Fox’s new agenda is looking a lot like their old one. Confirming some prior reports, the network’s leadership says they are seriously chasing a reboot of The X-Files and are possibly interested in bringing back Prison Break too (along with yet another edition of 24 as well — but that’s another story).
On The X-Files front, Fox chairman and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman say they have been in talks with series creator Chris Carter about reviving the supernatural procedural, which was a major hit for the network from 1993 to 2002. The executives also revealed they hope to have original series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise their roles on the show.
One thing all three titles have in common is they’re properties of 20th Century Fox Television, which Walden and Newman ran prior to adding the Fox broadcast network to their plate last year.
“It’s true that we’ve had some conversations on X-Files,” Newman said. “We’re hopeful of being able to bring that back at some point.”
By MorisEveryone should watch BroadCity.
The whole first season is up on Hulu.
My buddy was talking about how he was obsessed with it and tried watching it at work lol.
By MorisEveryone should watch BroadCity.Just started watching.
The whole first season is up on Hulu.
pretty good.
Also, started watching Madam Secretary.
Its no West Wing, but its pretty close.
By MorisJust noticed you didn't have Better Call Saul in your write up, it's less than a month away.I thought about it,
but then, i thought maybe doing "monthly picks" posts just like the movie thread would be better.
Is there any way to catch up on The Americans? I missed last season but I loved the first.
Also, how come no Justified in the OP? Best show FX has, this is the final season as well. Started last week I believe.

Love that show so much.
Watching Backstrom and its like House without any of the charm and wit. The main character reminds me of Trevor from GTA V.... hopefully it gets better
Also jeez is the main character casually racist.... like he would of fit in with the soprano crew telling racist jokes racist.

Episode 2 of Man Seeking Woman is off to a good start. Still hits too close to home though, but at least it doesn't take itself seriously at all.

That new Daredevil trailer is sooooooooooooo Good.
That looked amazing. Some definite Batman Begins vibe in the cinematography and the shipping containers scene.

I like the show too but I'm nowhere near as big of a fan as she is.

I don't understand he slapped somebody else kid.... the parent files charges.... I am pretty sure he can talk down to a hefty fine in real life and maybe have to at worse pay out the ass again in a civil suit.
Like how do you do a whole show about somebody slapping a kid.
If I was acting a fool like that and my uncle came to me to straighten me out and I kicked him...
My dad woulda popped up like

Although, my favorite part of the trailer is where Zachary Quinto calls the father a "lazy hippy".
lol.
1 more day to "better call saul" guys.... All the reviews have me so hyped.
Also is anyone else here watching broad city? as a guy who grew up in NYC I think its the best portrayal of city life (obviously ramped up for humor) in a comedy show yet. Even Louis while the better show doesn't feel as NY as this show does.

By YamabroPeaky Blinders is pretty good.
It's really good. It's basically Sons of Anarchy in early 20th Century England, albeit significantly leaner and less trashy.
Best show on TV right now is Helix. The amount of fuckery per episode is a sight to behold.
don't really feel like watching better call saul, but i keep hearing good things so i might check it out when the season finishes.
catching up on the americans, almost done season 2. this show is good. dope espionage series about a really fucked up relationship/marriage.

Pls all watch The Americans, the ratings are awful and it's one of the best shows on atm. You will not be disappointed. And I need this to be renewed.
Just watched episode 1 of season 3. Feels a lot more grounded than the end of last season and no real "shock and awe" scenes, which is for the better.
