Behind the Screen: The Shannara Chronicles - MTV

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

The Flopnnara Chronicles premieres tonight. After reading dozens of reviews of the first four episodes, the response has been overwhelmingly positive...

Even if it wasn't on MTV it'd still be tragic...

The Flopnnara Chronicles premieres tonight.

After reading dozens of reviews of the first four episodes, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. And apparently it's the most beautiful show on television. Too bad it's on MTV.

I'll watch it if the ratings are good, so I will most likely not watch it #FLOP

Tragic is Once Upon A Time and that lesbian Mulan bullshit someone was telling me about.

Damn this dry *** thread. I'll say ratings are good first couple of episodes then it all starts flopping there.

Sadly, I'm expecting about 360,000 viewers. And that's being generous.

i'll check it out...

ratings wont be too spectactular for the premiere, but good word of mouth can change that around... we'll just have to see how it pans out over the first month

anon4981298798#40

Is it on at 9 or 10?

202mitch#41

10-12

202mitch#42

way to steal the score from The Island lmaoooo (phenomenal score btw Hans Zimmer is the best)

anon4981298798#43

Those graphics were LIT as **** though.

anon4981298798#44

I'll have to watch later, unfortunately.

PinkRose#45

Not watching, cant wait for the ratings. 

I think it will do good

202mitch#46

so far i like it haha

anon4981298798#47
so far i like it haha

I know they've changed quite a bit from the book, but so long as they keep the ending, I personally think you and a lot of others out there will love it.

If the word Safehold is brought up, let me know.

202mitch#48

so many teens in this cast... i wish there were some older characters.

it strangely reminds me of a show called Tower Prep that came out a while back... the acting does at least. Like average to below average acting with a really cool setting and somewhat interesting plotline

202mitch#49

This show is the love child of The 100 + Lord of the Rings

Is that good or bad? Lord of the Rings is the true gospel of award winning cinema.

I stand corrected. This series premiere goes hard

its entertaining enough for the fantasy genre haha... The cgi is surprisingly well done! The cast on te other hand needs a bit of work. Clearly only models survived the apocalypse or whatever happened haha

also Safehold has been mentioned lol

202mitch#54

omg I actually love it!!!! great premiere!! crazy ending Biggrin

I hope it does well for MTV (but i'm preparing for the worst lol, imdb boards were pretty freaking dead during the premiere haha)

Tbone#55

I actually liked this premiere. It grabbed my attention surprisingly. I just feel like it shouldn't be on MTV. MTV having shows like finding carter, teen wolf, awkward, and faking it, along teen mom and true life(that damn episode promoting ******) like this show just does not fit this channel or the main audience members. 

gamer73#56

The advertised the challenge a lot during this last night so hopefully new viewers will tune in Biggrin

TwoStrikes#57

Really? I remember like, one Challenge commercial. 

All the commercials were only like 45 seconds anyway lol

Nostalgic#58

i can see this getting old fast though. there was no need for a 2 hour premiere.

PinkRose#59

Not bad at all for MTV, but I was expecting bigger numbers since Teen Mom got great ratings on monday and this got way more promotion than that

TwoStrikes#60

Teen Mom doesnt need promotion

PinkRose#61
Teen Mom doesnt need promotion

I know.

But this show was even promote on theaters. So I was expecting bigger numbers, not bad by any means actually good for MTV.
