Funny they killed History Channel 2 for it, which had become the Ancient Aliens channelViceland's problem is entirely being twenty years off on timing. It's a cross between mid 90s MTV and adult swim and it would have killed in 1999. Abandoned, Hamilton's Pharmacopeia, What Would Diplo Do, Nuts + Bolts, Epicly Later'd, and Desus and Mero were all actually entertaining shows. It's just a terrible/stupid time to be a linear TV network for the youth.
I love Desus and Mero but if that's the only thing you liked on their network, I'd question your age. Vice has been vital hipster source for news and entertainment for over a decade.
they do that on HBO insteadI don't watch Viceland or pay for cable so I had no idea it was that bad. I thought all they played on the network was the same thing they've been making for their own website and you tube channel for years.
lol. im their market and the only reason I paid for viceland was desus and mero, occassionally an action bronson or matty mattheson show, but that's it. the rest of it is garbage television or reruns of syndicated shows. the only vice-run show worth watching is on HBO.I love Desus and Mero but if that's the only thing you liked on their network, I'd question your age.

As long as we get one more season of Nirvanna the band the show, all is fine. (I really hope once Viceland goes, all creators can find a place to go)
Took me FOREVER to watch the damn series because of how bad the releases are handledI ran into Matt on the street by the house they film out of and he made it sound like they had plans for another season. Fingers crossed that holds true - you know shit is fucked when the creators of the show are outright advocating piracy of it because Viceland's distribution was so botched.

But their collective frustration with being over-utilized isn't to be confused with a lack of passion for their fans or their craft. Both of their faces light up when discussing the fact that Showtime means a bigger budget and more fleshed out content. As the only talk show on television without a writer's room, the weight of the world is still on their shoulders—and they were visibly relieved to find an outlet that will help nurture their content instead of squeezing it out of their dead, overworked hands.
Their social media comments might be polluted with a select few complaining about the switch to premium cable, but the boys are sympathetic to the struggle– and they thought about that way before the public even knew a deal was in the works.
Desus reasoned, "every time someone complains about the price, I think of myself. It doesn't bother us, it's just when people are negative and like, 'yo, you guys sold out.' You're still gonna get the show you want, and it's gonna be like $5.99. Relax."
"It's not like we ran off on the plug," Mero added. "The very fact that we're going to Showtime means that the show is going to get bigger and better. It's gonna be on a bigger scale, bigger budget, more exposure, more likeliness to win a f**king Emmy."
"Imagine listening to the podcast and you don't have to imagine what's going on," Desus continued. "I get it, people are afraid, your favorite show no longer comes on at 11pm…but listen, we'll get our way back in y'all hearts."
Mero resumed, "people are scared because they think it's gonna be wild inaccessible, and it's not gonna be wild inaccessible."
"You don't have to have a Showtime login to watch what we're gonna put out," Desus assured. "Bodega Hive is something very personal to us…we cannot just sh*t on this f**king fanbase."
Something wrong with it?
I've only listened to their podcast. Is their TV stuff worth watching? I can't imagine it's as freeform and loose.
BasicallyVICE LAND has always been dumb as fuck. Why VICE a company on the ball with its Internet prowess and mindshare would bet on the very medium they have heavily contributed to making less and less relevant is pure dipshit mode.
I know why it happend it's just stupid. VICE is trying to appeal to the old guard something they've never seemed to care about. Should have kept it that way fuck old conceptions of success. Leave the fossils that think TV is what it used to be in the dust.Basically
1) there's in theory, more money in TV.
2) Prestige and looking.more real to investors and being able to say you have a TV network to flex on competitors.
Unfortunately, their demographic doesn't watch cable TV enough to support a station and instead of prestige they became a 20 hours of hoarders network.
To be fair 20 hours of Bar Rescue kept Spike goingBasically

It's the reality of the industry. Social media ruined internet traffic and ad rates were already plummeting for online content. Once you get Disney and other old-school.networks investing money it just becomes a way to burn money on satellite TV . The millennial cable news market experiment should.make for some fun articles and books in a couple of years though .I know why it happend it's just stupid.

They're not alt right, I don't think they're conservative either. Both of them is married to Mexicans.
A couple of black guys, married to Mexican women, and that have biracial children being alt right which is a white supremicist movement is goddamn ridiculous.I don't know anything about the twins, but just because someone is married to a minority does not mean they cannot be alt-right. Molly Yannypolicy is in a relationship with a black man, after all.
Friends reruns been holding up TBS for 9999 years
I'm not familiar with them. Maybe I'm stupid.
It is ridiculous but it does happen.A couple of black guys, married to Mexican women, and that have biracial children being alt right which is a white supremicist movement is goddamn ridiculous.
I'm talking about the twins and them being alt right is the dumbest shit I've heard all day.
It's been confirmed to be a half-hour. :/I'm actually really pumped for the Showtime show. If it ends up being something more like a weekly/semi-weekly Bodega Boys-lengthed version of the Viceland show, that could be pretty cool. The 20-minute ish Viceland episodes felt like they just flew by too fast sometimes. I'd end up saving two or three days worth and binging them back to back. An hour plus of Desus and Mero in a sitting? Strongggggg.
Honestly, I've heard some iffy stuff from a friend that worked there for a bit a year or two back. She said the perks were good, but the culture was not.Vice's news reporting is great but entertainment-wise? Ehhh, I'd rather just watch Comedy Central or Adult Swim for that type of stuff.
That never stopped people before. Diamond & Silk, Stacy Dash, David Clarke, Clarence thomas, the list goes on.

If that's the case, a TON of people are taking them sincerely in the comments. So mission accomplishedYeah, maybe you just don't see the humor in them trolling people.
But they're not nazis.
If your "comedy trolling" is indistinguishable from the real thing, you kinda of failed.If that's the case, a TON of people are taking them sincerely in the comments. So mission accomplished
+1That never stopped people before. Diamond & Silk, Stacy Dash, David Clarke, Clarence thomas, the list goes on. Not all your skin folk are your kin folk
I mean if they wanna take the hodgetwins seriously, the guys who claim to fame is talking about fucking your step sister and other random BS and acting foolish that's on them.If that's the case, a TON of people are taking them sincerely in the comments. So mission accomplished
Munchies is borderline sabotaging itself with crap like The Hangover Show.
