Huh... I thought this was supposed to be carrying on from the ending of Cult where
Charles Lee Ray was back in a human body

Definitely a lot more interested in this if that isn't the case.

lmao there's a WWE tie in in one of the Punky Brewster episodes and I think they've said the phrase "WWE Superstar" like a hundred times.

‘The Wire’s David Simon & George Pelecanos Set ‘We Own This City’ HBO Limited Series About Baltimore Police Corruption

Oh. Hell. Yes.

I'll always watch anything Simon does but I really feel like he's sort of stretched his wings and evolved a bit with Plot and Deuce. Those were probably his most "personal" series yet and I look forward to seeing him combine Body-More with a more personal touch

Tuesday night's ratings. The season 7 premiere of The CW's "The Flash" hit a series low, but "Superman and Lois" looks like it doesn't even need "The Flash" as it attracted a bit more people in its totals:

For the 0 people who care, Punky Brewster is definitely chasing after the Fuller House nostalgia. lol

I'm curious how well it's doing for them, if at all. It's really what you think of when you think baseline average inoffensive and background watchable (at 1.5x speed? lol) family sitcom.

I care! :( I've only watched the first two episodes but that accurate though.

Soleil Moon Frye might've been my first crush when I was like, four or five.

I don't remember anything about the original, but was:
her mother a running plot? It almost feels like they're trying to answer a 30 year old question here.

Nah, she just abandoned her, they had a plot around Henry officially adopting her and I thought she showed up in a later episode but maybe not, also thought it was in the grocery store, not in the parking lot but I haven't seen Punky Brewster since I think the Family Channel was showing the reruns in the early 90s so the memory isn't so great.

Hrm that's interesting. After the pilot which they clearly shot way before the series pickup, it kind of disappears as a through line until the end. I was wondering if they were just doing a little bookend to the series as whole, particularly if the show isn't renewed.

Looks like Spielberg might finally get his Talisman series. HR says the Duffer Bros will Co produce with Steve. Show runner will be Curtis Gwinn, exec producer on Stranger Things and former writer for the leftovers and narcos. I for one can't wait. Hopefully they nail it.

This week's US Top 10 Netflix TV shows, for the week of March 7, 2021:

"Ginny and Georgia" is still the number 1 show for this week. "Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan" got knocked out completely after debuting at number 2 last week, with "Murder Among the Mormons" taking it's place. Everything between 3-7 didn't move (aside from "Cocomelon" which went up two spots from last week), and "Bridgerton" is still holding steady at number 9. Part 4 of "Pokemon Journeys - The Series" and season 1 "Pacific Rim: The Black" also round out the Top 10 this week.

1.) Ginny and Georgia (Season 1)
2.) Murder Among the Mormons (Limited Series) (NEW)
3.) Behind Her Eyes (Limited Series)
4.) iCarly (Seasons 1-2)
5.) Cocomelon (Seasons 1-2)
6.) Good Girls (Seasons 1-3)
7.) Firefly Lane (Season 1)
8.) Pokemon Journeys - The Series (Parts 1-4) (NEW)
9.) Bridgerton (Season 1)
10.) Pacific Rim: The Black (Season 1) (NEW)

That soundtrack works.

Am glad it isn't doing a kids are the aliens for the whole plot thing like a few other shows, perhaps that will save it from the cancellation monsters.

    Weird that the creators would just bail on the show like that, especially when they already had a S6 renewal.

    That's such bullshit. There's definitely something the creators of the show aren't saying. Maybe they got into a bad fight or something?

    I hate that Kim's Convenience is cancelled. This season has been good so far and seeing that Simu Liu said his character and Mr Kim won't resolve their divide is a little sad, especially after they started to last week.

    OT title: Another small business shutters in Toronto.

    The Kim's Convenience thing definitely sounds suspicious. The creators suddenly decide to leave? The actors were really disappointed and tried to find a way to keep going? Something happened. Fights over pay or budget?

    What a shame. The show's lovely.

    I'll watch, give it 10 seasons and since it's a WB/Berlanti production an eventual Arrowverse crossover.

    I guess we won't know the story behind Kim's Convenience, but it seems odd that the creators would walk away unless they were just tired of making the show.

    I don't know if it's because it's an "Asian" show, but I was just reminded of the Constance Wu situation with Fresh Off The Boat.
