2018-19 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Perfectionist Horseman commits perjury, held In Contempt

Tuesday night's ratings. I'm not really sure who ABC's "1969" is meant for since no one is watching it:
This is the first time I've heard of it, and I watch a couple of ABC shows. According to Google, it's been on for a month. Oh well.
Pick your poison, either A) only people who were born before 1969 are watching it or B) only 1969 people watched it.
The renewal is more surprising to me than the TBS move. Odd in any case...
No joke I think you've actually sold me on it with your relentless hype. It's in my queue 💅
Old people... don't really don't like 1969. And not much else.
Also, the Clinton alternate reality comes to an end this fall.

I tried to Google 1969 to get the blurb about the show that Google usually has on an entertainment search page. Nothing showed up and the top links were to just watch it on ABCs site. I don't really care about that so I didn't even bother to give it a shot and look into it more.
There were some articles while it was airing about them approaching it as an anthology.
Snowpiercer getting renewed despite not premiering for another year is kinda wild.
Yeah, I think they'd said it could be an anthology thing before. It was an amusing show, so I'm interested especially with the same core cast.
Yeah,
Yeah, I read a couple stories about that this morning. They kinda tip-toe around the cause of the show's cancellation, just saying that a person who had been on the show and caught lying during a lie-detector test died a few days later. I'm guessing that person committed suicide and it's being presumed that the show drove him to do it.
It's a shame that it took a suicide to elicit change but at least such a toxic show no longer will ruin (or end) lives.

Not especially. After two seasons, it feels like wasted potential. Every episode makes it seem like you're on the cusp of something amazing happening, and then not very much happens.
It's also a show with world-building that works better the less you think about it. From the mermaids and their culture, to their historical interactions with humans in the show, and even several of the human institutions. They're all shallow pastiches that act like they have something to say, then never dive very deep into the implications of it.
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are being heavily courted by networks to be the duo's new home.
The C.W. - Netflix deal is dead.
I'd expect some really big numbers to be thrown around for the two.

What it means:
I can't believe how much CW wants to keep people from watching their shows. This is getting old.
Welp, guess I'm never gonna watch any Arrowverse reruns in a year or two.
God, the streaming service future sucks ass. Somehow it managed to become worse than cable in an alarmingly short amount of time.

seems unlikely that they wouldn't; CW shows have been pretty successful for them
I mean, who else would? They might for shows like "Katy Keene" which are part of the Archieverse, but "Nancy Drew", "All-American", and shows like that are probably never going to find second-life again. "All-American" might be the last time Netflix viewership "saves" a show.
Sure did. People called it too but I was naively hopeful. I don't know how this industry can look at history and not see it's a mistake. People will flock to pirating again if they continue to fragment the landscape. My hope is that in some nebulous future there will be a consolidation again but it's going to take a number of the services falling flat on their face before it happens
Riverdale in particular is pretty big for Netflix. This whole thing is BS. What's wrong with Netflix for real, why do they feel they want to lose everything.
I don't think this is because of Netflix. I think it was a decision by CBS/Warner Brothers. Both of those corporations have their own proprietary streaming services and both don't see the value anymore in having one service taking up all their network's output domestically.
Yeah, if they can make more money sending their shows to CBSAA or Warner Streaming then they'd be dumb not to. Even if Netflix does keep some shows, CBS/WB streaming services will bid up the price for Netflix to keep what they do.
Yeah I think you're right. Still not happy about it though. I'm so sick of all these upcoming streaming services to be honest.
Cut the cord, and then replace it with sixteen new ones!
It's somehow turning out to be more expensive than cable.
Since Berz isn't here to defend himself I'd like to take this time to tell him that Lone Star is the best show ever and if he does not respond in two days his silence will be taken as an agreement of this statement of fact
Its crazy to me that Amazing Race 32 filmed last November and won't air till April or May of 2020.
Ratings are starting to worry me though that it doesn't have too many seasons left.

Good on Goggins for getting paid, but this just makes me want another season of Casual with Goggins as a widower that hangs out with Alex.
"Past seasons of CW series that premiered through the current 2018-19 season, such as The Flash and Riverdale, will continue to stream on Netflix during the broadcast life of the series and beyond."
They got banned, but no ban message when I last checked.
Goggins is such a weird pick for that role. Not like he'll be bad at it but doesn't play to his strengths at all.
Hopefully it lasts a couple seasons and he gets paid and then gets back to playing weirdos and pyschos. Like a beardless Manzoukas.

TBS programming dramas kind of dilutes the brand - now there's no real difference between TNT and TBS. Odd, especially when you consider that TNT only has 2 dramas right now in Claws and Animal Kingdom. If they were flooded with shows, it might make sense to dump some of the overflow onto TBS, but taking their highest profile new drama and sticking it on their comedy channel strikes me as misguided.
Oh boy...
Did you think studios would leave money on the table? This shit was called years ago.
There was a hiccup with the ban message not being visible to all users, but I contacted a mod about it and it's been corrected. They got a 1 week ban for this post.
Netflix seems to be under the misguided belief that they'll be okay with their original content and their streams of international shows
I was like "What's the big deal" and then I saw the last reply. lol
