Elementary is moving to Sunday at 10/9c from March 31, with Rush Hour taking its Thursday slot. CSI: Cyber will air two episodes on Wednesday on March 2 and March 9, between the finale of Code Black and the premiere of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.

Well, television ad rates are ridiculously high. I imagine there's ways of rationalizing it (e.g. TV still having the greatest reach, better established measurement tools that prevent outright fraud, better availability due to established relationships between big companies and the networks) but I doubt there's any…

Yes, but just because he's been set up by the plot doesn't mean he's not an offensive caricature. If you tried to do the same thing with race then you'd be on some very thin ground.

I doubt it, but it may not have been the number of viewers that was the key issue. My guess is that the real problem was that Yahoo had trouble attracting advertisers and got a low CPM for their video advertising, as online advertising tends to get a fraction of the amount that broadcast television gets, even on…

Honestly, I think the execs at ABC were trying to help a show they really liked, and it backfired miserably. If they had just burnt off the episodes of Happy Endings in the summer rather than airing them on Friday then USA probably would have picked the show up. Instead, USA got scared off by its low Friday ratings…

On a related note, I've always been a little surprised that nobody seemed to find Derrick remotely offensive, given that he's intentionally a one-dimensional ridiculously over-the-top gay stereotype, even as a deliberate contrast to Max.

I certainly miss the big 4 NBC comedies of the early 2010s, along with their spiritual partner in Happy Endings. It was nice having several good comedies on broadcast, meaning there was something genuinely funny to watch most weeks, and not much has stepped up to replace the void they left. Kimmy Schmidt and Rick &…

It's in broadcast order. In ABC's defense, the first episodes of Happy Endings after the pilot were easily the worst of the lot and the serialized elements didn't really matter. Now, Apartment 23, on the other hand…

New Girl's Max Greenfield also guest starred in a season 1 episode of Happy Endings, as well as both shows using Ludwig Goransson as their composer.

Happy Endings is the spiritual successor to 30 Rock that smuggled itself on the air as a bland Friends clone. Much like 30 Rock, it's primarily a high-speed efficient joke machine rather than a serialized character-driven show, with an emphasis on rapid-fire jokes, pop-culture references, running gags, and often a…

I think the idea behind Yahoo! Screen made some sense, essentially leveraging Yahoo's! existing audience to consume more content, gain a foothold in streaming advertising, as well as bringing different eyeballs to Yahoo!'s web properties. The problem is that they never really had a good strategy and never felt…

This has been sitting on the shelf for 18 months, having been originally scheduled to premiere in Fall 2014. This suggests that Fox is seriously reluctant to air it, despite it seemingly being a gimmie for the post-Family Guy slot, suggesting they have very little faith in the show.

Being blind is a tough affliction.

I've read The Big Short and find it interesting that every description of the movie seems to have little resemblance to my recollection of the book.

There's not much I want in the Steam sale. I can't tell if there's something wrong with me or if the sale is weak. Probably a bit of both.

Television, the drug of the nation, breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

Sadly, I doubt they can keep it up. The problem is that smaller clubs can't afford the depth of the big clubs so they are more liable to both injuries and fatigue.
