He's basically not involved - at all.

Posted by: DTravel on Oct 02, 15:42 in response to tealfan's post don't know how involved JJ Abrams is in these shows...

The most involvement he has with pretty much any production Bad Robot is involved with is "Hey, wouldn't it be neat if <something absolutely impossible>?"  He spouts a few of those every day and underlings scurry around trying to make a viable show out of his stream of unconsciousness utterings.

That and rubberstamping his name on everything he can because the networks think his name alone is enough to make a show a hit.

DL: NBC's 'Revolution', 'Go On' And 'New Normal' Get Full-Season Orders [RVOLUT] [GOONBC] [NWNRML] Oleg Max Oct 02, 13:06

been watching Revolution, pretty good so far. don't care for the other 2. does anyone watch any of them, what do you think of them? {nm} Oleg Max Oct 02, 13:33

Revolution is terrible. Just my opinion. islander Oct 02, 13:40

I agree. I tried to watch the 2nd ep to give it a 2nd chance but quit about half way in. But those looking for action and don't care if JDolphin Oct 02, 13:50

hmm, really? you guys did not like it, ha? what's the reason? the concept is great, acting is decent, what else is there not to like? Oleg Max Oct 02, 14:09

I've only watch the first episode so far, but I think the concept is great and the execution is horrible (Spoilers) lapuckfan Oct 02, 14:40

JJ is great at "Wouldn't this shot look really cool?" ideas but is completely clueless on actually telling a story. {nm} DTravel Oct 02, 14:42

The concept is idiotic, the characters are unbelievably stupid, the writing is MIA and the action and story are laughable. DTravel Oct 02, 14:40

ouch. rough crowd. still, its no HBO, its free TV and its good enough for me, until maybe something better comes along. {nm} Oleg Max Oct 02, 14:54

Like a test pattern? DTravel Oct 02, 15:38

I like how my friend described the show: You really want me to get excited about a show where the lights go out? Zoggie Oct 02, 14:59

Please, don't get me started on 'Lost'.... {nm} DTravel Oct 02, 15:39

I am relying pretty heavily on my PVR to catch all the new series. I have not watched all the one's I have recorded, but have seen a few: PVL Admin Oct 02, 13:47

saw Last Resort too. not bad. like Vegas a lot, no interest in others you mentioned... {nm} Oleg Max Oct 02, 14:55

don't know how involved JJ Abrams is in these shows anymore...he's churning them out left and right and they don't have his usual standards {nm} tealfan Oct 02, 15:26

He's basically not involved - at all. DTravel Oct 02, 15:42

New Normal would get picked up, of course. It's part of the left wing agenda. {nm} elchan Oct 02, 13:44

How many episodes is a "full season order"? 24? {nm} Rednax Oct 03, 05:10

22. Usually its 13 to start, then a "back 9" to bring it up to 22. HSX Dude website has explanations on terms. islander Oct 03, 05:55

Thanks. I should have checked there first! {nm} Rednax Oct 04, 01:33

I've seen all thre Revolution Shows wroberson Oct 06, 05:01
