Surprised there wasn't a thread for this already. 


 


Walt Disney Co’s ABC network is tapping its blockbuster “Avengers” franchise for a new TV show, looking to reverse a ratings decline that put it last of the four largest networks among audiences coveted by advertisers.

The network is so confident in “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” that it scheduled the show on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. eastern time, where it will face off against TV’s top-rated scripted show, CBS’ crime juggernaut “NCIS.”

ABC plans to air a total eight new shows this fall, according to a schedule of its Fall lineup that was released by the network. It will also retool its long-running hit “Dancing with the Stars,” cutting it back from two nights to one after its ratings weakened.

Its “S.H.I.E.L.D.” offering is ABC’s first effort to translate the big-screen success of Disney’s Marvel comics movie franchise to television.

The new TV show will star “Avengers” actor Clark Gregg as agent Phil Coulson, who assembles a small group of agents to investigate strange happenings around the world. “Avengers” movie director Joss Whedon, who created the hit sci-fi TV show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” will serve as executive producer.

“We believe S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to recruit a whole new audience coming in,” ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee told reporters on a conference call. “And we don’t necessarily think that audience is the same as NCIS.”

The show tested well in “all four quadrants,” meaning young and old, men and women, Lee said.

ABC hopes to lure younger viewers with the fast-paced, special effects laden show instead of “NCIS,” whose viewers have a median age of 60, Horizon Media analyst Brad Adgate said.

I'm pretty excited about this, and I think it looks really good. Any big budget comic-book based show is good in my books.

 

For those who are wondering about Agent Coulson being alive: rumour has it that his death was completely faked in order to motivate The Avengers and that the pilot will show a lot of S.H.I.E.L.D Agents who frown upon that decision. (http://screenrant.co...ained-spoilers/)

 

 

Thoughts?

As long as one of the Avengers makes a cameo (RDJ), I'll be good.

Don't touch Lola! Lol, looking forward to this, looks great, and there's bound to be some sort of big name cameo in the first episode by someone from the marvel movies, there usually is in these things,Not that it matters if there isn't, coz it looks great anyway.
I hear voices in my head all the time, telling me what to do. But I just ignore them and carry on killing.

Maybe Samuel L Jackson will make a cameo, but i think Joss Whedon is looking to make it a completely separate thing from Avengers (character-wise anyway). So I don't know if we'll see Iron Man or Captain America anytime soon.

Dude, the Arrow season finale rocked IMO. Can't wait for season 2!

That's who I was thinking, seeing as he's the head of s.h.i.e.l.d. would make sense to see him even briefly.

Looks pretty cool. Wonder if they'll have any Marvel heros in it besides whom we've seen.

Coulson still alive? I was thinking it was pre-Avengers, but whatever.
