Hastily crafted assertions of angered TV fans
[U][i][b][url=http://watch-the-other-woman-online-hd.tumblr.com/]Watch The Other Woman Online[/url][/b][/i][/U] The answer to this non-dilemma is the same as it is in any other line of industry. Popularity comes from having a large, interested audience consisting of people who have somehow convinced themselves that binging on a series when it hits Netflix is equal in any way to viewing it firsthand. Anyone who has ever been disappointed by the words “Sold Out” can understand that sometimes, the whole point of getting what you want is being there from the ground up. Nobody should properly be allowed to just “get around to watching” Terriers in 2013 and subsequently rail on FX for canceling it because no one watched it in 2010. Not every show can be held aloft for five seasons by fan love like Community, but it doesn’t have to be the only outlying exception.

The series is part comedy, part drama, with a tone that’s unique unto itself. Twelve-year-old narrator CHARLIE (Griffin Gluck, “Back in the Game,” “Private Practice”) is in a coma in the hospital. Charlie’s friends and fellow patients include JORDI PALACIOS (Nolan Sotillo, “Prom”), a 16-year-old who illegally crosses the Mexican border into California to seek out treatment at the renowned hospital. What he soon discovers is that it’s not his illness that’s going to change his life, but his new friends. Also at the hospital is LEO ROTH (Charlie Rowe, “Neverland,” “Pirate Radio”). At 16, Leo is charismatic and independent. But after living at the hospital for a year, he’s starting to lose his way. When he’s forced to room with Jordi, he’s angry and resentful, until he realizes they are more alike than he could imagine.

Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Margaret Nagle, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank and Sergio Aguero, the pilot for Red Band Society was written by Margaret Nagle. Here's a look at part of the series synopsis from Fox: What if a hospital was your high school, boarding school and summer camp rolled into one? What if it was the place where you fell in love for the first time and made friendships that lasted a lifetime? And what if it was all weirdly hilarious and the most fun you ever had in your entire life? This is the world of RED BAND SOCIETY. From Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, starring Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spencer (“The Help,” “Fruitvale Station”) and based on the award-winning Spanish series, “Polseres Vermelles,” RED BAND SOCIETY is a provocative, unconventional and, at times, comic high school drama told through the eyes of a group of teenagers.

Where exactly he’ll go from here is anyone’s guess, but it wouldn’t be a shock to see him back on a different network with an altered format at some point. He’s too talented to simply drift away or even to spend his entire year on the road playing stand-up comedy venues in medium-sized cities across the country.
[U][i][b][url=http://watch-heaven-is-for-real-online.tumblr.com/]Watch Heaven is for Real Online[/url][/b][/i][/U] It’s a tough world for ratings right now. An increasing number of at-home viewers prefer to tape TV programs, or watch shows via different outlets like Netflix or HULU. Late night programs are the type of thing that viewers will be more likely to catch live, but the late night market is pretty saturated already. Kimmel, Letterman, Fallon, Ferguson and Daly have the prime spots on network television, but Stewart, Oliver, Cohen and Hardwick have all managed niche audiences on other television stations. It’s a tough market to develop a niche in, and The Pete Holmes Show happened to be losing roughly 350,000 viewers from its Conan lead-in.
[U][i][b][url=http://watch-that-awkward-moment-online.tumblr.com/]Watch That Awkward Moment Online[/url][/b][/i][/U] The Pete Holmes Show was a big part of TBS’ late night block, airing at midnight on the “very funny” network. It was a great fit in the lineup alongside Conan, which airs at 11 p.m. ET (O’Brien is even an executive producer on the show). Unfortunately, even if the two shows fit really well together, Conan O’Brien’s earlier slot and bigger prominence as a celebrity helps the comedian to bring in more impressive ratings that Holmes. Ultimately, TBS told THR that it was the ratings that did The Pete Holmes Show in. "We recognize Pete as one of the most relevant comedians working today. We loved the show and gave it two chances. We just couldn't draw the audience needed to justify a third round. We hope we'll get to work with him again."
[U][i][b][url=http://watchtheraid2online2k.tumblr.com/]Watch The Raid 2 Online[/url][/b][/i][/U] So don’t wait to see if Fargo and Silicon Valley get renewed before diving into their awesomeness. Don’t be a bandwagon mourner. Remember why prime time earned that moniker in the first place. Turn your television on. Watch something. But also remember to go outside at some point. The last several weeks have been fraught with renewals, but also plenty of cancelations, leading to disappointed fans of numerous networks. Just when audiences thought they were safe from any more cancelations, TBS has chosen to throw us a curveball. If you are a late night aficionado who happens to love comedian Pete Holmes, TBS dropped the hammer on Friday. The Pete Holmes Show has been cancelled after two seasons.
[U][i][b][url=http://watchahauntedhouse2online2k14.tumblr.com/]Watch A Haunted House 2 Online[/url][/b][/i][/U] But barring yearlong For Your Consideration campaigns for every single series, the bulk of the effort needs to come from those planted in front their televisions. And always keep in mind that an audience’s projected size is almost always tied to its genre, and networks are always going to be more reluctant to develop sci-fi or high-concept mysteries than they are about surefire hits like police procedurals and hospital dramas.
[U][i][b][url=http://247watchtranscendenceonline2k.tumblr.com/]Watch Transcendence Online[/url][/b][/i][/U] In any case, why would anyone even want to avoid subject matter that interests them? The threat of a show’s cancellation is easily countered with being more outspoken about these series among friends and in social media. For years, audiences have wanted to feel more intrinsically responsible for the programming that networks put out, and we’re closer now than we’ve ever been. (Amazon’s pilot season voting campaign is a good example of how progressive that trend can get.) So it’s clearly not the time to just sit back and lazily hope that everyone else is digging a series just as much as you are, because that’s not enough when there are hundreds of them vying for viewers’ attention in a given year. The efforts to keep a show on TV should be happening when it’s still airing, without the need for posthumous pat-your-own-back resurrection petitions and Facebook pages. (Which I still support, don’t get me wrong.) It’s unclear what TBS will do with Holmes’ timeslot moving forward. It would be nice to pair someone with Conan that could continue the positive mojo he brings, but it’s possible they’ll choose “very funny” re-runs of syndicated comedies during the timeslot. "Your body isn't you, your soul is you. And they can never cut into your soul." Fox's new drama Red Band Society takes a different approach to a young adult ensemble story. There are no singing high schoolers and there's no glamorous backdrop. As we see in the trailer, these kids have little in common except for their residence, which is the pediatric ward of Ocean Park Hospital. In what looks like it could be a very emotional story about a group of teens battling a variety of medical issues, Red Band Society appears to be Fox's effort to move the young adult genre forward.
But I’m not entirely putting the blame on the hastily crafted assertions of angered TV fans. Almost Human had decent ratings compared to other shows of its kind and other Fox shows, but it was an extremely expensive series to produce. There’s logistically no reason why Fox couldn’t have used that important fact to appeal to people. Sure, some would cynically say that money could be better spent elsewhere, but others would take the network’s minor transparency as a hint of how things actually work, and how important it is to devote attention to first-rate projects when it matters.
