Why hasn't 20th Century released NYPD Blue season 5 and on? Only season 1 thru 4 are available.

There have been a few high profile film directors on the TV schedules recently -- Martin Scorsese (Boardwalk Empire) and Frank Darabont (The Walking Dead). I know its nothing new, but any thoughts on how well feature film directors do, or don't, make the transition to the small screen and its very different requirements and restraints?

Hi Mo!
If you could offer one piece of advice to a new show runner. What would it be?

Also. You've got the best job in the world! Rock on!

My question is in regards to Chuck. I was wondering how you feel overall about the season thus far, but I was more curious about chances of renewal, especially when a full order season would finally allow Chuck to go into syndication.

Given that Chuck's ratings numbers are still stable compared to other new NBC dramas, I want to believe that there is one more season of Chuck. Additionally, if Chuck were to get one more season, where do you think the show should stop? Is Chuck sustainable for more that 5 seasons worth of show?

Hi Mo.

Could you expound on what makes Mad Men compelling for you? Is it the story? The era? Is it the characters - this would be interesting because the main ones seem so unlikeable? A combination of all of them?

Would a Mad Men type show work in another era or is the era the core of the show?

The show seems like a high production soap opera. How would you pitch the series to someone unconvinced or ambivalent?

Or is that even possible?

From someone trying to find an 'in' to the show.

Hi Mo,

I was wondering if you had any thoughts on whether The Walking Dead's staggering premiere ratings could help Rubicon get renewed or could hurt its case. It's always hard to mind-read a TV network, but do you think after its Monster Hit AMC will be *more willing to sustain a struggling show or *less willing?

Although I hope that AMC renews the show *today and makes this question moot by tomorrow afternoon!

How come family channel stopped airing Friday Night Lights? Are they ever going to put it back on the air? Will some other cable network pick it up?

I'm just going to link the open letter to Syfy on TV.com because that guy really hits the nail on the head.

Mo,

What are you top 5 scripted tv shows of ALL TIME?

What are some of the worst shows you've been obligated to cover?

Thanks,
Chris

I was just wondering if you had any thoughts about Caprica and the way the cancellation was handled. I can't remember ever being this pissed off by a network and, with all the fan campaigns out there, I don't know if there's any point to even trying to save the show or I should just move onto the sponsor boycott idea. Right now, consumer action just seems to me to be the way of the future with shows handled this disastrously by a channel with paying subscribers.

Basically, what I'm asking is, do you think that there is any good will left at SyFy to wrap up the story (because we know that the season ends with a cliffhanger) or is the fact that they pulled it off the air their final FU to the show and the fans?

Would definitely appreciate a sane opinion on this.
