• I just heard Noah on the Nerdist Writer’s Panel and he seems like a smart lad. Glad to see he can still sell a project after My Generation (which was a good concept… in theory) was yanked out from under him.

• The joining of a pod that can’t get a series on the air and a writer who’s been consistently canceled?! What could go wrong?

  • Couldn’t agree more. Do these guys have compromising photos of the powers that be at ABC?

• hawley’s first show was cancelled before 13, his second was cancelled after two (which i think earned it the dubious distinction of being the first yanked that season)… i don’t get this town — how man bites at the apple do you give someone? hopefully 3 strikes and you’re out and “they” give someone else a shot to grab the brass ring.

• I’m sure this won’t turn out well, considering how sub-mediocre My Generation was…

• The Unusuals was a great series that was mismarketed. MyGen should be forgiven because it was an adaptation — and how well did NBC’s Prime Suspect, another adaptation, do, eh? Maybe the third time will be the charm. Good luck, Noah.

• Noah is the real deal. Best writer in town.
  Buncha jealous/bitter commentators.
  Shows on broadcast get cancelled all the time

  Unusuals had Jeremy Renner Pre Hurt Locker Oscar nom….ABC stupidly cancelled it
