If Hannibal and Charlie Manson (Aquarius) did become TV staples, welcomed into your living room, then how far off are we from a series about James Holmes and Dylann Storm Roof getting early release and sharing an apartment in Spokane? Do you want that?

I didn't watch Hannibal, but not because of the grotesque-ness of it. I watched an 1.5 episodes, I gave it a shot. I like Mads Mikkelson; I've seen other shows & movies with him. He's great. But Hannibal with that accent really threw me. And I didn't like the Will character. If there is no one I like even a little, no one to root for, I'm not watching.

Yes, but only if the pilot episode is about how John Bailo is a culinary student who became their roommate by having to pretend to be gay so that their landlord would allow him to live there with Dylann and James.

This is the only show that I watch on NBC. I wonder if (or how) they promoted it. You'd think that the Duchovny--Anderson back-to-back hours on NBC would've been a huge selling point.

Really glad that they're airing the remaining 10 and hoping that someone else picks it up. I've been super curious to find out whether Fuller & co. would get the rights to the Clarice arc.

NBC canceled Star Trek then a few months later we landed on the moon. Shortly after that Star Trek went gang busters in syndication.

NBC got into a pissing match with Johnny Carson in the late 1970's when he was the only show they had that brought in any money into the network.

Do we really need to go on with the stupidity of NBC?

Cannibalism when done in an upper-class white fashion simply doesn't interest the 99%. If they did a bi-racial hannibal with a hip-hop slant maybe then the masses would eat it up.

The most transgressive show ever on network tv is Swingtown. That show didn't push boundaries, it ran over them like they were never even there. It's a classic. You can't stream it, you have to get the discs from the library, Scarecrow, or Netflix disc in the mail. You will be glad you did!

I would want my character to be both zany and British.

The thing about cancelling Star Trek is, back then a season was 39 episodes.

Today, you can have premium binge worthy series that are only 13 episodes per year.

Thus it's like Star Trek in Current TV Seasons ran for about six years.

And by their Season 3, they had already begun jumping by adding the Davy Jones-esque Chekov and other youth-oriented shows as well as the ridiculous planet based on Al Capone gangsters.

No, TOS lived a full and useful life and was terminated at the appropriate time.
