I bet Grace and Frankie skews younger
Especially from a Canadian co-production with CBC that I'm pretty sure stopped qualifying for a bunch of credits after S3.Unless they literally said this, I do not understand why people think cancellation of X was to make show Y.
For one, that's how budgets actually work. Otherwise, there were reports bring posted around the time of the cancelation that this was one of the reasons why. Not sure of the validity, but it was being floated in relation to the production.Unless they literally said this, I do not understand why people think cancellation of X was to make show Y.

Watched it because of The Mole reference and although I thought the clues throughout the show were kind of not helpful, the ending where the contestants were trying to bargain each other was amazing. lolI really enjoy The Hustler, Craig Ferguson is delightful as the host and it reminds me of The Mole (first two seasons now on Netflix btw) but oof those ratings
Grace & Frankie is cutting edge, on the pulse, it is the zeitgeist.

Not a TV question, but more of a streaming financial one. What is the upside for an Amazon to pay $200 million for a movie like Tomorrow War? To drive new Prime accounts? To retain Prime accounts? I mean, what do a ton of eyeballs do for them? I guess it's all of the above, but that's a ton of money to throw at something without immediate obvious benefit...
I'm confused, what's the current title a reference to? Did Netflix or AMC+ cancel something?

Ah ok. Thanks!Netflix cancelled a bunch of sitcoms, including a Kevin James one.
TV Line said:In the latest TV show ratings, NBC's coverage of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final averaged 2.6 million total viewers on Monday night, up 30 percent from Friday's Game 3 to mark the Canadians/Lightning series' largest audience thus far.
Over on ABC, The Bachelorette (3.3 mil/0.7) added a few eyeballs while steady in the demo, leading Monday in both measures.
THE CW | All American (640K/0.2) was steady with the planted pilot for the already-greenlit Homecoming spinoff. The Republic of Sarah (320K/0.1) was also steady.
FOX | Hell's Kitchen (2.3 mil/0.5) dipped in the demo.
they wanted to make the dumbest blockbuster ever and pretty much succeeded.Not a TV question, but more of a streaming financial one.

lol...why is Freeform renewing this again?
Guess they want to see if they can milk another season of their biggest series without the creator.Cruel Summer was renewed for a second season last month after it became Freeform's most-watched series ever.
Reese about to make more money selling this than she has in her entire acting career?Interesting.

TV Line said:In the latest TV ratings, ABC's coverage of the NBA Finals opener averaged 6.4 million total viewers and a 2.1 rating, down 13 and 18 percent from the preliminary numbers for last year's Game 1 (which was pandemic-delayed until August) yet still easily topping Tuesday in the demo.
Opening ABC's night, the Jimmy Kimmel special did 4.6 mil/1.2, followed by NBA Countdown's 3.8 mil/1.1.
NBC's America's Got Talent (6.9 mil/0.8) slipped two tenths in the demo yet managed to deliver Tuesday's largest audience. College Bowl (2.7 mil/0.4) was steady.
THE CW | The Flash (770K/0.2) dropped a handful of eyeballs while steady in the demo.
FOX | LEGO Masters (1.6 mil/0.5) and Mental Samurai (1.1 mil/0.3) were steady.
Tuesdays are completely empty for me right now. So rare that I have days that there is nothing that I care about watching live.
I don't know what it is but there is still a certain appeal to live watching stuff for me. Especially if I'm watching something with a friend. I only watch stuff off of my DVR when I don't have something to watch live. Also, when I'm working and I need background noise, it almost always has to be something that is live on TV instead of from DVR or streamed. But there are some exceptions to that.I can't remember the last time I watched anything live. Everything is DVR'd. Well, not counting sports.
Always have something to watch off DVR or streaming. Still trying to catch up/finish off the shows from this recent season.

I must be an outlier compared to most people and their TV watching habits these days. With cord cutters and people streaming all their stuff, I feel like live watching has to be a way less popular option.

lol...why is Freeform renewing this again?
Oh okay, I get what you mean.Oh, I take that back. I should say I don't watch anything live. I actually do have 'live' TV on each night, but wasn't really counting that. Usually after I get a couple of DVR'd shows in, I will just have the TV on the background while doing other things.
Like the other night, had My Cousin Vinny on while perusing internet on my laptop. Cannot have that movie on too much.
I know this is way old, but I just finished reading a book about "The Office" and it made me realize how bad NBC executives were back in the early 2010s. Steve Carell wanted to come back and do all seasons of the show and they didn't even call him to make him an offer. The entire Conan/Leno thing. The disastrous attempts at sitcoms after The Office went off the air. Just a total nightmare.
That's the one I read! It was great.
It's good. But also be sure to check out Brian Baumgartner's (Kevin) An Oral History of The Office, which he's also blown out as The Office Deep Dive.

That was always the assumption but reality is stranger than fiction sometimes. NBC just ignored and dropped him, the lead of their big sitcom, for no discernible reason.Wait, I'm confused. Wasn't it Carell's decision to leave in the first place so he could focus on his movie career?
It didn't have anything to do with money? He had become a pretty big star. Perhaps he was asking for more money than they were willing to pay?That was always the assumption but reality is stranger than fiction sometimes.

It never even reached that stage apparently, his contract was up and NBC never contacted him or his people to renew it, to negotiate, or anything. The deadline came and then went and he was just no longer going to be on The Office.It didn't have anything to do with money? He had become a pretty big star.

Wow. That is just bizarre given how we generally see most shows with a big star do whatever they can to keep the big star on the show. It's just hard to imagine passing up on signing Carell for another season especially since the ratings were still pretty solid in the those later seasons.This kind of gets into it; Carell made a side-comment about potentially leaving on the radio, that became news, he had his agent contact NBC to signal that he'd be willing to sign on for another season, and NBC just let the offer deadline pass without making one. There's some speculation that it was because the new head of NBC just wasn't into the show that much, but ultimately for whatever reason they just did not approach him about coming back and let his contract run out.
