I burned through the Magicians in the past week and I was surprised there were that many fucks in it. Was it like that when it was originally broadcast?

X-O posted:I doubt it. A lot of shows on cable are doing that now and just putting it back in later for digital/streaming releases. Apparently yes, there were apparently (I looked it up), it's just they did what Breaking Bad did in the second season and dropped out the U from gently caress in the broadcast audio. Incidentally Chozen (the FX animated series) is still the only show that I've seen in the US that dropped 'oval office' in the original broadcast (albeit on basic cable) and nobody noticed it. Even Chuck only got away with a 'loving' on network at the 8pm slot.

Zaggitz posted:Did Grimm turn itself around at all? It got so massively poo poo near the end of s3 or 4 that I dropped it off my schedule entirely. The quality dropoff at the end of season 3 or midseason break for 4 was so massive I think most of the thread viewers just dropped it outright.

radical meme posted:I thought the premiere of Taboo was great. If the rest is equally interesting then it will be a wonderful show. I really like Hardy; I think he can say more with a grunt and a shrug than most actors can with an entire dialogue. Hardy is great; there's a moment towards the end of the episode where things turn sour and everybody in the room looks loving terrified of him. He's got the barely restrained rage of Olyphant's Deadwood character down pat.

Pan Dulce posted:Ever have a supporting actor on a tv show leave because they think they can do better on another show as lead? Do either shows, the show they were on previously or the one they get into next ever succeed? Tom Ellis went from OUAT to Rush to Lucifer, it was a lateral move from lead to lead.

Lycus posted:I don't even remember what day Breaking Bad aired despite loving that show. Every earlier AMC show ran on Sunday, it's only when they had enough scripted series (note: not the dogshit Kevin Smith show or that bad reality cop show) that they put them on Saturdays and then throughout the week. Hell on Wheels broke the Sunday trend.

Timby posted:Counterpoint: He wrote and directed Blade Trinity. Blade Trinity was not good primarily because Wesley Snipes had gone off the deep end by that point. They were constantly changing the script and filming with his stand in because he refused to work and would only communicate with the director via post-its written to Blade. Patton Oswalt has a great postmortem on it: quote:Oh, Christ. That was the third Blade movie. And there’s a scene where Blade goes in and confronts this guy for harvesting humans. That scene was supposed to be the whole basis of the film. Blade is fighting for the last shred of humanity. But they thought that it was just so loving grim, so they decided to just have Blade fighting Dracula. It was just one of those; it was a very troubled production. Wesley [Snipes] was just loving crazy in a hilarious way. He wouldn’t come out of his trailer, and he would smoke weed all day. Which is fine with me, because I had all these DVDs that I wanted to catch up on. We were in Vancouver, and it was always raining. I kept the door to my trailer open to smell the evening rain while I was watching a movie. Then I remember one day on the set—they let everyone pick their own clothes—there was one black actor who was also kind of a club kid. And he wore this shirt with the word “Garbage” on it in big stylish letters. It was his shirt. And Wesley came down to the set, which he only did for close-ups. Everything else was done by his stand-in. I only did one scene with him. But he comes on and goes, “There’s only one other black guy in the movie, and you make him wear a shirt that says ‘Garbage?’ You racist motherfucker!”

Argue posted:Does anyone remember this one particularly memorable product placement for a phone app; I can't remember its name or what show it was in, but it involved the show grinding to a halt so that one main character could explain to another how the app worked for like a minute. I think it was for renting/buying cars? Or possibly renting/buying houses. Burn Notice did multiple OnStar advertisements (usually in the process of stealing cars)

Scrubs is sort of odd on a rewatch if you've seen it before because there's a lot of music in the show, and they didn't figure out licensing it until like the fifth season. Netflix in particular did an absolute poo poo job of replacing the music used when they put it on streaming, but even then there's differences between the first broadcast and syndication music. There's even a couple cases where there's 4 versions of music used: first broadcast, syndication, DVDs and streaming.

Wheat Loaf posted:Terminology question about American TV's ratings system: when someone says a programme (for instance) "did a three in the ratings" what exactly do they mean? Generally it's a share; eg if it's a 3 in the ratings then 3% of televisions in the country were tuned into that show. quote:Nielsen may report a show as receiving a 9.2/15 during its broadcast; this would mean that out of all television-equipped households, 9.2% were tuned in to that program, and out of all television-equipped households with a television currently in use, 15% were tuned in to that program
