Re: Zach - I found it interesting that he is the "go to" gut for special effects in independent films here in Vancouver. This says to me that there are a few ringers in here. The film industry is pretty big here, and to be a go to guy for many films up here is no amateur feat.

I too worried about Zach's connection to special effects. I had thought that he'd probably be eliminated in the future in a task that didn't allow him to use his special effects strengths. Mind you, after watching the Time Out and Danger Zone, I think he's conceptually sound, and has a good idea about telling a story too. I hope he does well.

To me, it seems that they are setting him up to be one of the end finalists, because we have had so much opportunity to "get to know him" and the judges really like him too. He's getting a lot of good early exposure. We are given many opportunities via mini-interview clips and stuff to get to know and like him.


PS - My DVR ran out of space (and I didn't realize), so I haven't seen the Tuesday elimination show. I'm looking for it on the torrent sites right now.

I re-watched a few of the clips online yesterday and noticed one big "huh?" In the peeing on the bus video they showed external shots of the bus traveling and it was a yellow school bus. They certainly had regular buses available, as shown in other clips, so why would you use a school bus for this clip? School kids certainly have aged, lol.

Boo....watching the episodes doesn't work in Canada. Shocker.

I'm going to go see if I can find it on CTV's site.

FOX cuts On the Lot to one episode per week

After two weeks of disappointing ratings for its rapidly devolving series On the Lot, FOX has cut the show back from two nights to a single night.

FOX “will now condense its competition and results shows into one weekly one-hour program, airing Tuesdays at 8:00/7:00c starting June 5,” The Futon Critic reports.

Ummm... how are they going to do that? Don't they need time to let the public vote and tally the votes??

UMMMMMM...maybe the public is not voting any more, I think the host is the problem..again I think the judges should decide, since they have the expertise.. I appreciate the show twice a week, let the judges decide then why waste time with the public and get all complicated.

Man, they're really messing up what should've been a fantastic summer show.

<sigh>. You know the networks are doing something terribly wrong when even Spielberg can't get enough ratings to keep a show on the air.

I haven't seen this week's show yet but I thoroughly enjoyed the first week's episodes. It is an original concept and it is interesting (sigh - to me anyway). What is happening to network TV sucks right now.

Well, that really bums me out. I like this show and they aren't even giving it a shot to get more people watching through word of mouth. I hate it when they cut shows after only being on for 2 weeks.

I wondered about voting, too. Maybe they don't announce the results until the beginning of the following week's show.
I've PVR'd the episodes so far but am waiting to see if it gets cancelled before I invest the time to watch.

Tweety - that makes sense.
Show all the videos. Set the public to vote. All the contestants do the next task. Next week eliminate the losers and we see/vote on the videos of the survivors.

Just DON'T cancel this. Get rid of the "hostess"?

They just don't give any show a chance any more. Most of the reality shows start slow and build up steam. This show is original and interesting, but, oh, well, it wasn't top of the charts from the get go. Aaaaaaargh.

I agree. They should show them making the movies, interacting and then the final product.

This show had so much potential. It's so frustrating!!!

I agree with everything you're saying. Maybe this way we will get rid of the host. At the beginning of the hour they can tell us who "lost" from last week -- and they can do it quickly! then they can spend the remaining 50 minutes showing us the new films and letting us get to know the filmmakers. There is a lot of fat they could trim out of this show.

My DVR still thinks there is a new show Monday and Tuesday.. (make that Time Warner, which feeds my DVR)

I agree, ax the host and the "dramatic" reveal and let us see moviemaking, movies, people.

The behind the scenes stuff about the movie making is one of the best parts about doing a reality show about this subject. Just showing the movies they make is something that can be done online (like for the MTV Movie Awards fan spoofs).

Apparently the clips shown tonight were their "audition" tapes,but I've heard they weren't too.
