New SciFi/Fantasy Shows for 2013-14… and When They Will End   9 comments

FALL IS HERE! I can tell because there are dead leaves on my car each morning!  And with fall come all sorts of new TV Shows!

As has been seen as the trend in recent years, many of these new shows fall into the SciFi/Fantasy genera.  And as always, most of these shows are going to fade off.  So the question is how long they will last and if it will be worth your time to get invested.

Prep your DVRs!  We are going to go thought this seasons upcoming shows and figure out when they will end!

From NBC

Dracula

The king of all vampires is back in this heavily reworked vision of the old story.  Dracula returns to London after spending sometime in the states.  The old neck sucker has cast himself in the role of American business man in the vain of The Men Who Built America as a cover for his nefarious dealings in Europe.  Looks like this is NBC attempting to fill the void that the cancellation of True Blood is going to leave in the sexy-vampires genera.

Premier: October 25, 2013

Cancellation Prediction: I think this show is going to do well and get a five season run.  Normally I am a bit of cynic when it comes to NBC but they have been doing better in resent years with shows like Revolution and Hannibal.

Undateable

God damn it, NBC… This show is going with the old strange-guys-learn-to-love trope.  A bunch of weirdos get dating lessons from a more successful male specimen.  Based on a book.  Not a SciFi/Fantasy show, but expect it to be a retread of a The Big Bang Theory.  Have fun stigmatizing people.  F**k you, NBC.  Seriously.

Premier: Winter 2014

Cancellation Prediction: Probably never.  This show will never end just despite me.  (Or it will go unnoticed and and fade off after half it’s produced episodes are aired.  Those remaining episodes will be burned off in the summer with a hastily produced finale to give closure to the main romantic story line.)

Believe

A little girl with mysterious powers is pursued a secretive organization so that they can use her to take over the world.  Because that is just how these things go.  A priest who knows about her abilities turns to a convict to be her protector.  Because that is also how these things go.  It’s from JJ Abrams, so expect a lot of lens flair.

Premier: Winter 2014

Cancellation Prediction: End of season one with a cliff hanger that will never be resolved.
