Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 8: “Fromage”
Directed by Tim Hunter
Written by Jennifer Schuur and Bryan Fuller
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
Breaking Bad; Boardwalk Empire; Mad Men, Justified; Sons Of Anarchy; Louie; Girls; Shameless, The Americans; Game of Thrones; The number of new quality TV series keeps growing, and we can now add Hannibal to that list.
Over the past 30 years, television has undergone vast improvement. The wave of high-quality niche series may have started as early as the 1980s with Miami Vice, and later with the success of Twin Peaks in the 90′s, but it was only recently that several of these intelligent niche productions have been leading the pack with the highest ratings. Back in the days, a network’s goal was to equally please as many viewers as possible. Now the aim is to please relatively fewer viewers but keep them coming back each and every week. »

Genre television is becoming a major presence in primetime TV. Shows like American Horror Story, Hannibal, True Blood and Grimm are dominating the air and doing big numbers for cable and network stations alike. Subsequently, there is a new trend of reviving series once thought to be dead. Netflix is resurrecting Arrested Development, Fox is bringing back 24, TBS rebooted Cougartown. FEARnet is even getting in on the game, bringing back Reaper with an all-new reunion special airing May 28th.
We at FEARnet, being die-hard horror fans, have some ideas as to what we would like to see rebooted, revived, retooled, or resurrected for another turn in the spotlight. There are plenty of factors that play in to the viability of revamping or resurrecting a series. There are concerns of continuity, scheduling, the aging of the cast, and more. We are not proclaiming that a revival of each of these series is necessarily logical. »

Hannibal Episode 107
“Fromage”
Written By: Jennifer Schuur & Bryan Fuller
Directed By: Tim Hunter
Original Airdate: 16 May 2013
In This Episode...
This week’s victim is Douglas Wilson, a trombone player with the Baltimore Orchestra. He is found with his neck broken, dangling almost behind him, a cello neck shoved down his mouth, throat cut open. The killer was trying to play the victim’s vocal chords like a violin. We know that Tobias is the killer. He owns a cello and violin shop, where he makes his own strings from human guts.
Franklin is on to Tobias. Or at least, he thinks he is. Franklin tells Hannibal that he has been concerned over some of the dark things Tobias has been saying, and checked off a multitude of psychopathy markers. Then Douglas shows up dead, and Franklin remembers that Tobias once said he wanted kill someone and play them like a violin. »

Even after seven weeks, it hasn’t gotten any easier to believe that Hannibal is a show currently airing on network television. Perhaps it’s the show’s dire ratings that have prevented a class-5 $hitstorm from getting kicked up, but were it doing Following numbers, it’s guaranteed you’d be hearing outcry about Hannibal’s existence from more than just stuffy shirts in Utah. Bryan Fuller is running his writers room like a nightmare factory, with each episode’s exquisitely designed murder tableaux adding a new flavor to the season’s selection of memorable horrors. Taking any musician’s fear of choking on stage a bit literally, this week’s macabre masterpiece presented a symphony orchestra trombonist taking center stage, a cello neck shoves down his own, the skin of his neck flayed open like a barn door, to expose rigid, strummable vocal cords.
That’s some seriously messed up business right there, »

A few quick thoughts on tonight's "Hannibal" — and other recent developments on the show — coming up just as soon as I take a hammer to my chimney... Other end-of-season bits of work have gotten in the way of me writing anything about the previous two episodes of the show — both of them dealing with Dr. Lecter's side career as the Chesapeake Ripper — which is a shame, as they were two of the strongest episodes so far, and boasted fine guest performances by Eddie Izzard and Gillian Anderson (who continued tonight as Lecter's therapist). My hope is that »

We’re now at the end of this year’s Upfronts week, which means the major broadcast networks have announced their new shows and schedules for the 2013-2014 season. I’m here to run you through some of the shows that will be coming to NBC later this year.
Beginning with the sitcoms, Thursday night will introduce viewers to Welcome to the Family, Sean Saves the World (fortunately, this isn’t a show about me as a superhero) and The Michael J. Fox Show, all of which will follow the returning Parks and Recreation in that order starting with Welcome to the Family at 8:30.
Welcome to the Family follows two different families who are forced into each other’s lives after one’s college-age daughter (played by Ella Rae Peck from the now-cancelled NBC drama Deception) becomes pregnant with the other’s college-age son. Presumably, the two get married and more family hijinks ensue. »

Plus Hannibal threatens a move to cable, advice on fixing American Idol plus finales for Scandal and Elementary. News
CBS’ fall schedule includes a few big moves, surprisingly. Hawaii Five-0 gets demoted to Friday nights, with two shows taking its place on Monday nights — Intelligence, with Josh Holloway as a “high-tech intelligence operative with a super-computer microchip in his brain” (it also stars Tbl-fave Michael Rady but I don’t know if Rady can get me past that premise). Also Hostages, a limited series about a surgeon (Toni Colette) who is blackmailed into assassinating the President by Dylan McDermott. They’re also adding an hour of comedy on Thursday nights.
According to Deadline, while NBC is debating if it will order a second season of Hannibal it already has a cable network interested in picking it up. I’d be incredibly amused if that network turned out to be TNT. »

If you're not watching "Hannibal" on NBC, then you are missing one of the best damned horror-themed shows on TV. Apparently NBC hasn't realized this as they've yet to renew the show for a second season. Don't fear though... outside parties are interested should they pass.
Deadline reports that Amazon, which currently carries repeats of the show, has expressed interest in taking it on should NBC pass. There are no talks going on, and "Hannibal" has not been shopped as the producers are waiting on a renewal at NBC. Two words, NBC - wise up! Shit or get off the pot!
That being said, we also have on tap for you right now a new clip from the next episode!

There are several comedy and drama pilots not picked up to series yet that are still in play. But among returning scripted series, only one, NBC drama Hannibal, went through the upfronts without learning its fate. The series, from Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller, got off to a solid ratings start and was in serious contention for an early renewal. The numbers eventually tapered off, and NBC put the renewal decision on hold. Hannibal was well reviewed, and I hear there has been interest from at least one cable network in case NBC passes on a second season. Additionally, I hear Amazon, which currently carries repeats of the show, has expressed interest in taking it on. There are no talks going on and Hannibal has not been shopped as the producers are waiting on a renewal at NBC. Hannibal, from Gaumont International Television, is produced under a different model at »

New York — The slow, lingering demise of "Smash" has felt more like a punch to the gut to the folks on Broadway.
The TV series about the making of a big stage musical came with a flurry of attention and some big names: Steven Spielberg, Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston. It was going to be a valentine to Broadway.
Sometimes, though, love letters get sent back.
After a first season with a healthy-sized audience averaging 7.7 million viewers, it returned this year to such dismal ratings it was banished to Saturday night. It won't be back for a third season.
But while TV was finally focusing on Broadway, plenty of stage veterans jumped to TV during the two-year run of "Smash." Some flamed out, some are holding on and some still hope:
_ Three-time Tony winner Sutton Foster's show about ballerinas, "Bunheads," has been picked up for a second season on ABC Family. »

Frankie's breathless fictional do-goodery pales next to the NHS's real-life drama
There just aren't enough hours in the day for Frankie (BBC1). After waking up with a dramatic flourish, the community nurse with the heart of gold guns her sporty Alfa through the streets of Bristol – no time to waste by driving a clapped-out Yaris – to get to work. Frankie needs to rush because she loves her job and her patients need her. There's the woman trying to look after both her terminally ill husband and a father with Alzheimer's at the same time, even though they live on opposite sides of the city. There's the pregnant army wife whose husband is away in Afghanistan with a daughter who has "undiagnosed symptoms".
Frankie has all the time in the world for her patients. Nothing is too much trouble. She spits in the face of cuts in NHS services. Not enough money? »
