I've only seen the pilot at this point, but yeah.

I usually wait until I've finished the 4th episode before pulling the trigger on a show.

> Kevin Sorbo is an MAGA, anti-vax, asshole

You forgot evangelical zealot as well.

Maybe its me, but Duchovny would have been a disaster as Mr. White. Too good looking for a for a science guy, and generally played "soft spoken" characters. I definitely could see Broderick playing Walt.

I'm okay with that. Kevin Sorbo is a pretty mediocre actor.

I think its better with more context, longer version

And to the handful that still remember the show, "How many time loops would you guess Three had to go through before he could learn what he learned?"

So you're calling those 40 year old engineers, scientists, & project managers in senior positions to be less mentally competent than Joe Biden?

Yeah, but those 40 year olds aren't even in a position of responsibility, let alone PotUS.

His dad was an admiral.

Sssshhh, don't give Hollywood any ideas...

Tradition built around the fact that the UK is poor compared to the US. They just didn't have the money available after the war, and never could gather the kind of money that Hollywood could amass. So, they had less TV/movie productions, paid their actors less, and didn't have the characteristic of "filler" in their TV episodes.

Then they aren't stupid, from a shareholder's point of view.

No, I think this is being driven by the drying up of "easy" money. You need a lot of money to produce a TV show. Cheap lending allowed streaming media companies to generate content on a whim. But they won't have that money available anymore, and all media companies are going to have to alter their project investment strategies.

> with gutting content purely for tax write offs

What's wrong with that? They looked like losers if released anyway.

No premise is dumb if it succeeds to make money.

Coop's the closest thing to a newscaster that has any ratings on CNN. He's probably not going anywhere, unless CNN wan't to go with cheap, anonymous news hosts.

Its the new owner's company. They probably won't gut WarnerMedia much; its like throwing away its value. What will probably kill WarnerMedia is the economy. We saw an explosion in scripted content for the past decade because the cost of borrowing money was cheap. All that money is drying up in interest rates. WM, as all streaming companies, will have to be pickier about what they produce, and less scattershot media production.

I'm way more annoyed at MSNBC running Dateline reruns on the weekend. Also, CNN kept running those documentaries on a loop, in order to cut down operational costs of a slow news weekend.

Hardly. Documentary format is a great way to spin a non-Trump right wing POV.

A shame. It was the Obama era. Trump's 4 years could be covered as a decade in itself.

Chris Licht has no pals at CNN; he's a hired commando looking to eliminate as many management positions as he can manage without fatally crippling the network's news collection.

TV networks have had some success with scripted shows, but that doesn't mean they can match the economics of reality TV.

Eh, I still prefer Bourdain, but obviously CNN didn't create his shows.

They should move to that title when Tucci inevitably moves from Italian cuisine to French, and other hoity toity cuisines.

Typical "woke" morons who think they can bully an out, homosexual cinematic genius into molding his show to an artistically dead propaganda vehicle. Go back to shipping Batwoman!

Also, before streaming, popular shows would have a second airing that week, and they'd rerun the entire season over the summer, because "the big three" wouldn't release new content over the summer.

I get really pissed off now that FIOS doesn't make previous seasons of their broadcast/cable network shows available for free "on demand". I deliberately won't bother checking out Ghosts (CBS) in its second season, because I'm not paying for a Paramount+ subscription to watch Ghosts first season, and I don't torrent on a whim anymore.
