Sounds like the next season of “The Morning Show” has new material to pull from!

If I had, would that change the fact that this is cheap reality programming? Or that better shows on Netflix have been canceled?

Cheap reality program renewed for seven seasons. Meanwhile interesting stuff gets canceled.

People who love a bargain don’t give a shit about customer abuse. See also Spirit Airlines.

Shameful if true.

The problem is if MGM doesn’t have enough programming to support stand alone subscriptions. I guess we’ll find out. Personally, I’d just farm out the content to other channels to bring in revenue, rather than try to make it a single channel.

In contrast to the other thread gloating that they added subscribers. Also, they missed projected earnings by over 70% last quarter.

“The company's earnings came in at $55.28 million, or $0.12 per share. This compares with $607.43 million, or $1.33 per share, in last year's fourth quarter.”

So, raised prices, added subscribers, started showing ads — and yet earnings are way down. Could explain the program cancellations. Still having to pinch pennies.

“No vague titles”. Such a stupid rule.

Funny isn’t the word I would use. More like, “complete bullshit.” They’ll turn a blind eye to obviously pirated content, but then cease and desist someone over five seconds of a song on the radio in the background.

“1%”: Motorcycle gang meth cartel. I think it was trying to be “motorcycle gang Sopranos” but it’s just bad. Everyone needs to take a shower and wash their hair. Lots of motorcycles. Lots of idiocy. I can see why HBO passed on this one. Written by the guy who brought us “Deep Impact” and the Miles Teller Godfather mini series.

Let’s not forget the question was about NEW shows, not returning ones.

“Transylvania Rising”: Gets better as it goes along. Feels a bit like “Once Upon A Time” but with monsters like Dracula and the Wolfman. Kind of fun, and has a mystery element woven in. Needed a better show name.

“The Coven”: A bad Charmed knock off. Has some good actors in it, including Illyana Douglass. But the show is very CW paint by numbers. Stuff like this makes me think of all the hard working people in Hollywood who get so excited when they land a pilot. You never know if it’s going to be a hit or not.

In the US, I think it’s on Peacock.

They are test shows that were filmed years ago and never picked up.

“Taxman”: Awful awful sitcom based in an IRS office in Iowa. I couldn’t finish it (and it’s only 20 minutes long). Martin Short plays the head of the department. Lead actor tries, but the material is bad. There’s some North Korean character with a bad accent and a bad wig. Yikes! Also, two sidekicks who refuse to answer the phone who are more interesting than the rest of the show.

Also features Kerry Kinney and Orlando Jones. Actually has an IMDb page if you want to read more.

“Life On The Hill”: not too bad for a sitcom. Surprised it didn’t get picked up (though hopefully they would have dumped the voiceover).

Wendy Malick plays a Nancy Pelosi like figure on Capitol Hill, and Mark Moses from Desperate Housewives is her foil from across the aisle. Plot is focused mostly on the misadventures of the younger subordinates who try to keep things working in her office. Think Spin City meats HIMYM. Also features Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy fame. Humor could have been just a touch more cynical. Fun potential for additional humorous caricatures of lobbyists, senators, etc. as the show went on.

“The Way” is another witchcraft-centered pilot with some pretty big names. Jane Alexander, Peter Strauss, Andrew McCarthy, all slumming it in some corporate intrigue nighttime soap opera where rival corporations are owned by different families of actual witches. Weird concept. Felt very ABC but actually appears to be a Paramount/Sony coproduction? Not sure where the fad came from that every show needed to be about witches.

Farking autocorrect.

Yes. Something about constantly coming into onto women on set.

Andor was mine until the season ended. Not really watching much right now. Patiently waiting for Gilded Age to come back on, and to see if Last Of Us turns out to be any good.

No. It does not. The first season was the best season. Then AMC ran off the show runner and it devolved.
