sbaldrick posted:How the gently caress did that even make it past the basic script stage in 2014? Or maybe the better question is how far Sci-Fi has fallen as a network. I haven't seen it yet but all the talk points to this being another thing on Siffy that should be done by The Asylum.

Metal Loaf posted:They're also contractually obliged to keep the world "family" in the channel's name. I understand they planned to change it after they bought it, only to find out it wasn't an option. Yeah, they had originally planned on naming the channel "ZYX." Because it was supposed to be the complete opposite of what was on ABC, you see.

Irish Joe posted:Ten minutes is too long to wait for something to happen. Give me the elevator pitch. A video of a bear is interrupted by a seemingly innocent infomercial that slowly (really slowly) becomes increasingly disturbing. A woman suffers from a psychotic breakdown due to the side effects of the drug that the infomercial is selling. It's honestly quite uninteresting; quite sad that this is what some of the goons consider entertainment.

Tim and Eric have been doing that 'descent into madness' schtick for over a decade now, and Adult Swim did the exact same thing like a month ago with Too Many Cooks. How many times is Cartoon Network going to beat that horse before they realize its dead? (if The Greatest Event in Television History is any indication, two more times)

Because I still hear people talk about Too Many Cooks like it just happened yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised if this latest one goes viral too.

Adult Swim is doing something right. They Basic Cable's #1 Network with young adults for the 10th year running. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/20...ve-year/340729/

Yeah but that's cheating because they only count the Adult Swim hours and not the cartoon network ones.

raditts posted:They don't have a choice, it's a stipulation of owning the Family Channel and they somehow didn't realize that until after they bought the station. I'm surprised Disney hasn't shuttered the existing channel and relaunched it, but I guess dealing with all of those cable system contracts is more of a hassle than giving up one hour to the religious right.
