The TV thread

Superstore was renewed, but America Ferrera is leaving the show. I'm guessing NBC would probably end the show, but it's their number 1 comedy and outside of Brooklyn 99, the only returning comedy in the fall.
Also - Hawaii Five-O is ending.

 

When will we stop terrorizing Elisabeth Moss?

Honestly, kidnapped in the West Wing, jilted by Pete in Mad Men (let alone the sexism), she was sexually assaulted in top of the lake, Handmaid's Tale needs no explanation and now Invisible Man.

 

Interesting news on Ferrera. I know she's probably considered the lead, but I always found her character to be the least interesting. Hopefully it continues on strong without her. My wife & I love this show. Consistently funny.

 

I've been a big fan of H50 -- I haven't missed an episode since it started in 2010 -- but I have to admit it's probably run its course. It'll be interesting to see how they wrap things up. I would love to see Chin and Kono make cameos in the series finale, but considering how Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim left the show, that's probably not happening.

 

I knew Hawaii 5-0 was reaching the end when they started sending McGarrett off to Thailand, Africa, South America. "Hey, we need you in Bangkok." "OK, wheels up in 15." He grabs a bag and is gone. Like he was the only American agent who could do that? And Dan-O wasn't in it half the time. It was still an enjoyable show for me.

 

The show is more enjoyable when Danno is gone. The character is so annoying and Scott Caan is a terrible actor.

 

Agree with that. His big recent episode, when he met the woman in the bar then she died in a car crash, it was painful to watch his performance.

 

I’m glad H50 is ending. I like it. But I get frustrated with how stupid the writers are. And my wife gets pissed at how the women are always in skimpy tank tops while the men are wearing collared shirts.

 

Really, everytime I watch the show I'm thankfully reminded I never saw Jack Lord without a shirt as often as McGarrett is.

 

I mean... she played a mob boss in The Kitchen. I guess this was her revenge?

 

And those pesky scientologists.

 

The Outsider might be the best King adaption in a long time. I have not read the book, but the HBO series is pretty strong.
