Sober posted:I don't think the problem lies with more hardcore TV watchers, it's about convincing casual viewers that Arrow/Flash/Person of Interest/The 100/Spartacus/etc. is worth watching while no one is calling them "prestige". It's like an after-effect of the lovely Hollywood/Oscar effect where people think they only want the best of the best without knowing what they like, so they hop on the liberal intelligentsia bandwagon without really questioning why they actually think they like Mad Men or Homeland (lol) or The Wire.

Sober posted:No, I am pretty liberal myself but I do question if people who say, watch Mad Men because everyone else that they share values (liberal middle class is usually tied to MM viewers) with does it too, and not because they actually like it on their own merits. Watching prestige television for prestige television sake feels like the current cultural version of keeping up with the Joneses. Besides, not that many people watch prestige shows. Mad Men gets a fraction of the viewership of Jersey Shore or 2 Broke Girls.

I haven't watched any Downton Abbey since the infamous season 3 Christmas episode where Matthew dies. Are seasons 4 and 5 worth watching?

thrakkorzog posted:It's being by the same people who did The Bible mini-series, so it looks like a pretty blatant attempt by NBC to get some Christians to watch one of their shows. Judging by the preview and the makers past history, it's probably going to be as faithful as it can to the bible.

soapgish posted:I don't watch that show but it seems apparent that Gawker has never given/received cunnilingus from behind, or is even aware of where an anus is in relation to genitals. Dunham: You got your rear end motorboated in the season premiere! Williams: Which I can’t wait to see…. I had a couple of days talking to wardrobe and makeup to get ready to rig the thing that I wore for the rear end motorboating. I mean, you could still be performing cunnilingus while rear end motorboating, but I can see why you would think it's just salad tossing.

Irish Joe posted:He's got a point, though. Its easy to dismiss a couple of cranks coming out of the woodwork to tear Cosby down decades after the alleged rapes occurred. When its over a dozen, some of whom are credible, it becomes harder to ignore. On top of that is the disturbing notion that a person can have his career and reputation ruined by unsubstantiated accusations over something that no one is in a position now, decades later, to prove or disprove. Does anyone really want to reward and encourage this kind of disgustingly reactionary mob rule? I certainly wouldn't if I were in Greenblatt's shoes.

I've only seen the first season of The Walking Dead. I know season 2 was bad, but is it worth powering through to get to the current stuff?

Everyone throwing out names of comedians is forgetting that The Daily Show isn't popular because of Jon Stewart's comedic chops but his political criticism. Even a smart comedian like Louis C.K. would find it hard to replace Jon's vast knowledge. What we do not need is another late night "comedy" show. We have one each on the networks, plus Conan, plus @Midnight. What we do need is commentary more than the once a week we get from Last Week Tonight.

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.

LOL that the subject of The Jinx, Robert Durst, his family's real estate company manages Freedom Tower. Yes, that Freedom Tower.

Viginti posted:So, as an Aussie who can't get HBO and relies on the kindness of strangers for their shows i'm left sitting here, trying to avoid spoilers and theorizing about how it is that noone has put this episode online yet. I mean, the HBO documentaries are a little inconsistent in their delivery - some don't appear as torrents at all until the DVD release - but the last five came out fine, this was in the news all day and had the highest expected audience of any of them and yet...nothing. Are the Dursts tracking down anyone with a copy and having them killed? Is HBO trying to build suspense? Is there some sort of legal battle going on in regards to the rights of it? Probably no in all cases, because none of that would have any effect on torrents, but it is a hell of a thing.

The Librarians' first few episodes were marginally acceptable, but good god is that show utter garbage. Spend your time elsewhere. I say this as a fan of Warehouse 13.
