What a shocker another NBC show flopps without even primiering, sad:
Stuart Levine of Variety reports that with one of the main characters pregnant and the showrunner asking to leave the show, that romantic comedy Love Bites, originally scheduled for 10pm Thursdays on NBC, has been replaced by 13 weeks of “original” The Apprentice. It seems now that Love Bites will follow The Apprentice.
We knew that both “original” and “celebrity” Apprentice would be back next season, but they didn’t until today have any announced schedule. No word yet from the Donald on his always ready ability to step into the breach.
ABC sucks yet again and Love Bites now won't have a chance for survival after being pushed to midseason and oh goody, more Trump on Nothing But Crap. NBC will fail even more now...so much for getting out of 4th place.
SYTYCD ratings this summer are even more pitiful this time around than they were last year. Tonight should be a big viewing night of tv. Wipeout at 8pm followed by the #1 new scripted show of the summer, Rookie Blue! I love me some Gregory Smith. Little Ephram left Everwood for law enforcement.
All the ABC boosters are getting a lot of mileage out of touting the hopelessly mediocre "Rookie Blue" as the "#1 new scripted show of the summer!" Enjoy it while you can; "Covert Affairs" debuts on July 13th.
My argument is with Howie (and the other judges too). What warp sense of judgement do you have not to recognize talent. What fairness in judgement can you quantify your decisions. Do you have the mind of a 3 year old? You pick obvious no-talent, immature acts that everyone, other than yourself, saw through over real dedicated training. Shame on you Pierce, I thought more of you. You have truly earned the title of unfair, irrational, pathetic individuals.
Come on... how hard would it be for you to be fair? Grow up. America’s got talent, Judges have to grow up.
Lots of AGT viewers saw no talent get advanced tonight. The judges are either incapable of judging musical talent or are intimidated by real, live musical talent. It's obvious they aren't qualified to evaluate certain talents. And it's hilarious when Piers says to a singer, "You don't have the talent to move on," but gives an air band a pass. Priceless!!
they have made good decisions such as the guitar singers but others...
first of all, it is totally unfair that the comic magician made it and the other professional one(michael grasso) didn´t make it. BAD DECISION!!
I understand of magic and for me without any doubt could be easily one of the best magicians in America.
Secondly, why Carlos Aponte don´t go to hollywood? horrible decision!!!
