muscles like this! posted:Netflix has canceled The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale. I'm guessing their "binge" experiment didn't work. What the gently caress It probably cost like $20 per episode, why even bother cancelling it  I'm catching up on Preacher and anyone who says season 3 doesn't absolutely loving rip is mental.

Losing Joel McHale and Michelle Wolf in one day will surely upset dozens upon dozens of Netflix viewers.

It's incredibly amusing to me that after spending the entirety of Season 2 flashing forward to the famous Manson killings in fear of the audience getting bored, Aquarius still got canned before any of the investigating or manhunt happened. And that's like the drat hook.

I watched one episode of it lmao. Should finish at some point. Also yeah, was going to mention the Jump Street movies for Hill but I haven't seen them to know if he's good in 'em or if Tatum is the draw. RIP McHale I wish there was a decent way to watch

Joel McHale's Netflix show was basically the cheapest show ever made and was the show on Netflix where Netflix actors came to hawk their Netflix shows. Netflix has all that data though, so it must have been doing extremely poorly, even when considering it as promotion.

Seemed pretty clear to me it was doing badly when they decided to make the back half of it a binge drop, tbh. drat shame though, I imagine the most expensive part of producing that show was paying McHale and some of the non Netflix guests, and it was indeed a good excuse to hawk a bunch of Netflix stuff. it's k though I can just blame Paul Feig's lovely bits for the cancellation

I just didn't understand who the show was for. It was like The Daily Show but instead of news it was clips of really trashy TV. But people have kinda grown out of making fun of media they don't like, they just don't watch it now because watching something just because there's nothing else on isn't a thing anymore. And people who enjoy trashy tv ironically just... actually watch it now and embrace it.

I do think it's true that nowadays people just ignore all the poo poo on Basic Cable (see: that John Oliver segment the other night where he lists those real actual shows like "Southern Fried Homicide") but to me that only seems like it would make it MORE likely you'd want someone to weed (lol) through the chaff and find the best clips for you speaking of which this season of Floribama Shore is not bad but it's not nearly as good as season 1 of Jersey Shore, which was up there with S1 of The Real World.

I'm pretty sure there are straight up TV shows that are just filming other people watching TV and making comments on it. I know I have a friend who wouldn't shut up about one of them a couple years back lmao. Hell hatewatching is such a huge thing in online spaces, I think riffing on media they don't like or trashy stuff is more popular/widespread now than when The Soup was first around. Lurdiak posted:Hmmm maybe that's true. But I just don't think the way people consume media is the same as it was when The Soup was on. This does make sense tho for why the show may not have done very well. Everything they riffed on on The Soup was typically something you'd probably seen before or caught a bit of while surfing channels.

I loving looooove Jersey Shore, and not even like a guilty pleasure love like I genuinely thought it was excellent reality television-- you're right about it being up there with OG Real World, there's just something that feels very organic about how it all came together and how everyone played off eachother. Like yeah it's reality tv so it's jushed up and they build w/e storyline they want out of the footage they get, and I'm sure producers were needling people to say or do certain things at opportune times, but it just never felt as scripted as so much of the other reality fare out there. But the core cast is just so goddamn loveable despite being such trash. I can't think of anyone I disliked except for maybe some of the girls who rotated in in later seasons, whose names I can't even remember lmfao. I still need to watch the latest reunion season but lmao I def look forward to everyone being nearly a decade removed from that first season and in much diff places in their lives, esp the ones who have families now. JWoww is my spirit animal.

JWoww rips and takes no poo poo. i never really enjoyed watching Snooki except when she was falling down drunk at 11 AM on the beach and exposing her hoohah to everyone lmao but yea everyone else has something about them to like and can we talk about how the Ronnie/Sam situation was so insane. they broke up and got back together literally every season almost. at first it was annoying but then it got so loving absurd that these two would not let go of each other that it became funny and kind of heartbreaking

I wish I could go back in time and watch the episode where Snooki gets punched again b/c I think it elicited one of my loudest gay gasps. That's some riveting television tbqh Man Ronnie seemed like the dude with a good head on his shoulders at the beginning, but lol did that ever prove to be not accurate at all. e: also I love snooki tbqh but she is a combo deal w/ jwoww imho, one without the other just feels wrong

Open Source Idiom posted:I accept that child actors are probably going to be bad, but you'd think he'd have picked up how to act somewhere along the way. Shots fired at the Riverdale thread. So my buddy had an emergency yesterday and I ran over to watch his kids while they took care of it. Before I passed out on the couch his daughter was watching a show called I Am Frankie about an android teenager being hidden from the company that made her by the family of her designer. It was basically Small Wonder with the serial numbers filed off. Is it just cool to totally rip off 80's shows these days? Because I have this idea for a show about an alien named RALF...

I think it's the tonal mismatch that makes the finale so effective because really where this was all heading wasn't even subtext, it was text right back in episode 1. I would be so disappointed if this gets axed.
