What do you think? Have you seen SWAT and/or 9JKL? Do you hope they get renewed?
love the shows s.w.a.t. young Sheldon 9jkl hope they stay on for a long time
9JKL could develop into something better. One of the first things they need to do is lose the canned laughter. Give it a few more episodes for the characters to develop and maybe it could have a future. Again – lose the canned laughter!
I love S.W.A.T. I never miss an episode. The acting is awesome. I always have good feelings at the end of each show. Shemar is a great actor and believable!! The writers are exceptional. Please don’t cancel this show.
9jkl is poor show wasting the talents of some good actors, I still don’t know why they cancelled Me, Myself and I
GOOD NEWS
I am sorry to be so disappointed in the show. Was really looking forward to it too. I just find the directing to be lacking , and much of the acting quite wooden. I’d prefer to see Shemar back on Criminal Minds…but, when I see the rating numbers here, don’t think it will happen. Really disappointed.
Love swat keep it coming.
Both shows are better than I expected. I start, unfortunately, with the attitude of not getting attached because they will just get pulled. We are not allowed time to get into a show any more. Our viewing habits have changed but their calculations don’t so bye bye shows. I enjoy both shows but S.W.A.T. would be my favorite. Thank you.
That’s great news for S.W.A.T. ! Can’t wait to see the character and story development. It seems each episode gets better and better. Bravo!
