It's basically a 30-minute episode that would have been perfect for Charlie to show up alive at the end being stretched to 60 minutes for no good reason

I like when shows like this end with "IF YOU RETARDS WOULD JUST GO AWAY WE COULD HAVE STOPPED WHEN THIS WASN'T HORRIBLE FOR US TO DO EVERY WEEK" so I'd give that a solid 3/5

At least someone got a laugh out of this show. Also Chuck Lorre is at least as much of a whiny dick as Dan Harmon, he just doesn't make shows anyone here likes so we don't talk about him.

raditts posted:Panel shows just really don't thrive on American TV. I'm not really sure why but American panel shows tend to be really bad and feel forced. I got to thinking. Panel games work when they're run in the same mindset that handled Match Game in the seventies: the game was just a springboard for the panelists to riff off one another. And the people running it knew how to let a conversation run its course without trying to steer it the entire time. While Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and @Midnight have been good starts, it just took us this long for American producers to start latching on to the concept again. That, and at least as far as game shows are concerned, there's been more pressure on productions to try and pack the same amount of show into a shorter run-time. That's meant a lot of producers are having to rely on editing as a tool to drive the narrative -- when it just used to be a way of cutting out flubbed questions and missed cues. It's lead to stories like a friend of mine being stuck in the audience at a Deal or No Deal taping for over nine hours on just one game, because the producers wanted to make sure that the result of every decision had the right reaction shots. As productions got used to the idea, it became the sort of situation where every problem is a nail when you realize you have a new hammer. The problem is that too much editing can strip out what makes a show unique and turn it into something kinda bland and sterile.

When a show like Empire gets crazy good ratings, how long does it take for the network to turn that into additional ad revenue? If it's not until next season, there's no guarantee the good ratings will continue, a la Glee. Similarly, when something like The Slap bombs, does the network have to pay back advertisers if the ratings are "too bad"? If not, there don't seem to be any bad repercussions other than needing to find a replacement.

I'd just listened to the episode of You Made It Weird with him on it where he spoke openly about his struggles with addiction and how he'd come to terms with it and wanting to be clean. Someone on Reddit (I know) posted that they were at what turned out to be his last stand up show like the night before he was found dead. He talked openly about his drug use but also talked about being sober. It's a hell of a struggle, and what tends to happen, particularly with heroin users, is that after falling off the wagon they take a dose they think will be fine for them, without realising their tolerance levels have dropped and that's how they overdosed. It's insane to think the guy was 30.

It sure looked like something that would keep the oldsters watching.

This is interesting. I didn't realize that AMC bought operational control of BBC America, but they are premiering season 3 of Orphan Black on all AMC networks. That's AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV and WE tv.

You mean Roseanne who openly made the last season of the show and refused fired him because he basically wanted to make the show what Mom is now after he got sober. I"m not saying he's remotely a good person but he's better then Roseanne.
