K, but like, that’s gotta be it, right? They can’t do a show set in the 80s that lasts more than the 80s did.

Some may, but it seems like a lot of animated shows these days have a lot of episodes ordered upfront then parsed out in “seasons” by whatever they’re shown on (this is a huge point of contention for the staff since they’re not getting paid more).

Oh yeah, sure all those CBS shows. But like everywhere else, you’re not going to see may shows running longer than, say, five years anymore. And even then, the seasons are usually no more than 13 episodes (which was the norm for, say, cable programming, and that’s become what streaming shows are).

Is this the last TV show to reach 100 episodes?

How do you know you hate it if you’ve never watched it?

“New York Lonely Boy” was the best song of 2021.

I think feels way more like 30 Rock-style than Fey/Carlock’s Mr. Mayor.

My mom talked to the Hallmark people before that store closed and said the owners are interested in having the whole space turned into apartments and such, which is why their lease wasn’t renewed. The TJMax’s lease is up in a year from, I think.

I live right by the only one in NJ; it’s gotten so pathetic and hardly even seems worth keeping open.

I’ll say this: at least the Little Mermaid singing things actually incorporated game play. Watching “Let It Go” happen shot-for-shot the same as the movie with no actual additions beyond Sora/Goofy/Donald reactions was bad.

If only Stephen Colbert’s Fairview was an elaborate prank.

He just came back in Picard!

I’m kinda salty that the year the Muppets finally won an Oscar for their song, they didn’t get to perform it, but Encanto gets to do a song they’re not even nominated for.

What does a yellow lightsaber mean?

My thought on this kind of thing is usually: do something new. Don’t reboot FRIENDS with a new cast; do a different hang-out show. I get it’s about brand-recognition, but it just opens up unfair comparisons to the original. Let the thing stand on its own.

It’s one of the few cable channels that’s not on autopilot showing all day movies or marathons of a sitcom, and actually still relates to its original goal. Like IFC doesn’t play anything pertaining to indie films anymore; their schedule right now is all day Two and a Half Men. Or Logo, which was launched as a…

TCM lives to see another day.

I loved that show and it sucks that it’s like nowhere to stream; made it hard to recommend it to friends.

I’m not disliking the format use here, but I do think some media taking on this format need a stronger in-universe reason for why they’re the subject of documentary. And there’s others like that Disney+ High School Musical show that acts like a mockumentary, but there aren’t actually cameras or crew following them at…

That’s good to hear. I checked it out on a whim and found it very entertaining.
