Oh, gotta love upfronts.

Yep. I wish it could've done better I really like the muppets.

Agent Carter was also cancelled.

I think the fact that the original muppets was them trying so hard to be a good show and this one kinda made fun of shows - just didn't have the same vibe as the original

Bummer about Agent Carter - I thought it was a fun show

Muppets TV show officially cancelled...

I had high hopes for this but it didn't pan out. It will be interesting to see what happens next with them.

No real surprise there.

Now you want to tell me VR will replace the cinematic movie experience, then there's an argument to be made.

You don't have to sell me. From a few months back.

BUT... digital 4K 3D played through Hololens or VR is something different. If you haven't tried it... stop by and try a Samsung VR ... ask them to play a movie. And then realize that is 1080P, playing through a phone, with non-optimized video. Then you'll see and understand.

It goes with the kids today don't want TV or cable... they watch Youtube on phones and tablets. Its a more personal experience to them. So, for the next generation, watching a movie, with immersive VR while talking to friends is the holy grail.

That's a bummer. I liked Agent Carter better than Shield. DH said #ThanksShanghai

On the "How much lower can we go front"...

Islands of Adventure closed at 6pm tonight

Tomorrow (yes Friday) IoA AND Universal studios close at 6pm.

Fluke? Nope. Next Friday both close at 6pm.

Wow. I'd be one upset puppy.

I've heard that they actually could take the yeti out without shutting down the ride.

Yup. I've been on Everest before sans Yeti. He was "at the spa" according to the ride CMs.

Are they having grad nights? That's usually the case. They also get rented out quite often as well.

I'm sure there are reasons.

Only cared about Agent Carter, but now that Castle has been canceled maybe Nathan Fillion can be in an Uncharted adaptation.

I knew Galavant had no shot at coming but but still, I loved it and wish it could find a home

So sad about the Muppets! Very nervous about how this will affect the Muppet Courtyard at DHS.

I think Nashville is a surprise too but it's been getting weird and not as good as of late at least in my opinion. I never got into any of those other shows.

I ink that's safe for now I'm interested to see how this affects or if it affects the rumored muppets restaurants.
