Human Target

[Jagermeister]

I have become a huge fan of this new series on FOX. It's kick ass and some some really hot chicks in it. That's not why I watch it though.

Indira Varma plays Ilsa Pucci. One of the sexiest characters I have seen in a long time.

If you have not seen it you should. Great show and it always has some kind of hot girl that needs to be rescued by the team. Very entertaining.

[chefcraig]

It's sort of like the A-Team, except you actually see people getting shot. Human Target is a surprisingly violent show for the 8PM hour. And like the A-Team, it's good in a knuckleheaded way.

[Bob_R]

I've seen very little of this show. That being said maybe half an episode. LOL! But, it'll looked pretty darn good.

[chefcraig]

For the nine or ten people worldwide who have managed to follow this show despite FOX's dubious programming attempts, you might be watching the show's final episode if you tune in tonight at 8PM. In yet another act of inexplicable shitheadedness, Fox has moved the show to three different time slots in just over a month, this time bumping an episode of House in order to do so.

[Satan]

Human Target is OK, but I'm actually more worried that they're trying to kill House. It really hasn't been on much this year. And when it is, 13 hasn't been on, even though she's still listed in the opening credits.

Hell I all but gave up on it now. Damn it was a good show.

USA ran some reruns yesterday (as the channel always does on weekends), and it really showed how far the series has fallen. Featured was the two hour season 6 premier, where House was institutionalized. The episode was everything the show currently isn't: moving, funny, and compellingly watchable. Now, the Cuddy/House situation involving Cuddy's daughter seems to have done the same thing that happens every time a kid is introduced into the mix, in that it destroys whatever dynamic between the characters existed. Wilson seems to be written as an afterthought, and the attempt to make the despicable, cheating Talb a sympathetic character is pure horseshit. The hyper ethical, do-goody Amber Tamblyn character is more a pain in the ass than anything else, and as you pointed out is hardly a substitute for the more complex Olivia Wilde/13.

With Lie To Me reportedly on life support, FOX may be throwing away three of it's best shows. Arguably, only House has ushered it's own demise, through a resounding lack of quality and misguided writing.

[Satan]

Funny thing about "Lie to Me" was that it wasn't even supposed to be on the air until late spring anyway. Fox had to throw it on the air when they canceled the series "LoneStar" after just two episodes. Maybe it's just a Devil's perspective, but I actually thought a show about a bigamist con man had potential.

And yes, Amber Tamblyn is no substitute for 13. If she wanted to play a doctor, she should have stayed on General Hospital. I actually thought she was better as a cop last year on that ABC show that was on for such a short time that I forgot its name.

The Lie To Me deal was ridiculous. FOX aired the season finale, ran a commercial saying the show would return in several months, then about a week later, it was back.

The forgettable cop show was called The Unusuals, which replaced the (by comparison) iconic and far superior Life On Mars. How/why a show with Harvey Keitel, Michael Imperioli, and Gretchen Mol wouldn't be given more time to develop an audience by ABC is beyond me.

[Satan]

Of course then ABC gave Imperioli another cop show, and now you're supposed to pretend he sounds like he's from Detroit. Even though he still has the same Jersey accent that he had on The Sopranos.

[chefcraig]

Sort of like when Dennis Farina joined "Law & Order". The writers created a Chicago back story for him that made little if any sense, in an attempt to cover the accent angle. This lead to him wearing clothing no cop could afford and having an absurd amount of large bill cash in his money clip. Interestingly enough, it was during this period Imperioli started showing up on the show as a guest star.

I dig Human Target. I like how every crook knows who Guerrero is and is scared shitless of him.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

so is this basically "burn notice" II?

Yeah. It's a great show. Well written, hot chicks that can act and guns and bad guys and shit. WTF else could one want?

[Jagermeister]

While you are wasting time at work click the link in the first post and watch an episode.

[Jagermeister]

Hate to derail my own thread but does anyone have any interest in a Richard Pryor thread?

[Satan]

so is this basically "burn notice" II?

Yeah, there are some similarities, I guess. Burn Notice is better though. Which proves how fucked in the head the thinking was in the corporate offices of "NBC Universal" even before the Comca$t takeover. They put all their good shows like "Burn Notice", "White Collar", and "Royal Pains" on the bastard stepchild cable networks and fill the NBC network channel up with "reality" crap.

[Nitro Express]

Janet Montgomery looks to be a fine human target for my dick.

[chefcraig]

Looks like another episode is coming this Wednesday, February 2.

Meanwhile, back in the House camp........

Will Season 8 Of “House” Air On Fox Or NBC?
By Magali Levet

Who can imagine a world without House or a least without a home? So far, the situation is a bit complicated for the outside eye but it’s nothing that has never been seen before in studio business. Basically, NBC produces House and FOX broadcasts House. Their deal will come to expiration when season seven ends and what’s left up in the air is whether they will continue with this agreement or if both parties will want to change the terms. In other words, will NBC agree to keep supporting the production costs and let House air on FOX or will they want more out of the negotiations? The peacock might also want to put House on their schedule considering its recent lack of original programs and ratings struggle. Furthermore, is FOX ready to bring more to the table to keep beloved House and avoid a move or would it decide to make it an in-house show and pick up the production fees?

What’s unfortunate in this situation is that House is not a shiny new show and it’s expensive. It doesn’t pull in the kind of ratings and shares that it used to after being on the air for seven years. Yet, it still does quite well and holds its own each Monday. Currently above the 10 million viewers mark with very decent numbers on the demo coveted by FOX, it provides the network with solid add revenues. Moreover, the buzz around the show is ever so present in the Medias coverage, with the fandom’s dedication and with the recent storyline. House remains the most watched show worldwide far from ready to wish farewell.

Luckily, the good news is leading man and indispensable star of the hit medical drama, Hugh Laurie, is already signed on for an additional season. But the rest of the cast is still awaiting details about their contracts’ fate. I can hardly imagine the show without Laurie’s valuable series regular costars Lisa Edelstein (boss/girlfriend Lisa Cuddy) or Robert Sean Leonard (best friend James Wilson) and no team to bounce of ideas to help him diagnoses his patients. This goes for Omar Epps (Foreman), Jessie Spencer (Chase) and Peter Jacobson (Taub). Olivia Wilde (13) is said to be back next year, and will return before the end of this season around episode 18 “with a very cool storyline” according to creator David Shore who will sadly let go praised newcomer Amber Tamblyn (Masters) respecting her choice.

Finally, what could keep the audience confident about the future is that each major TV players are positive that the show will be back for an eight season giving reassurance for the renewal. Good House call!

Will House find a home on FOX or NBC next season?

I like 'Human Target'... I watched all of Season One but after the Season 2 premiere, I've been letting them build up on the DVR and have just started watching them on Monday.
I don't like the boss lady... her hair makes her look kinda ugly. I bet her vag stinks like vinegar, sweat and rotten lettuce... I hope Chance doesn't bang her. I'm still waiting for Chance's gal that Baptiste 'blew up' on a boat to resurface. Best episode of the series so far was the one that had Lee Majors in it... now that was a bad ass fucker.

Anyway... Fringe > Human Target... I wish Fox would put both shows on Friday Night.

That was a good show.

I watched a bit of it Monday night, and the Russian assassin/spy chick? HOT!!

[Jagermeister]

Great new episodes.

Yeah no shit. They always have the hotties on that show. I'll be pissed if they cancel it.

[indeedido]

I don't understand why it was on Monday and Wednesday. Hard to keep up when it is on. I guess Wednesday is the normal night. Come on already anchor it!

A couple of weeks ago, two episodes were supposed to air on a Wednesday evening. These shows were bumped so FOX could air the memorial for the Arizona shooting victims, and the episodes appeared unannounced the following Friday night. American Idol returned the following Wednesday, causing FOX to move the show yet again. Human Target wound up in House's time slot Monday night, inexplicably followed on Wednesday at it's original time. Supposedly Wednesday is the show's scheduled night, but it could be bumped again if Idol goes into overdrive. At this point, your guess is as good as mine as to if the show will appear when it is supposed to.

And don't get me started on FRINGE...

Do you mean Monday's Kill Bob episode? Her name is Lauren German.

C'mon, dude - that shows a 3rd grade-level imagination; try harder. I mean, at least "Jackoffmeister" is CLEVER...yours, not so much.

Sweet!

[FORD]

And don't get me started on FRINGE...

I suspect Fox moved Fringe to Fridays so they could grab the viewers who were watching Medium in that time slot, until CBS recently canceled it. I'm sure there are a lot of sci-fi/paranormal geeks who already watched both shows, so it's a natural move.

[chefcraig]

Great. FOX has announced it will be airing the season finale of Human Target this evening. Really, how can the show have a season finale when it didn't even have a season in the first place? Even with American Idol as a pregame show, the series dropped off in the ratings last week, so after tonight you might not see it again, other than owning the DVD.

[FORD]

Since they only did 13 episodes (which weren't supposed to air until Spring 2011 anyway) maybe they'll get another short season later on in the year?

If not, they should really give the show a stable time slot and give it a legitimate shot at an audience.

[chefcraig]

The way the show was scheduled was just plain odd. A series of back to back episodes? Why, other than to fill in some holes or merely burn the episodes off altogether? FOX will pull the plug (after one episode) of a failed series, move Lie To Me back on to replace it, move FRINGE to the quagmire of Friday night, but otherwise disable Human Target with bizarrely erratic scheduling. It just doesn't add up.

[Mr Walker]

Everybody watch 'Justified' tonight on FX

I think the arrogance of their news division has spread to the rest of the FOX corporation. They used to be the network that would take chances with a show. It's not like "Married With Children" was an instant hit in the ratings. Or even "The Simpsons". But eventually they caught on, and they got 9 or 10 years out of one of those shows, and the other is still going after 21 years (actually 23 if you count the fact that The Simpsons was really a spin off of the long forgotten Tracey Ullman show.)
