I wish you were tripping balls. Saw a listing for it in an online article this past spring. Basically, almost every new network show coming to us this fall was based on an existing movie or TV franchise.

Pathetic. I could understand it if it were some show cashing in on a RECENT movie/franchise, but this is just sad....

You mean like the new 24-ish show with Keifer Sutherland, and the new 24 w/o Keifer Sutherland.

Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
Oh I agree, same problem. Can you imagine how unoriginal Bachelor Season 41 will be?
Speaking of, the Bachelorette finale should be cited by the DOJ as contrary to the Violence Against Women Act. Jojo had to choose between someone she loved and who loved her, and someone she loved and who was really ambivalent about her. Guess who she chose? Hint: there's a reason Lifetime produced UnReal.
The BiP pilot was dominated by The Chad (I am only halfway through it and it's already being set up as the dominant plot arc when he explodes and who he ritually disembowels on the set and then consumes for protein). The Twins are getting a lot of airtime which is fine by me. Stumpy is back. Big Eyes, Little Eyes is ready for another round of fame whore pegboard, Dumb Dorothy Parker is somehow even more judgy, Date Rape Ike is on The Roid Warrior's tip, and Lace didn't get enough counseling.

Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
what exactly does longevity of a show like Saturday Night Live mean it has to suck? I haven't watched in years but a show that does current event humor doesn't seem to be something that becomes completely unoriginal just because its been around for a long time. The players/writers change regularly...

Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
I guess it doesn't have to, but the show still follows the same basic Lorne Michaels Universe rules that it always has, and to me at least that makes it feel like a relic. It's like the Paar-Carson-Leno-OBrien-Fallon format -- it's a flower pressed in a book, a telegram from a time long past, quaint, but quickly either irritating or more likely sad.
The first rule of entertainment is "don't stay too late at the party." The problem with SNL is the zeroth rule of commerce is "never leave before you've sucked the last dollar out of the rube's wallet."

Somehow I missed that Rectify has a "new" season on Netflix (3rd season was released July last year; 4th season is Oct this year). Solid show. Nothing mind-blowing, very meat-n-potatoes compared to the great series of recent times like GoT, BB, SOA, blah blah blah.

It's writing rivals any other show on TV. GoT edges it out based on production value and acting. Nothing has come close since I started watching GoT until this.

Hard to imagine that Carl Lewis could come across worse than he did in that film.

The 30/30 series is simply outstanding. The one thing that ESPN has done right. I've even loved watching some where I had no interest in the subject at hand, other than random curiosity, to see how they report it (such as the Tonya Harding one). Sure, there are complete gems (Chasing The Badger, Of Miracles And Men, the latter which I bought on DVD) and there are some "lesser" ones (Sole Man, Without Bias), but overall, I'd put the series up there among the best documentaries overall.
