Oh, we're finally becoming the D'Onofrio appreciation thread I've always wanted?!

Bring back Goren!

Or at the very least give him a cable drama.

Sunday night's ratings. Let's see how the Oscars did:

No surprise at all the reruns there. Funny seeing a movie listed... I don't think many channels even bother hosting primetime movies, with the rise of streaming. I feel like there was always a moving playing on weekday nights on most networks.l

I think I just remember Sunday night Disney movies on ABC. Maybe that was around the time that ABC was bought by Disney?

They also hosted it on network tv (at least, in Canada called "The Wonderful World of Disney").

I mostly remember the movies on Fox. Either a family, comedy, or action movie. Although it would pisse me off as a kid, because they were heavily cut for time and censored. I used to tape the movies I didn't own on vhs, and hated how stuff was cut from when I went to the theatee :/

Crown is going out to distributors for the project.

Was Barbarella too high brow? Was the name recognition that valuable? I don't get this one at all

I had no idea they were cut down and censored? My parents rarely took us to the theater so TV was how I saw a lot of movies. Thats interesting. "The Wonderful World of Disney" sounds like it could be the name of what I watched. Did that have Tinkerbell flying around during the intro and showing a castle and water on the screen?

Emma Thompson Sets Up Long-Lost Hollywood Script 'Harrow's Alley' With Bad Wolf
One of Hollywood's long-lost scripts, period horror thriller Harrow's Alley, could finally see the light of day after British actor and writer Emma Thompson partnered with His Dark Materials producer Bad Wolf to develop it for the small screen. The project is set up at HBO, sources said.
...
Harrow's Alley is set during the black plague in the 17th century and follows an English town as it deteriorates. It follows the fortunes of two men, likeable but lawless rogue Ratsey and well-meaning alderman Harry, who are both trying to survive the dangers of the time.

Not sure if this is a show but Deadline has it filed under "TV" so. But the combination of Emma Thompson + period horror thriller is enough to excite me.

The worst contender was Home Alone 2. Loved that movie, but only had my taped copy. Now if I rewatch it, the cut scenes stick out like a sore thumb, since I've already forgotten them :/

For Disney, I only recall that they showed the electric parade between commercial breaks. Also, it looks like Wonderful World was ABC, but what I saw was different... This intro was what I remembered (such nostalgia!)

OUAT sucks. Just watch the Magicians. The best show on SyFy and probably the best fantasy show on TV (next to Thrones).

Every time I see a commercial for The Magicians, it looks interesting. I should watch it, but just haven't had the time to do so with as many shows that I watch already.

Is it on Netflix or Hulu?

I guess this is the thread to ask but for the life of me I can't find any details on whether The Last Kingdom season 3 is in production or not. Just some folks saying that it should be coming back for season 3 but no confirmations. Have you guys heard anything?

I've been looking too and last time I checked I couldn't find anything. Finding info on British TV shows can be very difficult.

It's listed as ongoing on the production company's website, and that's the best I can offer. This is so true though:

There's movement on HBO's Lovecraft Country adaptation as they've hired a director for the pilot.

Yann Demange Joins Jordan Peele, J.J. Abrams for HBO's 'Lovecraft Country'
Yann Demange, the director of '71 and the upcoming Matthew McConaughey movie White Boy Rick, is teaming up with Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams for HBO's Lovecraft Country.

Demange will direct the first episode of the supernatural racial drama and exec produce it as well.

The show is being exec produced by Peele, Abrams and Ben Stephenson.

Lovecraft Country is based on the 2016 novel from Matt Ruff. It follows a man named Atticus Black as he joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a H.P. Lovecraft story.

Misha Green is writing and also exec producing.

Cool. Good to see that's still moving forward since HBO development is glacially slow sometimes.

Interesting, I guess that means the show is farther along than I thought. Also, for those of you like me who thought that this put Demange out of the running for Bond 25, turns out the films typically undergo principal photography in December/January. So, this likely means the pilot will film in the summer-fall or Demange is bowing out of the Bond race.

The Magicians is truly great show nobody else seems to watch. First two season are on Netflix right now.

The show and characters have gone through so much by season three it's amazing.

Seriously, just stop what you're doing and watch the first episode after this post! I really don't want it to be cancelled. Get those Netflix hits in now, when it might count for something.
