CBS Fall 2012: Vegas
 

Hadn't heard of this one, either. Dennis Quaid versus Michael Chiklis in 1960's Las Vegas, with Carrie-Anne Moss along for the ride? I think I'd give that a shot. Looks more interesting to me than Elementary, as much as I like Lucy Liu.

It's hard not to get a "Justified" feeling after watching that. I consider that a good thing.

Interesting. I like the setup. Looks like a poor mans Justified crossed with Mad Men.

CBS...pass

BTW, Barbara Cassel ( Matt Cassel's Mom) is a set decorator for the show

Anyone else been watching? I've really been loving it. It's really picking up towards the end of the season too.

Haven't missed a week yet.

Really has turned into a great show. D'you know if a second season has been planned?

No word yet, but the ratings haven't been very good. I wouldn't be surprised if this season is all we get.

Been loving every minute of it. Great show!!! all the more reason to cancel it.

Yeah, hopefully it doesn't get cancelled.

That's the unfortunate reality of network television. Great shows don't always attract viewers. And no viewers means no advertisers means no show.

.

I love the show. Hope it gets the second season. At the local Clark County library, they've had a special event once a week this month, Mob Month. Ralph Lamb, is going to be there this Tuesday, to talk about how it was and being a consultant on the show, I expect it to be rather interesting. Too bad I work :-(

That sounds so awesome

It seems to be the opposite anymore - a sad consequence of most of the people in the country being ****ing idiots. :shake:

I guess we need more shows about inbred morons chasing swamp creatures.

You nailed that :thumb:

heheh, those are mainly cable shows. The problem Keg is talking about is with Network shows.

Reality TV is making Americans stupid. Nobody appreciates a good story anymore. They just want to see idiots act like idiots so they feel like less of an idiot.

My wife and I love the show as well. Which like you have said means it will be cancelled. I like how they have developed the characters and the interactinon with the Sheriff and Salvino is great.

Yep. This is it in a nutshell.

There's also the gossip factor. People seem to like seeing bad shit happen to other people on "reality" shows because it's supposed to somehow make us feel better about our own pathetic lives. Culture has taken a turn from building up heroes to tearing down villains.

The irony is that people aren't even bright enough to realize that all the reality shows are heavily produced, and if not exactly scripted, everything is planned-out and executed the way the production staff wants.

Even the "uplifting" reality shows are badly manipulative. See example: Undercover Boss

I refuse to believe anything on that show is real.

Yeah, sadly.

Holy shit, he's going to lie to her about it. Dumb bastard.

Feels like a misstep in the writing. We'll see how it plays out.

Not only to her but to his brother as well. What a stupid ****.

That jones segment was funny as hell,gets away from Lamb only to be picked up by Savino in the middle of nowhere LMAO

Good last couple episodes. Apparently there's a few episodes to go before the end of the season, but I can't find any info anywhere. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled.

It's still up in the air right now but it isn't looking good. This is a great show. It is too bad that people just don't seem to want to watch it.

For whatever reason, CBS just can't seem to find a show that can pull in an audience in the 9pm slot. Last years show Unforgettable was a really good one too but got killed for the same reason.

I hope not. I'll miss looking at Sarah Jones.

Holy crap!!! I didn't even realize that was her.

And apparently we now have to wait a whole month for episode 16.

I hate it when shows go on a long hiatus like that.

Yeah. I also hate mid-season intermissions. The walking dead was away for like 2 months. And Suits was also away for a long time, then returned for 5 episodes and now is gone until july again.

Networks don't seem to get that people will lose interest when they do that.

Exactly. It's just bloody annoying.

:spock:

As I recall The Walking Dead had a record number of viewers on its most recent comeback.

For a show like The walking dead, it just builds anticipation.

Vegas has been delayed again after CBS's New Drama "Golden Boy", remains in the Tuesday slot. "Vegas" Moves to Friday, 9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT, Effective April 5.

CBS will give the freshman drama Vegas a look in a new time period, moving it to Friday (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) beginning April 5, following the Network's coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament.

****

Yep. Dumping something in a Friday spot is generally the kiss of death.

4321 CBS

As previously stated, Episode 16 (Little Fish) will be aired April 5th.

Now Episode 17 (Hollywood Ending) has also been announced to be aired a week later, April 12th. http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/vega...EP015686250017


Hopefully this means the show won't be delayed AGAIN, at least for now.

Still no word on the inevitable cancellation though.

Yeah hopefully it's only good news from here on out.

Give it time. It has to bomb on friday first. That's how the old fox strategy works.

Damn it

Seems like an old people show.

Can't view that from work. Was it cancelled?

No but viewership has gone down. Looks like the month-and-a-half long break made some people lose interest.

Message to CBS. Well DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dipshits.

Exactly. I know it's gonna happen, but I'm still gonna be pissed when Vegas get's cancelled.

But lets bring on another NCIS spinoff in its place. JFC I like NCIS but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. LA is OK but I would rather them cancel LA and keep Vegas. Or, don't start up this stupid looking NCIS Red at all.

This.

Looks like they intend to end the series with a bang at least.

this is why I don't watch CBS drama shows. Blue haired network.

Yeah, I'm sure the blue hairs really enjoy Big Bang, 2 broke girls and 2.5 men

Yeah, it definitely looks like they are building upto the end of the show. Hopefully it goes out in style though.

LMAO

Got buried with work in April, finally got caught up today on all the eps since it moved to Fridays. Aside from the bad episode the week before last (culminating with the ridiculous wedding through the jailhouse door...) they've had a good season. Be sad to see it go (I think it's all but cancelled now, though still nothing official).

In unrelated news, other than being another CBS freshman drama mentioned in my original thread starter, I'm surprised how much I've liked Elementary.

Elementary and Person of Interest getting web based expansion of back/side story.

http://variety.com/2013/digital/news...tv-1200429812/

I agree, Elementary has really grown on me, I'm really liking it. But if I had to choose, it'd still be Vegas.

It looks like they're really preparing for the grand finale now. Not looking forward to the show being over, but definitely looking forward to a great final episode.

Cancelled.


Series finale was kind of a let down but I guess it really was the only way it could end properly.

Damn, finally cancelled. Decent final episode. I will always look back on this show as one if my favorites. Looking forward to see if this group of actors try something new, though.

welp, guess I won't bother watching the last 5 eps...

I'm really sad and disappointed Southland got axed.

If you like the show, I'd watch the last 5 if I was you.

They don't leave you hanging. They tie things up nicely.

eh, I liked it okay, but we're so far behind, I've got over 120hrs of tv on Tivo to catch up as it is.
