A Christmas Story Live did ... OK? About as well as their cartoon lineup usually does, I think.

I'm going to try something new with my spring TV thread as a way of keeping things fresh for the new era - instead of doing one big thread that covers Jan-Apr, I'm going to do a new thread each month, for the first 4 months. If people aren't digging it, I'll just go back to the old method for the summer and fall seasons.
Not only will this make my life significantly easier, it also will help to make the latter month's schedules more robust and focused - premiere dates for shows airing in March and April generally aren't available when I make my thread in late December (there are only around 5 things on my spreadsheet for April at the moment), so the schedules for those months have always been a little sparse at first (same with July and August for the summer thread, as well as November and December for the fall thread) meaning I have to constantly update the thread whenever new dates get announced, leaving me to wonder if anyone actually notices because how could they unless they go over the thread everyday with a fine toothed comb? (I could always just make a new post every time I updated the OP, but I would rack up like a bunch of double, tripe, quadruple, etc. posts and no one wants that!).
It'll also be less overwhelming to scroll through the "new tv" section, where there are usually like 60 different descriptions each time. People might be more inclined to actually read through all of them now since there won't be so many! :]
So stay tuned for the January 2018 TV Show Thread or What TV shows are you watching - Jan 2018 edition - thread or whatever it is that I decide to call it, at the end of this month!

With how much stuff is coming out every month now this sounds like a welcome change. Peak TV!
Poor Max Landis. I didn't even watch this season though.... I wonder if it actually ended.
It's a bummer because there were only two episodes left :(
Maybe they spend a bit of time and money and scrub him from the episodes and air them? Or maybe they are lost to time forever. Personally, I would have been fine with a black screen with ABCs statement before each hour stating his ass has been canned and they won't be working with him in the future, but at the time this was filmed they didn't know.
Aw. That's a sad one. I liked the show but I just didn't have the time or the energy to add season 2 to my watchlist this year. I was planning on catching up after I leave my job today.
Hope all the actors snap up new jobs ASAP.
I tried watching A Christmas Story last night, and lost interest about halfway through. I still think Grease or maybe Hairspray last year are still my favorite Live productions.
At first I was like, you don't like A Christmas Story?! But then I realized the implications...
THEY DID A LIVE VERSION OF A CHRISTMAS STORY?!!?
Lol, no I love A Christmas Story. Watching the marathon of it on TBS every year is practically a Christmas tradition for me.At first I was like, you don't like A Christmas Story?! But then I realized the implications...
THEY DID A LIVE VERSION OF A CHRISTMAS STORY?!!?
Yeah, it was a family tradition in my house too. We always had it on as the backdrop for my great aunt's Christmas Eve party at her house. But around age 75 my great aunt got too old for this shit and moved the party to a restaurant instead of her house.
They did A Christmas Story live? I had no idea.
Wouldn't have watched it anyways. I saw snippets of Sound of Music and it was awful.

We may be getting an Office revival...

Vanity Fair: Has A Christmas Story Live! Killed the Live TV Musical for Good?
And you know what, based on this one song I really hope it did kill the genre (and I love musicals):

Issa Rae takes over the world: HBO Developing Issa Rae EP'd Male Dating Comedy & Windsor Hills Set Drama
This is in addition to:
Issa Rae Developing '90s L.A. Drama With HBO & 'Turner House' Author
Issa Rae Pitching Dystopian Sci-Fi Drama As Part of Diverse Writers' Scheme
In addition to Insecure season 3
I think this is would be the first show that has a bisexual man starring and with an emphasis on his bisexuality.

Oh the one hand, this may be the only change a lot of people have to basically experience live theater.
On the other hand, eww. lol
No Steve Carell and a mix of old and new cast members? Hard pass.
Not even Greg Daniels is fully on board.
I had a feeling. The show really tried to do too much in season 2. I didn't really have much hope for a third season.
I'm in the minority but I didn't mind the A Christmas Story Live performance...
I thought Chris Diamantopoulos actually did a fine job as the Old Man (I'm serious)
The kids were a bit loud but everyone did alright, even Matthew Broderick.
Only flub was Maya Rudolph flubbed the word stuffing that turkey and said tuffing that surkey.

I think it's less that the format is dead and more that people don't really care about a musical version of A Christmas Story. Most people only know the movie so they don't have a connection to the musical numbers like the other productions. Everyone needs to watch the trainwreck that was Peter Pan Live though, just to see a Christopher Walken that doesn't give a fuck.
I made it 30 seconds into that video and I just... I can't.
No thanks, they only made two good seasons in the original run.
I literally had a dream last night that I was watching the new show with a new cast.. They had moved dunder mifflin out of the main building, but into a strip mall location.. the interior was identical, but it was in a sunny/southern location instead of scranton.. you could see out into the parking lot through the main doors, instead of vance refrigeration.
So weird.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I hate you Cornballer :(
Oh boy. I already struggled to watch the last episodes after Michael left and Pam became a boring mom.
Man its weird seeing Dog on Hawaii 5-0 and knowing exactly what was going on behind the scenes and happening with him during his appearances this season.
Sad to see it go. Oh well, I guess now Landis has time to guest star on another Best of the Worst Neil Breen review.
Yes. It has the same problem as every spy show where everyone keeps betraying and working together but the cast makes up for that.
I enjoyed the first season of Dirk but couldn't get into the second. I didn't really like the fantasy alternate world at all.
Thanks, I keep passing it on Netflix and being tempted but never paid enough attention when it aired to know if it was worth bothering.
Maggie Q really grew on me in Designated Survivor so thats playing in as well.
It doesn't end on the strongest note but it actually miraculously got an end and it's overall a fairly engaging show. A bit low budget-ish in that Buffy way but it has enough exciting twists and turns that keep it entertaining. It's filled with some spy story tropes where alliances shift and turn completely on their heads, but at least to me it didn't feel too easy to predict.
