muscles like this! posted:FX has announced they're developing a Welcome to Night Vale TV series. I'm intrigued, I'm guess they are going to do it the same way as they do the books where it's a side story? This could be a complete clusterfuck or the weirdest thing on TV. I'm still waiting for a drat "Beyond Belief" TV show though starring Paget Brewster and Paul F. Tompkins. I wouldn't kick a "Sparks Nevada" show out of bed either Syfy. Just as long as you cast Marc Evan Jackson and Mark Gagliardi. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Dec 9, 2017 |

I kind of feel like to be true to the conceit of the podcast they'd have to stage it as something like The Office for the joke to carry over, unless it's just going to be an anthology show that just uses the title or something.

The books are essentially an anthology in the same universe, so it could work that way.

Murphy Brown had a feud with the Vice-President of the United States once and who remembers anything about Murphy Brown now other than how it had a feud with the Vice-President of the United States once? I wonder what big shows on right now will leave a memorable legacy once they're gone and which ones will be forgotten? Which ones will be like LOST where they're fairly well-remembered but only as a relic of their time which had a bad impact on other shows?

precision posted:oh wow, yeah i'd entirely forgotten about Murphy Brown and that show was massive too There's loads of TV shows that are forgotten but the thing that's notable about something like Murphy Brown or even L.A. Law being forgotten is that those shows were huge in their time. Those were the shows that monopolised the Emmys for about a decade but just aren't talked about at all any more. I'm pretty sure that both of them (and NYPD Blue) got their complete series on DVD in Europe long before they did in America too. I think one thing a lot of those shows - and they were mostly Steven R. Bochco and David E. Kelley cop and lawyer shows - have in common is that they were in the weird position of being "prestige TV" in the era when even serial dramas were still 22 episode seasons and split between episodic with overarching plots and completely serialised. The West Wing was the last one of that type which I think was really big, and it was on at the same time as The Sopranos, which introduced the modern concept of prestige TV in my opinion.

Wings was one of the very few NBC Thursday slot-filler shows that managed to survive, much less thrive. It was Cheers' lead-out, then its lead-in, spent a while between Mad About You and Seinfeld and was then strong enough to bounce around the schedule for its final 2 years, to wherever the network was trying to establish a new weeknight comedy block. These days, you say "Wings" and my mind immediately goes to Seinfeld's first post-show SNL monologue.

People who have xfinity and the iPhone app: has the recording functions completely disappeared? I can see what’s scheduled, but not delete, and any show page only lets me look up info now, but not record. Insanely annoying! (Also the bug that shows a difference %age free to the box will forever annoy me).

Wings is still in heavy rerun rotation around the country. So it definitely lives on.Wheat Loaf posted:Murphy Brown had a feud with the Vice-President of the United States once and who remembers anything about Murphy Brown now other than how it had a feud with the Vice-President of the United States once? Murphy Brown on the other hand is probably one of the more high profile comedies of its era and it seems to have completely disappeared into thin air.

Dammit I didn't know about (Psych movie spoiler) I didn't know about Timothy Omundson's stroke till this thread and I'm not going to lie I literally broke out during his scene. Feel so bad for him, Psych and Galavant are two of my favorite things on TV in the last 10 years.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:Here's the Real Actual Schur Arc: Oooh ok I get it 1. Leslie is a weird Michael Scott type who is in love with the unlikeable man with the big face and her staff are weird in unlikeable ways 2. The man leaves, Leslie becomes a hypercompetent weirdo with unending enthusiasm, the characters all fit a better archetype 3. Leslie runs for congress or the senate or whatever, Ben and the fit hypochondriac guy become crowd favorites 4. Leslie wins 5. Leslie is a senator or whatever 5a. Leslie loses a recall election 5b. Leslie goes back to parks department but becomes head or something 6. Leslie is back in parks but there’s some added characters And April and Andy are super annoying despite Audrey Plaza being a hilarious angel and Chris Pratt being super charismatic.

Ugh, yeah it’s really annoying not to manage it while in work or something. I’ll check their forums and see what’s up. E: quote:Due to a legal ruling, for the foreseeable future we are removing the remote scheduling of DVR recording features. We apologize for the inconvenience, we are actively pursuing an appeal of the ruling. This screams of patent troll nonsense.

I like Chris Pratt a lot, but I think I had Pratt Fatigue or something for a while, typecasting is fine but he was in a lot of big stuff playing more or less the same dude every time. Too much too fast. I would like for him to be Nathan Drake.
