Oh riiiiiiight. That was silly. Although I think I like that team the best.
Although on Seal Team they finally gave the guy with the dog something to say.

LOL, yeah.
Man I was worried the dog was going to be killed, felt like death flags everywhere.
Both on Netflix March 23rd (my birthday yay). I liked SCD S1, and this one seems like Barrymore and Olyphant are still just having a blast. Plus teh kids were good also so im in. I have no fucking clue what Requiem is about tho, the trailer goes super trippy halfway through.
I liked Champions. They don't have it in a very favorable time slot, but at least it's premier outdid Great News (RIP Great News the best show that will likely get cancelled).

Showtime Developing Comedy 'Fallet' Based On Scandinavian Format From 'Shameless' Alum & Keshet Studios
'The Fifth Beatle': Limited Series Based On Graphic Novel In Works At Bravo
The single best thing about the original series was Adam Godley (more like GODly, iamhereallnitedon'tforgettotipyourwaitressandtrytheveal) as the untalented Inspector Morse stand-in, the rest of it was just mostly ok. But hey, apparently the American remake of The Bridge wasn't awful.
'The Fifth Beatle': Limited Series Based On Graphic Novel In Works At Bravo
The dog is probably the only character they can kill. lol
He is, but the show only has room for like 4 characters with speaking roles. So there are all these "red shirts" that are on missions with them who never say a single line because the network doesn't want to pay them.
Which is fine, but it's really weird for a "tight team" to have 4 people who talk and 10 others who don't. I joked a few weeks ago that you could probably do a spinoff show about these silent guys, where they have their own stupid relationship dramas and whatnot. lol
Sunday night's ratings. American Idol looks like it did about as well as if it kept going on Fox:

Timeless :(((((((((
American Idol will be lucky if it pulls in a 1.5 in a few weeks. One of the reasons ABC picked American Idol in the first place was because they thought they could make it cheap and still pull in the same ratings that it left Fox with but right off the bat costs went through the roof and they ended up spending more on talent than Fox did. $25m for Katy Perry alone is nothing short of fucking madness.

Fox Pilots AI-Based Robot Physical Gameshow 'Man Vs Robot' From UK's Tuesday's Child
The robots will just straight up kill the families in retaliation for how their brethren are treated by Boston Dynamics.
Doesn't seem like it got much of a bump from the 100th episode marketing
People are still watching Hawaii 5-0? Sigh.Doesn't seem like it got much of a bump from the 100th episode marketing
I think anything it does on ABC is better than what ABC was doing for Sundays. I think ABC sundays used to be pretty bad.
I dont know why we need auditions tonight, and then auditions for this upcoming Sunday and monday again :( Auditions is kind of the weakest part to American Idol IMO.
The show has actually done pretty well for ABC. ABC has never had high ratings for a Sunday (maybe like 8 years ago but not nowadays) And it's just a fill in to have reality TV year round.
January 1: The Bachelor
March 11: American Idol
April 20: Dancing with the Stars
May 28: The Bachelorette
The Bachelor, DWTS and The Bachelorette have been renewed for years with ratings of like 1.8 so even if it does worse than Fox, ABC should be happy enough with the ratings to renew it.
Monday is normally "reality TV day" for ABC and everyone knows that so it should be interesting to see ratings tonight.

IIRC, they struggled with the show at first because the budget they had, none of the artists they gave offers to would accept that budget so they had to go over the budget to get judges because they had a hard time finding judges.
They really wanted Katy Perry and got her. They wanted a country artist and got Luke Bryan. And I think Lionel Ritchie was originally supposed to be Pop artist Charlie Puth but he didn't accept their offer.
So if they didn't spend a lot of money, the judges wouldn't of signed up is what I'm saying.
I don't know how much The Bachelor costs but they literally fly the contestants around the world, go to places like Macchu Picchu, go on dates that in the real world would cost a lot of money. Plus, the leads are paid. So it has to be in the millions.
It's definitely not $51M though. I still think American Idol has a chance for a second season at least though.
ABC needs shows. They cancelled almost all of their shows they launched this season and because of this, they have 19 pilots to make for the 2018-2019 season. Way more than any other network. Almost double than the others.

Well you need to spend money to make money, surely having American Idol is better than having another Time After Time, a sunday ABC show that did so bad it only aired five episodes, or Ten Days in The Valley, another ABC Sunday show that did so bad it was moved to Saturday nights,...
This. ABC in 2017-2018 was so bad. Old shows continued to stay strong, but almost every single new ABC show has been cancelled. It's so bad that ABC is making 19 pilots for new shows for the 2018-2019 season because of how many shows they cancelled or are planning to cancel but haven't made official yet (Inhumans). Which is almost double the amount of other networks.
We don't need more shows cancelled. It at least gets a second season in my book.
Part of me secretly thinks that Fox actively wants Bob's Burgers to fail.
Last I heard was around $54 million. 25 to Katy, 15 to Seacrest, Luke and Lionel got bumped up to 7 each after the controversies around Katy and Seacrest came out.
That was one of the most painful segments Ive ever watched on 60minutes, poor Betsy Devos, she struggled. Thought it would have done a bit higher considering she was on it.
Dont know why they wanted to air a second new episode last night, considering the other shows that are on.

Given the fact that freshman shows like Son of Zorn or Ghosted get the spot after a Simpsons airing and their insistence on giving Bob's Burgers a slot with irregular airing and a chance of getting preempted by another program, I wouldn't be too surprised. I'm glad it has survived so long despite how it has been airing.
Yeah, I really don't understand their strategy around when they air episodes. It's so irregular and unpredictable
Season 5 was pretty normal, but starting in season 6:
- 1 episode in september
- 2 in october
- 2 in november
- 1 in january
- 2 in february
- 2 in march
- 5 in april (because 2 episodes were on april 3rd)
- 4 in may (the first "normal" month of 2016
Season 7 was a little better, but look at season 8 so far:
- 3 episodes in october
- 2 episodes in november
- 1 episode in december
- 1 episode in january
- Nothing in february
- 3 episodes in march
- TBD from there
Apple keeps ordering series's. I've lost count of them all.
And Jane the Virgin continues to drop. Feels like a lot of people tuned out last year. Probably
I guess it's fine because according to Gina Rodriguez, next season will be the last one. I'm sure the CW will give it its final season.
after Michael's death.

Was reading an article about this, didn't realize Joanne Wellick from Mr. Robot was in that show, might have gotten me to check out an episode. Still good to see her in more stuff.
I liked the last season but the marketing for the return was bad. I had no idea it premiered already. Never saw a preview. It's like NBC brought it back to sabotage it all over again.
Perfect show to throw up whenever you got a gap in the schedule
They probably get a lot of that shit for free for publicity for the places they go to. It's going to still run in the millions, but at a small fraction of AI. Remember that >$50 mil figure is judge/host salaries ONLY. That doesn't include anything else.
The opening was pretty amazing, though I wish they explained it (cut it off after the car accident)
Deception is on ABC.
ABC actually has a good show on TV this year? Like seriously they cancelled almost their entire lineup of new shows for 2017-2018 and the only one they renewed is The Good Doctor which I still don't believe is good.
I figured Deception would just be another ABC casualty.
You know, I thought the premise sounded cool so I tuned in.
They showed this INSANE and very brief overview of everything so far. Then it started and I was like, I can't do this...
My favorite actress, Nina Dobrev, is back on television as she will star in CBS comedy pilot 'Fam'
I'm excited to see her back on tv, and hopefully someday she won't say no to guest appear on the Hope spin-off too!
