS shows.

Are you serious, it will hit, be massive, get lots of complaints from the old guard.

AND

With a bit of luck move the franchise in a new direction.

Rehashing the old is only good for so long.

CBS continues to focus on strong women.

On the heels of launching Supergirl, the network is teaming with Gulfstream Television for a royal spy drama called Mi-Zero.

The drama centers on a young American woman who marries the Prince of England and discovers that she’s now part of a long-standing secret society of princesses who use their access to the seats of power to be the best secret agents on the planet.


The drama hails from writers Austin Winsberg (Gossip Girl) and Alex Litvak (The Three Musketeers), who will executive produce the Warner Bros. Television entry alongside Gulfstream's Mike Karz and Bill Bindley. Gulfstream Television's Juliana Janes developed the project with the writers and will oversee for the company.

Very interesting article, especially saying the 'UK model' might be adopted by the US.

The next question is when are large tv companies going to realise they now have global audiences to cater for.

I see TVBTM has decided to make their site into an absolute mess. They don't even put dates on the front page so you know which week you are looking for. Absolutely awful. Anybody know of any other site that gives the ratings in the same format (as in sorted into time slot)?

As long as a 13 episode drama is followed by another one. I'm not a fan of our model of less drama and more factual/benefit shows to fill the gap.

On a related note - what would people say to the argument that the streaming services are proving a much better model for developing high quality tv? Their success rate appears to be much better, though of course we don't see viewing figures.

I am completely bias though as I no longer watch broadcast tv apart from live events.
