This site is now basically neckbeards shouting movie/The Wire/The Simpsons references + inside jokes at one another.

Fresh Off the Boat, Scandal, Grey's (black female creator), How to Get Away with Murder, The Catch, black-ish, The Real O'Neals, Dr. Ken, Speechless (disability) + Secrets & Lies season two will have a black lead. And you could argue that The Middle offers socioeconomic diversity (at least for today's TV climate).

Diversity shouldn't only = black. That's incredibly annoying.

There's also Dr. Ken and Secrets & Lies season two has a black lead.

So lighter procedurals, older reality shows, and soaps. Not too unexpected, though I was a bit surprised to see Faking It on top.

Okay, but when are they going to renew Queen of the South?

That's also how low-rated CW shows get fourth seasons. Netflix wants shows with close ends because more people watch them vs. open ended shows, so Nikita, Hart of Dixie, etc. get a chance to go out on their own terms with a reduced episode order.

Syfy and USA are in the middle of rebrands, so that could have something to do with it.

If you're watching a campy, self-aware competition series from RuPaul expecting philosophical debate about drag, you're setting yourself up to fail.

And that premiered in, like, April. So long ago.

*jack off motion*

How dare they give a show 7 seasons and the opportunity to end on its own accord. Bastards!

The Real O'Neals has a lot of promise, as well.

Its ratings definitely weren't in Save a Network territory, either.

I'm in the good-good camp. Felt like a logical extension of NBC's workplace brand from earlier this decade.

NBC had a legal drama in development this season called Miranda's Rights.

It's less likely for something to build audience than immediately pop. The TV industry has dramatically changed since the days of Cheers and Seinfeld - why do you think people were so astounded by the ratings trajectory of, say, Empire or Scandal? Shows very rarely increase as they age.

I thought the show was unfairly derided. It wasn't high art, but it was so harmless and didn't deserve the vicious ire that came its way.

Basically, Kristen Bell is a shitty person who gets killed in a car accident and ends up in "The Good Place" (a twee version of heaven) - except the only reason she's there is because they think she's someone else.

"The part where Quinn was laughing like a maniac was awful."
