TAKEN Starring: Clive Standen, Gaius Charles, Brooklyn Sudano, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Michael Irby, Jose Pablo Cantillo, James Landry Hebert, and Jennifer Beals Created for Television by Alexander Cary Written by Alexander Cary, Directed by Alex Graves Most of the time when there's a TV reboot of a hit movie, I haven't seen the movie. I'm such a TV buff that I have very little time for movies. But Taken is one of those movies I have seen so I am equipped to make comparisons unlike usual. And Taken the TV show suffers greatly compared to the thrilling, albeit occasionally outrageous, film. Set up as a prequel (but also oddly set in modern day), Taken looks at a young version of Liam Neeson's character, played by Clive Standen. He has a personal tragedy in his life when his sister is killed and is out for revenge as he also begins working for the CIA for Christina Hart (Jennifer Beals). The first thing that jumps out is how much Liam Neeson is mi...

In the first instance of the entire 2016-17 season, a show has been pulled early from the schedule. CBS has yanked Doubt after just two airings. It will be replaced by a Bull repeat this coming week and then the new season of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders starting March 8. While CBS isn't officially calling it a cancellation, this is the first time a show has been pulled immediately from a schedule. There was one show with its order trimmed ( Notorious ) and several other shows that did not get additional episodes ordered. But this is the first to be instantly pulled. How crazy that it took until February.

After renewing The Mick yesterday, FOX announced today that two more freshmen have gotten a second season. The Wednesday pair of Lethal Weapon and Star both got second seasons which was not a surprise. Lethal Weapon has been a solid Wednesday lead off all season whether leading into Empire or Star . It is a much needed procedural success story for FOX. Star has bridged the Empire gap and while the Lee Daniels show is certainly no Empire , it has been steady for quite awhile after a couple rough early drops. These two dramas join The Mick, Bob's Burgers, Empire, Hell's Kitchen, Lucifer, and The Simpsons as official renewals for 2017-18. I won't rehash all of the rest of the FOX shows after going over it  yesterday .

FOX announced today that it has renewed freshman comedy The Mick for a second season. The Kaitlin Olson sitcom got a strong premiere airing out of an NFL doubleheader on the last Sunday of the regular season. Then given a tough Tuesday 8:30pm timeslot, it has had a small but loyal audience and has often built on its New Girl lead-in. FOX seemed to really be behind it from the start and considering the number of problems FOX is having, The Mick is doing just fine. The Mick joins Bob's Burgers, Empire, Hell's Kitchen, Lucifer, and The Simpsons  as official renewals for next season. Sure to join them are Family Guy, Gotham, Lethal Weapon, and  Masterchef Junior . It's looking good for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Star.  On the bubble is 24: Legacy, The Last Man on Earth, My Kitchen Rules, New Girl, Rosewood, and  Sleepy Hollow . Finally, it's not looking good for APB, The Exorcist, Pitch, Scream Queens, and Son of Zorn though a surprise renewal for one of those shows in the...

DOUBT Starring: Katherine Heigl, Dule Hill, Laverne Cox, Dreama Walker, Kobi Libii, with Steven Pasquale, and Elliott Gould Created by Joan Rater and Tony Phelan Written by Joan Rater & Tony Phelan, Directed by Adam Bernstein Doubt is a new legal drama with a great cast but a pretty standard story. Sadie Ellis (Katherine Heigl) is top attorney who has fallen for one of her clients, Billy Brennan (Steven Pasquale). Her firm includes TV veterans Dule Hill, Laverne Cox, Dreama Walker, and Elliott Gould. The strongest element to this show is definitely the cast. I am not always a Katherine Heigl fan but she has found a much better vehicle for herself here than State of Affairs , where she was horribly miscast. This is a better role but also she's more of an ensemble which also works better. The rest of the cast is notable too. Elliott Gould is a standout early on and the show got a lot of attention due to the casting of Laverne Cox. The show makes a passing ...

NBC handed out another early renewal today. This time it was to Superstore  for a third season. The show gave NBC's comedy department a much needed pulse last season and it was tapped to lead off the Thursday lineup this year. It has done OK, managing to not get fractional yet in the demo. It also has some critical goodwill and is the closest thing NBC has to a comedy centerpiece at this point. Superstore joins The Good Place, This is Us, and The Voice as early renewals for next season. Sure to join them are Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Law & Order: SVU, and The Wall . Likely renewals include Chicago Med and The Blacklist . On the bubble is The New Celebrity Apprentice  and Blindspot,  and it's not looking good for Emerald City, Powerless, and Timeless . Still to premiere this season is The Blacklist: Redemption, Taken, Chicago Justice, Trial & Error, Great News, and new seasons of Little Big Shots and Shades of Blue .

FOX announced today that it has renewed Lucifer for a third season. The surprisingly steady Monday night drama is currently on hiatus for 24: Legacy and APB and it won't be back until late April but FOX gave it a vote of confidence by already renewing it. With this season lasting into the summer, it's possible Lucifer may not be back until midseason in 2017-18. Lucifer joins Bob's Burgers, Empire, Hell's Kitchen, and The Simpsons as official renewals for next season. Sure to join them are Family Guy, Gotham, Lethal Weapon, and  Masterchef Junior . Likely renewals include Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Mick, and Star . On the bubble is 24: Legacy, APB, The Last Man on Earth, New Girl, Rosewood, and Son of Zorn . And it's not looking good for The Exorcist, My Kitchen Rules, Pitch, Scream Queens, and Sleepy Hollow. Still to premiere is Making History, Kicking & Screaming, Shots Fired, and the Prison Break revival.

ABC announced on Friday that they renewed their three TGIT dramas for the 2017-18 season. It will be an impressive 14th season for Grey's Anatomy , a 7th season for Scandal , and a 4th season for How to Get Away with Murder . None of these renewals were ever in doubt and though they are not as red hot as they once were, they are still a very solid lineup together. It is likely that Grey's will continue to be a full season and Murder contractually only does 16 episodes a year. The question mark is Scandal , which had a shorter season this year due to Kerry Washington's pregnancy. Will it continue as a midyear entry or will it be back in the fall? The three dramas join The Middle as official renewals for next year. Sure to join them are Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, Black-ish, and Shark Tank . Also looking good are American Housewife, Fresh Off the Boat Speechless, Designated Survivor, Last Man Standing, and probably  Dr. Ken,  On the b...
