The Cape- another Supers TV show!

Just saw my first ad for The Cape...looks like it could be fun.

The Cape (2011 TV series)

Yah, I'm definitely going to check it out. I hope it's well-done ... the ad certainly is.

The ads (there are 3 or 4 of them out now) are definitely slick and stylish, but woefully short on actual content. Based on the ads, the show is about a reluctant hero (not sure if he actually has any powers) who has a mentor and a "little person" sidekick with something of an attitude. The ad with the sidekick is probably the best ad of the bunch.

It certainly looks interesting. I'm hoping maybe a show about a single superhero might have a chance to succeed.

A little over a week to go before the show premieres on Sunday, 1/9/11, then repeats the next day before settling into its regular Monday timeslot the following week.

OK, we need to get a dead pool going. How many episodes? I'm in for seven...no, sex...nooo, eight. Eight is my final answer.

 

[Starman]

It's definitely intriguing. I'll check it out.

Well, first things first - the ratings aren't likely to be stellar. I love Chuck, but it's a terrible lead-in show. I'm not expecting the show to get picked up.

My guess is going to be six episodes before a decision is made. They'll want enough lead time to add to the order if it's a hit, but enough sweeps data to justify swift cancellation if necessary.

NBC is a bit of a hard guess though. They badly need some movement, and something to stick. At this point, there's a possibility Chuck could get renewed simply because it retains an audience. So it's difficult to say what NBC will do.

I'm in for seven...no, sex...nooo, eight.

I'm in for sex too... hello Sum... oh, six.

I'd rather go with sex, myself.

As long as it's renewed, I don't care why!

Me neither. It's just that traditional wisdom is that Chuck will get canned because of the ratings. However, for NBC it's not nearly that simple this year, so the traditional wisdom doesn't really hold.
