As part of their event today ViacomCBS announced that they're changing the name of ViacomCBS to just Paramount. (Technically Paramount Global but expect everything to just call them Paramount.)

Jesus Christ, they're going all in on the Taylor Sheridan production deal as well.

Not only did Season 2 of 1883 get a second season order, they're also doing ANOTHER prequel titled 1932, in addition to a bunch of other stuff. Sheridan now has his hands involved in:

- Yellowstone (season 6)
- 1883 (season 2, or at least more season 1 episodes ordered)
- 6666 - The Jimmy/Texas spinoff of Yellowstone
- 1932 (As above)
- Mayor of Kingstown (season 2)
- A Bas Reeves show starring/produced by David Oyelowo
- Land Man, show based on the subject matter of the Boomtown Podcast starring Billy Bob Thornton
- Lioness, female CIA spy shenanigans - also exec produced by Nicole Kidman and starring Zoe Saldana (this appears to actually be a movie, not a show)
- Tulsa King, starring motherfucking Sly Stallone which appears to be a modern day Kansas City mob show, co-created by Terrance Winter

gently caress me, the man is busy.

I think there is probably varying degrees - He seems pretty drat involved with the Yellowstone-verse stuff, and the movies that he writes/directs but the other stuff I assume he's pretty hands off with. Although that Land Man show and the Bas Reeves show seem right in his wheelhouse so he may be super involved in those too.

And I just read now, that he owns the real life 6666 ranch in Texas.

It was funny how in the Season 2 premiere they looked like they were gearing up to do the same thing with the Nissan Rogue with Claire being gifted one only for it to be stolen after like 10 minutes and a few episodes later it's being used to smuggle people across the border into the US.

Been doing a rewatch of Seinfeld. Long story short it still holds up.

By the 4th season when you have Seinfeld's comedy bits interacting with an episode's plots, and the serial nature of the show really comes thru with the characters dating or commenting on dates thru a slew of episodes, and alot of the comedy just being these friends hanging out and silently reacting to what's going on with each other....and I can't think of another comedy that has ever reached all that.

Like Seinfeld felt very real, very silly, and kinda avant garde. What an amazing show.

Out of all the television I've watched in my life, I've never seen a single episode of Seinfeld. Lots of clips, sure, but never a complete episode. I may have to remedy that soon.

The thing about Seinfeld is it's a pretty good depiction of friendship in your early 30's.

George and Jerry went to high school together, Elaine is Jerry's ex, Kramer is a neighbor, plus a rogue's gallery of reoccurring acquaintances, and everyone is mean to each other.

Bobby Carnivalle (I know if probably spelt that wrong) is one of those actors that transfixes me. He is so goddam intense.

Him being married/together with Rose Byrne is one of the biggest Hollywood odd couples to me as well.

There is an episode of Boardwalk Empire where his character is almost killed by an assassin that ambushes him while he's getting choked during sex. He then walks around shooting people while naked and covered in blood, belt still around his neck.

I just recently started watching it for the first time because it's finally on Netflix.

I'm somewhere in S2 now or maybe S3. drat there's a fuckton of it

It's a little hard to keep making headway, though probably only because there's so much else I need to catch up on, and most of it is so much more serialized that it takes that much more concentration and commitment. Seinfeld is so bite-sized it doesn't build up any of that momentum.

Yeah its shocking how true to life it feels sometimes. Prob the most realistic comedy ever made outside of Roseanne and Malcolm in the Middle.

Sirotan is a seal.


Was channel surfing the other day and found that Lifetime is doing a marathon of Castle. I watched this forever ago and yet got sucked in again, and am now on to season 3. Was reading some behind the scenes stuff about why the show ended the way it did (after 8 seasons they fired Stana Katic for "budget reasons" and were going to move forward with only Nathan Fillion, then the show was cancelled entirely) and the story seems to be that Katic and Fillion absolutely hated each other and were not even on speaking terms off-camera by the end of the show. Their on-screen chemistry is insanely good so I can't tell if they're just that good at acting or if that rumor is complete bullshit. My usual read on that kind of story is Fillion was a sexpest, but as far as I know those kinds of stories haven't cropped up from other sets. I know he's a big Joss Whedon supporter though...

Has Fillion said anything in support of Whedon? He hasn’t offered any criticism of him, but that’s different from support.

Maybe I'm mixing him up with somebody else. I could have sworn I'd read something a ways back about him coming out in support of Whedon, but searching for that now isn't bringing anything up.

You're thinking of Alan Tudyk, he was unfortunately pretty vocal in his defense of Whedon. Then again, this was when poo poo first started coming out over a year ago, he may feel differently now.

I wish I got to hang out with friends as much as they do, evern if everyone was as rear end in a top hat. In my defense this period got ruined by covid but still.

I did like Seinfeld though, good show. I had no idea who Larry David and only watched Curb afterwards, but it immediately made sense where the humor is coming from.

The only bad thing I can think of for Fillion is him not saying anything after one of his costars on The Rookie quit after a season due to racism on set and he didn't say anything. Or maybe he did eventually but he didn't at the time.

Yeah. There was a single tweet after the Ray Fischer stuff first broke that said this.

quote:

Wasn't there, but I have known Joss for 17 years, I honestly can't even imagine it and I have a pretty good imagination."

He then later apologized for commenting on a situation that he wasn't witness to.

So it was a single knee jerk tweet made right when the first accusations came out from Ray Fisher that he probably shouldn't have made and then walked back later.
