And the the season is onl 13 eps, might as well finish it. What else do they got to show? That is how shows lose steam or audiences forget about them
They're showing football the next couple of weeks which sadly matters more than The Good Place's ratings. :(
I wish they'd have just schedlued it on another night from the beginning and ran it without interruption.

WTF Netflix has their own cooking show now? Yeesh, that format will be everywhere now. Maybe Seeso should have done Comedians Cooking.

Did Collider's TV Talk get cancelled itself? LOL
Looks especially funny with it almost immediately after they were ranting about Supergirl and complaining about watching what they want to.

'SMILF' Scores Strong Start on Showtime, 'Shameless' Soars
According to Nielsen data, "SMILF" pulled in 768,000 viewers in its initial airing at 10 p.m. and added a little less than 250,000 additional viewers with two additional airings that night, bringing its premiere night total to 1.01 million. That is not including the 440,000 whom Showtime says sampled the series early on demand and streaming.
"SMILF" also had the good fortune of airing immediately after the Season 8 premiere of "Shameless." This season's premiere was the show's highest-rated since Season 3, drawing in 1.86 million viewers in its initial airing at 9 p.m. That is an approximate improvement of 50 percent compared to the Season 7 premiere, which drew 1.24 million viewers. When two additional airings are factored in, "Shameless" pulled in 2.17 million viewers for the night.

What's the show? I don't have Netflix right now but if that's interesting enough I might resubscribe earlier than planned cause I totally need more tv to watch.

Glad to hear the ratings for Shameless are so good, it's one of the best shows on TV. Maybe the show being on Netflix has helped bring in extra viewers?

The Great British Family Cook Off or something? It feels almost like bake off but the gimmick is that it's families going against each other and it's not just limited to pastries.

I really need to get back to shameless. I stopped watching after season 4 ended and I don't know why since I loved it.

I could definitely see something like that happening

Yeah it seems like a real possibility, it seems like Netflix helped increase the ratings of Riverdale.

Funny how all these companies are moving away from Netflix and starting their own service when we seem to be seeing multiple shows get ratings bumps due to being on Netflix.

Yeah that is pretty ironic. I believe The Good Place probably had a similar situation where it was helped and made more popular through Netflix as well

Anyone know the artist/song (for sure) of the song playing at the beginning of Shameless last night?

Lyrics went something like:
Sugar cane
Dance with the devil
Sugar cane
Blood like a rebel

Had a very southern/bluesy sound to it. Searched and saw some site claim it was "Sugar Cane" by PRETTYDEEP but I can't find it streaming anywhere.

The PrettyDeep facebook page says the song featuring Foster Olson will be released soon.

It's really not.

But I can't stop watching, so I suppose it's entertaining.

I appreciate OP putting ending shows in parenthesis, but what I don't get is....why do people bitch and moan and correlate ending with cancellation? Fringe ended, Lost ended, Chuck ended, they all ended yet people cry fowl that they got cancelled instead.

I'm noticing the same shit (thankfully not here! ...yet) with regards to The Strain and 12 Monkeys.

'Dietland': Julianna Margulies To Star In AMC's Drama Series From Marti Noxon

The Good Wife alumna Julianna Margulies is returning to TV with a starring role opposite lead Joy Nash in Dietland, AMC's 10-episode straight-to-series darkly comedic drama based on Sarai Walker's novel, which is set for a 2018 premiere.

Dietland, from Marti Noxon (UnReal), Skydance TV and AMC Studios, is set against the backdrop of the beauty industry. It follows Plum Kettle (Nash), an obese woman who is preparing for weight-loss surgery when her world is upturned by two rival feminist factions. Caught between old ideas and radical new extremes, Plum must decide for herself what it means to be a revolutionary as the "war of the sexes" becomes literal.

Margulies will play Kitty Montgomery, a wildly ambitious magazine editor whose world is thrown into chaos when a feminist terrorist organization starts targeting people in her orbit. Sucked into a terrifying news cycle, Kitty no longer can rely on her old-school media power and instead must play a whole new game of master manipulation where rules no longer apply.

Netflix Orders Big-Budget Drama Doc Series From Jane Root's Nutopia
Netflix has ordered a big-budget historical drama doc series from Jane Root's Nutopia as a new structure for its original series begins to emerge.

The Last Czars follows the fall of the Russian Imperial Romanov family, run by Tsar Nicholas II, who were killed in 1918 following the February Revolution. It will be a mix of documentary and reconstruction.
...
The series has been tagged as a Netflix Alternative commission, emerging from its fledgling non-scripted series division, overseen by executives including Nat Grouille and Brandon Reigg, who greenlit the show.

The move is understood to differentiate shows from the non-scripted side of the business to its high-end drama and comedy series, such as The Crown and Stranger Things, which form part of its Netflix Originals strand.

And in much weirder Netflix commissions:
Brit Drama 'Top Boy' Gets New Season On Netflix With Drake Exec-Producing
British drama series Top Boy is getting a new season on Netflix. Created and written by Ronan Bennett, the series chronicling two drug dealers at an East London housing estate will return for a third chapter in 2019 as a Netflix original.

Top Boy aired for two seasons on broadcast in the UK before ending in 2013. Both of the original seasons are globally available on Netflix.
...
Also exec-producing this time around will be entertainer and producer Drake and his business partner Adel "Future" Nur, along with Maverick Carter and Jamal Henderson for SpringHill Entertainment.
This one is even more puzzling than the Amazon revival of Ripper Street.

How's it puzzling?

Drake's got a lot of sway with the youths, or so I hear. When this show inevitably premieres, a Drake Instagram post, coupled with a guest appearance and maybe even an original song or two, should get a lot of social media posts & buzz. See: "Neo Yokio."

And hey, it might even be good?

Maybe just sticking to "weird" would have been better phrasing. But it's a five year old show that never set the world on fire in ratings or awards, and I'm still not clear on how Drake got involved in all of this.

It's a bit like (emphasis on bit) if Adele teamed up with Hulu to revive Mob City.
Also, I couldn't find a good analogue, so I know it makes what I'm trying to say even wonkier.

The THR article details it a bit more, but essentially, Drake saw some of the series on YouTube and really liked it. The show also stars quite a few grime musicians. So, coupled with the fact that he's been musically linked to some of grime's bigger figures like Skepta and Giggs, Drake's doing this not only because he likes the show but also because it gives him more musical clout when it comes to working with grime artists.

Amazon Orders 'The Boys' Superhero Drama Series Based On Comic From Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen
Amazon has greenlit superhero drama The Boys to series with an eight-episode order. Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson, it was created by Supernatural creator and Timeless co-creator Eric Kripke and will be directed by the Preacher duo of Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. The project hails from Sony Pictures TV Studios, which will co-produce with Amazon, and Neal H. Moritz's studio-based Original Films.

The Boys marks the first green light since the recent executive shakeup at Amazon Studios, which led to the exits of head Roy Price and head of comedy and drama Joe Lewis. The Boys, which had been in development at Amazon for several months, is part of the company's push into genre programming, spearheaded by Sharon Tal Yguado, who is now Head of Scripted Series for Amazon Studios. It is the first series order under that programming initiative and also is part of Amazon's recent shift toward more straight-to-series orders and fewer pilots.

The Boys re-teams the key auspices behind AMC's Preacher, which also hails from Goldberg, Rogen and their Point Grey Pictures, Sony TV and Original Films and also is based on a comic co-created/written by Ennis.

Like with Preacher, which had gone though numerous TV and feature incarnations over 16 years until it was finally made by AMC, The Boys also has had a long development history. Over the past nine years, it had been in the works as a movie at Columbia Pictures and Paramount. The TV series adaptation from Kripke, Goldberg, Rogen, Original Film and Sony TV was originally set up for development at Cinemax last year. The Boys comic, which like Preacher pushes the envelope on violent content, ran for 72 issues from 2008-2012, published initially by Wildstorm (#1-6) and then by Dynamite Entertainment.

In a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, The Boys centers on a group of vigilantes known informally as "the boys," who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.

Josh Groban To Star Opposite Tony Danza In 'The Good Cop' Netflix Series
In his first major TV role, singer-songwriter and actor Josh Groban has been cast as the co-lead opposite Tony Danza in The Good Cop, a 10-episode straight-to-series father-son dramedy crime procedural for Netflix.
Uh. Sure.
The THR article details it a bit more, but essentially, Drake saw some of the series on YouTube and really liked it. The show also stars quite a few grime musicians. So, coupled with the fact that he's been musically linked to some of grime's bigger figures like Skepta and Giggs, Drake's doing this not only because he likes the show but also because it gives him more musical clout when it comes to working with grime artists.
Somehow this doesn't make it less weird to me. Then the above Groban thing was announced so this is no longer the weirdest musician+Netflix collab today.
Was just about to post this. RatskyWatsky you've been talking about this one a bunch no?
