Reply to comment by mindofdarkness in Three seconds of audio could end up costing Fox $500,000 by blaspheminCapn
Alright so new day. Turns out we didn’t need to wait. This is old news and Fox already stopped broadcasting this ad. Their line was essentially “Yeah, we kinda have a rule against this and we’re looking into who did this.” Perhaps should be taken with a grain of salt but is still an acceptance that they have to stop.
Which I think is fine. The law makes sense to have. The fine is the gov politely saying “listen here you little shit” and it worked fine.
Edit to include what I read: https://www.insideradio.com/free/fox-sports-admits-it-used-fake-eas-tones-on-radio-as-well-as-tv/article_6b18d2f0-9e1c-11ed-ab28-c7b167cea819.html

Yeah that is probably the weirdest episode of TV ever made, and I loved it.
I also loved International Assassin.

It’s the premise of the entire show: how do people deal with tremendous loss? That’s grim. It takes an ages old concept, and applies it in a unique way (instead of war, famine or disease, it’s something supernatural).
It started as an intriguing character study and became a Twilight Zone ripoff, except the wacky, unbelievable shit kept happening to the same characters.
I don’t know anyone who deals with loss by having a dead person in his head, investigating disappearing ponds, or hopping into the death realm not once, but twice. That shit with his dad’s magic song was plenty fucked, too.
By all means, find it incredible. I know you’re not alone and there is zero point arguing taste. I think it was an incredible disaster, and I’m not alone, either.

Unfortunately it’s not for iOS, so i cannot even consider this option

Showly is among the best when it comes to ui but it uses TMDB so a few shows are missing (mainly new ones currently in production), I use both at the same time.

Or that story Bill Hader tells about how they came up with the fish sticks episode. That shit is hilarious.

Really simple, if you don't like the posts or comments about Roseanne then don't read them . . .
Just because you don't people criticizing a public figure doesn't mean YOU have the right to demand that they ever do it again . . . ever . . .

I really don’t understand posts like these. It’s all subjective. You either dig it or you don’t.

Conan talks about those days sometimes on his podcast. It was so loaded with talent that everyday people just as good as you were pitching jokes at nearly the same level. Sounds like a pretty intense environment.

They guys have addressed a few of those on the podcast. I think it was Rob that said "well... we didn't have a Meg back then." or something like that.

Definitely. The story can get really confusing sometimes with all the subplots, but the atmosphere, acting, twists and the big reveal at the end are absolutely phenomenal.

Not tv, but Commentary! The Musical for Doctor Horrible was great.

Reply to comment by AvailableUpstairs912 in There should be a setting to watch TV shows that aired in the same block together by AvailableUpstairs912
I'm still a cable person, I grew up with commericals, they just have never bothered me. Again it's just how I grew up, ads are when you ran to the bathroom, got a snack, got stuff done.
And I know there's people that feel that they shouldn't have to pay for ads or that by having ads it turns the whole show into ads but I have way more important stuff to stress about than that so I've never gotten much into it.
