The good news is that ABC picked up Forever for a full season, the bad news is that they are not ordering the back nine episodes from Selfie.
Forever is a great procedural that is made even better due to the sweet chemistry between Judd Hirsch and his TV dad, Ioan Gruffudd. Out of all the new cop dramas this one is by far the best.
When it comes to Selfie, the pilot was OK. But every episode after that has proven to be precious gems. In fact, their episode Nuggets of Wisdom is still the best 30 minutes of television this season so far. I really hope this darling show finds another network to air on because it is so deserving. I also wish more people found it when it was on, but it had tough competition from the get go. Selfie was up against the #1 drama NCIS, the #1 reality show The Voice and The CW’s #1 show The Flash, it never really had a chance. I wish ABC would’ve given it more of one and waited to pair it with the cute family comedy Fresh Off the Boat.
When it comes to cast (especially Da’Vine Joy Randolph), I really hope that they all wind up on a new show soon. That is if this one doesn’t find a new home to air their new episodes. Someone please pick up Selfie, please please please!
