Cultural impact is just a vague phrase people throw out there. People used it as a knock on Avatar for a decade only for the second to make all of the money.

We're still doing cultural impact like that means anything?

I'm not surprised but the hate people hold towards any show like this is genuinely weird.

I was literally asked this weekend if I'd seen it when I met up with some old friends

It's still pretty easy to sell ads on cable for things that people watch though.

The ad sales decreasing makes sense considering they absolutely gutted stuff like TNT and TBS. Harder to sell ads on reruns of things. It's been weird to see them advertise stuff like Silicon Valley on TBS so hard like it is a new show and won't just be a watered down rerun of what people that want to have already seen.

Not really, while Rick was the main character the focus of the Walking Dead was never Rick. The whole story is about a group of survivors in a zombie apocalypse.

SpongeBob is about this misadventures of a character and his friends.

So your idea of a real writer is what? Casting different people? Someone else's job?

What makes someone a real writer?

Pretty sure it's some of the ones that had the recent password sharing crack down roll out.

Seems like a fine enough sitcom premise. I like both of them, so I'd give it a chance. The CBS of it all is worrisome but Ghosts is good so you never know.

On another note it's weird that this post was downvoted. Seems like anything outside of redditcore shows has a hard time here which is sad.

Planet Earth

I don't really see how anyone can honestly believe that the episode was a 1/10. Even if you didn't like it there were lots of redeeming qualities that would bump it up a few points. The only reason to give it a 1/10 is to review bomb it and the only motivation for that is being against the content of the episode.

I feel like anyone that considers it filler really missed the point.

Sure I'm not trying to act like it's a unique thing. Maher just has years of television showing it happen

They will keep shows that have the right audience for their budget while trying out new shows to reach people and cancelling what isn't working.

The same as every TV distributor ever since the beginning of TV

They literally just had an interview with the CEOs talking about their strategy.

You can also look at what they've renewed and canceled and get an idea of how successful things are with their top 10s.

It seems like the literal opposite of their strategy

"cancel one of your most successful shows"

Genius stuff

Maher is a pretty interesting showcase of how ideology progresses and how many people that may be seen as liberal overtime if they stay mostly the same end up closer to the right.

I'll never understand why playlists aren't a thing. Or shuffle. Streaming services have so many features they could steal from music.

It goes from nepotism to nepo baby when the person benefiting tries to act like they didn't benefit and got to where they are on talent or will alone.

>After giving away James Bond’s “007” title

This is such a moronic take. The whe point of that title is that it would get passed to someone if Bond didn't have it.

>and Indiana Jones hat/whip to HERSELF (and making herself the star of the movie)

The movie she didn't write and all 3 credited writers are men?

Figured it out I guess? At best she could have tried to find someone to talk to but that would be both bad television and not exactly a solid plan.

And she's supposed to just run away from him to the police, where she doesn't know the location of or have any means of finding them?

Or stick with the person you've been with for a few days, sleeping with, that doesn't seem to putting you in any danger even if they are not trustworthy?
