Sash! posted:Original Running Man was a game show, because they didn't have reality shows. We can do it better now because of that. It's an indie flick called Series 7: The Contenders (2001) It starts out pretty cool but completely falls apart at the end.

http://deadspin.com/report-nbc-asks-olympics-to-reorder-parade-of-nations-1784386062 NBC has asked the IOC to re-order the opening ceremonies so the US team walks in later on (the order is alphabetical based on the host country's language) for the sake of ratings. On the one hand I get where they're coming from, but it's hard to buy it when they're already tape-delaying the ceremonies by an hour.

DJExile posted:A law firm is exploring a class-action suit against Disney over securities fraud, mostly basing around the huge drop Disney's stock took when they announced 3 million subscribers had been lost. I have to imagine that there's a good number of recently released ex-ESPN folks (beyond just the on-air personalities we're aware of) who'd be happy to fork over that info or who would know the right person to ask.

On the other hand I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of them signed NDAs.

It was low to start with and still dropping, ouch. It's bad news when you're getting Jupiter Ascending numbers. What does Simmons do after this? Hopefully the answer is nothing.

They did a sketch last night where he and Michael Rappaport argued about deflategate in Judge Joe Brown's court and I felt embarrassed for everyone involved and for myself for watching. They ought to change the show where most of it is a panel format, but with a framing device where it's basically The Mary Tyler Moore Show starring the writers and with Simmons in Ted Knight's role as the no-nothing narcissistic doofus that somehow gets to be in front of the camera.

https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/758862033072762880 https://twitter.com/AnyGivenWeds/status/758860065944113155 HBO must have buyer's remorse so loving bad... Also Rapaport gives one of the most amazingly bad acting performances of all time in season 4 of Prison Break - the show had already lasted 3 seasons too long at that point but he turned it into a must-watch for me.

A sports show over the Summer when not much is happening hosted by a guy who's following is online seems like a bad idea. The problem with the show is it has cut into his podcast which was the best thing he did.

the one moment of hubris i allow myself is that i wake up every day fully convinced that even with no television production experience whatsoever save from operating a camera on a cable-access teen "issues" show when I was 14 that was even worse than you are imagining, i could produce a vastly superior half-hour sports talk show than any given wednesday.
