| 1 | Live action TV has had a number of [[SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced moments where the casting has engendered excitement.]] Here are a few: |

| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | |
| 16 | !!Other examples: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': [[Creator/JeffreyCombs JEFFREY COMBS]] AS WEYOUN. |
| 19 | * They're doing ''another'' adaptation of ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''? ''Another'' one? And it's going to be set in modern-day instead of period? Didn't they already try doing that back in the '40s? Wait... it's being created by ''Creator/StevenMoffat'' and ''Creator/MarkGatiss''? '''''Creator/{{MARTIN FREEMAN}}''''' is [[TheWatson Watson]]?? And '''''Creator/{{BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH}}''''' is [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Holmes]]? Holy shit!! |
| 20 | ** They're bringing in Mary Morstan ''and'' she's being played by Martin Freeman's partner Amanda Abbington?? Are there enough ways to say ''hell yes'' to this??? |
| 21 | ** SERIES THREE!!! |
| 22 | * Creator/JaneEspenson (of ''Series/{{Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}'', ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'', and ''Series/{{Caprica}}'' fame) is on the writing staff for ''Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay''! As are Doris Egan, whom one may know from ''Series/DarkAngel'' and ''Series/{{House}}'', and John Shiban, whom one may know from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and ''Series/TheXFiles''. |
| 23 | * ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'' had ''two''. After it was decided to bring in a second pair of detectives ([[RealLifeWritesThePlot due to D'Onofrio becoming clinically exhausted]]), it was announced that the second pair would have Creator/ChrisNoth, reprising his role as Mike Logan from the [[Series/LawAndOrder original series]]. And recent trailers have revealed that the next detective on the show would be played by '''Creator/JeffGoldblum'''. |
| 24 | ** And then, after D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe left the show in the 8th Season, Goldblum had an entire season to himself. However, middling ratings created a threat of cancellation, so he ended up jumping the ship and didn't renew his contract. So now what? Will they just stop the series? Wait...'''VINCENT D'ONOFRIO IS COMING BACK???''' '''''WITH KATHRYN ERBE???????''''' '''WOO-HOO!!!''' (and a nice inversion of FinalSeasonCasting, to boot) |
| 25 | * The new ''Series/KnightRider'' show has a fair share of haters, especially fans of the old series. But it seems like the producers were paying attention to the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' fandom and they have revealed an episode where a villain from the old series returns, KITT's EvilCounterpart KARR. To top it off, they also brought back the original voice actor for KARR, who is... yes, Creator/PeterCullen. The show is still hated, but no one can argue that bit of casting. |
| 26 | ** Given that the new KARR looks more like Optimus Prime than the old KARR, one wonders if this isn't just a happy coincidence. |
| 27 | * ''Series/FamilyFeud,'' in the first John O'Hurley season, fashioned the set into an updated version of the classic Richard Dawson/Ray Combs set. |
| 28 | * What's this? ''Million Dollar Password''? Oh, they're just twisting the classic to fit in with today's big money shows. It's actually more like ''Pyramid'' and...Oh, Creator/BettyWhite is going to be on an episode? When's it on???? [[MemeticMutation NO, NOT BETTY WHITE!]] |
| 29 | * They're making ''[[Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', a TV show based on the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise, WITHOUT Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger? - Hold on - they're replacing him with [[Series/{{Firefly}} RIVER TAM]]!!! |
| 30 | * The New York television station WPIX 11 is known for doing this a lot. Even as they became a partial O&O of Creator/TheWB and later an affiliate of Creator/TheCW (obviously having to use their programming as well as others that appeal to modern audiences; i.e. Jerry Springer, ''Series/{{Friends}}'' reruns, etc.), they would often present nods to their past, especially for those who grew up with the station in the '70s and '80s. Among them have been: ''Honeymooners'' marathons on New Year's Day; a retrospective on ''The Magic Garden''; the Halloween 2008 return of ''Chiller Theatre''; and one of the most popular, the return of the Christmas Day Yule Log since 2001. For a time they used to have a prime time block of '70s sitcoms on Saturdays, and for their 60th anniversary, a marathon was dedicated to classic programs that used to be seen on WPIX. |
| 31 | ** Of course the most visible moment that caused celebration now would be the fact that the station has stripped itself of the "CW" logo and goes by "PIX 11" (complete with slightly updated version of the "Circle 11" logo it used in its heyday). |
| 32 | ** In December 2013, staffers at WPIX discovered a [[http://pix11.com/2013/12/23/lost-christmas-episode-of-the-magic-garden-found-in-secret-pix11-basement-room/ hidden vault]], containing ''dozens'' of unique things that the channel ran dating back to TheFifties - including the original master tapes of the Christmas Yule Log, a [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball Billy Martin]] special, TV shows ranging from ''Series/TheHoneymooners'' to ''Series/TheWonderYears'', and a [[MissingEpisode once-lost]] ChristmasEpisode of ''The Magic Garden'' (which they aired on Christmas Day 2013). At the end of the article, they mention having "several off-site storage warehouses [they] plan to explore soon" - meaning that there could be even ''bigger'' discoveries made. WeWait... |
| 33 | ** In 2016, the ''original'' version of the Yule Log, thought for the longest time to have been damaged beyond repair, was somehow found and scheduled to air on December 24, exactly 50 years to the day where it aired the first time. |
| 34 | * With Season 2 gone and done, and Season 3 scripts about three-quarters of the way through, ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' was looking less and less like must-see TV. And then they rehired Creator/BryanFuller of ''Series/PushingDaisies'' as Writing Counselor. Yes, the guy who wrote the episode "Company Man". |
| 35 | ** And now we've gotten something even cooler: ''Heroes'' will return in a 13-episode series called ''Heroes Reborn''! (No relation to the Marvel event). |
| 36 | *** It took a while for the cast to be announced as to who would and wouldn't be returning. There was quite a stir when news broke that Creator/MasiOka would reprise his role as EnsembleDarkhorse Hiro Nakamura. |
| 37 | * ''Franchise/KamenRider'': |
| 38 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' worried the fans with the cherry red, plastic-looking costume for the eponymous hero. Then came the trailers showing practically every Rider from the 2000s involved in a single, gigantic battle against an unseen foe (It was the very virst scene of the series). Not to mention the ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'' crossover and the ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' arc (the latter complete with Tetsuo Kurata reprising the role of Kotaro Minami). |
| 39 | *** Five words: ''All Riders vs. Great Shocker''. The rejoicing continues to pile up with each new bit of news, including the fact that [[Series/KamenRiderBlack Black]] and [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Agito]] will be played by their original actors (Note that the former was before the ''Black RX'' arc was announced). |
| 40 | *** It was announced that pop singer Gackt will be playing Riderman, whose original actor has passed on. The fact that Gackt is JustForFun/OneOfUs and has healthy respect for ''Franchise/KamenRider'' means it counts as an ATFR. |
| 41 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' recieved a similar treatment. Many made gay jokes over the FusionDance aspect. But then they revealed a single detail about the suit that made the fans want in at the press meeting. [[ScarfOfAsskicking A silver bifurcated scarf]], just like the Showa era Riders. |
| 42 | ** The Heisei era riders are going to get novel sequels, with most getting the writers who worked on the shows directly involved. One particular delight is that one of ''[[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki]]''[='s=] main writers before the controversial {{ReTool}} is going to be working with the ''Hibiki'' novel. |
| 43 | ** So for the franchise’s [[MilestoneCelebration 50th Anniversary]], three special project announcements have been planned. Let’s see what these announcements are-wait, the ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' sequel Manga ''Futo Detectives'' is getting an Anime Adaptation?! ''Series/KamenRiderBlack'' is getting a reboot?! Man, with those two announcements already being this good, what could the third one possibly be-''[[Creator/HideakiAnno HIDEAKI ANNO’S]] GOING TO DIRECT A SHIN KAMEN RIDER FILM?! EVEN IF THERE IS NO GOD OR BUDDHA, THERE REALLY IS KAMEN RIDER!'' |
| 44 | ** Discotek Media has done the unthinkable and managed to license an older Rider series that isn't released by Shout Factory: the original ''Series/KamenRiderBlack'', just in time for its ''Black Sun'' reboot! |
| 45 | * ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' has this line from the trailer: "I have seen [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Men of steel die]] and [[Franchise/{{Batman}} dark knights fall]]." Cue excited squealing. |
| 46 | * A [[Series/ThePrisoner2009 remake]] of ''Series/{{The Prisoner|1967}}''? Oh man, it's gonna be a lame [[CulturalTranslation Americanized]] [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks hack job]], etcetera...But then, Creator/IanMcKellen said..."[[http://io9.com/5385875/ian-mckellen-is-a-sick-torture-genius-in-new-trailer-for-the-prisoner Be seeing you]]". AndThereWasMuchRejoicing. |
| 47 | * ''Gameshow Marathon'' is going to be hosted by Ricki Lake? RICKI F'N LAKE?!!? And C-list celebrities will be playing all the ga...oh wow, is that a recreation of the CBS ''Series/MatchGame'' set? And the NBC version of ''Series/CardSharks'', going back to the ORIGINAL rules??? And [[Series/PressYourLuck the Big Board]] lives! |
| 48 | * Michael Schumacher's coming back to UsefulNotes/FormulaOne? Oh fuck yeah, I'm watching again! |
| 49 | * The average ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fan's reaction to the ''Literature/TheColourOfMagic'' miniseries news. "Meh, that really wasn't one of his best books. And Creator/DavidJason as Rincewind? Are they ''kidding''? HOLY CRAP, [[Creator/JeremyIrons JEREMY IRONS]] IS PLAYING THE PATRICIAN! [[Creator/TimCurry TIM CURRY]] AS TRYMON! [[Creator/ChristopherLee CHRISTOPHER LEE]] AS [[TheGrimReaper DEATH]]! THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!" |
| 50 | * Oh, they're making a new superhero drama on NBC called ''Series/TheCape''. Eh, we've already got one superhero drama wait is that Creator/KeithDavid and is ''that'' Creator/SummerGlau and ''holy shit'' this is going to be ''awesome!'' |
| 51 | * ''Series/{{Glee}}'' was announced to be getting a second AND third season before its first season was even finished airing. Needless to say the fans were pleased. |
| 52 | ** The addition of [[Creator/TeamStarKid Darren Criss]] to the cast excited a large portion of the gleeks. |
| 53 | ** Two fandoms rejoiced at once when it was announced that ''Creator/JossWhedon'' was going to direct an episode. More rejoicing when it was revealed that ''Creator/NeilPatrickHarris'' was guest starring in the episode. YES PLEASE! |
| 54 | %%** Charice. |
| 55 | ** The news that Darren Criss and the Warblers will be releasing an album of their own was greeted with multiple, ear-piercing squeals. |
| 56 | ** However there was an inversion for the first confirmed song of the prom episode. Friday. |
| 57 | ** No doubt quite a few will rejoice when they hear that Finn and Rachel '''''WON'T''''' be going through any more drama. Of course, half of them are [[{{Shipping}} genuine shippers]] and the other half is ''utterly sick of Finchel drama.'' |
| 58 | ** Remember when glee was renewed for two more seasons simultaneously when it first started? It happened again near the end of season four, with a fifth and sixth season confirmed. The fandom was just as pleased as last time. |
| 59 | * Well done, ''[[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit SVU]]. You've killed off yet another AD-- hey, is that [[HelloAttorney Alex Cabot]]? [[LesYay Boy, is Liv going to be pleased to see you!]] |
| 60 | * The news that Netflix bought the rights to adapt Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents into an original series, a full 10 years after the failed attempt to adapt the books into films. On top of that, Daniel Handler himself will be executive producing, and the director will be none other than Barry Sonnenfeld, who has plenty of experience working on [[Film/TheAddamsFamily darkly]] [[Film/GetShorty funny]] [[Film/AddamsFamilyValues cult]] [[Series/PushingDaisies favourites.]] |
| 61 | * Pretty much every announcement regarding the LiveActionAdaptation of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' has gotten this reaction. First came the news that Frank Darabont, maker of ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'' and ''Film/TheGreenMile'', two of the greatest films of TheNineties, was the executive producer, and was writing and directing the pilot. Then came the fact that Robert Kirkman was directly involved as a part of the creative team, including writing the fourth episode. And then came the trailer and the behind-the-scenes footage, which revealed that AMC is ''not'' holding back one bit on the violence. |
| 62 | * Creator/JossWhedon is making a [[Series/{{Dollhouse}} new show]]! And it stars Creator/ElizaDushku! Wait...is she ''about to [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer kiss]]'' a sexily scarred Creator/AmyAcker?! And she's wearing DOMINATRIX GEAR this episode? And she seems to have been lesbians with ''[[Creator/SummerGlau SUMMER GLAU]]''?!?! |
| 63 | * Many people like to pretend [[SeasonalRot Season 8]] of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' didn't exist. Season 9 had mixed but better results. So people were a bit skeptical about Season 10....wait...is the final BigBad! The Comicbook/SuicideSquad! The possibility of Lex returning! Well okay I gue...huh...John Schnider AND Creator/JohnGlover are going to have guest roles! [[BigOMG OH MY GOD]], IS THAT THE SUPER SUIT!?. Yeah, this is gonna be awesome! |
| 64 | ** Callum Blue returning for an episode? Cool! |
| 65 | ** Creator/MichaelRosenbaum coming back for the series finale? Holy crap!!! |
| 66 | ** How about the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica? In a two-parter? Written by ''Creator/GeoffJohns''? |
| 67 | * The news that [[CoolOldLady Margaret Mountford]] would be returning for the interview episode in Series 6 of ''Series/TheApprentice'' (UK) was greeted with [[http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/dec/14/the-apprentice-margaret-mountford widespread jubilation]]. |
| 68 | * Wait, [[Series/TheCape another superhero story on NBC?]] Yawn-- Is that Creator/KeithDavid and Creator/SummerGlau? In the same movie? While the nerds of the internet go Nerdgasm in the corner, you can be damn sure there will be rejoicing. |
| 69 | ** Rejoicing, yes, but evidently this did not translate into anyone actually bothering to watch the show. |
| 70 | * ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' - Creator/LeonardNimoy as William Bell. Anyone? |
| 71 | * No more JJ or Prentiss on ''Series/CriminalMinds'' during season six? And they're adding a new agent named Seaver who [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute looks like JJ]]? Forget it, I'm done with this show...Wait JJ and Prentiss are coming back as regulars for season seven? Seaver was PutOnABus? YES! YES! YES! |
| 72 | * Fans of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' were happy to hear about ''Series/DrewCareysImprovaganza''. |
| 73 | ** Wait, ''Whose Line?'' is being revived in the summer of 2013? Aww, Drew Carey's not gonna be hosting...but Colin, Ryan, and Wayne are guaranteed in every episode? Summer can't come fast enough! |
| 74 | *** ...wait, Laura Hall announced on Reddit that she and Linda Taylor are returning?! |
| 75 | * The Australian series ''Series/{{Underbelly}}'' didn't need to do this as it was already a smash hit, however there was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwsRSYSPRsE promo]] that introduced the characters...was that [[Series/BlueHeelers Tom Croydon]]? |
| 76 | * '''[[Creator/BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED]]''' is going to be in the new series of QI? On the Christmas episode? SIGN ME UP, PRONTO. |
| 77 | * The rotation of guest announcers on ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' following longtime announcer Charlie O'Donnell's death. Almost everyone was pulling for Jim Thornton, since he was the only one who seemed to put any enthusiasm into his work. Finally, at the end of season 28, he was confirmed as the permanent announcer. |
| 78 | * A television series of the book ''Literature/GoodOmens''...ehh...the [[DevelopmentHell film]] never happened and that was [[QuestionableCasting fortunate]] so perhaps th- [[Creator/MontyPython Terry Jones]] is in charge?! YES! |
| 79 | * They're making [[Series/CosmosASpacetimeOdyssey a new Cosmos]]...with ''UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson''. |
| 80 | ** And Creator/SethMacFarlane is producing it, with the intention of using his clout at Fox to get the show on a prime time slot. |
| 81 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMJxjYRXYkU Trailer's out]]. And yes, that ''is'' the [[CoolShip Spaceship Of The Imagination]]. |
| 82 | * A TV series of Literature/AmericanGods is being made, with Creator/NeilGaiman writing for it. |
| 83 | * ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' is [[http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothypomerantz/2011/10/02/arrested-development-returning-to-tv-with-a-movie-to-follow/ coming back for another season?]] Now I can die happy. |
| 84 | * [[http://news.yahoo.com/billy-crystal-returning-host-oscars-001559286.html Billy Crystal's going to host the Oscars again!]] |
| 85 | * ''Series/TheCloser'' is ending in summer 2012? OH NO! Wait...did you just say there's going to be a {{spinoff}}?? ''Starring Creator/MaryMcDonnell as Sharon Raydor??'' '''OH DEAR GOD YES PLEASE!!''' |
| 86 | * FX is making an ''Film/AngerManagement'' TV series? Oh, god. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck It's gonna suck]] without Creator/JackNicholson and Creator/AdamSandler. It'll be even worse because none of the original actors are reprising their roles and it's very loosely based on the movie, meaning no original plots or charac--WAIT!! [[Creator/CharlieSheen CHARLIE SHEEN]]'S GONNA BE IN IT?!?!?!?!?! AFTER BEING FIRED BY THE CBS EXECUTIVES FROM ''[[Series/TwoAndAHalfMen TWO AND A HALF MEN]]''?!?!?!?!?! EPIC WINNING. |
| 87 | %%What work is this?* For [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP:FiM fans]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlHnFywtesY "I wanna give a big shout out here, out there,]] ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' to all my bronies who may be watching." |
| 88 | * From ''Series/TheColbertReport'': The Better Know A District series is [[TheBusCameBack coming back]] with Nancy Pelosi agreeing that, since Creator/StephenColbert threw his might behind the "Disclose Act", will encourage the Democratic Congresspeople to come on his show for the interviews. |
| 89 | * From ''Series/TheCape'': Creator/SummerGlau and Creator/KeithDavid? You mean we get [[{{Series/Firefly}} River Tam]][=/=][[Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles Cameron]] and [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Sergeant Foley]][=/=][[Franchise/MassEffect David Anderson]][=/=][[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Goliath]][=/=][[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Doctor Facilier]] on the same screen together? ''Hell yes.'' And Music/BearMcCreary is doing the score! |
| 90 | ** Music/BearMcCreary has more resources to work with, namely a live traditional studio orchestra to match the retro orchestral scores of superhero movies (which in themselves are retro homages to early Hollywood action movies, which in turn are inspired by late Romantic symphonies and tone poems). On ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' and ''Series/{{Caprica}}'' he was fairly limited to whatever unconventional instruments he could find or play himself, which led to a much more musically unique (for US TV) soundtrack. |
| 91 | *** Perhaps a remnant of ''BSG'', The Cape's theme opens up with a brief erhu (Chinese bowed instrument used frequently in the score to BSG) passage. |
| 92 | * Man, it sucks that no ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' has been officially released aside from the [[Series/{{Ultraman}} original]] and ''[[Series/UltramanTiga Tiga]]'', and the former not to the Tsubaraya's approval and the latter is out of print... Shout Factory is releasing ''Series/UltraSeven''?! Though Tsubaraya can't license it directly it's not through Chaiyo?! And it's coming out at the end of 2012?! Yay! |
| 93 | ** ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'', ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'', and ''Series/UltraQ'' are all being streamed at [=ShoutFactory TV=]?! Woohoo!! |
| 94 | ** ''Series/UltramanLeo'', ''Series/UltramanEighty'', ''Series/UltramanMax'' and ''Series/UltramanMebius'' are legally available to watch on Crunchyroll! And yes, this is legit. As long as Crunchyroll supports your country, you're good to go. Not to mention these 4 are the first toku to air in the service! ''Series/UltramanX'' has become the first Toku series to livestream on Crunchyroll too! And ''Series/UltramanNexus'', ''Series/UltramanGaia'', and ''Series/UltramanGinga''[[note]]SequelSeries ''Ultraman Ginga S'' included[[/note]] have joined the lineup! |
| 95 | ** 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' and Tsuburaya is celebrating it with a new series, ''Ultraman Orb''! |
| 96 | ** The Toku Network has become the first channel to air Ultra series in America in subbed format, including ''Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle'', ''Series/UltrasevenX'', and many of the above-mentioned Crunchyroll series! |
| 97 | ** Huh? The first 2 Ultra series on Blu-ray? Cool I guess, it doesn’t really help an American Ultra fan if they already got [=DVD=] releases befo- hold up a second. Tsuburaya Productions got the licensing problems straight after the Chaiyo controversy? And they made a deal with Creator/MillCreekEntertainment to release the Ultra series in the US? ''And'' there's more Ultra series sets coming out on Blu-ray as the months go on? Thank Ultraman it's finally happening! |
| 98 | * ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' is being uncanceled in 2011 for two more seasons? Hell yeah! |
| 99 | ** There's going to be a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' and ''Liopleurodon'' in the fifth season? Hooray! |
| 100 | ** A spin-off series in Canada? A ''[[TheMovie theatrical feature film]]'' in America?! YAY!!! |
| 101 | * There's gonna be a SequelSeries to ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' '''and''' Creator/BenSavage and Creator/DanielleFishel have signed on to return!! |
| 102 | ** And it's been picked up for 2014!!! |
| 103 | ** Even better, they're gonna be showing re-runs of ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' to show this new generation "how it all started"! |
| 104 | ** Two words for the sequel: SHAWN. RETURNS. Twice even, in the 1st season, no less! |
| 105 | * Mac Taylor finally has a likeable, serious girlfriend on ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' AND he just told her he loves her onscreen? Yes! |
| 106 | ** The fandom rejoiced to hear Aiden was making an appearance after being fired, then a collective groan went out when she was killed and only appeared in flashbacks. |
| 107 | * [[Creator/FeliciaDay Charlie]] is returning to ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' for another episode? [[BigYes HECK YES!]] Oh, and there's a new time travel episode this season! Those episodes are usually pretty good. Awesome. Wait, a character from the past is going to come to the present? Oh... okay. Wait. What? THEY'RE JOHN WINCHESTER'S PARENTS? YESYESYES! |
| 108 | ** Lately, ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has been [[WinBackTheCrowd improving again]], though what if it's cancel- Did Creator/TheCW just renew the show early? (along with ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' and ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'', making it an ATFR moment for their fandom too) And there's already ideas up to Season 10? [[BigYes YEEESSSS!!!!]] (For hindsight, The CW almost never renews shows early, due to the network's business model and limited budget.) |
| 109 | ** Chuck is back in season 10! Yes, it's a cameo, but the next season brings him back again! And the fans are right, he is literally '''''[[{{God}} GOD!!]]''''' |
| 110 | ** The season 11 finale brings back ''[[MissingMom Mary Winchester]]''. No, we're not talking about ghost or hallucination or some other being pretending to be her. The one whose death set off the series in motion, the one who is the foremost motivation for the brothers to begin hunting, ''she's alive for good''. Fans are not only excited for her, but the potential stories she could bring to the table with her sons, their allies, and the modern world in general. The Winchesters' journey have come full circle. |
| 111 | ** Okay, "Devil's Bargain" was a solid episode, though I'm unsure about the Ketch-Winchester alliance...hang on, who is that in Asmodeus' prison...'''''[[EnsembleDarkhorse GABRIEL???!!?!]]''''' |
| 112 | ** Season 13 in general seems to shape up many a reaction from the fanbase for bringing back dead (some for very long) supporting characters. You have Gabriel in the above, but there are also Bobby and Charlie, two much beloved supporting characters brought back by taking advantage of the alternate universe. They are not the same as the originals, of course, but the catharsis is still there. Rowena and Billie are also back after being unceremoniously killed off in the last season, and the fans are even more surprised with the decision in episode 19 to bring back the highly disposable ''[[ArcVillain Naomi]]'', showing that anything really is possible in the series. Also, even if the show's second attempt at a spin-off failed yet again, people are already clamoring for Jody's makeshift Wayward Sisters to return, as their solid set of characters are too good to be left at the wayside. |
| 113 | * ''The Tribe'' was an awesome show, it's such a shame they cancelled it after the cliffhanger that was Season 5...Wait, there'll be a sequel novel that continues the story? YES! There IS a god of bringing back quirky, obscure shows! |
| 114 | ** And now, five words: There will be a movie. To elaborate, it will be written by the director of the original series. The special effects in it will be done by the same company that created ''Lord of the Rings''. And they are planning to release it in 2014. That sound you just heard was the collective squeeing of everyone who has ever asked; 'But where the hell did that boat go?' It is ''happening,'' people. |
| 115 | * The firing of Creator/DanHarmon and the ensuing hiatus had ''Series/{{Community}}'' fans worried about Season 4. However let the fans rejoice by saying. '''COMMUNITY IS BACK AND IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS EVER!''' |
| 116 | ** Creator/DanHarmon '''''IS COMING BACK'''''! |
| 117 | ** Creator/NathanFillion is going to in Season 5! |
| 118 | * Creator/DisneyChannel pulling a "Creator/NickRewind" on Wednesday midnights... [[https://twitter.com/DisneyChannelPR/status/324611974501638145 We kid you not.]] Not to mention it was also right timing since it's the channel's 30th Anniversary. (Even though it's one show for a whole hour though, but who cares? It's the nostalgia that's important!) |
| 119 | ** And the 1st show aired that night? ''Series/EvenStevens''! Cue the big THANK YOU from oldschool Disney Channel viewers and fans. |
| 120 | * Shame the ''Series/TwentyFour'' movie apparently is never going to get made... looks like we'll never get to see what happens to Jack Bauer after the series ende--- wait, what's this? [[http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2013/05/11/24_returning_to_tv_for_a_limited_run A potential revival of it as a 12-episode limited series]]? OH YES, YES, YES! |
| 121 | ** It's potential no more: [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/13/24-revival-confirmed Jack Bauer returns in 2014]]! |
| 122 | ** Creator/StephenFry will be in "Live Another Day!" |
| 123 | * ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' is returning! Wayne, Colin, Ryan, Laura, and Linda are all going to be coming back!! [[{{Squee}} Yes!!]] |
| 124 | ** Fans were a little miffed most of the fourth chairs didn't appear in Season 1 (except Jeff Davis), but Creator/GregProops showed up in season 2, they got excited. |
| 125 | ** Brad's returning too! |
| 126 | * To celebrate the 4th of July in 2013, MTV did a marathon of '''''music videos''''' all day. |
| 127 | * [[http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Batman-DVDs-Planned/19353 After all these years]], ''Series/Batman1966'' is '''finally''' being released on DVD! |
| 128 | * After '''''22 years''''', ''Series/WinLoseOrDraw'' returns to Creator/DisneyChannel!! |
| 129 | * Fans of Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 were thrilled when Podcast/RiffTrax and WebVideo/CinematicTitanic were created. Between the two shows, every cast member who ever played a main character during any season of the show is back in business riffing cheesy movies. Some fans still miss the robots. |
| 130 | ** Oh it gets better...[[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mst3k/bringbackmst3k THERE'S A KICKSTARTER TO BRING THE SHOW BACK!!!!]] Started by Joel himself! |
| 131 | *** Season 11 of the resultant revival did well enough that Netflix greenlit Season 12. And though it's only six episodes instead of 14 this time (so it can be of consistently higher quality), the targeted movies include Creator/TheAsylum's ripoff of ''Film/PacificRim'', the ''original'' Ator movie for ''Cave Dwellers'' fans, and -- and this REALLY made the fans rejoice -- ''Film/MacAndMe''! |
| 132 | * NHK World's added on AT&T U-verse TV this around February 2014? That's really awesome!!!! |
| 133 | ** Oh, it's HD only then. |
| 134 | * ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' is getting a third season! This also gives a lot of reason for Creator/BryanFuller fans to celebrate, since this marks the first show he's created to receive more than two seasons! |
| 135 | * So ''Series/{{Community}}'' has been cancelled before the #sixseasonsandamovie promise, the fandom is depressed and gloomy... Until '''YAHOO SCREEN FINANCES A SIXTH SEASON!''' WITH DAN HARMON! Now all we need is a movie... |
| 136 | ** But it won't be the same without [[Music/ChildishGambino Donald]] or Yvette...WAIT IS THAT KEITH DAVID?!! |
| 137 | * Fans of 2006-2011-era Creator/DisneyChannel were enthralled at the news that the EnsembleDarkhorse actress from ''Series/HannahMontana'', Creator/EmilyOsment, would star in a new sitcom for Creator/ABCFamily, ''Series/YoungAndHungry'', co-executive produced by Music/AshleyTisdale. More excitement happened when Tisdale posted a picture on Website/{{Twitter}} while its first episodes were being filmed standing next to Phill Lewis, a/k/a [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Mr. Moseby]] [[note]]Lewis previously appeared in the Disney Channel Original Movie ''Dadnapped'' with Osment[[/note]], on set, with news that he would be directing episodes, and still more good news when Tisdale made a [[CreatorCameo special guest appearance]] on a Y&H episode. |
| 138 | * Creator/SamRaimi is working on an ''Franchise/EvilDead'' TV series? ''And Creator/BruceCampbell is returning as Ash?!'' And Lucy Lawless is co-starring? And it's going to be just as ridiculous, snarky, over-the-top, and bloody as ever? '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unnLg1TPCYM Groovy]]'''. |
| 139 | * Well, after the financial failure of ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'', it looks like the end of Muppets once and for all... Wait! Creator/{{ABC}} IS DOING A NEW MUPPET SERIES''? And the pilot is being written by the producer and the co-creator of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''?[[note]]not coincidentally, Bill Prady had already worked with the Muppets several times before.[[/note]] |
| 140 | ** Remember in the first quarter of spring 2015 when ABC was working on a pilot for a mockumentary-style revival of ''Series/TheMuppetShow''? Well, not only was it well-received, but as of May [[http://www.toughpigs.com/its-official-were-getting-a-new-muppet-show/ it's going to series!!!]] Expect ''Series/{{The Muppets|2015}}'' to show up during the 2015-16 TV season. |
| 141 | ** Now it's officially been confirmed for fall 2015, Tuesdays at 8/7c! And there's a [[http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2391650329/ trailer]] out already! Since then a concrete date for the premiere (September 22) was announced. |
| 142 | ** Well it's official now. [[https://deadline.com/2019/08/muppets-now-short-form-series-disney-plus-1202703195/ A new Muppets short-form series]] has been confirmed for Creator/DisneyPlus. Suffice to say rumors had been spreading for a few years now, but it does mean we're ''finally'' going to get new Muppets content.[[note]]This doesn't include [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies2018 the Muppet Babies reboot]] or any social media content.[[/note]] |
| 143 | * It really sucks that Creator/TomBergeron is leaving ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'', and I bet whoever they hire is gonna be nowhere near as goo-- wait, WHAT? '''''[[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir CARLTON]]''''' '''''[[http://youtu.be/BV4dYc3YG4E IS THE NEW HOST?!]]''''' YES!!! *starts blasting "It's Not Unusual" and doing the Carlton Dance* |
| 144 | * ''Series/{{Sisters}}'' is [[http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2015/06/himym-moves-to-tv-land-on-june-29-90s.html finally coming to DVD]]! |
| 145 | * ''Series/TheColbertReport'' is ending?? What?? You can't take away half of the funniest, sharpest political satire on American television!!! What do you ''mean'' the ''Report'' is end-- wait. It's ending because ''Creator/StephenColbert is '''taking over for Creator/DavidLetterman on'' The Late Show??''' THERE IS A GOD!!! |
| 146 | * ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' Wait, someone took the first letters of each episode of Season 2 and rearranged them- FRING'S BACK?!?!?! AS IN GUS FRING?!?!?! GUS FRING WROTE THE NOTE?!?!?! HOLY SHIT, THE CREATORS HAVE CONFIRMED THE ANAGRAM IS INTENTIONAL!!!! GUS FRING'S RETURNING IN SEASON 3!!!! IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!!]] |
| 147 | * Fans of ''Theatre/TheWiz'' found [[WaxingLyrical a reason to rejoice]] for Creator/{{NBC}}'s live adaptation after learning that Stephanie Mills, who originated the role of Dorothy Gale on Broadway[[note]]but got shafted from [[Film/TheWiz the movie]] after Diana Ross campaigned for her part...[[/note]], would do some {{Remake Cameo}}s as Aunt Em. |
| 148 | ** Viewers who lamented NBC casting the lead characters of their previous musicals out of StuntCasting or {{Nepotism}} found relief when NBC announced an open casting call for Dorothy Gale - asking for an African-American female performer between the ages of 18 and 27, ensuring that Dorothy's actress would come closer to Mills' age during the original Broadway run (18) than Diana Ross did when she starred in the movie (at age 33). |
| 149 | *** NBC ended up picking Shanice Williams, a then-19-year old actress with more experience in community theater than TV. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JmKpjK6_44 This video]] of her singing "Home" with Stephanie Mills gave some people assurance, even before watching the special, that she would make a great Dorothy. |
| 150 | ** NBC buoying the rest of the cast with such highly-regarded African-American actors, singers, and actors/singers as Creator/DavidAlanGrier, Music/QueenLatifah, and [[Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack Uzo Aduba]] also helped lend the production some credibility. |
| 151 | * Excuse me, Creator/TheBBC, but are you feeling alright? I thought you just mentioned ''Series/RobotWars''. [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2016/robot-wars-returns You did?]] [[UnCancelled It's coming back?!]] |
| 152 | ** So Creator/CraigCharles isn't able to come back. That's a pity...but wait, Creator/DaraOBriain will be hosting the new series? And original commentator [[LargeHam Jonathan]] [[TheHyena Pearce]] will be back?! '''YES!''' |
| 153 | * After 8 years, ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' is returning, to be produced by Amy and Dan Palladino with most of the original cast. |
| 154 | * Many, many fans were alienated when the producer of ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}'' laid off the build team in the penultimate season of the show in 2014. In late 2016, Grant, Tory and Kari officially announced that they have been roped back by the producer of Mythbusters for their own show, ''Series/WhiteRabbitProject'', which was commissioned by Creator/{{Netflix}} and will be officially available in December 2016. Cue the delighted squee of the fans of the build team. |
| 155 | * Quite a shame that the ''{{Series/Titans|2018}}'' series that TNT was planning won't be happenin... wait what? DC ''is'' making that series? Dick Grayson ''will'' feature in it? Architect of the Arrowverse Greg Berlanti will help make it? Pardon me for a moment. (Cue massive SQUEEE!) |
| 156 | * ''[[Series/WillAndGrace WILL & GRACE]] HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR A NINTH SEASON! THE CAST ARE REPRISING THEIR ROLES! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!'' |
| 157 | * After several subtle hints, Lionel Lutor, Clark and Lex being former best friends, with the mention of CanonForeigner Chloe and her Wall of Weird, the chances of ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'' sharing the same mythology of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', and the chance that ''Smallville'' could be set on an alternate Earth in the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'', isn't too hard to believe. The participation of Creator/EricaDurance and Creator/SamWitwer kept many people on board. |
| 158 | * The ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' [[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiPoJH85NXYAhUh0oMKHYuFC_cQtwIIJzAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTGsfpJzgVKA&usg=AOvVaw3LiZZiTc_0ZcwFVJVFHPpn Suit Up trailer]] is pretty fun but it doesn't inclu.. wait is CW saying that we just might get ''Series/BlackLightning2018'' as part of the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}''. |
| 159 | * ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' is confirmed to be renewed for Season 4? Good news, although not too surprising as it's been a hit show for the CW. '''[[Series/{{Constantine}} John Constantine]]''' will be a cast regular cast member for the fourth season, with Creator/MattRyan reprising his role again? Time to celebrate! |
| 160 | * Oh, ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy's Toyland Adventures]]'' is finally coming to the US and it's going to be in [[Series/TheNoddyShop another show]] that's an ImportationExpansion of the original series. I don't think it's going to entertaining at a-wait, the show has celebrity cameos by people like Carol Kane, Creator/GilbertGottfried and Creator/BettyWhite? One of the characters is a lobster parody of Creator/JohnnyCarson? The songs are sung to the tunes of famous ones, including two which are spoofs of songs from ''Film/{{Grease}}''? The toys occasionally make pop culture references? This sounds like a very fun show! |
| 161 | * Many fans reacted to this when they found out that ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' was going to be revived, only for their excitement to be cut short after a post on Twitter got her in trouble, only for the excitement to rise again when [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/roseanne-spinoff-conners-officially-a-go-at-abc-1117397 a spin-off]] called ''The Conners'' was announced around the same time. |
| 162 | * Fans got very excited for ''Series/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina'' when they heard that Kiernan Shipka - of ''Series/MadMen'', ''{{Series/Feud}}'' and ''Film/FlowersInTheAttic'' fame was cast in the lead role. Many even noted her resemblance to Creator/MelissaJoanHart - who played Sabrina in the [[Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch 90s sitcom]]. |
| 163 | * ''Series/Elseworlds2018'' had quite a few moments that made the fans cheer: |
| 164 | ** When going to Earth-38 to recruit Supergirl what do we hear? "Somebody saaaaaaaaaaave meeeeeeee..." That's right the theme song for the original CW superhero show is used for the first time on a very long while. |
| 165 | ** ''Creator/JohnWesleyShipp'' makes a return for the crossover but as who? Jay Garrick? Henry Allen? Nope he returns as the original 90's series Barry Allen Flash! |
| 166 | ** Speaking of the 90's Flash, what does he have to say to John Diggle from ''Series/{{Arrow}}''? "[[Franchise/GreenLantern You're not wearing your ring.]]" Cue cheers from everyone praying for the long held theory of Diggle one day becoming a Green Lantern being true. |
| 167 | ** The very final shot has the Psycho Pirate saying "Worlds will live. Worlds will die. And the universe will never be the same." Nooooo. The CW has already given us so much, they couldn't possibly be implying..."Coming Fall 2019. Crisis On Infinite Earths." Oh yes they would! |
| 168 | * ''Series/AndiMack'' has evoked a lot of these reactions with its groundbreaking LGBT storyline (Cyrus looked back! Cyrus came out!!! ''TJ looked back!?!''). But none have brought as much joy as '''''Cyrus Goodman saying the word gay for the first time ever on Disney Channel!''''' |
| 169 | * Think CW announcing ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' was great? You ain't seen nothing yet! |
| 170 | ** Brandon Routh was confirmed to be playing a version of Superman once more but not just any version. He showed up at SDCC 2019 wearing a Superman shirt... with the symbol belonging to the version from ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''! |
| 171 | ** Know how the "Suit Up" trailer hinted at ''Series/BlackLightning2018'' possibly joining the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}''? Well that came full circle as it was confirmed characters from the show would have a role in the event. |
| 172 | ** Bruce Wayne has a role here! Well a version of him anyways. Who plays him? Oh just the one and only ''Creator/KevinConroy''! That's right, ''the'' iconic voice of Batman will be playing him in live action! |
| 173 | ** Want to know just how far the creators have gone with superheroic additions to the event? They managed to get ''Creator/BurtWard'' to sign up for it. An iconic actor from one of the most iconic live action superhero series to join a live action adaptation of one of the most iconic comic book events ever! |
| 174 | ** Perhaps the greatest announcement was that one of the main actors from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' would be reprising their role for the event. Who are they? ''Tom Welling as Clark Kent''! That's right, they got the lead actor of the show that made ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'s'' existence possible to return and reprise the role of Superman. Not only are they giving fans something they have longed for since the inception of the Series/{{Arrowverse}} but they are giving even more as it's also confirmed that Erica Durance is reprising her role as Lois Lane. And it has been confirmed that this will be in continuity for ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' with the event following up on their lives after the show ended. |
| 175 | ** The fourth hour of the event had the Flash introduced to a version of the Flash... played by ''[[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse Ezra Miller!]]'' Nobody could have predicted it, nobody was expecting it, but one of the most wished for interactions between the DC shows and DC movies has actually happened. |
| 176 | ** The final hour of the event shows the restored worlds of the multiverse, which are the settings of shows that don't air on the CW. This leaves it an open possibility to see these shows appear in future events and include ''Series/Titans2018'', ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'', ''Series/SwampThing2019'', ''Series/Stargirl2020'', and what may well be the world of the upcoming Green Lantern series on HBO Max. |
| 177 | ** By the end of the event the worlds of ''Series/Supergirl2015'' and ''Series/BlackLightning2018'' have been merged with Earth-1 to create a new Earth-Prime. Exciting enough by itself but then it shows the assembled heroes of this new Earth sitting at a round table with each chair having their personal symbol. That's right the Arrowverse has finally brought together the world's finest to create the Justice League! |
| 178 | *** Even better? The ending has the heroes hear monkey sounds before showing a crate with the name [[ComicBook/WonderTwins Gleek]] on it. As this happens the theme song of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' cartoon plays, with the very final shot showing that the heroes are meeting in the Hall of Justice! |
| 179 | * ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' |
| 180 | ** British fans of the series had been clamoring for a [[ForeignRemake UK version]] for years, complete with speculation over who should host it and who would make it on as contestants. It was first announced in 2014 but languished in DevelopmentHell for four years. Then in 2018, it was announced that not only was the first season of ''Drag Race UK'' finally in production, but it would be hosted by [=RuPaul=] himself, making it the first ForeignRemake of ''Drag Race'' to have his direct involvement. Once the season was underway, the rejoicing continued, as fans were happy to see it showcase British culture rather than emulating American drag. |
| 181 | ** Any time a queen has a substantial fanbase ''before'' competing on ''Drag Race'', there is much rejoicing when she announced as being part of the cast. Courtney Act, Derrick Berry, Mayhem Miller, Nina West, and several others were big names in drag culture long before appearing on the show. |
| 182 | * With ''Series/Runaways2017'' on Hulu and ''Series/CloakAndDagger2018'' on Freeform, any hopes of the much-loved crossover from the comics appearing on TV were seemingly dashed...until an announcement out of nowhere in 2019 that Cloak and Dagger would be appearing in an episode of Runaways' third season. |
| 183 | * ''Series/TheWarOfTheWorlds2019'': Another adaptation of HG. Well's famous novel. Except this time, rather than update the story to the present day, it will finally be set in the original era. |
| 184 | * ''Series/TheMandalorian'': In March of 2020, it was announced that Rosario Dawson was joining the cast of ''The Mandalorian'' as [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Ahsoka Tano]], former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker before his fall to the Dark Side, and one of the few people to survive a one-on-one fight with Darth Vader himself. Fans were screaming from the very joy of the news. |
| 185 | * So, after all these years of dreams and waiting, not only is the coolest bounty hunter in ''Star Wars'' history back but [[Series/TheBookOfBobaFett getting his own show?!]] |
| 186 | * January 7, 2016 will forever go down in history as a national day of celebration for ''Series/TeenWolf'' fans, as it was the day it was announced Crystal Reed (Allison Argent) would be returning to the series for a one-off appearance. |
| 187 | * Hmmm...these recent times are very tough to get through with everything closed, and it's getting pretty boring watching the offerings of most streaming services. Let's see if Apple TV Plus has anything interes-[[https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/fraggle-rock-reboot-apple-1234585899/ HOLD THE PHONE, WHAT'S THIS?]] ''[[Series/FraggleRock Fraggle Rock: Rock On!]]''? Now we can dance our cares away once more! |
| 188 | * Man, it sucks that [=PBS=] has lost the rights to many of [=HiT=] Entertainment's shows. I can't belie- wait, Universal Kids added ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' to the schedule? THIS IS GOING TO BE SUPER-DEE-DUPER! |
| 189 | * I still can't believe ABC cancelled ''Series/AllMyChildren''. It has been Nine years, and no other Soap has been able to take its place, not even the attempted 2013 revival. Well time to surf ''(insert social media platform here)''. Wait a tick of the clock...what's this article say? Creator/KellyRipa and Creator/MarkConsuelos are producing a new Prime Time version!?! And hallowed and visionary creator Agnes Nixon's son will also be involved!?! AND THE [[DemotedToExtra KANES]] AND [[OutOfFocus SANTOS]] FAMILIES WILL BE BACK IN THE CENTER OF ALL THE DRAMA!?! '''AWWW YEAH!!!''' |
| 190 | * I miss ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', the whole series isn't even on DVD. Wait, what's this? IT'S COMING TO Creator/DisneyPlus in February 2021?? CUE THE KERMIT "YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!" |
| 191 | * So season 2 of ''Series/{{Batwoman|2019}} was better than expected. I wonder who the next villain will be. It's gonna be Poison Ivy? AND SHE's BEING PLAYED BY Creator/BridgetRegan? SHE GETS TO PLAY AS [[Series/AgentCarter ANO]][[Series/JaneTheVirgin THER]] SAPPHIC VILLAIN?! Sign me up! |
| 192 | * After original series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante [=DiMartino=] [[https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/12/21365329/avatar-last-airbender-netflix-live-action-michael-dante-dimartino-bryan-konietzko-departure left the live-action]] ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' adaptation citing creative differences, several fans lost faith in the project altogether. However, longtime fancast Paul Sun-Hyung Lee being [[https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1460655183315279872 chosen]] to play Uncle Iroh was met with almost-unanimous praise, even enough to turn some around on the series. |
| 193 | * ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' is good and all, but it would be cool if there was a ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' spin-off that was similar in tone to the original show...wait a minute, what's this ''Series/DonkeyHodie'' thing? A puppet-based spin-off of ''Mister Rogers'' featuring several Creator/MuppetPerformers created by the people who made ''Series/JacksBigMusicShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/NatureCat''? That sounds pretty cool! |
| 194 | ** The show is great so far, but I'd love it if more characters from ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'' made appearances. Wait a minute, did they just say that King Friday the 13th will make an appearance in in "The Royal Hosts"? Wow! |
| 195 | *** So [[https://current.org/2022/10/how-donkey-hodie-is-bringing-mister-rogers-magical-trolley-to-life/ an article]] about the upcoming second season of ''Donkey Hodie'' was released. What do they have planned for us-wait a minute, Trolley is going to make an appearance? Woah! |
| 196 | ** It's nice that a deal for books was inked before the show began, but other merchandise would be nice...wait a minute, we're getting [[https://www.fredrogers.org/2021/11/09/frp-signs-jada-toys-as-master-toy-licensee-for-donkey-hodie/ toys]], [[https://donkeyhodie.shop.pbskids.org/?cid=6234be2a38e54 various print-on-demand merchandise]] and [[https://www.animationxpress.com/animation/fred-rogers-productions-partners-with-warner-music-group-for-donkey-hodie-debut-album/ a music album]] for the show? Hee-hawesome! |
| 197 | * Well, it seems like Creator/PBSKids [[https://twitter.com/itspeeebs/status/1555395573922021381?s=20&t=-Ey4qBdUpAlrY0x48J4Q-Q released their new channel schedule]] to tie into the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/RosiesRules'', and it already seems like a bummer, with five shows leaving for good-wait, did they add ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' to the weekend schedule following the success of ''Donkey Hodie''? What a beautiful day, indeed! |
| 198 | * What will Creator/DisneyPlus add in October? Well, aside from ''Werewolf By Night'', there's nothing of interest or particually special-wait, are those all four seasons of ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' listed? Now that's something to celebrate! |
| 199 | * It's a bummer that Creator/HBOMax pulled ''Series/TheNotTooLateShowWithElmo'' due to budget cuts. It was a really fun show, and it would be great to see any episode besides the two that remained online again...wait a second, PBS Kids got the rights to air the show as a lead-in to their Family Night block on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays beginning in February 2023? There is hope after all! |
| 200 | * Man, it's a shame that U-Tan is leaving ''Series/InaiInaiBaa''. Let's hope the new puppet character is just as...wait a minute, they're voiced by Creator/AyakaSaitou? And they have a family like the second puppet character, Kuu? It might be worth checking out. |
