Mods are asleep I guess.

I think unknowns can do a great job when they are cast properly. I’d imagine Amazon blew most of its budget on securing the rights, so they didn’t want to spend more on known names.

The thing is, good acting is good acting. What you get with a name brand is recognition — it’s marketing. The real trick is to cast one or more out of work big names from the past. You get recognition and experience that way for a lower cost.

Who knows what Netflix wants at this point. They are wasting money by keeping it going without Cavill. Seems like a real “fuck you” from Netflix to Cavill, considering the ratings are going to drop off a cliff.

What a strangely violent show to put on Disney.

I was just going to ask where it was streaming. Hopefully the renewed attention will help it get a pickup somewhere.

You really do have to wonder why so many great shows just sit on a shelf somewhere, unable to be watched.

Yes, yes you will.

If you can even get two day shipping from prime. Most stuff takes a week’s worth of “handling” before it even gets to the shipping stage now.

Edit: I’m Not saying Amazon should crack the whip. Amazon warehouse workers are already overworked and underpaid. Just wishing they’d drop the pretense that shit’s gonna show up in two days if you pay for prime. Just call it “free shipping” and be done with it.

Problem with Amazon isn’t streaming. Streaming is an add on. People have returned to retail shopping, and Amazon’s quality reputation is in the toilet due to large amounts of continuously rebranded junk and counterfeit merchandise. It is morphing into Wish.com headquartered in Seattle.

Gracias!

Have they announced who is playing Capote yet?

If the cops were corrupt, it might work. Make it a more gritty reboot about cops on the take. Lots of drugs, mafia, and cash.

The cinematography would have to be a character as well, to bring some style to the show that would be an updated substitute to the flash and pastels of the original. Maybe something more modern noir.

And the soundtrack would be important, too. It was a huge part of the original show, and pop stars of the day often made guest appearances as characters.

So I think it could be done, but it would have to be done with an updated spin. I have clearly given way too much thought to this.

Unluckily for The Ropers, Don Knotts as Mr Furley was a huge success. No return for them.

This is what happens when corporations are allowed to own the content, the studio, the transmission wire, the channel, and the set top box. If things continue like this, governments are going to break them up and force an open streaming protocol.

Westworld 2.0.

Easy to cut jobs when you keep killing products at Microsoft.

They’re prosthetics/fake.

You can show male genitalia, but not an erection. That seems to be where they draw the line. A lot of what you see is also prosthetic.

Bring back “Battle Of The Network Stars” and be done with it. Just make sure it includes the short shorts and skimpy bathing suits.

Where was the carbon monoxide coming from? Do they know yet?

It amazes me that it makes enough money to stay on the air at this point. Their ad buys must be part of a Viacom package deal, or the infomercials in the middle of the night are still enough to keep the lights on. It’s pretty much devolved into a broadcast subchannel.

The WASPS kicked ass. I hope they do include them.

Would someone here be interested in building a graph or something to visualize this data?

Eric Roberts did a decent job. Paul McGann is still one of my favorite Doctors.

Would be interesting if canceled streaming shows would go running to broadcast for a second chance (both for the show and the broadcaster). It’s not like there’s much quality on broadcast networks right now.
