No, you're right. She and her mom/manager are very difficult to work with. There's a reason why she could only do cat litter commercials for a while.
Ha, had no idea about the cat litter. Gonna have to look that up later and check for video. I'm kind of surprised when actors get jobs when being know to be hard to work with. She doesn't seem like a big draw. What I know her for best is her CBS show dying incredibly quick
When she was on Grey's, she was a draw. When Shonda kicked her out on her ass, her star power plummeted.
No it didn't. She went on to become a movie star before falling like a rock into an ocean.
Next they need to announce they have hired Ted McGinley and the whole spaxe/time continuum will collapse with so much concentrated cancellation power.
Fuck, what happened to Lethal Weapon?So strange, what happened last week?
The Flash and Black Lightning rose to about the mid-season premiere numbers
Look at the movies she did pre-and post-Grey's. Almost every one in production since she was fired bombed. Meanwhile, Knocked Up and 27 Dresses both made bank.
Pretty sure it was a repeat episode last night when I passed it channel surfing.
Not to mention that when she was out promoting Knocked Up, she was straight-up trashing the movie, making the people who worked on it and other Apatow-related projects not wanting to work with her ever again.
Is that coincidental with Heigl's behavior back then or did Shonda have that much clout already?
Probably both. It was also a little after she shat all over Knocked Up. Who wants to hire someone who shits on the movies she stars in?
Holy shit, Julian Fellowes' "The Gilded Age" is finally going to debut in 2019. Logline in bold.
Anyway, watch this show become a huge bomb and be the first cancellation of the season.
I remember reading about this show what felt like a couple years ago. I can't believe it's been 7 years since then, and I especially can't believe that NBC gave Fellowes all this time to get to to work on it. This kind of deal must be pretty rare now. I can really only imagine either Sam Esmail or Shonda Rhimes getting this kind of contract by a network.

Hahahaha holy shit, I forgot about that as well. She's a pill.

Everything Fellowes has done since Downton has more or less bombed.
It's almost as if he's not a good writer and Downton was a fluke hit despite being an exceedingly mediocre show.
I think there was one Mr. Robot episode last year that definitely hit 7-10 fuck's in one episode. I fell like they got really liberal with it.
I was shocked though when FEUD had "cunt". Now that's something I haven't heard outside of premium channels.
Random question, what do you all think Netflix will do with "Arrested Development" Season 5?
The Tambor accusations came out after Season 5 was said and done, so what do you think Netflix will do?
Way I see it, three roads lie ahead:
1) Postpone their internal release to some anomalous point in the future, so Hurwitz can either edit around Tambor or reshoot a significant portion of the season to avoid Tambor.
2) Wait for the Tambor accusations to die down and then release it. But then, this leads to the accusations coming back, Netflix being labeled awful words, and definitely some talent to leave their list of partners.
3) Not air it. This also seems unlikely because you'll have wasted tens of millions of dollars on one of your crown jewels that'll never see the light of day

Seal Team is weird in that they are supposed to be a close knit team, but there are just random extras as a part of the team because they don't have enough main characters. It's like the extras are redshirts, except they can't die because then it'd make the team look bad at their jobs.
lol, they even give the extras wives and families. It's like there should be a spinoff show about the guys who never get to say a word on this show.

Get Christopher Plumber and not mention the casting change.
They should blur out his face and make it something to do with contractual obligations with the storyline. That would solve everything.
But part of me thinks they'll just release it as is and weather the storm.
I would bet on nothing. They'll say the actions were done outside the purview of Netflix, that they were relatively minor, that the project was completed before anything was known, and that they'll reconsider or nix his involvement in any additional Arrested Development material. At this point we don't even know if anything is changing with his role on Transparent. He claimed to quit and then that was walked back and last we heard it was all up in the air.
I somehow didn't even notice that episode of Mr Robot. Must have just blended in easily to me. I do recall years ago when TBS wasn't serious about making good series they had a show Sullivan and Son that had the word 'shit' in it and that shocked me cause I didn't hear it on basic cable before. Also on Grownish on FreeForm cause I didn't with that channel was okay with that language. What changes what they can say on non-premium cable? FCC restrictions on TV loosening?
Also recall that Smallville had an accidental f-bomb that seemed to skip by. That was a real surprise lol
TVLine finally confirmed 'Still Star-Crossed' was the dumpster fire that ABC wanted to dump before it aired. Didn't work in keeping Shonda.
Rhimes didn't have that clout because Heigl still got Knocked Up. It is just that if you keep insulting the fans of your most popular works, those fans stop watching and your star power fades. Because even after Rhimes and Apatow, Heigl still got big roles. They didn't get her blacklisted. They just refused to bring her back on any of their works. TR Knight on the other hand, him I really thought was blacklisted.
Has nothing to do with the FCC since it's cable. It's just a matter of what audiences and advertisers will tolerate.
I only watched the first two seasons of Suits. It wasn't good enough for me to make the time for it and I think I only stayed that long because it was shot here.
Did the CW shows get delayed for NCAA basketball in a lot of markets last night? My PVR had to record them twice because of that. I guess that means the overnight ratings will be really off for those today.

She wasn't nominated, she withdrew her name from consideration. She wasn't wrong about the writing though, her season two storyline was basically one long character assassination.
Oh, had no idea. So technically they could have done this way sooner if advertisers had said it was okay. So the reason it is changing now is because these days advertisers are (mostly?) okay with it.
Gotcha. So it was just her screwing herself over completely, not with the help of any creator/director/writer.
Watching it weekly as it aired I recall watching a scene where it was kind of quiet in the background. If I recall correctly it was a scene in one episode where there are three teens standing near a pickup truck that blew up. The noise of the explosion was far and away the loudest part but very small in the backward it seems one of the guys said "Oh fuck". My brother and I looked at each other and apparently he heard it too. Unless we both mistook "Oh truck" for "Oh fuck". Always a chance there was a mistake but now I want to try and find it during the series again. Now that I write it out I'm feeling like I made a mistake but I swear I heard it lol.

I can totally see them doing that in post-production and making it a season-long joke. Have Ron Howard explain why the blurry face is there (let's say, because someone is out to get him or something) and BAM! you have a recurring gag.
Also, here's Wednesday night's ratings. 9-1-1 continuing to do well for Fox. Maybe they should pair it with Brooklyn Nine-Nine as a lead-in and call it a "Brooklyn Nine-Nine-9-1-1 night":

Lol. Try saying it out loud. I guarantee you'll want to slap yourself after saying it.
Wow. I would have put cash money on this going to Apple.
I'm assuming, given how much HBO is putting into it's proposed GOT spin-offs, that this will be leaning more on the sci-fi than the fantasy and not be cheap.
Show really went off a cliff for me. Hoping it gets back to those S1 heights. Haven't looked in the OT, are people enjoying it as much in general?
:/
It is amusing however, that HBO already has a show called Halfworlds through its Asia division, since Demimonde is simply French for half-world.
I'm looking forward to bitching about it on ResetEra when it airs in like five years.
