I nearly forgot Netflix spent all that money buying Millarworld then barely did dick with it.

They're doing just that with the upcoming Batman show.

iirc Beware's case was a result of CN just scrapping their DC Nation block entirely, and AS airing them because they were already finished. The Teen Titans GO! shorts, as well the full series created subsequently, were the only real hit they had with that DC effort. Young Justice and GL: TAS were both infamously axed due to low merch demand.

So it might just be a case of shows skewing older like you said. CN has done this before back in 2004 when Toonami moved to Saturday nights, as demos were skewing a little older and concerns about violence were giving some folks at CN cold feet.

I've been rewatching the original two seasons on Hulu. At one point two weeks ago the show was listed as expiring, and some episodes would have a bumper ahead of them telling you to sign up t for STARZ to watch the new season. Last week the expiring label disappeared, and I no longer get the bumper telling me about the new season.

Yes

Season 2 would see a name change to "Fleishman is in BIG Trouble!"

I'm enjoying it, though I'm only 2 episodes in. It really is a hybrid of Columbo and The Rockford Files.

I got a paid Peacock sub just to watch this show and it's astonishing that Peacock still has such a pathetic library relative to its competitors. I will say it was neat to be able to watch 24 Hours of Daytona, and if I were a bigger wrestling fan this would be neat but aside from Poker Face it looks like they're still the "What, you don't like The Office anymore?" streamer.

If this were on literally any other service barring maybe Starz it would indeed be bigger.

Or him subleasing his apartment from Paul Reiser's character in Mad About You?

I think the obvious one off the top of my head is Columbo being absolutely massive in Romania.

The original Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979 had a huge following among women, and didn't have the male traction you would think until the model kits were produced.

Not to mention that they had no other program to drive interest outside of wrestling to the point where they were marketing their price tiers based solely on how much Office you wanted to watch

To quote Vince Gilligan himself, "Without Tony Soprano there would be no Walter White"

I thought the whole ghost thing was out of place (which is odd when I loved the UFO in Season 2) and the whole thing with Satchel being Mike was too on the nose.

Still I love Salvatore Esposito and I'm glad he got to be in a Hollywood production.

Did you have a bulge and everything? I've been having odd faint pains in my lower left shortly after eating sometimes, but I don't think I've strained enough to develop a hernia. Just not sure what the deal is.

This is interesting. Back in July I had a bout of gastroenteritis that lasted five days, followed by a week of constipation. However afterwards my appetite was out of whack, I would have some mornings with extreme bowel urgency that made driving to work a huge pain, and I would get full pretty easily when eating. I thought I had developed IBS or gastroparesis, but the symptoms weren't severe enough nor fit with the diagnosing criteria (I have had no bowel-related abdominal pain since my initial illness, and my bowel movements have been largely consistent). I had two instances of heartburn, but that went away months ago. I eventually saw a Gastroenterologist and my lab results all came back negative. He suggested it was merely the illness combined with it being the most stressful period in my life (I was in the process of buying a new house and moving, going back to graduate school, and having the busiest time at my job I've ever had).

However the elephant in the room was that after my initial illness I had basically stopped eating. First it was the worry over the diarrhea, then it was the constipation, then finally it was concerns over IBS or food intolerances. The end result was that in about a month and a half I lost roughly 21 pounds. The problem now is that I only feel sensations of hunger maybe once or twice a day and even then it's most commonly after 9 PM. Furthermore when eating I'll get a faint feeling in my lower left stomach that ranges from pinching to twitching to just vague discomfort, which usually subsides in 5-15 seconds.

I've since gained back 3-4 pounds, but I can't seem to get any further than that and it's been 6 months since I was sick. My doctors don't seem concerned, but it's been a real pain since I've had to buy new belts to fit into some clothes I bought two days before I was sick.

It's worth noting that Funimation signed a big distribution deal with Hulu after they didn't renew their partnership with Crunchyroll. This deal is still being honored even after Sony bought CR and merged the two, but I'm curious how long it will last.

I'm kind of surprised that went down. Like I understand AMC was trying to expand its catalog/portfolio and Sentai was not in a favorable position in terms of licensing as it attempts to compete for licenses with an ever-stronger and well-connected Sony and high-spender Netflix. However I'm not sure if there was any benefit to being owned by AMC for them.

IFC is such a bummer now. Back in 08 I had a friend who had one of the fancier cable packages and that summer they would air big blocks of Whitest Kids U Know, which was a real treat for my basic cable ass.
