And TV Execs are going to start cutting their wrists in earnestquote:Adults 35-49 and 50-59 have maintained or increased their cable subscriptions, but for the 18-35 set the number who subscribe to cable TV has dropped about 6%: from nearly 3/4 of the 25-34 set (73%) to closer to 2/3 (67%). Meanwhile subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu are all up — Netflix most dramatically so, with a 25% increase in subscribers since last year.

Aye Doc posted:is Seinfeld on any streaming service? If your in Canada and have bell it is. My favor part of this is TV Execs still haven't figured out how to make it work for the bottom line. All they had to do was make Hulu with that commercials and everyone would be happy, but they can't do that.

Isn't Jane the Virgin that show where the premise is some doctor rapes the titular character pregnant, and it's meant to be a comedy? That's a lot of nominations for a really offputting idea.

Yeah, but from what I've seen of it, it's pretty funny. The voice overs during the episodes are killer. Very much like a spanish soap opera.

I'd say go watch the Pilot immediately and it all makes sense but only the last five episodes are available for streaming.  It's a great show that totally commits to the telenovela sensibility, I love it.

I haven't watched it either but I read a review that explained it in a way that made sense. Basically it was an accident by a doctor who is a friend of the family and the sperm was from another friend who had cancer and is now sterile. So it explains why they wouldn't sue and why she would want to keep the baby.

That's close (the Doctor is the sister of the sperm donor and they're not friends of the family), but I should mention that a lawsuit still happens.

It's very whimsical, but the directors absolutely know what they're doing and it's been consistently entertaining. I have no doubts that Gina Rodriguez will win best actress; either that or Jane the Virgin wins best comedy.

I'm pretty sure the Blacklist's whole production budget is more then paid for by it's Netflix d deal. Why a network hasn't cut a production deal with them yet I don't know (I guess the CW is pretty close).

Pedowitz basically all but said Netflix keeps CW going quote:It isn’t just in building a fan base that Netflix is beneficial to the CW. The streaming site provides the CW with hefty license fees for its series that help keep the network afloat. When asked if the CW could “survive” without Netflix, Pedowitz said yes, but hopes it won’t come to that. The reason, I suspect, is that they aren't 100% sure that somehow some way opening up streaming access will bite them in the rear end. Combine that with institutional inertia and probably a little resentment at new players in the field and you have the retarded five episode policy.

Well and CW in particular has been growing pretty rapidly lately. Arrow, The 100, and Flash are all pretty ambitious shows to put out in a pretty short time.. Netflix is probably also a lot more lucrative at this point than DVDs were as an after-air revenue stream.

As I edited in earlier it has a BETTER chance of winning than jane but that's a 5% chance over a 0.01% chance so Honestly if I have a GG vote is probably vote for transparent over SV because while I love SV and absolutely despise transparent the only real value awards shows have is largely as a cultural statement and I think it's important to embrace transparents aims over it's execution, which I think is fairly garbage all around But yeah Gina Rodriguez has no chance of winning an individual golden globe. None. Zero

I don't watch the show, but it's kind of aces that CW had the only network show to crack the 'comedy' and 'actress in a comedy' nominee list. It's the Golden Globes, though; they really like awarding a random newcomer somehow every year (see: B99 winning comedy and actor last year).

It'd be more likely for Transparent to be the 'random newcomer' win than any of the others, I think. (And Viola Davis, but that probably wouldn't be all that surprising of a win.)

Honestly if they where willing to keep the episode back for a month for like 500k (and more depending on viewership) a lot of networks would jump at it.

OITNB is the bandwagon bet, but I sincerely doubt it'll win anything. It'll probably wind up being another ballot filler like Downtown Abbey or Nurse Jackie. Transparent might get some kind of recognition from critics because everybody wants to wear that badge on their chest, but I don't think they're going to hand over the top award to a show shamelessly designed to win awards for, and to legitimize, Amazon.

Transparent might be award bait, but it was actually good, unlike most of Netflix's original series where they just try to shotgun every demographic and hope something sticks. OITNB is the closest Netflix has to semi-recognizable creatives behind it. I guess HoC has Fincher, but he's not actually in charge of anything creative there.

SHUPS 4 DETH posted:I feel like it's pretty well-established that HFPA is a garbage group and the GGs are a fun watch and little else. It's weird to see anyone giving a poo poo about what they nominated. The only reason to care about awards is that they matter to the public and to executives and if a show is on the bubble awards can save it. Awards can mean more people watching and you want people watching shows you like. I don't think awards are a measure of the quality of a show or the loyalty of a fanbase, but in the business of television, they do matter.
