Think I'm gonna give this one a miss until 2013 cancellation announcements, I'm sick of investing myself in a show only for it to be canned without closure.

What's really bad about this is that the networks don't get this. It is become a very common mentality and the networks ignore this factor when making cancellation considerations.

I think there should be a new rule for all sci-fi shows on network stations: make a first season with only 13 episodes and see how it does. You're spending less for the show, give it a shot, require viewers to put less time in upfront and see how the fans react to it. Put it in the best possible time slot (like immediately after American Idol if it is on FOX). If the show's good, it should only build viewers.

Won't last. Not on NBC. I have seen NBC kill series. Not cancel, actively kill a series.

Showed 4 episodes, moved it to Saturday to show another episode, held the rest of the series for 3 months before dumping the rest of the series on Saturday and cancelling it.

I already know what the fans can send in to protest once they go that route, batteries.

I liked Kings too.

This sounds interesting but I'll echo what everyone else and say that I hate to get emotionally invested in a show only to have it killed. However, I'm willing to give this one a try for the fact that Giancarlo Esposito (who happened to give an outstanding performance in Breaking Bad) is a cast member.

Honestly, I'm not even going to bother. I would LOVE a show like this one to be successful, but JJ Abrams ? NBC ? Not gonna happen. Spoiler : The reason there is no electricity is supernatural. It's JJ after all. I haven't seen a truly great post-apocalyptic show yet. It would be really awesome but I'd only give one a chance if it was aired on HBO.

Elizabeth Mitchell is reuniting with Lost creator J.J. Abrams as a series regular on his post-apocalyptic NBC drama Revolution, TVLine has learned.

Mitchell will play Rachel Matheson, the mother of Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and Danny Matheson (Graham Rogers), and appear in a series in flashbacks. (The role was filled by Rescue Me?s Andrea Roth in the original pilot.)

Abrams and writer Eric Kripke (Supernatural) are executive-producing Revolution, in which all of the power in the world mysteriously shuts off. Picking up 15 years after the catastrophe, the series follows a band of survivors trying to evade a ruthless militia unit that wants to get the current flowing again, though for the wrong reasons.

The Twilight saga?s Billy Burke plays Miles, the survivors? unlikely leader and Rachel?s brother-in-law, and Breaking Bad?s Giancarlo Esposito is Captain Neville, a sadistic militia commander. On Friday, Daniella Alonso (Friday Night Lights) was added to the cast as Nora, a rebel fighter.

Mitchell?s other TV credits include V and the HBO movie Gia, opposite Angelina Jolie.

Revolution premieres Monday, Sept. 17, at 10 pm/9c.

i have no hope for this show. The idea is ok, but it's better suited for a mini series. Instead, NBC will force them to drag it out in a 22 episode season, then they'll cancel it like 'The Event.'

'The Event' could have been a good show it it was only 8 episodes long. idk why people think seasons need to be so dang long.

Totally agree. Shows like this are much better suited for networks like SyFy, USA, TNT, FX, AMC, HBO, Showtime, or something else other than the big 4. The big 4 continue to do 22-24 episode seasons and then they wonder why their ratings are in the tank.

Both The Event and FlashForward are shows that I think deserved better!

Totally agree. Loved both of those shows. The cliffhanger for The Event was friggin' mental.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
