The release date for the new “Criminal Minds” pilot on CBS, “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders,” a spinoff of the original crime drama, premieres March 16, 2016. Social media buzz surrounding the show has already developed, and the show has been busy marketing towards companies such as TV Guide and Youtube. The new pilot is promoting its new cast by interacting with actors on Twitter such as Daniel Henney (Big Hero 6, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and by sharing a special “Meet the Cast” article published on CBS.com that was also posted on Twitter. Youtube promos and Twitter promo’s have been focused on these new actors and their past credentials. And, to further promote these actors, actors from the original “Criminal Minds” are also interacting with the new cast, wishing them good luck on the new pilot on Twitter, which has 1, 693 followers already.

“Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” has its own Youtube Channel with 3 videos posted (They’ve only been active since last Friday). The first promo into the first episode had the most views of 880 out of the three videos, which was posted just yesterday, January 27th, 2016. Overall, their Youtube channel has 57 subscribers since last week Friday, which isn’t too bad for just starting up.

OF KINGS AND PROPHETS: WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS SEASON

Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, writers and creators of the new ABC drama series, “Of Kings and Prophets”, a modern, yet historic account of the biblical tales of David and King Saul, are well-versed in bringing biblical stories to Hollywood. Both were cowriters on the film “Exodus: Gods and Kings” (2014), which received much criticism due to the lack of diversity in casting. In interviews, Cooper and Collage have stated the impact that criticism had on the making and casting for “Of Kings and Prophets”. With a delayed release date, Cooper, Collage and the rest of ABC are hoping for great success from the show referring to it as a “non-dragon version of Game of Thrones”. Other Bible-related shows, such as NBC’s “A.D. The Bible Continues” (2015) have not seen much success averaging 1.06 rating and 5.4 million viewers over the course of last season. However, ABC is looking to set itself apart from those shows immediately, with a trailer that hints at the violence and sex viewers should expect to see from week to week. “Of Kings and Prophets” premieres March 8.

Legends of Tomorrow – Post #1

Pilot-Part 1

This past Thursday night, a new team of heroes joined the silver screen. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow premiered to 3.14 million viewers and joined fellow DC heroes of the Green Arrow and the Flash.

Superheroes on television is hardly a novel idea, but it appears as if the CW has gotten the formula down to a science. But there comes a time when there is too much superheroes in mass media. In a time where there is so much saturation when it comes to the caped crusaders, it becomes hard to stand out.

Legends of Tomorrow accomplishes that. With a new team of superheroes instead of a single hero destines to save his city, this team consists of both heroes and villains fighting in the past to save the future. Definitely an interesting concept, but it will be interesting to see what happens as this show progresses. With a history of superheroes on the CW, it should be easy for Legends to be competitive in this saturated market.

ABC is offering a new sitcom! The Real O’neals launches on March 8th at 8:30 PM/7:30PM est. One of the writers (David Windsor) is known for the series “what i like about you” starring (pre crazy) Amanda Bynes. This show is about a family that after having a conversation about whats really going on in their lives, they start to “keep it real” Stories with this Irish Catholic family include : mom and dad getting a divorce, a son revealing his sexuality, another son suffering from Anorexia, and a daughter thats just the opposite of the traditional catholic. The trailer is filled with shenanigans that seem to have the potential to be entertaining throughout the season. The show launching in march tells me that ABC has faith, but wouldn’t go all in on the potential success of the show. The show’s official twitter has about 1,136 followers, and the official page has 3 videos of the show (most likely because the show hasn’t launched yet.) Stay tuned for more information!
