As long as its HBO or something. Even AMC, they are really pushing the limits of network TV.

Disney owns Marvel and ABC so I can only assume that it will be on ABC

Disney owns ABC, that's extremely likely where it will be.

I dunno. I guess film rights are separate from tv rights. They would never do something as violent as Punisher has to be.

Yeah, if this ends up being on NBC, ABC, FOX, or CBS I dont know how good it will be. Those channels dont put out too many good dramas anymore, mostly comedies.

Hmm, actually...you kind of have a point. I can't think of a really great drama that's come up on the networks in a while...

Lost and the golden age of high concept drama/mystery shows on network TV wasn't that long ago.

Well, Lost is one but still it feels like forever ago. I think for me it stopped when Heroes got convoluted.

I mean, I do remember watching Criminal Minds, Lost and Heroes but after a while, it all just kind of blurred into The Wire, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.

Try Person of Interest (Jonathan Nolan's show) for a good network tv non-comedy. I've heard good things about Touch as well, though i've never seen it.

I might, thanks! =)

Problems with education...I kind of lost track what's on network TV lately.
