Boots, a show about two boys who sign up for the Marines in 1990, thinking that it will be like camp, who find out very quickly that it is not.
They and the other recruits are abused both mentally and physically by their commanding officer. It gets so bad that one of them dies because of it.
Basically, it is how Pete Hegseth wished he could run the military. And I did not even mention that several of the cadets and a commanding officer were in the closet because it was before Clinton’s policy of don’t ask, don’t tell.
Anyways, it was a well-received show that did well with viewers. However, not well enough to be promoted to a second season. Therefore, Deadline reports that Norman Lear’s last show is one-and-done.
They also said that Boots cannot be shopped around because it is owned by Sony, and Netflix does not allow outside studios to shop series cancelled by the streamer.
Since there is no clear reason for the cancellation, I have my theories on why it was not renewed for a second season. I wonder if the current administration asked for it to happen because it was Hegseth’s dream playbook. Or if Netflix is going to start cancelling shows because they need the money to buy Warner Bros? Or maybe the second season did not sound like something people would watch because they were going from Boot Camp to the Gulf War.
I don’t usually watch military shows, but I could not stop watching this one. However, I was not looking forward to them fighting the war. There was something about them in Boot Camp that made it different than most of those other shows.
Before Rob Reiner didn’t have a job on All in the Family, he delivered flowers on Batman. Even when he just uttered that one word when he was 19 in that 1967 episode, you can tell he was going to be a star.
CBS’s FBI is getting its fourth spinoff, and this one will focus on the CIA.
The Dick Wolf procedural has had a rough start since its straight-to-series. Its backdoor pilot was cancelled, and several actors and executive producers left the show.
Having said all of that, the show is going forward with Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss as the lead agents. Today, CBS released the first look at the series.
When by-the-book FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman (Gehlfuss) is loaned out to a clandestine CIA/FBI task force, he finds himself teamed up with secretive and roguish CIA case officer Colin Glass (Ellis). Together they will work covert operations in New York, uncovering international plots, terrorist cells, and geopolitical secrets. On CIA, Bill will learn the rules of this murky world on the fly as Colin leads him deeper into spy games where only one thing is clear — their work keeps America safe, even if no one will ever know what they did in the shadows. Necar Zadegan and Natalee Linez also star.
CIA premieres on February 28th. Are you going to watch?
