Gotham renewed for season 2 by FOX
2015-01-18 by thepoperopeGothamdiscuss
FOX has renewed hit drama series GOTHAM for a second season, it was announced today by Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs, Fox Television Group.

In the next all-new episode of GOTHAM, "What The Little Bird Told Him," airing Monday, Jan. 19 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, in an attempt to get his job back, Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) seeks to capture Jack Gruber (guest star Christopher Heyerdahl), a deranged electrical genius who escapes Arkham Asylum. Meanwhile, Falcone (John Doman) struggles to hold onto his empire after Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) makes her next move.

Averaging a 4.2 rating in Adults 18-49 and 10.6 million viewers, GOTHAM is this season's No. 1 broadcast drama overall among Men 18-49 and Men 18-34. The debut episode, which exploded into Premiere Week with a 6.0/18 rating among Adults 18-49, outperformed "The Blacklist" and "Scorpion" and delivered FOX's highest-rated fall drama debut in 14 years. This Live +7 rating reflects the largest post-three-day ratings gain (+0.9) of any broadcast drama, ever.

GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller ("The Mentalist," "Rome"), GOTHAM follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering between good and evil, and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time. The series stars Ben McKenzie ("Southland," "The O.C."), Donal Logue ("Vikings," "Sons Of Anarchy"), Jada Pinkett Smith ("Hawthorne," "Collateral") and Robin Lord Taylor ("The Walking Dead").

GOTHAM is based upon the characters from DC Comics and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Executive producer Bruno Heller wrote the pilot, which was directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the "CSI" franchise, "Nikita"). John Stephens serves as an executive producer on the series. "Like" GOTHAM on Facebook at facebook.com/GOTHAMonFOX. Follow the series on Twitter @Gotham and join

Manhattan Love Story canceled after 4 episodes
2014-10-26 by thepoperopeManhattan Love Storydiscuss
ABC has officially cancelled Manhattan Love Story, which becomes the first victim of the fall season.

The network has pulled the plug on the low-rated romantic comedy with immediate effect, replacing it with back-to-back originals of its lead-in Selfie in the Tuesday 8PM slot, following next week's Halloween pre-emption.

The most recent episode pulled a 0.7 among adults 18-49 with 2.6 million viewers.

Manhattan Love Story will take little to no solace from the fact that cancellation axe swung curiously late this fall, five weeks in the season, with networks allowing more time to see how their shows fare. Last season, for example, ABC's Lucky 7 was buried after two episodes.

Manhattan Love Story is not expected to find second life in a new home. No word yet on whether the remaining episodes will ever see the light of day.
