Can The Lying Game and Bunheads survive cancellation? That's the million dollar question we'll soon find out.
With little being said by ABC Family or any real news revealed since their season finales, fans of sophomore drama The Lying Game and freshman comedy Bunheads are still eagerly waiting for news on the future of their shows.
Rumours and reports circulated that ABC Family had been holding off on making a decision until they determined the success of their summer programming, which includes shows like The Fosters and Twisted. An unusual strategy for the network as it's left fans frustrated and the stars unsure of their future prospects.
Well the wait will soon be over. In an interview last month with Celebified, The Lying Game cast member Allie Gonino revealed that we all should be finding out the status of both bubble shows by July 15, 2013. That's only in four days!
The forecast is still mixed but is looking grim for some. Vulture reported that Bunheads' sets were already torn down, the social media accounts left inactive and the show left out of Emmy contention while other ABC Family shows, including The Lying Game, were submitted. The Lying Game, on the other hand, is still active on their online pages and cast contract considerations were offered but anything could happen in the next few days.
Between the two I would love to see The Lying Game come back for another season. The season two finale cliffhanger would be devastating to have the show end with too much up in the air. Unfortunately, we won't (hopefully) find out until July 15th.
Do you think The Lying Game or Bunheads will survive? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Am I drinking the Kool-Aid?
Yes. There's no doubt about it. I've held off on starting my own Tumblr page as I've enjoyed just writing on this blog and managing my own accounts. Seemed like a simpler time ago of just posting and pinning - oh, how yesterday felt!
I've toyed around with the idea and if I decide to do it, I'd probably do fun GIFs I find online. This is still an idea and we'll see if I actually move forward and create one in the end. It would not replace the blog and this website - this site is still my #1 - it would add to the fun.
For those of you who have your own page, is it worth it to create one? I've followed a few sites and there are some that look alright. Might give it a try and share with you all how it goes in a future post.
I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
Big changes are on the horizon for CTV and its sister network CTV Two.
Announced Thursday via two press releases (CTV and CTV Two), the Bell Media channels revealed their new revamped line-ups. The two brand new schedules saw several popular programs switch between the channels, with CTV acquiring more scripted shows while CTV Two retained more established favourites.
On the drama front, new shows heading to CTV will include INTELLIGENCE, Played, Hostages, Believe, The Tomorrow People and the highly anticipated comic book adaptation Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. CTV Two will be adding one brand new drama to its schedule with the historical piece Reign.
CTV's focus is on dramas this year but several new comedies will also be joining the network as well. Mixology, Spun Out, Trophy Wife, The Goldbergs and the return of Kirstie Alley in Kirstie will be the new dramas premiering this fall and midseason. Also revealed is the Canadian adaptation of the popular cooking reality show Masterchef Canada.
Schedule line-ups aren't always about the new shows acquired for the following year, it's also about the network changes. Among the new shows is Person Of Interest which had previously aired on City for the 2012-2013 season. American Idol, which has held its staple on CTV will air primarily on CTV Two midseason while The X Factor holds the spot in the fall.
