Not really sure what your implication is. I don't have a "brand" I'm trying to project out there. All I ever do when I talk about the industry is offer my own insights, and occasionally share some information/things I've heard if I'm not under any sort of agreement to keep it secret and don't particularly know people involved.
Admittedly, it might just be a personal preference of mine -- but when I check the trades I never look at TVLine. Nothing against Michael Ausiello, but the articles on Deadline (sister site or no), Variety, and THR just tend to be better. In this particular case I was literally looking at the article TV Line ran and how it had nothing of substance past the statement. Comparatively, the deadline article corroborating it (Which I hadn't seen at the time) was much more fleshed out and felt to me like a more solid depiction of the news.
Just so we're all clear, there won't be a new episode of "Mom" until Thursday, April 4. So don't expect to see it in the ratings charts (unless there's a rerun) until then.
Yeah. It was The Middle I was thinking of. CityTV aired it a day earlier in Canada.
Oh okay. Gives me time to catch up on things.
I was just curious because Big Bang Theory got listed as a rerun, and I had seen Mom on my guide.

#AmericanGods Renewed for Season 3, With #TheShield EP as New Showrunner https://tvline.com/2019/03/15/american-gods-renewed-season-3-starz/ … via @kimroots
I'm loving American Gods, even if the new season isn't as grandiose or surreal as the first season, so I'm insanely excited for a third season. I was concerned when there was the story of showrunners slowly backing away when offered a third season, haha. Now that it's more straightforward, hopefully it gains some more fans heading toward a third season.
With the upcoming tenth anniversary of Glee, it reminds me how very little these actors have achieved since. Hyped up so much back then, and the only breakout stars are the villain and the scrappy new lead. Darren Criss is the only one that is still somewhat relevant outside of those.
-Wins golden globe and an Emmy.
-"Somewhat relevant"
That aside, how often do TV actors ever really breakout beyond their hit show? I'd say Glee's yield is pretty much par for the course
Somewhat relevant because aside from Versace he did like one or two episodes a year. And now he is the lead in the upcoming Batman Vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From such a huge cast, you would expect more. Even Friends you had each of them failing a huge new show every year.
I guess whatshername is Supergirl and I assume the good singers ended up in theater or recording music.
It could be worse, you could be turning 40 this year like I am.
Finally decided to watch Videos After Dark...
This is terrible. Why did they think we wanted Bob Saget doing his weird voices again...
Just give my crass and dirty Saget but then again, this is on network TV...
So really what's the point of this? Kids saying swear words?
I won't be watching again which is unfortunate because I've always enjoyed Saget but this is like him at his worst imo.

Hahaha, Bob Saget is hosting this? In 2019? Hahahahahhaha
Stable Idol.Sunday night's ratings:
First time watching a Shark Tank in full...most of the stuff is like, Id never buy that, a flotation cube experience for 150$ a month? Too much. Vegan dogfood treats for an expensive price, too much.

HBO Asia Unveils Three Original Series + renews coming-of-age Taiwan drama Teenage Psychic
Am I posting this solely for the Food Lore pun (HBO Asia previously did a show called Folklore)? No, but it's a significant factor!
Syfy Nabs 'Wayward Children' Book Series for TV
I was almost gonna say that the premise seems interesting, but my hate for Be More Chill is gonna override it. God, Be More Chill sucks (Stephen Sondheim agrees).

Maybe the $15 price includes Apple Music?

That seems like the best choice.
For a while, Apple Music had a Video tab that just included original documentaries and Carpool Karaoke. $15 for some high profile TV shows and all the music you can stream on your AirPods™, Apple TV™, CarPlay™, and more devices tied into the Apple ecosystem is not a terrible deal. Ultimately, if you're tied into the Apple ecosystem, this deal is for you. If you're not, this deal is awful especially since iTunes runs like shit on Windows and you're probably going to need an Apple TV to access the content.
However, considering Spotify premium is now giving Hulu Premium w/ ads for free, this deal looks worse than ever.
It's a race between the music streaming services to figure out who can spend the least on actual music artists by funneling subscription fees to video projects!

Apple fans will pay whatever Apple asks, no matter how unreasonable
It'll probably be something like the Apple Music free trial program.

BRYAN FULLER STRIKES AGAIN!
Apple's not bulletproof. The feedback so far from producers and directors has been less than stellar. On top of that, count on Apple to do something stupid like only make the service available on Apple TV, a random TV mfr, iOS devices, and a web browser.
Deadline has an interesting write-up about why Netflix shows are unable to find new homes after they are cancelled, and what this could mean for the freshly-cancelled "One Day at a Time." Apparently, they are trying to change up how we watch TV and have very little interest in keeping shows around after 2-3 seasons, unless it's a big breakout hit like "Stranger Things," "Grace and Frankie," "House of Cards," and "Orange is the New Black."
Even if a show does pretty well--like the recently cancelled Marvel shows--other things, such as salary negotiations, episode counts, and overall budget constraints, could hold them up and prevent them from getting renewed:
It's a pretty batty--and unfair--method of how Netflix treats its shows once they're done with them (in my opinion). It's as if they refuse to spend any more money on them, but at the same time won't let any other streaming network have it.
Their desire of limiting shows to just a few seasons can be both good and bad, seeing how often shows tend to go way past their sell-by date ("Modern Family," "The Big Bang Theory," and "The Office" are a few shows that many people complain should've ended years before they actually did), but at the same time, why tease fans and the people who make the show with the possibility of a new season if the chances are most likely against them? Just set it up as a 2-3 season show and let it have a beginning, middle, and end.

Netflix has learned that the complaints people have about their shows might be worth considering.
Looks like Starz has scrubbed all traces of Counterpart from their website and app - I can't think of why they would do this unless the rights have been purchased by another company. Season three incoming?
I have my problems with Netflix, but limiting shows to a few seasons is awesome and I love it. Most shows don't really need more than three seasons.
Yeah, was odd to see that posted. Wouldn't it also be strange for them to not retain streaming rights for the first couple seasons if someone else bought it?
My boyfriend says that all the time too, and ever since he first started saying it, it's like my eyes have been opened to how many shows are so good because they're only 3 seasons long ("Happy Endings," "Arrested Development" before it was revived, and now "One Day at a Time" come to mind) or start to get bad shortly after.
Kinda how I felt after Travelers. Like, yeah, it could have gone on for 10 more years with a "what mission are they on this week?!" format, but the way it ended after three seasons made it more satisfying.
The problem is that Netflix seems to be limiting shows to a few seasons without actually telling the creators of the shows so they can plan accordingly, which is shitty.
Maybe they're having a temporary dispute with the production company (or maybe someone bought the streaming rights from them...)
