Supergirl Renewed, Will Be Flying Over to The CW for Season 2

May 13, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

Fans of CBS’ excellent new series Supergirl were a bit concerned in recent weeks as talks of renewing the show went on. And questions arose even beyond whether it would return: Would it change networks? Would its budget be substantially cut? At least some of those questions were answered yesterday when it was widely reported that Supergirl will indeed return. And yes, it will be changing networks, moving to the The CW. It is also moving its production from Los Angeles to Vancouver, likely to save costs. And that was one thing about Supergirl that made it so appealing, aside from its excellent cast (particularly the lead, […]

Latest Cancellations: Telenovela- NBC Ay, Dios Mio!! This Eva Longoria-starrer was hilarious and should have pulled a much larger audience. But there are so many TV offerings, that I guess that […]

Not so fast: Rush Hour TV series isn’t up to speed

March 31, 2016 Ryan Berenz

A TV series adapted from a popular film franchise has the benefit of brand recognition and a built-in audience. On the other hand, the TV project is saddled with its own set of expectations and inevitable comparisons to the films. In the case of Rush Hour on CBS, the movies leave their TV adaptation in the dust. Chris Tucker played wisecracking maverick detective Carter and Jackie Chan played straitlaced Hong Kong detective and martial arts expert Lee in three Rush Hour movies. Now CBS is reimagining the interracial buddy-cop action/comedy franchise in a new hourlong series starring relative newcomers Justin […]
