Reply to comment by LiveFromNewYork95 in There should be a setting to watch TV shows that aired in the same block together by AvailableUpstairs912
There was a website I've seen posted somewhere, but I've totally forgotten what it was called, that simulates a TV from like the early 90s or something like that, where it just plays and plays in real time, commercials and all, and there's a visual manifestation of an old TV itself surrounding the video- you click on the knob to change channels.

But that's exactly why. They said girls don't buy toys and blamed them, rather than the declining physical toy space in the wake of modern electronics. Kids had phones and didn't want toys, but they blamed the audience.

That's brilliant, like a TV time capsule. I'd watch.

Yep, they absolutely need playlists. Think like a "comedy block" of old sitcoms, the way networks used to air (still do to some extent) syndicated shows. For some reason cable channels went the other way and now just air like 12+ hours back to back of the same show.

On the cw it's gone by this spring. Now the cw with the new owners is for local news, reruns of procedurals and golf.

Well and the fact Simon could have been lying. That way the team would not expect him to go out on robberies as much.

That stuff never goes away, just changes name, and persists.

They went/are going away along with The CW itself.

Reply to Review: That 90's Show by DeviousOne420
The more I think about it, the more this shows sucks. It completely relies on nostalgia to work. If this show had to stand on it's own and That 70's show never existed. This would be a massive flop. And as far as the new characters go, Gwen is the only one I like. Ozzie is a massive jerk. Why would anyone be friends with him? The acting also isn't very good in general. And what's with Leia forcing herself on boys at the mall?? Let's reverse genders a bit and have a boy do that and everyone will be shouting rape. I was a teenager in the 90's and i cannot identify with these people. I watched some of the best bits of the 70's show again on Youtube after this and that show was just leagues ahead. Kelso's pocket exploding still has me in stitches. The 90's show is a pale imitation that should not have seen the light of day.

I find subtitles on K Drama worst on Netflix.

Reply to comment by lorZzeus in As anyone noticed that netflix subtitles are not that good? by Hellpy
Damn, they really dumb like that. With all their different customers languages and different content languages, one would assume they don't cheap out on subs, but I guess that's the way she goes bubs. I'm most definitely cancelling Netflix before the 2nd bill comes up, illegal streams have 4k anyways

I don't think the genre is in decline. In fact I think there are more of these teen-dramas than there ever were at any given point in time.
Heartbreak High, Sex Education, Prisma, Elite, Euphoria, High School, Never Have I Ever etc. These are the Dawson Creeks and One Tree Hills of our time... just in shorter form and more stylistic... because that's just how television is nowadays.

Pretty much every show on the cw. The arrowverse is just super hero themed teen dramas, they didn't go anywhere.

They merged into other genres like fantasy and science fiction. Now people who want the drama still get it, but they also get people who specifically want those genres one way or another.
Edit: At least when it comes to network TV shows and some streaming shows. There are still also some streaming or cable teen dramas that aren't fantasy or science fiction. Euphoria is an obvious example.

Reply to Fox Gives Roseanne Barr’s Comedy Comeback Special “Cancel This!” an NFL Boost (Exclusive) by esporx
Really simple, if you don't like somebody then don't watch them...
I'm not a fan of Roseanne so I don't watch her.. It's that simple.
Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean YOU have the right to demand that they never appear on TV again.. Ever..

>Give it a try. It's cute, funny, and has some great messages. I've only seen a few episodes but it's really nice that a show that teaches important lessons on friendship and health is available to all ages. Especially when some of those lessons are things you wouldn't pick up until a teenager or young adult.
So you're saying you should watch it if you're an emotionally stunted weirdo? Gotcha.

Charlie from Always Sunny had a sister in the first season that was never mentioned again.
Definitely an improvement as it would potentially ruin his relationship with his Mother and Uncle Jack

CBS got a fine for using an edited version of the alert on an episode of Young Sheldon (it was a scene involving a tornado warning). This was after CBS purposefully made sure the edited version would not activate the EAS, passing it through several filters I believe. But yeah even if you edit it or use something slightly different, FCC gonna fine you.

This is what I'm saying. How is spending all this time thinking about consuming media or shitting on media you haven't watched productive? Is your life just not meaningful on its own? Watch the thing and move on. Or don't watch the thing and move on.
