Ghosted premiered on Fox in the fall and did OK after The Simpsons. After the program aired its initial 10 episodes, the network pulled the paranormal investigation sitcom for a creative rework. Those 6 episodes started to air earlier this month, and, to be honest, they sucked.
They took what made the show so great and turned it into any other office related show. Kind of like what Fox did to Breaking In a few years ago and destroyed the heart and soul of it. Well, I guess I am not the only who did not like the changes to the Craig Robinson/Adam Scott starrer because TV Line is reporting it is cancelled. Not only will it not get a second season, but as of now, the final three episodes are not slated to air at all. Normally, I would be upset about the latter; but since they severely messed it up, I am OK with not knowing what happens next.
Hopefully, one day Adam Scott and Craig Robinson will get a show or movie worthy of their comedic genius. Granted, their film Hot Tub Time Machine 2 was absolutely awful. Yet, it was still better than the last three episodes of Ghosted.

It has been 7 years since every Friday we have Rebecca Black’s song stuck in our heads. That was when she was just 13 years old and now the 20-year-old (feeling old?) is still trying to make it on to the music scene.
Yesterday, she auditioned for The Four on Fox by turning *NSYNC’s pop hit Bye, Bye, Bye into a ballad. Was the performance good enough to advance to next week’s episode? Sadly, the judges, Meghan Trainor, P Diddy and the guy who does not go down on his wife (that is all I see him as now) said bye, bye bye to her. While they did, we never will because it is Friday and you know what that means, everybody’s looking forward to the weekend, weekend. Partying, partying, yeah.
Seriously though, she needs to keep on trying to make her dream become a reality. Now that we are hearing her without all of that autotuning, we can actually hear that she can really sing. Black should give The Voice a try!

Fox announced their fall schedule this morning and I cannot say I am happy about it. I think they should have stayed with Lucifer and Last Man on Earth over The Gifted and The Resident. On the latter, I get why they kept it. They believe it is a good fit with 9-1-1, but personally, the Ryan Murphy drama is going into Lucifer territory in storylines. The Gifted and Lethal Weapon pairing makes no sense to me. It will be interesting to see if viewers feel the same way. Wednesdays are the same, but I think Empire needs to end. It is a shell of what it used to be. Thursday is freaking Football, more on that below. Fridays will give us Last Man Standing with The Cool Kids. Personally, I am looking forward to both. Sundays will see no comedies in the 7p hour, which is why they got rid go LMOE to make room for Rel. I love Jerrod Carmichael, know his brilliance, but I will not give this comedy all my heart.
The Orville and Gotham’s final season move to midseason. My feeling is The Orville will be paired with Cosmos. It can be the Seth MacFarlane day. Fox has not made any decisions on LA to Vegas and Ghosted. At this point, they are working on new seasons of Prison Break and 24, but it is in the very early phases. When it comes to The X-Files, they have no plans, as of now, to bring it back.
Finally, the New Fox is due to getting a new audience because of football. With the sports ratings declining, it will be interesting to see how many new viewers they get. I think they should have kept the loyal ones instead of focusing on the new ones. But that is me.

Five days after Fox fired Clayne Crawford from Lethal Weapon, they finally found someone to join the procedural for its third season. That’s right not only did they reveal that Seann William Scott is joining the show, they announced that the show will be back for a third season because of the casting.
Scott is not replacing Crawford on the show, instead he will be playing a new character that has yet to be determined. Some sites are saying he might be playing Riggs’ brother, but it is too early to tell. I mean, after all, it has not even been a week since this all went down.
When it comes to Scott, I wish him well. I have always been a fan of his work and know that he has a very quick wit which is a great talent for an actor to have. Especially, if you are working with a Wayans brother.

The morning started off nicely because Fox renewed Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers, but then came CBS. They cancelled Superior Donuts, which was a good comedy that took on taboo topics, and showed both sides of those issues responsibly. They also pulled the plug on Scorpion, I think the season finale twist did them in. That and the ratings, but I will go with the former.
It wasn’t only bad news from the Eye, they are sticking with Criminal Minds, Man Without a Plan, Instinct and Life in Pieces. Who watches those shows?
NBC also revealed that they are doing an all-star version of America’s Got Talent for the winter. NBC also picked up Blacklist for a season 6.
Over at CBS, they are sticking with Elementary for another season. But they are not sticking with 9JKL, Kevin Can Wait, Living Biblically and Wisdom of the Crowd.
