I don't think they're that bad. I'm guessing this isn't a huge role, so it might be best it's not wasted on someone like Chastain or Blunt.

Given the prominence of the people they're attempting to cast in the role, I would say it's probably a pretty substantive one.

*sigh* I was all set to respond to you seriously, but then you gotta do something like that. Why, man? Why? Too radical, Roland.

Aw, boo, Roland, BOOOO!!!

Though to be fair, it's not that big of a spoiler; it sounds like more of one that it really is.

I think if it was a really big role they would have locked in someone before this.

I'm sure you're right, but until now this thread has been really good at avoiding that stuff.

Parks & Recreation, Community, and 30 Rock picked up for shortened final seasons.

NBC has picked up a half dozen new shows for next season and multiple reports say the network will give final shortened seasons to its veteran sitcoms "30 Rock," "Community" and "Parks and Recreation."


...

NBC did confirm Tuesday that it has picked up a number of new sitcoms, including Matthew Perry's "Go On," Anne Heche's "Save Me," Ryan Murphy's "The New Normal," Bill Pullman's "1600 Penn" and Justin Kirk's "Animal Practice."

It has also picked up the new J.J. Abrams post-apocalypse drama "Revolution" and "Hannibal."

I like that it seems to be something intended just for the hardcore fans.

Parks & Recreation, Community, and 30 Rock picked up for shortened final seasons.

NBC is really going to Britta it. 30 Rock is understandable, I think it should end. I think Parks and Rec and Community still have some gas in the tanks though. But whatever, let's look at the shows the did pick up:

Co-written by Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler and directed by Murphy, “The New Normal” is described as a heartwarming comedy about a blended family of a gay couple — Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) — and a cash-strapped waitress and mother of one Goldie (Georgia King) who becomes a surrogate to help them have a child. Co-starring is Ellen Barkin as Goldie’s glamorous/bigoted grandmother.

This sounds so effing bad.

Written by Eric Kripke, directed by Jon Favreau and produced by JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot and Warner Bros TV, “Revolution” is described as a high-octane action drama following a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist. Billy Burke plays the lead, with Giancarlo Esposito, Tracy Spiradakos, Graham Rogers, and Anna Lise co-starring.

Could be cold. Though the "all forms of energy" just silly. Unless no one ever moves on the show. I'd watch that.

The single-camera comedy ["Save Me"], written/executive produced by John Scott Shepherd, stars Anne Heche as a woman who lets herself – and her marriage – go until she undergoes an “awakening” that transforms her spiritually and physically into a desirable and outspoken woman who just might be channeling god.

Oof. I was half expecting this to be about her becoming then lesbian then not one.

Matthew Perry stars in and co-executive produces “Go On,” a single-camera project written by Scott Silveri and directed by Todd Holland. Produced by Universal TV, it centers on an irreverent yet charming sportscaster (Perry) who, trying to move on from a loss, finds surprising solace from the members of his mandatory support group.

Maybe. I don't like Perry though.

NBC has pulled the trigger on a 13-episode order to “Hannibal,” a straight-to-series project from Gaumont International Television, written and executive produced by Bryan Fuller and executive produced by Martha DeLaurentiis. The project is described as a contemporary thriller series featuring the classic characters from Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon – FBI agent Will Graham and his mentor Dr. Hannibal Lecter – who are re-introduced at the beginning of their budding relationship.

I want it to be like Dexter meets The Odd Couple.

“Animal Practice,” from writers Brian Gatewood and Alex Tanaka, Universal TV, and American Work, centers on a “House”-like veterinarian (Justin Kirk), who loves animals but usually hates their owners (especially the new woman who runs the clinic). Tyler Labine, Bobby Lee and Amy Huberman co-star.

*sigh*

“1600 Penn,” from 20th TV, is a family comedy set in the White House. Josh Gad co-created the show with Jon Lovett and is starring. Bill Pullman, Jenna Elfman and Martha MacIsaac co-star.

All the stars from the 90's you never wanted back are back!

I'm sure you're right, but until now this thread has been really good at avoiding that stuff.

But you could kind of see it in the the trailer.

And I am contractually obligated to be radical.

Still haven't seen Avengers, bleh. I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but accidents happen. (Fortunately not here.... yet) *shakes fists*

Noooooooooooooooooooo! These are literally like, the only shows I watch. I go cry long time now.

Oh my goodness...I hadn't read the descriptions until now...just wow. They all sound ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS, except for Revolution, though the "all forms of energy" bit makes me cringe. The rest though...laughably bad.

I suspect Revolution will be the sort of thing that has people on the edge of their seats for four episodes, before people realise that it's not actually going anywhere and dump it.
