I wish OG L and O and Criminal Intent were back on Netflix. Those shows were legitimately good television before prestige dramas were a thing.

I expect it's because NBC is so bad at TV that the Timeless studio decided to just make the next season anyway and air it on NBC whether they were allowed to or not.

Considering NBC put ER up for streaming for the first time ever two months ago, I imagine Vanilla L&O is coming to Hulu sometime this year. Criminal Intent is kind of the red-headed stepchild of the franchise (well, outside of Los Angeles, Conviction and Trial By Jury) because no one watched it and it got punted to USA after a few years.

This reminds of how 30 Rock was the biggest NBC critic. "Shows like Law and Order whre...wait...what? Who made that decision?"

NBC was just barely the number two network last year behind CBS. They're doing just fine now.

At one point NBC had a comedy line up of 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Rec, and Community. Everyone I know loves at least one of those shows.

I'm not sure that their success being largely because if several wildly popular programmes isn't an accurate measure of "doing just fine" like you seem to think.

Just finished Glitch and enjoyed that a great deal. I'd seen the premise in other shows but it was nicely done and finished well. Although the main character spent the entirety of the second season arriving at a location, asking where someone was, being frustrated, asking everyone to stay, leaving, and everyone just walks away anyway. Just herding cats all season, hilariously.

Yeah, I recently rewatched/finished HIMYM and while it definitely has its flaws and low period and I have some serious criticisms with the last few years and finale... when that show was on it hit home runs. Also Barney ages really badly. But still. Home runs when it works. And its not like he wasn't creepy at the time.

I honestly do think that Neil Patrick Harris being openly gay has tempered some of the reactions to his character. I think there is less suspension of disbelief and people just view it as crazy antics for the sake of comedy as opposed to buying all in on the character.

TV Zombie posted:How was the Slap based on a book? What kind of book was that? It's an Australian book by Christos Tsiolkas. It's written in eight parts, with each focusing on a different character in a loosely connected group of "friends". Each of them is very different -- one part's about a gay teen, another's about a soap opera writer, a third's about a sixty year old immigrant. The actual slap itself is only relevant for two of those parts, the book's mostly a bunch of dramatic novellas. It's very similar to Cloud Atlas, actually, by with more satire and none of the genre play going on. If you're interested, the Australian television adaptation's really good -- the American version completely loving butchers it by changing around a lot of the character motivations and trying to bolt on a dramatic arc that isn't there. (NBC has difficulty with subtlety what a surprise.) They cut out a lot of the greekness, really downplayed the homosexuality, changed the plot so that a character who got an abortion did not... that, and all the characters are more posh and have "respectable", "aspirational" jobs. (The soapie writer becoming a film director, for instance.) Actually, there's a lot of really great Aussie tv out there that no-one's ever heard of, but I guess that's unsurprising. It's almost impossible to find over here, and even then you have to know what you're looking for.

I agree with the former, not so much with the latter, though there is a lot of trash out there. I guess I misspoke with when I said "a lot", but I can think of several shows that are really, really great. The Slap, Love My Way, Spirited, Wentworth, Sea Change, Farscape, Tangle... and though I generally try to stay away from Australian "comedies", anything these guy do is loving amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LhgJjicMz8 (That's her real placenta.)
