What shows were intentionally sabotaged by the network in order to have an excuse to cancel them? Sometimes, somebody at the network wants to cancel a show for some reason, but the show is “too successful” to cancel without cause. So they do everything they can to make the show’s ratings go down, such as intentionally switching around the timeslot to something worse, cutting the budget, doing less publicity, etc. Then once the ratings go dow…

Shows you remember but nobody else does

Shows you remember but nobody else does I think a lot of us have those memory-hole shows where we were once obsessed with it, but it seems to have vanished into the ether of collective pop culture memory and nobody ever mentions it. Maybe we can all share some obscure memories? I have a couple. One was “The Powers of Matthew Star” which I suspect was a one-season show and with which I…

Britt Lower performance on Severance s2 e3 last night was absolutely incredible

Britt Lower performance on Severance s2 e3 last night was absolutely incredible She did some of the best acting I’ve ever seen while playing Helena pretending to be Helly. She does a great fuckin job of playing the 2 different versions but this was so much more difficult and subtle. Just amazing stuff. This show is stupidly good, every aspect is a 10/10 and I am a tough audience. submitted by /u/haverchuck22 …

The CW’s Nikita was a really cool show

The CW’s Nikita was a really cool show Okay okay, it was great for 2 seasons, then season 3 was so and so and I can barely remember season 4. But that aside it was pretty cool and entertaining. The cast was pretty solid, the fight stunts very good as far as network tv was concerned. It had the right amount of shadow government intrigue and Maggie Q kicking ass. submitted by /…

Rewatched Jury Duty show and have a question

( www.reddit.com )

Rewatched Jury Duty show and have a question With the return of Joe Schmo, I decided to rewatch Jury Duty. In the reveal, the judge tells Ronald he has a “non-optimally designed heart.” Why non-optimal? The judge complimented him and said he was letting people in with his heart. It seems optimal to me. Any ideas why he phrased it that way? submitted by /u/tune79r

What Made-for-TV movie would you love to see again?

( www.reddit.com )

What Made-for-TV movie would you love to see again? From maybe the 70’s to the early-00’s, TV movies were a regular staple: Wether stories by big authors like Stephen King, Based-on-a-True Story dramas, or just casual movies-of-the-week, there seemed to always be something decent you could often catch. Anyone have any good memories? submitted by /u/VampireHunterAlex

When can we trust character consistency?

( www.reddit.com )

When can we trust character consistency? At what point do we stop disregarding facts we learned about characters in Season One that were later abandoned or contradicted in the rest of the series? For example, in Succession, Roman Roy was shown to have kids in Episode 1, but that idea was scrapped, and we now just laugh it off as an early inconsistency. At what point can we start trusti…
