Jedi Master Entil'zha Big Kahuna Registered: 02/15/00 Posts: 35542 Loc: Space Coast, USA	Here's a bit: Marvel confirmed the news in a statement sent to Wired: “Joss Whedon has signed an exclusive deal with Marvel Studios for film and television through the end of June 2015. As part of that deal, Whedon will write and direct Marvel’s The Avengers 2 as well as help develop a new live-action series for Marvel Television at ABC. He will also contribute creatively to the next phase of Marvel’s cinematic universe.” Not sure how a series will do as a lot of what worked was due to casting. Won't be easy to replicate that with TV salaries. The Jedi Master _________________________ The anteater is wearing the bagel because he's a reindeer princess. -- my 4 yr old daughter

"Heroes" lasted a few seasons but the ratings plummeted after the first season. But there are always exceptions and if ABC can get compelling actors and writers they may pull it off. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

Heroes was different, about the only good attempt since Misfits of Science. Remember Mutant X? X-Men rip off show that was simply horrible. Might be ok if they use existing characters instead of inventing new ones. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

Yeah, that lasted long. Edited by PanzerMeyer (08/08/12 04:21 PM) _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

Raw Kryptonite Beat the Kobayashi Maru Hotshot Registered: 04/04/08 Posts: 9461 Loc: MS	Oh yeah, with the poison darts. Not a very good show. Followed a few years later with the even worse Nightman--but at least it had a Prowler in it. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

Unfortunately the economics of network tv are very different from the economics of cable. Maybe once the whole advertising/rating business model is revamped things will be conducive to making shorter seasons on network tv. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V
