Who greenlights TNT tv shows?

[rcrush]

I just watched 10 min of the first episode of Leverage. Seems like a good idea for a show they are taking on a private security firm or something to help a wounded soldier. But the acting is just horrible.

I saw a commercial for a show called Trust Me. Apparently the premise is a guy goes to work for his best friend at some office. Whoopie!


The only origional TNT show that hasnt sucked so far is The Closer. Even that Holly Hunter show is stupid something about The Shield meets Jesus.

1. I like Leverage

2. Trust Me is about ad executives.

Not saying it's a good idea or a good show. I don't think the concept is that novel...take another channels' successful program and retool the concept by setting it in a different time-period. Oh...that's always a great success. :eyes:

What would you like to see? I think crime drama and medical drama is tapped-out for the time-being.

3. I think all the good ideas for new tv's have been used up.

None of these shows should be allowed to last more than 1 season. I like watching reruns of Law and Order mostly now.

5. Ouch...

as someone recently hired to a (mostly-film) production company as a PA and P/T writer and hoping to conceptualize new films and cable series, I do hope you're wrong.

Given, I have a few ideas but I think I might be too iconoclastic for a newbie to the industry. The stale old thinking prevails.

I too like my L&O reruns. Very little on TV worth watching now-a-days...even good programming (Pushing Daisies was genius but it didn't generate ratings sufficient to justify its' cost. I'm hoping for a cable revival.) is being smothered out by scheiss and reality-TV. Low-cost justifies the continued broadcast of both, even as the networks lose total market share because of lack of quality programming.

4. But at least they are better than the shit they put on TBS.

I tried watching House of Payne once and I think I got dumber.

6. It's the same guy that greenlights SciFi channel movies.

And he needs to be stopped.
