Greg Berlanti breaks the record for the most TV shows on the air at the same time

No. I wish he'd create another Brothers & Sisters instead.

One: Riverdale.

[quote]Does any of you watch them ?

Lol, nope. But good for him!

Good for the guy. I don't watch any of those shows.

I only watch The Flash.

Haven't seen an episode of any of them.

I watched 2 seasons of Arrow. Eye candy.

Jesus Christ, that is just a river of complete and utter shit. Does anyone actually WATCH these shows? I thought gay men had cultural taste. Apparently not.

I don't and something tells me they're all terrible. But more power to him.

I used to watch his superhero shows but not anymore.

Happy for his success though, great to see gay men in power.

Does?

Anyway, Arrow and Flash. I wanted to watch Legends, but gave up after 3 episodes.

I watch all his CW shows. They vary in quality, with Legends being the worst by far. But for the most part they're not bad guilty pleasures.

[quote]Greg Berlanti breaks the record for the most TV shows on the air at the same time

Some of these shows are not on air yet and just in the pre-production phase like Deception and Black Lightning. IMDB claims Titans is a movie project and not a TV show btw. And other than OP's link there's no info about about Liftime's You.

I wonder which actors from his shows has he hooked up with.

R14 - Isn't that a prerequisite for being cast?

R15 Aside from a few jokes about Stephen and Colton.....

R13 he's really good looking in that picture

Never heard of him. Who?

Who says you can't have it all?

r18 must be new here.

Or R18 does know him and isn't a fan.

Blindspot was interesting the first season, but after that... I watch Supergirl occasionally. I liked Everwood. That was a good show.

Supergirl fans don't seem to be a fan of season 2.

At least OURS are all on major networks.

Ooh, was he involved in Everwood? That was a good show. Can we also thank him for Chris Pratt?

Miss Berlanti likes to pay for rough, dominant tops.

No, but then I'm an adult.

[quote]Happy for his success though, great to see gay men in power.

Yet he hardly has any gay (male) characters on any of his shows! He has a ton of lesbians though, of course. Can't let down the straight fanboys and their jack off fantasies!

R28 I don't think real lesbians appeal to straight guys

Here's an article from 2013 where Berlanti talks about all the gay (male) characters in the shows he's either written or produced.

Dawson's Creek, Brothers and Sisters (Scotty and Kevin), Political Animals (with Sebastian Stan as the gay son), Everwood and its coming out episodes.....etc.....

And his boyfriend is Robbie Rogers. Charmed life.

[Quote] Yet he hardly has any gay (male) characters on any of his shows! He has a ton of lesbians though, of course. Can't let down the straight fanboys and their jack off fantasies!

I agree with the first part but lesbian characters also tend to have fans who are also...........lesbians.

... ..

Is this the guy from the other thread that likes to get fisted by young rough trade?

[Quote] From writers and executive producers Berlanti and Sera Gamble (The Magicians), You is based on Caroline Kepnes' book and is described as a psychological thriller. The 10-episode drama is a 21st century love story that asks what you would do for love. When Joe (Penn Badgley), a brilliant bookstore manager, crosses paths with an aspiring writer, his answer becomes clear: anything. Using the internet and social media as his tools to gather the most intimate of details and get close to her, a charming and awkward crush quickly becomes an obsession as he quietly and strategically removes every obstacle — and person — in his way. Mitchell will play Peach Salinger. With vast resources and family money, Peach is the controlling queen bee of Beck’s (Elizabeth Lail) inner circle of privileged friends. She has her sights set on Joe, in a way that feels oddly adversarial with Beck.

Good luck.

I watch Riverdale. But I may get tired of it.

Berlanti did not create Brothers & Sisters. That was Jon Robin Baitz.

Nope, not a one.

I watch none of them.

(No offense intended.)

I miss Brothers & Sisters, especially Kevin.

A grown man becomes the Queen of TV Shows for Teenage Girls?

Pathetic.

Aren't superhero shows for teenage boys, R40?

Greg's smile is really cute. Smiles like that get the dick.

The Sally Field Programme was my shit.

Only Riverdale. Kind of fed up with superhero shows at the moment. Loved Everwood. The show had Gregory Smith, Chris Pratt, Mike Irwin, and Steven Mcqueen. What was there not to like?

I like Riverdale. The rest are crap that my partner watches solo.

Another fan of Everwood here (it also had Treat Williams, R43). I could not possibly care less about Berlanti's superhero shows or Riverdale, but that's just me. (Hey, Robbie Rogers, if you ever break up with Greg, call me!)

I had no idea he was a writer/producer for Dawson's Creek.

So he totally grave up on producing adult, Quasi - relevant tv shows? Congrats i guess.

He's on fire!

[quote]Divine intervention has come to CBS in the form of a drama pilot order for Greg Berlanti and “Gotham” scribes Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt.

[quote]“God Friended Me” revolves around an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he’s friended by God on Facebook. The proximity to the Holy Spirit makes him an agent of change in the lives of those around him. [Because atheists can't possibly be motivated by non-divine intervention?]

[quote]The pilot hails from Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. TV. Lilien and Wynbrandt penned the script and Marcos Siega will direct. Sarah Schechter, head of Berlanti Productions, will executive produce along with Berlanti.

Oh great, yet another perverse atheist conversion trope to make the Christians feel good. I definitely won't be watching.

Don't watch any of that crap

Are you fucking kidding me? That's pretty much the same story arc from Badgley's character on Gossip Girl!

I watch The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Riverdale.

[Quote] Are you fucking kidding me? That's pretty much the same story arc from Badgley's character on Gossip Girl!

Pretty much.

So basically he does the shows that sound great but that you really cannot get into...or that you just never heard of.

That show at r48 sounds laughably stupid.

His face...

[Quote] That show at [R48] sounds laughably stupid.

A stupid show with a hot cast.

Robbie Rogers is a dream....

I'm jealous and inspired by this guy. Robbie Rogers is a dream husband. Athletic, warm, hot, and probably a slutty bottom in bed.

I watch The Flash (even though I still insist the Iris/Barry relationship is creepy and incest-adjacent), and watched a couple episodes of Legends, but that's it.

R59 I don't watch The Flash. How is the relationship creepy?

r60, I am not r59, but I think he means that Barry and Iris grew up like brother and sister after Iris' dad takes Barry in (Barry's mother gets killed and Barry's father is accused of murdering her and lands in prison for it).

Of course they have a kid.

So much shows and nothing to watch.

R61 Thanks for explaining.

I does not watch them.

He does all those DC superhero-soap opera shows with all the queer/frau baiting casts right?

We have more gay representation than ever. Why aren't the actual shows better than they are?

r66, because they are watered down to appeal to the mainstream / more demographics than just gays.

I'm interested in "You" because I read the book and the sequel. I just wish it wasn't Penn Badgley in it because he is insufferable to watch.

[quote] Jesus Christ, that is just a river of complete and utter shit. Does anyone actually WATCH these shows? I thought gay men had cultural taste. Apparently not.

Aren't you a fount of charm and positivity!

No I doesn’t

LEGENDS is really awful, in spite of having some good actors (Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller, Arthur Darvill who was the preacher on BROADCHURCH). I couldn't make it past 4 episodes.

Too dark and broody. Too much soap opera.

Riverdale has the most laughably melodramatic Confirmation ever put to film.

R71 I dropped it after three episodes but people say it really found its character in the next season and now it's great fun.

[Quote] Too dark and broody. Too much soap opera.

That's what most cw shows are unfortunately.

I watched the first season of Arrow.

R71: Victor Garber's screen career is really inconsistent. I hated the remake of [italic]Annie[/italic] he was in, but he was good as Sid Luft. [italic]Titanic[/italic] I can take or leave, honestly.

My opinion of Garber is based primarily on his stage work His film/TV work is uneven, but clearly he's doing shows like ALIAS, etc. for $$$.

[quote][R66], because they are watered down to appeal to the mainstream / more demographics than just gays.

And that's why it's hard for me to get into it. I want nothing but movies by gays, for gays, about gays that are 100% gay on both sides of the camera with no pandering to heterosexuals whatsoever.

no.

[Quote] I watched the first season of Arrow.

I think i got half way through and just couldn't be bothered. Too many flashbacks.

R80, yeah, all that island stuff didn't interest me at all. I stuck with it through the first season, then missed a couple episodes in season two and never did get caught up. I keep hearing that season three of Arrow was really bad.

The CW is for teenagers.

[quote]Only Riverdale. Kind of fed up with superhero shows at the moment. Loved Everwood. The show had Gregory Smith, Chris Pratt, Mike Irwin, and Steven Mcqueen. What was there not to like?

I watched one year of Riverdale, until the actors began to seem mired in their perceived sense of fabulousness. They no longer seemed like characters, just actors going for the social media feelz. And I am no social media feelr.

I loved Mike Irwin and Steven Robitaille. Wish Berlanti would star them in a show as two gay guys. No vampires, though.

You'd think that the law of large numbers would guarantee that at least one of them were not mediocre. But, you'd be wrong...

....and their all horseshit.

They’re **

I've tried Flash, Arrow, Blindspot, and watched the entire first season of Riverdale. It's all crap.

I hope Black Lightning does well.

Victor Garber was responsible for Elle Woods‘ #metoo moment...

Charles Boyer looked like he stank of onions, BO, and stale sweat.

Good for him. Too bad they're shit. I prefer quality over quantity tho.

All shit so nothing to brag about.

"A grown man becomes the Queen of TV Shows for Teenage Girls?

Pathetic."

Nobody likes a bitter Betty.

[Quote] I prefer quality over quantity tho.

I don't know what that means.

Berlanti has Punchable Andy Cohen Face Syndrome.

Greg's Lifetime tv show You had been given a second season even before the first season has aired.

At BEST a CW show only counts for 1/5.
