I had actually forgotten American Idol came back, and that was earlier this year. It was even heavily featured on the Joel McHale show!

Covok posted:I didn't make that parallel before but you're pretty much right. This is just the basic premise of that movie when you boil down all the fat. Is Gervais that much of an rear end in a top hat to fantasise about being able to treat everyone like poo poo or is it something people in general do? (This premise seems to have been done to death).

Scrubs was cancelled and brought back by the same network, Buffy was never officially cancelled, American Dad was cancelled by a network and brought back on a cable channel (see also: Futurama, Friday Night Lights, Southland, etc). I was specifically thinking of shows cancelled by one network, then brought back on a different network, since that’s pretty uncommon (though it makes total sense in B99’s case, since NBC made the show anyway). asecondduck fucked around with this message at 16:54 on May 12, 2018 |

Buffy wasn't canceled but the WB said they were not renewing it which is why it moved to UPN.

lomzus posted:CBS has renewed Life in Pieces, Man with a Plan, Instinct and Criminal Minds and cancelled Scorpion and Superior Donuts. They're at how many seasons now, 15? I binged the first 10 or so a few years back and they'd already had a major plot arc for each of the individual team members being targeted and multiple arcs about the whole team being targeted. Where else can they go? Is it one of those shows that old people will continue to watch despite it exhausting every interesting story possibility already?

There was a big hoopla over it too where some large Buffy fan group called for a boycott of the WB and then like two days into their thing someone was like "uh, Angel is still on the WB" and the organizer looked like a stupid head.

There was an episode relatively early in its run that tackled violent video games, and Jack McCoy says in one scene that he was up until 3 a.m. playing their Doom analogue and that he can't imagine what it would do to a child.

(This premise seems to have been done to death). Gervais is one of those people who think his 'edginess' is something to be lauded in the face of political correctness. And he's been poo poo ever since he stopped working with Merchant.
