That poster for Being Human US looks weird when you're used to the UK version - is it any good?

I didn't mind it. It echoes rather than replicates the UK series, going its own way in some respects in order to fill the larger episode alotment.

New executive producer, for one thing. What's your beef? Assuming I'm reading your post right.

The few that I've seen are okay. I much prefer the UK series. The writing is tighter and the stories are better. The American series is having to add some fluff to fill in the stories.

Ah. Totally agree. It's interesting to see what Mazzara meant back in the fall when he extolled the importance of horror pacing. It could just be this particular point in the story, but it feels like a whole new show.

Sky Arts announces a whole slew of new shows in development: Of particular note...

  • NIXON’S THE ONE Comedy-drama starring Harry Shearer (This is Spinal Tap, The Simpsons) as Nixon. This is a verbatim account of Nixon’s time in the Oval office, based on more than 198 hours of recordings made between February 1971 and 1973. This brilliant film is a fascinating account of his controversial and often farcical time in office. Also stars Henry Goodman as Henry Kissinger.
  • THE MINOR CHARACTER Drama written by Will Self and starring David Tennant as Will, the artist, who observes life in minute detail, providing a witty and acerbic critique of his life. When a tragedy occurs, Will is forced to reconsider the trust he has in the urban-suburban, middle-class landscape of his middle-aged friends.
  • THE SNIPIST Drama by Matthew Holness and starring Douglas Henshall and the voice of John Hurt. Set in a post-apocalyptic Britain, a lone sniper (Henshall) must fend off plague carriers and rescue stranded communities in order to survive. But is this landscape of a destroyed civilisation all that it seems?
  • WALKING THE DOGS An intruder breaks into the Queen’s bedroom at dawn. They discuss love, family and personal freedom before the police arrive to take him away. With Emma Thompson, Eddie Marsan and Russell Tovey.
  • THE MAN Hidden in an exclusive hotel, a cabal of powerful individuals debates international politics, economics and war. A chilling look at how an unelected few control the fate of the masses. Written by Sandi Toksvig. With Stephen Fry, Hayley Atwell, Zoe Wanamaker and Stellan Skarsgård.

Fox has decided not to renew freshman sci-fi TV series Terra Nova, announcing today that the show has been canceled after only one season.

No word yet on why, but audience numbers had quickly dwindled following the show debuted in September. Over nine million tuned in to watch the show’s premiere, compared with just over seven million who sat through the show’s two-hour finale in December.

There is still a chance, albeit a slim one, that the show could be picked up by another network.

Crap... I guess we'll never know what was in the Badlands.

Actually one of the big reasons Terra Nova was canceled is the brass upstairs just did not like it as much as other shows. Alcatraz could get cut as well.
