5 Fall TV Shows That Are Doomed To Fail

3. Wisdom Of The Crowd

Thanks to roles in Mr Selfridge and Entourage, Jeremy Pivon is a proven talent that audiences like . That said, he should question the wisdom of his agent to allow him to star in Wisdom Of The Crowd.

Upon first glance, Piven’s character Jeffrey Tanner borrowed the thick black glasses and stubble of Michael Weatherly’s Bull and started rolling without giving much thought as to whether the show would work.

Wisdom Of The Crowd is a drama about a tech mogul who develops a crowdsourcing app to solve his daughter’s murder. And if he happens to revolutionize crime-solving at the same time, hey that could be fun too.

Executive Producer/showrunner Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife) hopes that audiences will be attracted to the concept that, when it comes to solving any problem, a million minds online are better than one. This mob rule of justice may work for Reddit, but they have proven not to be successful in achieving accurate information and can result in some crazy conspiracy theories – or in this case, a crazy television show.

Yet again, networks seem to be pulling from the failed Pure Genius, a procedural set in a technology-driven hospital, and APB a high-tech police procedural. Neither lasted a season.
