This is kinda weird, but Hulu said it had 2 new The Great North episodes, and it says episode 3 is coming tomorrow, but episodes 4 and 5 were available right now.
It worked too, I watched both of them.

2020-21 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Everything's Not Gonna Be Okay for Punky, Betty, Dickinson, or Sarah
- Thread starter mreddie
- Start date
- Entertainment OT
Correct, it's listed as "upcoming" and releasing Monday.
Thankfully it's not a show with a ton of continuity, so episodes 4 and 5 didn't seem out of order.
TV Line actually did a quick interview with the creators of The Mick after the show was cancelled for insight on what season 3 would have liked like. It sounds even darker than the first two seasons.
Honestly, it's clearly the weakest it's been. For a show that did such a great job replacing the female lead twice, they've really struggled to replace Tony. Also, Harmon looks to have aged about 5 years between last season and this one.
NCIS LA has easily been the stronger show for the past few years.
Sunday night's ratings:

Yeah, I just noticed he hasn't really done anything since 2015.
Didn't know he had a stroke. :(
I believe he actually has a daughter. But yes, that could work.
Sam's daughter would always be motivated to also gain a doctorate in quantum physics to eventually find and save her father. So she would 'leap', just like her father, to bring him home.

‘Gaslit’: Julia Roberts & Sean Penn-Fronted Watergate Drama Lands At Starz, Joel & Nash Edgerton Exit, Matt Ross Joins As Director & EP
Watergate drama Gaslit, which is based on Slate’s Slow Burn podcast, has landed at Starz, though it has lost a couple of names along the way. The network has greenlighted the UCP-produced series starring Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. Joel Edgerton, who was set to star and direct, no longer is...

Dire numbers for Bless the Harts, geez. They don't call it the primetime spot for nothing.
Cartoon Saloon (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea) is making a TV series for Apple!

The turn to more serious material reminds me of what they did with You're the Worst
Is WandaVision really worth watching, or is it just Marvel fans overhyping the hell out of it? I want answers from people who know and recognize good TV.
First season of The Mandalorian disappointed me greatly while Star Wars fans absolutely oversold it to me to the moon and back, so now I'm twice shy.

I'm sort of a Marvel fan (I've seen all the films and most of the television shows) and I hate it.
It fails both as a Marvel show and homage to various eras of sitcoms. Bettany and Olsen deserve better. It's also the first time I've ever hated Kathryn Hahn in anything.
It's the latter imo, but it is more compelling than The Mandalorian given that it does have actual characters and scenes. I think if you're not a Marvel fan/actively engaged with trying to find all the Marvel references it probably isn't going to be something you love. The sitcom parody stuff is "cute" but not very substantive.
If you like MCU movies, it's good. If you don't, it's not. It's on the higher end of Marvel content, and on sheer production design, effects, acting, and concept it's head-and-shoulders than most superhero shows. But it's nothing that really transcends the medium, genre, or universe, and if you're not interested on pitch alone I don't think it would win you over.
And of course it's tough to say without seeing the last two episodes, as it's a "mystery box" type show and we haven't opened the box yet.
Depend if you like MCU or not.
Wandavision is kind of opposite of Mando, very light on action heavy on plot and the acting is very good.
I know MCU is not exactly high art but Elizabeth Olsen should get some award nominations. She's channeling all kinds of characters for this show.
You pick the best time to bing it right now. The whole thing is very short, roughly 5 hours and it will be over next week.
Sure, there's MCU stuff in there, but honestly, I'd also add "depends if you like family sitcoms through the decades or not", as that was a huge element, and I think turned off a lot of people at the beginning. It's fun especially if you get the references and what they are trying to do, but I wouldn't blame someone that is unfamiliar/not into the whole thing, and find it boring or weird.
The first two episodes have been my favorite of the whole thing so far. I can see it turning off people that have no nostalgia/memories for what they are mimicking.
Decades of sitcoms are just window dressing and they do not overstay their welcome (no matter fan begs for more). Honestly I don't know if it's good or not, they are so short.
Like I said this is the best time to watch it right now. All the plots are coming together, you can bing it in few hours and decide if you want to finish next week.
Not 2 days following our discussion on the last page and we literally have confirmation that That Darn Cat is part of the same universe as Swiss Family Robinson.

OMFG
I'm a huge Marvel fan and I love it for many reasons - I think the homages they do to the old sitcoms in episode 1 and 2 are fantastic, and as it's gotten more into the MCU side of things I'm really intrigued into where it's going.
My wife isn't really into the MCU at all, but she's also really enjoying it because of the sitcom stuff. She grew up with those old TV shows and Nick at Night, and she also thought that WandaVision is doing them justice.
My fiancé isn't the biggest MCU fan (we watch most of them together and she enjoys some of them, but she barely remebers anything that happens in them) and she's not really a fan of WandaVision much at all.
Like others here she was a fan of the sitcom parts, but everything not related to that she bounced off really hard.
The 4th episode where it goes more real world she lost all interest in the show and didn't even finish it. It's filled with stuff that you need to have payed attention to the MCU movies quite a bit to understand anything that's going on or who the new characters are that they introduce.
Yeah...... I was wondering if I should give this a chance since everybody is talking about it, but I really dislike everything MCU. I guess it really isn't for me then.
Wow, that's going to be crazy. It's good Apple is throwing money at it. 12 hrs of hopefully beautiful animation. Wonder how long that's going to take to release.
I'm not the biggest MCU fan so I haven't watched WandaVision yet (or the second spoder). I'm gonna binge it when it's done though. It looks different at least. (so far) Falcon + Winter Soldier and Loki look exactly like what anyone would expect an MCU series to look like.
I know! It'll probably only be about 7 hours, but if it really is film quality animation, then that's like 4 films' worth of budget (idk how to tabulate budgets lolz) which is crazy. I'm glad Apple is funding them though. I wish Apple would make a deal with Laika to help keep them alive too.
Awesome to see Cartoon Saloon getting more work. Seems that Apple was happy with the Wolfwalkers response. In regards to WandaVision, I don't care that much for the MCU. While I found the first few episodes to be more interesting, i think the show is fine/okay.
The cat is the descendant of one of the cats from the Swiss Family Robinson island that the son brings back when he leaves at the end of the series. This is part of the third phase of the Magic Kingdom Cinematic Universe, however, so it will be a while before it all comes into focus.
i wonder if any of these nbc or even abc sci fi shows will ever take off, like i wanted Emergent too...and now i see Debris, and am like...will it take off or just be a one season wonder :(
At this point they should just plan for any network sci-fi shows to wrap up after 1 season, with maybe a small tease for a second season at the end for the 5% chance it gets renewed.
I've said this elsewhere, but at some point that sort of thinking becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You also have to keep in mind these networks aren't a monolith. I've seen people talking about how NBC cancelled shows 5, 10, 15 years ago... None of the executives who made those decisions are the same executives who are making decisions on their shows right now. The best thing we can point to is that Manifest is going into a third season, and is also on the network. So, personally, I don't think it's as dire a picture as some people are trying to paint. Of course, I also just -want- to see a show like Debris succeed.
I also think, because of COVID screwing up the traditional season, there is actually probably a greater chance of the current/newly premiering shows being given renewals while the networks figure out their shit.
I'm not sure if I can really say because it's such a mix-mash of ideas. It's great as a part of the MCU as well as a homage to sitcoms. It's light on the action, but focuses on the acting aspects which is underrated in that genre. I'd say it stands on it's own fairly well on it's own and I think that's by design given it's the first Marvel product from Disney+.
I love old sitcoms and homages (and enjoy Fox X-Men) so in that sense I want to watch WandaVision, but I don't have any passion for that part of the MCU and Scarlet Witch is one of my least favorite characters so it's hard to swallow. All I'm really interested in is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier from their TV and movie slate.
There is some overhype from MCU heads for sure.
All the people pretending like Darcy is some big leap in her character from the Thor movies when she is just doing the same science geek comedy relief routine again (and in the worst plot thread of the show).

It's nice too see mega thread about a tv show that everyone participate in etcetera. Netflix shows tend to fade too quickly. It's sad people is less and less talk about tv shows here.
Wandavision is approaching 20.000 posts and we are not even in the finale week.

I actually don't think it does at all. It is completely reliant on your knowledge of at least 3 prior movies, Further enhanced if you have knowledge of at least 3 others... And further enhanced still if you have knowledge of the Marvel comics involving these characters.
I seriously don't think anyone will get anything out of the show without that prior investment in the universe. Conversely, I could see something like Falcon and Winter Soldier working pretty well entirely on its own, without needing prior knowledge. Which makes sense, given it was actually designed to be the first Disney+ series from Marvel.
I say all this as someone who generally enjoys the MCU and has seen every released episode of Wandavision.
Which movies do you need to have seen? I've missed a lot of the recent ones and don't plan on watching them
It basically boils down to a woman in grief. That's a common trail in plenty of shows.
Avengers: Infinity War + Endgame, then to a slightly lesser extent Age of Ultron, are the big ones. But also (to varying degrees, for various reasons): Civil War, Thor: The Dark World, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and the Wasp (so far)
I disagree. I mean, yes that is what is happening at a very base level (or so it seems), but the show is entirely and absolutely about referencing and continuing other Marvel storylines rather than any sort of deep character study of a woman in grief.
WandaVision is the first show in a long time(maybe since GoT or LOST) i've counted the days till a new episode came out. I loved the first episode being a big fan of the Dick van Dyke show. It does lead itself more to people who are into MCU, but its been a fun ride so far. It's been fun to read all the theories people are coming up with to explain things.
I'd say Age of Ultron, Captain Marvel, and Infinity War/Endgame are the important ones for Wandavision
