I like Ted Danson, not sure this will be for me though. I plan to check out a few episodes at least.

Though the trailer didn't exactly blow my skirt up I'm definitely interested in this seeing as it started life as a 30 Rock spin-off about Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy running for LA Mayor. Baldwin refused to commit and instead opted to do some production nightmare with Kelsey Grammar on ABC so they went with Danson.

I'll check out a couple episodes of this at some point.

On HBO Max, viewing of The Undoing Sunday night was up more than 80% week-to-week and was nearly 5 times higher than the viewership for the series debut night. The show ranked as HBO Max's most-watched series overall last week, followed by new Max original The Flight Attendant, starring Kaley Cuoco, which premiered to the largest audience of any original series on HBO Max to-date.

I gotta say that David E. Kelley's ability to stay relevant as a series creator is pretty impressive at this stage in his career. Offhand I can't think an of the other big names from the '80s and '90s being in the same bracket other than maybe Dick Wolf.

I read about five of the books I think. I have managed to watch the entire first season and a couple episodes of season two and I....don't get the fuss. I'm a die hard sci-fi fan too. I'll eventually get around to finishing it but so far it's writing hasn't managed to vault it over it's low budget feel.

Someone tell me, does the writing get better or the budget expand considerably (I'll watch trash so long as it's pretty, I'll watch cardboard sets so long as they're written well) during season 2-3?

I would save yes. The writing got better. Budget gets better in season 4 too.

I watched season 1 three times before it stuck. It seemed cheap yet pretentious. Season 2 on it comes into its own and tells a great story. Apparently season 5 is adapting the best books by far so I'm excited.

People in the thread are guessing it has to do with the 65-episode limit that Disney Channel still has. If so, I'm surprised that's still a thing.

Plus, yes, there are rumors of a spinoff centered on a rebooted "Darkwing Duck."

I forgot all about Disney 65 which reminds me of Nickelodeon 100. Seems like a weird thing to stick to at this point. Hopefully that cancellation isn't real because and if it is, then that isn't the reason. Seems like if that rumor is true then it might be better to have both shows running together

If there's anybody out there watching this on History for 6+ years and don't have Amazon they must be feeling pretty damn pissed off.

We still don't quite know what's going on, but the show is already past 65 episodes so there's no hard rule about it anymore, it seems.

I don't imagine this will do particularly well, especially so late in the game and with (seemingly?) all non-scripted shows. On the other hand it is targeting a very different demographic than most others are, so I can imagine it winding up as a sleeper hit.

These are the kind of shows, the Food Network and TLC stuff aside from Discovery itself especially, that outside news and sports shows consistently score high in the key demo (Female 18-49 especially) and rank top 50 cable shows every night.

So yeah, this will likely do very well, there's a rather big audience for these, so I imagine it'll do quite well tbh.

Hulu Lands Elisabeth Moss True Crime Drama Series ‘Candy’ From UCP

Elisabeth Moss is going back to Hulu for her latest drama project, Candy.
deadline.com deadline.com
Deadline understands that the streamer has landed Candy (w/t), which comes from The Act writer and co-exec producer Robin Veith and exec produced by The Act co-creator Nick Antosca.

We're hearing that a writers' room is being set up for the project, which comes from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and 20th Television.

The limited event series is set in Texas in 1980 and based on the true story of killer Candy Montgomery and her victim, Betty Gore. Moss will play Montgomery, who seemingly had it all – a loving husband with a good job, a daughter and a son, a nice house in the brand new suburbs – so why did she kill her friend from church with an ax?

Peacock will have a free viewing week for Brave New World from 12/24 to 12/30. Don't know why they're bothering after they've already cancelled it.

Um wow. Didn't really see that coming. Kinda makes America Ferrara's exit seem pointless if she's going to come back for the finale.

But besides that, I feel like this show could've gone on for at least a few more years. They seemed to get new and good storylines with working in public during a pandemic.

I wonder how much was due to COVID issues. Seems like they would have kept her on if they knew it was going to end anyway.

Also Seal Team seemed to go into reboot mode. Even the dog retired. lol
