Why no Wonder Woman, you ask? Well according to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros TV CEO says…it was just too radical a shift.

THR: You had the most talked about pilot of the season in Wonder Woman. How does it feel not seeing it on NBC’s schedule?

Roth: I think Wonder Woman was a very well crafted pilot. But after seeing the announcement of the NBC schedule, I now understand and agree with [NBC Entertainment Chairman] Bob [Greenblatt] that it doesn’t necessarily fit particularly well with their schedule. As well crafted and contemporized as it was, it was a big and radical shift for viewers to embrace this new idea – and that may, to some degree, have had to do with why it didn’t make it.

THR: Is there a chance that we’ll see it on another network in another form?

Roth: To be determined. I’m just not sure yet; we haven’t given it a lot of thought.

smurfs…no really, smurfs

#1427

Looks really… uh… smurfy.

#1428

Smurfs… barf.

I have to admit being biased. I hated the Smurfs as a kid. Couldn’t tell you why, just really despised them.

If I were a Smurfs fan I think I would still be upset by this movie. It looks awful!

Is there anyone excited to see it?

#1429

That was HORRIBLE. I didn’t even crack a smile. Well, when NPH said “Smufity smurf smurf smurf!” I chuckled. But no. Just… no.

I didn’t know How I Met Your Mother was doing so poorly.
