Brooklyn Nine-Nine is reaching its 100th episode next month... Pretty crazy to realize they're already that far in!

But not because of the abuse stuff, it's because they just realized he hasn't delivered an episode in two and a half years.

He has two other shows on their network as well, Better Things and Baskets.

On the opposite end I believe he doesn't do anything hands on for One Mississippi.

The antagonist based on him in season 2 is very hands on.

He pioneered selling content directly to consumers via the Internet (which made him a ton of money selling him and his friends' standup specials and then subsequently lost it all self-financing Horace and Pete and then releasing it zero fanfare or advertising)

Louis CK posted:

A lot of you might remember that about two years ago, I created a series called Horace and Pete (still available at louisck.net). I paid for that show myself. When I did it, I told myself that I was parting with the money forever. It wasn�t an investment. It was a 4.5 million dollar grant to the "Make whatever the gently caress I want" Foundation.

By that approach, I was able to make and roll out the show exactly the way I saw it, the way I wanted the audience (you) to see it, without any concern for commerce or profit.

In the end, the show made all the money back and more (with zero advertising) through website sales, and through licensing it to HULU, I was able to actually make a sizable profit for me and the actors and some of the crew, who own a piece of the show. That was a pretty good result.

I saw on another forum (probably Blu-Ray.com, because of course) that some people were excited by the possibility of a Harry Potter TV show. Because 7 (8?) movies obviously weren�t enough.

13 when you count the 5 prequel movies

Last week TV critics received screeners of the upcoming 6 new episodes, so they can't be too far off.

With the fall TV season coming up I've decided to do a little experiment. If a show does not have a thread the day of new episodes starting I will make it.

Future Man was not really about video games as much as pop culture in general.

Edit: that makes it sound worse.

Not to sound all :lost:

here but really it was about the characters, and their development throughout the eason.

Don't bother trying to get someone into BCS if they don't like breaking bad, I don't really see the point and a lot of the nuance is lost

I'm not sure, I think BCS stands pretty well on its own and is so outstanding that it could be enjoyed even without having watched BB.

Fuller left STD as well and that didn�t suffer from it (it only improved as it went on, even), so the next season American Gods might turn out just fine as well.

It's very good, but ymmv if you don't care much about Elizabeth II and the royal family. If you're the kind of person who loves watching shows for good acting I'd say it's worth it, also.

I love period dramas + the royals so it was 100% my jam, personally.

And how in the world did the witch spinoff not get picked up by CW?

quote:

Netflix, the streaming platform gave producing studio Warner Bros. TV a two-season pickup offer it could not refuse. The CW � which also has another female witch drama in the works, a Charmed reboot with Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman � had committed only to development. Additionally, by going with Netflix, WBTV is retaining full ownership of the Sabrina series. (Riverdale is a co-production with CBS TV Studios per the CW business model, and so would�ve been The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina had it stayed at the broadcast network.)

Something tells me there might not be enough people watching this year to warrant a thread, esp if it's been a month already without one.

Except there is a thread, and we have been posting in it all this time.

It's snappy sitcom with a cast of four who have amazing chemistry as a whole. It's good. If it's not for you, that's fine, but that doesn't make it a trash show imo.

I just don't see anything wrong with Will & Grace coming back, being actually good (if dated, but let's face it people watching W&G want that 90s sitcom feel) instead of a trash heap, and getting recognition.

Also I'm very glad Debra Messing has returned to her true calling: physical comedy and pratfalls tbh she's great at 'em

Season 9 is amazing, it�s turned into the funniest comedy of the entire year tbh. The writers and four leads are such complete masters of their crafts.

It has also singlehandedly turned me around on the concept of revivals. I hope the revival of Roseanne is going to be just as good.

I'm like 3 episodes behind but this season has sucked a big bag of dicks.

Yeah this current one is one of the all-time weakest seasons but the season earlier this year (with Officer Sarah winning) was one of the all-time greatest, so that makes up for it.
