Because he didn't do shit, crime was falling every year since dinkins, of course he's going to take credit, but his civic cleanup campaign was garbage. The only thing he did right was make Bratton the police commissioner. That's who really cleaned the city up. Everybody else was already doing their part in cleaning the city before Giuliani came in. Look up Nathan glazer, Dan biederman, Herbert sturz if you don't believe me.

Hopefully the rest of the country sees what new yorkers have known for decades.

Hello my baby, hello my honey…
Although I’m sure the frog would get the service banned in Florida.

I'm talking more about legacy/proprietary content of Warner Bros. from the 1930s/40s/50s/60s/70s/80s/90s. I'd like to see all that great classical content.
I doubt much of that is in the Tubi deal, it's mostly recent stuff in there.

I believe the original poster was being facetious – a good chunk of the pulled HBO (Max) content has already been sold to Tubi and Roku.

I imagine a lot of the stuff pulled from HBO Max will find its way here.

They can really distinguish themselves from all the other dime a dozen FAST services, if they fill their channels with a lot of their exclusive WB content.

We all want the frog back, but they'll 100% fuck it up somehow.

While I understand the desire to draw a big conspiracy theory around Guiliani, but I think he actually started out as someone with a massive ego and the intention to do good. Going after the Cosa Nostra in the 80s took serious guts. He also went after Wall Street in a very public way that sent some people to jail. His term as Mayor of NYC was controversial and there is a lot to criticize, but he was still taking big swings trying to make change.
If he had stayed a prosecutor, he'd probably be a much more admirable person. But fame seems to have been his driving ambition since 9/11.

I’m sure the CBS affiliate in Charlotte, NC will have something to say about that

I must have been watching a different show then. Watched 3 episodes and barely let out a chuckle.
OK, the article says it got high debut ratings, but have those ratings been sustained over the following episodes? High debut ratings could easily due to nostalgia for the original.

Yep, all you have to do is look at the right-wing media landscape over the past 7 years to understand that it's not a generational problem.
It's no different than when progressives start going off about an imaginary AOC presidency every time she throws meat to her base on Twitter. Never mind the fact that her chances are slim to none on the national stage (and that isn't going to change anytime soon), but even if she magically beat the odds, it's not as though she'd have a blank check to write and pass legislation unilaterally, nor would it change how our government works. She likely have to content with a GOP majority in both the House and/or Senate. It would basically would amount to legislative gridlock domestically.

Especially since all of the younger generations are waiting for the Boomers to die off, thinking that politics would magically change as soon as that happens.
No, there's plenty of younger replacements ready to spew out their batshit-crazy ideas.

Honestly, the first book is a straight up mystery story that doesn't get really crazy and takes place in current times. That one seems like the easiest to film as it's almost just a buddy cop story with a scientist and hot headed detective
The 2nd and 3rd book though are just full of huge scifi set pieces and theoretical concepts that I had a hard time fully visualizing. They're just chock full of stuff that would need to be CGI to show.

I can't wait for that. That's when the book went from "wtf?' to "holy crap that is insane". There are so many moments like that where something will happen and I think "well you can't explain that scientifically" and then it does haha
