Don't Reveal Future Storylines

Just a reminder/pointer - when talking about shows that have been renewed can members be careful not to post info about next season that might reveal the plot or storyline for the current season that's still being aired.



Spoiler code can be used to hide info which gives readers of this thread the choice of whether to view or not. Just add this code before the content you wish to hide [spoiler] and this code after the content [/spoiler]

Example:




Or i you want to name the spoiler, the code before the content you wish to hide should be constructed as follows [spoiler=this reveals future storylines]

Example:

Rather than creating a new thread for the 2011/12 season, I've renamed this thread so that it can be used to discuss all aspects of US TV shows - new shows, cancellations, renewals etc...

Anyway...

NBC have announced some of their new shows for this autumn. Having had a brief look, two trailers have caught my eye; Awake which looks excellent, and Grimm which looks as if it could be good.















I suspect that Hell On Wheels will be yet another excellent AMC creation.

Awake is probably my favorite of the new shows coming in the autumn.

Also looking forward to the new J.J Abrams show Alcatraz. I like Fringe so have high hopes for this + it has Hurley and Sam Neill. Although it does remind me a lot of the 4400.



Also interested to see how the Speilberg produced show Terra Nova does. Trailer looks good and the budget is reportedly one of the highest ever spent on a tv show something like 4 million an episode.



With all these new shows coming it kinda makes sense why so many decent shows were cancelled this year.

They must be expecting a lot of big hits in the autumn and from the look of some of the trailers the Autumn schedule looks pretty jam packed with top quality shows returning + the new ones launching.

All superb series deserving of their renewal, but i will be sorry to see the end of Smallville.

Here's a pic from the would have been Wonder Woman pilot, from what i've heard on the net of review's of it, the pilot wasn't very good at all and was nothing like comic in shape or form. But the actress playing Wonder Woman how ever was very good tho:

Upset that V and The Defenders won't be coming back.
