First time I even heard about this show tbh.Obviously the statement implies TV was alright, but not way better. I mean, the fucking "Kominsky Method" won 2 awards.

Yikes. (Based on the first four episodes.)
Huh? This seems like something to get a rise out of people. Ozark is excellent.
Netflix's upcoming 'Sex Education' (ft. Gillian Anderson) is getting good reviews - Sepinwall is favorably comparing it to American Vandal and Big Mouth. Anyone making the OT?
Yeah, I saw the trailer this past week. It's looks really really good.you had me at Big Mouth and American Vandal
edit: the trailer is good, I hadnt even given it a thought because of the title tbh.

Grey's Anatomy S15 is extended to 25 episodes:

I completely forgot Amazon was doing a Hanna series based on the 2011 movie.
Might as well just go ahead and extend the show to 25 seasons tbh
Hulu added 8 million subscribers in 2018 to end the fiscal year with more than 25 million total subscribers across its subscription on-demand and live TV services.
The company, which will soon be controlled by Disney after years of equal ownership shared by majority stakeholders Disney, NBCUniversal and Fox, has seen a dramatic 48% year-over-year increase in subscribers.
In making the announcement, for years an annual ritual timed to CES in Las Vegas, Hulu said the figure "catapults" it ahead of the nation's largest cable and satellite television providers. Given that most of the 25 million are subscribing to the main Hulu SVOD offering and not the pay-TV bundle, however, that comparison doesn't seem completely apples to apples. Hulu also still trails Netflix, which leads the streaming pack with 137 million global subscribers, 58 million of them in the U.S.
The company's advertising revenue increased more than 45% to a record $1.5 billion last year, and its advertiser base grew by 50%. Advertisers may well be enticed by Hulu's audience demographics. The median age of a Hulu viewer is 32 – nearly 25 years younger than the average broadcast TV viewer (56), the company said.
Viewers who subscribe to Hulu + Live TV spend about half of their time watching on-demand or recorded programming. To fuel its momentum, Hulu upgraded its streaming technology to improve stability and reduce buffering and increased its spending on exclusive content.
Hulu expanded its on-demand library to more than 85,000 TV episodes in 2018 and became the exclusive streaming home to shows like ER, Lost, King of the Hill, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, Living Single and Animaniacs. The tally of episodes is nearly double the number offered by Netflix and Amazon, according to Hulu's internal metrics and data from third-party measurement firm Ampere.
The Hulu Originals slate racked up 27 Emmy nominations last year. After winning two Golden Globes for Season 1, Hulu's dystopian drama The Handmaid's Tale returned in Season 2 with a 76% increase in total viewing.
The Stephen King drama series Castle Rock was Hulu's highest performing new original, and the second most-watched Hulu Original, behind The Handmaid's Tale.
I wonder how much of that is from the Black Friday promo....
Just checked and they hit 17 million in Jan 2018 and 20 million in May 2018. This puts them at 25 million at the end of 2018.
So probably not the majority of the increase. Thanks. That's good news for themJust checked and they hit 17 million in Jan 2018 and 20 million in May 2018. This puts them at 25 million at the end of 2018.
It's legendary choreographer, director and film director Bob Fosse. He is definitely a household name... provided that household likes musical theatre/film. I think the name of the show is fine and it's just a teaser essentially so they have time to promote the show in other ways.Who/what is Fosse? What is a Verdon? It sounds like some kind of aerospace training manual. And how do you even pronounce either of those words? If they're people, then they needed to add a qualifier to it because neither of them are household names and that title tells you literally nothing about it at first glance.
Feud: Bette and Joan is a good title because even if you don't know who Bette Davis or Joan Crawford are (and unfortunately a lot of people don't), you at least know that the show is about a feud between two people with those names.
Fine. I'll do it. I was already massively in after learning that they didn't stick the Ezra Furman track in the trailer by accident, he's doing the music for the show as well!Netflix's upcoming 'Sex Education' (ft. Gillian Anderson) is getting good reviews - Sepinwall is favorably comparing it to American Vandal and Big Mouth. Anyone making the OT?
Yup. I'm not, nor have I ever been, a musical fan and I know of Fosse. Also under different circumstances I wouldn't be interested in this show but with Rockwell and Williams leading I'll definitely be tuning in
That's good that he seems to be mostly positive on it since season 4 was pretty disappointing. I feel like when most shows have a prepared final season, they try to make the best with what they have. It doesn't always work out but it's good to see many try.Good to see Sepinwall is positive on the final season of You're The Worst

Netflix has had a surprising affinity for teen sex comedies that are equal parts raunchy and sincere, like the surreally animated Big Mouth or the unexpectedly canceled American Vandal. Sex Education fits comfortably into that group as it toggles between blunt humor and a gentler consideration of the emotional lives of its characters.
I was listening to some podcast a few days ago (maybe Slashfilm Daily?) And they had an off-handed comment about how The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 was "mostly panned as being a huge disappointment", and used that as an excuse for why Margaret Atwood was going to write a sequel novel.
???
It's weird how "consensus" narratives like this form within media bubbles. By most accounts I thought Season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale was incredible, with some of Elizabeth Moss's best work ever, and at the very most it had a disappointing ending scene which ends up making sense if you think about it a bit.
Season 2 is also sitting at a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes compared to 94% for Season 1.

btw, you'd hate the name of the musical based on his life even more!

I will agree with you that season 3 was also pretty bad, especially with how it ended (which led to how season 4 was), but the dynamic in season 4 was so different just because Jimmy and Gretchen weren't together for most of that season. Apparently, season 3 ended so poorly for my boyfriend that he refused to watch season 4 with me. Lol. He said that was a "jump the shark" moment.I felt like season 4 was a solid rebound from the dreadful season 3. Critics liked season 3 though (I think? idk) so it's hard to gauge how I'll feel about the final season. I hope it's a true return to form though.
"NYPD Blue" stars Kim Delaney and Bill Brochtrup have signed on to reprise their roles in the "NYPD Blue" sequel pilot that is currently in the works at ABC.
Delaney will reprise her role as Det. Diane Russell, which she played on the original run of "NYPD Blue" beginning in its second season, serving as series regular for Seasons 3 through 8. Brochtrup first joined the show in a recurring capacity as administrative assistant John Irvin in Season 2, before being upped to series regular later in the show's run.

Tuesday night's ratings. Everything's all messed up because someone decided to go on TV last night at 9pm ET and make a fool of himself:
Usually when news or politics occur on The Big Four networks, NBC tends to get the most viewers. I just assume it's because people have the easiest access to that channel.You know, I'm surprised that the address had the worst ratings on Fox.... followed by a political Gifted in which half the people turned off their tvs. Wow that drop. I don't think an S3 looks too good. Fox with it's trigger finger on cancels + kinda/sorta future Disney property + tanking ratings. I feel a sudden, awful ending (or just plain inconclusive) incoming :x
You forgot about the 3-ply. THE 3-PLY SHUMI!.
Star Wars Resistance will live to fight another day. Disney Channel has ordered up a sophomore season of the animated Lucasfilm saga with a Fall 2019 premiere episode.
What if Alaska is home of a big Jewish settlement and the fledgling state of Israel was destroyed?
