Hostages (CBS) -- Dylan McDermott & Toni Collette

[Moefiz]

Finally saw the pilot last night and it was pretty good, had its intense moments and the show itself was well done.

My wife and I are in it for the long run, would like to see how it turns out.

So the head to head seems to be Hostages vs Blacklist. After the premieres I am hands down rooting for Blacklist.

I dunno, I'm gonna give Hostages at least two more episodes till I make up my mind if I'm gonna stick with it. Benefit of the doubt and all...

I think it's been overhyped so much, that I already felt like I saw most of the episode because of all the tv spots and such. My other issues is with the total predictability so far. I mean, of course each family member is gonna have a "secret". But it just seems like this family and the kids don't "fit" the parents. I just don't believe the chemistry as a family unit...yet. And they gave away all the hidden secrets of each member in the very first episode!! Dumb move if you ask me...like putting all your eggs in a one basket. I woulda spread it out a bit. Again, I will stick with it another 2 episodes but compared to the cinematic and excellently acted Blacklist, it seems a pale exercise.

Finally watched the pilot. Loved it. I don't see how it can go for 15 episodes though.

That's just speculation from a TV website, you made it sound like there was official rumblings from the networks. Yes, they are sometimes right, but I highly doubt they are canceling Hostages. It's only 15 episodes anyways and only 13 more to air.

666 Park Avenue was killed before all the completed episodes aired.

The Blacklist is so much better.

Every episode of 666 Park Avenue aired in the US. Just delayed, but they all aired.

I'm really enjoying Hostages so far. I hope the ratings start to show some improvement.

Another great episode tonight. Really enjoying this show!

After watching the second episode, i think I am done with this show. Removing this from my DVR.

[djgeneral]

I don't think it will be canceled. If anything, they might air it on Saturday nights or something. The cast tweeted they were filming a new episode today so production is still moving along.

I wont be surprised if this show is cancelled.

I haven't seen Mondays episode yet, but CBS can't keep the show in this timeslot with a 1.2.

Unless they have a clear cut story arc that has to end at Hour 15, I think CBS will cut the episode order to 12 or 13 and then cut their losses and burn the show off on Saturdays. You can't put this on Fridays because if you did a trade with Hawaii Five-O and brought that back to Mondays, Hostages would end up hurting Blue Bloods ratings.

Another option would be to move up the midseason show Intelligence from it's February premiere date. However, that show may not be ready yet.

I really wanted to like this show but the last episode was just so boring, nothing exciting happen it was just really really slow and most of the actor's seem to be asleep when delivering their lines...like my wife said last night while we were looking at it, they need to do something..break the husband legs or hurt one of the kids...something...even the conspiracy isn't interesting at all...

Tonight was great. The ending
