People should probably stop giving Bryan Fuller jobs, because I really fail to see the value he provides on top of his unwillingness to ever finish what he starts. I dunno how you can spend 10 million per episode of a single season of a tv show then throw a temper tantrum and quit a project when the production reasonably asks you to stop spending so much goddamn money on a low rated, middlingly acclaimed tv show.

It was probably his most popular show that he stayed on (unless I'm remembering wrong, it had pretty drat good ratings for the first season) but everyone was kind of hosed over by the '08 strike.

I'm like 90% sure it got renewed BECAUSE of the strike, because they needed more scripted television and had none in development for obvious reasons.

They had nine episodes for S1 written before the strike even started. Fuller then retooled the ninth to be a season finale rather than do the full season one order iirc. Then like many shows when it came back after the strike, it struggled in ratings and got canned.

It was down to 7 millionish viewers by the season finale. Dunno what the 18-49 share on that was, but it was probably mediocre at best. I sincerely doubt the show would've gotten renewed sans strike especially considering it lost half of its viewers from the premiere in two months I mean we don't know, but every indication looks otherwise

Did all that $10 million go to paying Ian McDhane? Because the 4 or 5 episodes I saw didn't look anywhere near that price tag.

I personally think it's safe to assume it would have gotten a third season, sans writer's strike, but who knows beyond that. The show may have been a diff beast entirely if season one wasn't cut short, anyway.

Vikings is back and more violent than ever. Ivar & Pals raid a church in York, murder drat near everyone, pour molten gold down a priests throat while he’s held down, and then drag his corpse all over the place while it’s tied to a horse.

Isn't that how it usually went down, though? Vikings would raid during church services, then later the Saxons/etc would attack the vikings during their weekly bath day.

Right, so why continue doing it when you know the Vikings just murdered king aelle and ecbert and have no signs of stopping.

I watched to Rockefeller tree lighting on NBC last night for a little bit with my wife. Glad they stole all the roofies/anxiolytics/uppers/whatever from Lauer's sex dungeon to give to the rest of the Today show hosts. That or they are true professionals.

I mean, I believe it. I know how that Giant Toblerone bit went viral, it had to be at least somewhat successful. I’m just...whatever interest I had in it gave way to apathy long enough; it’s just obnoxiously hip. If it was cancelled, I wouldn’t bat an eye. But I’m weirdly glad it exists.
