If you’re going to burn something for energy, burn garbage like non-recyclable plastic waste.

Just what we need. More media consolidation. 🙄

- Comment on I guess they hate shoppers (context below) 2 weeks ago:
You could send a tip to an ADA lawyer. Or maybe report them for not meeting fire code.

Best: Game Of Thrones. Mad Men. Season 1 Westworld.
- Comment on What's your ideal TV series length and style? 3 weeks ago:
Short seasons, don’t bother me if they’re done well. My main complaint is having to wait more than a year for the next season. It’s especially ridiculous when that season is short. I shouldn’t have to wait three years for eight episodes. By then I have lost interest.
- Comment on ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ Renewed for Season 5 at FX as Spinoff ‘Necaxa’ With Eva Longoria Sets Summer Premiere 3 weeks ago:
People actually watch this?

Certainly looks like a federal agency with that dated wood paneling.

7 episodes every two years.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 4 weeks ago:
It could be better. I read the books and they’re rushing through the story at 90 miles an hour. They’re also overdoing the voiceovers and on screen displays to the point of annoyance. The “rise and fall of sanctuary moon” inserts are a hoot though.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 4 weeks ago:
So will Prime use this freed up budget to fund some decent programming, or will they just throw it at another Bezos money pit project like the Lord of The Rings tv show?
- Comment on Zach Braff Joins ‘Scrubs’ Reboot in Development at ABC 4 weeks ago:
Guess he and his Scrubs buddies got tired of doing T-Mobile commercials.

Jessica Jones season 1.

Too bad there’s not a windows phone where they could ship their Xbox mobile store. 🤔
- Comment on What new TV series are you most looking at with interest for the second half of the year? 5 weeks ago:
Found it a disappointing adaptation. Bailing after two episodes. ☹️
- Comment on What are some of the worst acted main or supporting characters in a TV series you've watched? 5 weeks ago:
I can see why her take on the part might not be to your taste. Personally she’s my favorite of the captains though. I like her no nonsense attitude, and i can totally see her as a leader.
- Comment on Boldly Going Documentary: "a groundbreaking documentary that chronicles Bruce Horak's inspiring journey as the first blind actor to play a blind character in the Star Trek franchise" 5 weeks ago:
So inspiring that they wrote him off the show! I’m still pissed about it. He was my favorite character on SNW.
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 5 weeks ago:
I agree with this review. They are rushing through the story. That rushing means more voiceovers and more “terminal text overlays” (dunno what to call those things). Pretty sure the lead must’ve complained about wearing the helmet since he’s almost never in it. Also in the books, murderbot’s allies do a lot to make him look more human later on. Out of the gate on tv he looks completely human. After watching the first two eps, I think I’m going to give up on this one.
- Comment on Bingeing, Weekly, or Batches? Is There a Right Way to Roll Out a Series on Streaming? 5 weeks ago:
One new episode per week means you hook subscribers for more than one month. It also makes it easier to fill out your programming schedule with new content all year.

- Comment on ‘Buffy’ Reboot Finds Its New Slayer: Ryan Kiera Armstrong To Star With Sarah Michelle Gellar In Hulu Pilot 5 weeks ago:
Don’t really want a new slayer. I just want Buffy as a housewife who tells her husband she’s going to the PTA meeting, when really she’s out killing vampires.
Oh, and maybe Faith returns as a Jessica Jones/Poker Face style PI.
- Comment on Netflix’s ad tier is growing really fast — and that means more ads 5 weeks ago:
No one is watching these ads. That’s the big bubble of modern TV. People just mute them or go to the kitchen. And the more ads and interruptions there are, the more likely people aren’t going to bother watching at all. There are too many other things competing for the viewer’s attention (multiple streaming channels, YouTube, TikTok, doomscrolling, video games, actual outdoor activities, etc.)
- Comment on What period was the "golden age" of TV in terms of content? 5 weeks ago:
Another golden age was during the “rural purge” in the early 1970s. Shows like Mayberry RFD and Petticoat Junction were canceled and replaced with The Mary Tyler Moore show and All In The Family. This is when the reign of Norman Lear began.
It lasted a good long time until ABC introduced “Jiggle TV” with Charlie’s Angels and Threes Company.
Later we’d get the era of prime time soaps in the 1980s with Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, and many others.
