The Shannara Chronicles

[Klosterheim]

Well, there is too much modern speak, but I'll watch it anyway.

Perhaps ratings were low, that they now show four episodes on their web site.

They make everyone act like humans, I think that's a mistake.

I find some interest in it.

The Codex was cool.

it could not have been because of ratings, they were advertising during the show you could watch the first four episodes that way

The ratings for the premiere were not good:

well that's a shame. the show likely won't get a chance to find it's groove

yet MTV kept trash like Jersey shore on for years, go figure.

I wonder how well the repeat the next night and again on VH1 did? It's still above norm for a Mtv show.

I still wish the channel would go back music and put something like this on another channel where it could have more viewers. Mtv has pretty much been ignored by anyone I know for many years.

I enjoyed the premiere and I have only read two books in the series (The Sword of Shannara and The Elfstones of Shannara). I enjoyed most of the characters but rolled my eyes at Wil even though I knew that he was supposed to be young and naive. I will be watching future episodes for however long the series lasts. I too think that having it on MTV seems to be an odd choice since it would be more suitable on a channel like Syfy.

I didn't know that. Thanks. I watched it on streaming.

In case it wasn't mentioned, the next two eps (3&4, I guess the premiere was 1&2) are available on demand right now, not just on the website.
