I guess I don't get this strategy. Don't you want to build content for your fledgling service? They have nothing.

I feel these companies are using the broadcast TV playbook, which doesn't really work with streaming.

Goddammit.

This show really suffered from being on Peacock; it managed to take something that absolutely should not have worked and made it a really good time. But it's hard enough to sell people on a SBTB reboot/successor--getting them to try it on Peacock was just a bridge too far.

I could've sworn I heard about this show premiering soon, not that long ago, and now you're telling me it's been on for two seasons and is being cancelled? I thought I was done with the whole pandemic time warp thing but here I am wondering where all the time went.

So did Zack actually show up as a shitty right-wing governor or whatever?

true, I mean maybe there's a chance of another streaming service picking it up if there's a big enough online campaign by fans...but idk if it's popular enough because it was on Peacock in the first place -- which literally no one watches lol.

Was it too expensive?

Feels like that was and still is one of their tentpoles.

Even early Netflix stuff went on way to long arguably , so I figured this would

i use it solely for Columbo rewatches

OH, uh... one more thing.

It's probably nothing, I just... you know, I just, to be sure. Paperwork and all that.

Just to be a hundred percent.

Where were you the night Flamin' Cheetos was killed?

...because something just...

It's probably nothing, again...

I'm actually really surprised that they're cancelling this. I mean, it's gotta be their original series with the most mindshare, right? Like this is the show you point to when you think of their original programming.

Anyway, please watch season 2 of Girls5eva tomorrow. Maybe they'll get a third season.

Ya see, my wife, she gets these ideas

she told me that the latest Flamin' Hot flavor is the reddest color she's ever seen

and when she tried some, her fingertips were stained red for weeks


nothing could get that red off except for time

if i recall right, you are a connoisseur of these Flamin' Hot snacks

not a fan myself, never was, im more into salty snacks

hot snacks don't sit well with me

bad for my stomach, doc says to stick with regular Lays

anyways, where was I?

oh, right, well you said that last night you were enjoying three bags of the latest Flamin' Hot flavor

the good stuff, the red stuff

and you told me yesterday that professionals only eat with their fingers

no utensils, no gloves

you need to lick the Flamin' Hot dust right off your fingers

but it's odd, you see, I was just thinking

your fingers today... their aren't red at all


not even slightly orange from regular cheese snacks

do you have any explanation for that?

Rip peacock lol. This would be like paramount cancelling their star trek shows. The writing is on the wall.

The second season was meh compared to the first but not cancel-worthy... We have really departed the golden era of streaming tv, huh. Everybody is throwing in with their cancel hammers.

They just greenlight a new Days of Our Lives 5 part special exclusive to the service in which two characters who said they were NEVER coming back and trashed the show on social media are....coming back. Multiple huge money trucks must have went out to them. That is where the Saved By The Bell S3 money went.
