Apparently last night's BBT was less than 19 minutes long. Why are people leaving ad-supported TV again?

Kevin Reilly claimed they are significantly lightening the ad-load on TNT/TBS. Said shows would be around 8 minutes longer.

Sadly Northern Exposure is one of those shows that's basically disappeared due to it's music issues. So many shows have that issue.

Oh, I was wondering why it had disappeared so completely. That does explain a lot.

But man, so many great actors and performances are going unseen.

It came up in the oral history of Blossom on uproxx where they where talking about the reason it isn't in syndication is music rights.

I read the oral history of the Winona Ryder gen x movie and I think everyone involved in that including Ben Stiller thought they were making an important film.

Oral histories are my favorite thing as of late. The ones on the Star Wars Holiday Special and Sir Mix-A-Lot's Baby Got Back video are lots of fun for completely opposite reasons.

Oh, Reality Bites was absolutely intended to be capital-i Important. My God, you should check your library for old Rolling Stone issues, because the interview Ethan Hawke gave after that film's release is priceless.

I remember when Weezer's Hash Pipe music video played on MTV they had to censor the word "'hash." Now you can watch people smoke weed in CBS dramas. The the other day Ice Cube and Kevin Hart smoked weed in Conan O'Brien's show. I think in 5 years we'll see tits and dicks on NBC.

I've seen three episodes, and I think the third is when it actually starts to work. not coincidentally it's when the indian UN lady finally has something interesting to do.
the best bit is how Steven Strait's character is set up as the good guy hero, and then all of his actions have actually been ill-considered and brought disaster to people (like, I'm half-convinced he's going to be responsible for a mass extinction event by the end of the series).

Could swear Hannibal had some tits at some point. Either dissected corpse tits or trippy threesome tits, but tits of some kind.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
It's fine to show tits as long as you show no nipple, and you can show asses as long as nobody sees a hole. That's been relatively true of 10 o'clock for awhile, it's just nobody bothers to push it much. Even NYPD Blue went pretty hard on occasion.

Say no more.

The second episode of Outlander was not as good as the first, but it was okay. They were really inconstant with the CGI of the dude's hosed up legs. That's not a real criticism of the episode, just an observation. It was a really awkward episode, and I think that's the big reason I was less thrilled about it. I'm one of those people who experiences vicarious awkwardness or whatever.

I didn't think PERSON OF INTEREST was doing that bad ratings wise, so why is it getting hosed around so much?

Abrams confirmed it's likely to get cancelled after the this season, but said that it's a shame because the story they had planned for after that sounded amazing. For a show that I barely watched when it started (As in I cared little for it) it got drat good. It'll be a shame to see it go.

I probably would've been watching Person of Interest if they had put it on US Netflix before recently, but easy-access streaming is bullshit, right CBS?

CBS doesn't own the show so they don't feel like doubling down on it is they don't have to, even if it gave them 4 good seasons.

I cant wait for the comic book movie/tv show crash. I have a feeling that it will at least start this year because of over saturation.

Read an article about upcoming movies in 2016 and there were 7 comic book movies. Add the billion loving tv shows and surely its going to crash soon.
