Thanks for opening!

Oh, Anna - House has been renewed for a eight season of at least 18 episodes, but I haven't fully understood what happened with the actors' contracts, yet.

[~ayumi~]

Thanks for the title

I read that Robert Sean Leonard signed for season 8 (he was supposed to leave the show at the end of season 7). And that sucks, because it means that I'll have to watch it and me and a friend decided not to watch House next season if if Wilson was not in the show, and now we'll have to watch it I guess they offered him a lot of money, because he was not supposed to be in season 8.

[Hawthorn]

I saw the interview where he expressed his doubts about the commitment to the show, and I read today that he's the only one who may be keeping the same salary, while Omar and Lisa will likely have pay cuts.
I understand TPTB wanting to keep Wilson at all costs considering how his relationship with House is one of the pillars of the show, but it sucks for Omar and Lisa to get the short end of the stick.

P.S. I'm off to eat something, see you in a little while if you'll be still online.

I didn't know that! That's not fair for them! Yeah, without Wilson, House would be so different, I can't imagine the show without him. Him and House's relationship is one of the best things about the show.

Did you catch up? I can't bring myself to watch it, this season is so boring. I'm not liking the new girl, I hate Taub and I never liked Foreman or Chase. I think the last episode I saw was 7x13. That's why when we read that Robert Sean Leonard was not coming back next season, me and my friend decided to stop watching And I still haven't reached the part where Huddy break up

P.S. I'm off to eat something, see you in a little while if you'll be still online.

Ok Buon appetito

TFTNT!
title accurate

Oh! NBC submissions they chose well the Parks&Rec episodes, I think. Flu Season and Harvest Festival are two of my favorites this season, but we still have 4 more episodes to watch...
and I don't like much one of the Community episodes. And I can't remember 30 Rock's or Parenthood's very much

So Rob Lowe is running for Lead Actor. What is his problem??? Doesn't he know that the supporting category exists? He would be like the 4th guy on the show I would consider lead

The only new thing I've watched is the first part of the Community finale because of Josh guest starring in it.

Did you like it? I wish it wasn't so focused on Annie but I really liked it

I completely understand them wanting to keep RSL around, but Lisa Edelstein's screentime has increased a lot in later seasons, and from the little BTS stuff I check about the show, she's very much involved with the promotion of the series, way more than Robert.
Sure, between the two Lisa's character is more "expendable" than Wilson, no doubt, but considering next year is very likely the last season, these kind of differences of contract feel like a bit of a slap in the face.

I haven't caught up yet, I've been mostly reading spoilers and I haven't had much time lately, but I've also been a bit of a chicken - I'm waiting to read what happens in the season finale to decide whether jump back into the show, or just keep ignoring it to save the good memories I have of it.

I used to like both Foreman and Chase, but lately I slipped into indifference about both characters. Honestly, I haven't understood yet what their intensions with the whole "ducklings shake up" some seasons ago were.

Buon appetito

Grazie!
Not only I had to put something together for my dinner, I had to cook some stuff in advance for tomorrow's lunch. Oh joy.

ETA - I haven't checked any episode submission yet! Gotta do that.

I really liked it, too. I love Annie and I was happy she was written in a more mature way so I didn't mind seeing the story from her POV, but I understand people saying the finale should've been more group-centric. I guess that's in store for the second part.
I also liked how they didn't try to copy Modern Warfare.
I was super nervous about Josh's "debut" on a TV comedy (before this he had only been in a comedy movie and that one was atrocious ) but his Black Rider worked pretty well on screen, pushing all of Jeff's insecurities to the forefront.

I liked that too. I really liked Annie on s1 but now I'm sick of her. They overuse her

Yes, I'm glad it's completely different from Modern Warfare and I hope part 2 won't have as much Annie.

Alex, you probably know this, do they submit more episodes or is just one per drama and two per comedy?

ETA:
HBO campaign box is pretty (much nicer than NBC's)

[Hamburgo1001]

Thanks for the new thread. I the title. I find it hilarious.

Thats awesome!

Alex - congrats on the autographs!

Thanks guys.

I remember we discussed what happened to NS on the Desperate Housewives set in the past, but not the details - I don't want to think someone would come up with an accuse of physical violence as "revenge" over being written off a show or being at odds with the showrunner, but I don't know her. What do other people who have worked with them say of her and Marc Cherry? Do any of them have a reputation of being hard to work with?

I wish I could answer those questions, but I haven't followed either one's career closely.

Originally Posted by DandaLaFleurMC (View Post) Alex, you probably know that, do they submit more episodes or is just one per drama and two per comedy?

It's 2 episodes per drama as well. I don't know why they have only 1 on the DVDs. Maybe it's due to time constraints.

Here's the list for the Warner Bros. produced shows:

Better with You ("Pilot" & TBA) The Big Bang Theory ("Justice League Recombination" & Herb Garden Germination") Chuck ("Chuck vs. the First Fight" & "Chuck vs. Phase Three") Fringe ("Entrada" & "Marionette") Gossip Girl ("Belles de Jour" & "Double Identity") Harry's Law ("The Innocent Man" & "A Day in the Life") Human Target ("The Trouble with Harry" & "Marshall Pucci") The Mentalist ("Red Moon" & "Red Queen") The Middle ("Taking Back the House" & "The Big Chill") Mike & Molly ("Molly Gets a Hat" & "Jim Won't Eat") Nikita ("Pilot" & "All the Way") One Tree Hill ("I Can't See You" & "Darkness on the Edge of Town") Pretty Little Liars ("Pilot" & "For Whom the Bells Toll") xxxx My Dad Says ("Truth About Dads & Moms" & "Lock & Load") Smallville ("Homecoming" & "Abandoned") Supernatural ("The French Mistake" & TBA) Two and a Half Men (none) V ("Siege" & "Mother's Day") The Vampire Diaries ("Plan B" & "Masquerade") Source

WB is wasting a lot of money submitting many of those shows IMO. V, Chuck, Human Target, Pretty Little Liars, Sht My Dad Says and all the CW shows in particular.

Yeah, maybe. Weird

Agreed. And I think there are better Fringe episodes though maybe they wouldn't fit the Emmys because you have to know a lot about the show.
Is AMC's shows episodes out yet? I wonder what they chose for Mad Men

I'm pissed at Rob Lowe's submission. This so much

[Hawthorn]

I really love everyone on that show so I just take any amount of them.
Even Pierce, or Britta (I had a very hard time connecting to her, but I've overcome that), Community is basically my happy place in TV land. Not to say it's a perfect show, but I just like the cast and everyone's performances so much that I can't complain.
I wish Dan Harmon tried less hard to make "special" episodes though, and went back to the more minimalistic style of S1. I love the meta on this show, but this season they're overdoing it.

And okay, seeing Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill submit episodes for the awards kind of make me understand why V and others would do that, too.

Never watched a single second of ******* My Dad Says. Is it as bad as one would assume?

[poehler-bear]

Same

S1 was perfect. I loved everybody, nobody annoyed me, pretty much every episode made me happy. But s2 has been a let down and I'm glad I'm not alone (i love tumblr ). It focuses too much on romance too, whether it was Jeff/Annie or Jeff/Britta or even the weird Britta/Troy episode (and it really made me uncomfortable that they used molestation as a joke). I just want it to go back to the group, y'know?

[~ayumi~]

WB submits episodes of the CW shows for the Emmys??? That's a waste of money

Where can I find HBO's Emmy submissions guys?

I agree. And I would have never said Robert would get paid more than Lisa, because she has a lot more screentime than him this season.

That's a wise decision I never read spoilers for House but thank you for telling me about Huddy when the break up happened, because at least I am prepared now

I used to like both Foreman and Chase, but lately I slipped into indifference about both characters. Honestly, I haven't understood yet what their intensions with the whole "ducklings shake up" some seasons ago were.

I always felt indifferent towards them. I liked the "duckings shake up" thing, but only because we got Amber. The only duckling I ever liked (I didn't like Cameron or 13 either ) I must be the only one who liked Amber though

Grazie! Not only I had to put something together for my dinner, I had to cook some stuff in advance for tomorrow's lunch. Oh joy.

I had to cook my dinner too.

Not that I know of. I haven't found a list yet.

I never watched it, but from what I've heard, it's a terrible show.
