There are approximately 500 thousand corpses decomposing in front of TVs left on the CW, so their ratings can't go below a .2.

Pray no one ever goes to investigate the smell!

more than Sleepy Hollow. Is... is this going to get renewed? Because that would be a legendary S2 OT. All of my no fucks given, make it so.

I can't believe The Vampire Diaries is doing just as well as Riverdale. I mean I'm a huge fan of TVD but the quality was going downhill untill last season and then it went down again in this final season. That's fine and all. But a show of Riverdale's caliber should have better ratings, it's a crime it's not doing better than it is.

Riverdale is decent but you're going a little overboard with the praise here. Four episodes in and it's a fun diversion at best. I doubt it will ever be as good as TVD was in its prime.

Plus it was never going to get good ratings since it's a non-Superhero show airing on the CW in 2017.
 
Vampire Diries was a huge guilty pleasure for awhile, I stopped at season 4 or 5 I cant remember. It just cracked me up watching Damon randomly kill what looked like main characters (only for them to be brought back but still).

To me, it's the best show on TV right now.

There's no consequences in the world of TVD. Probably the shows biggest flaw. Only now are they exploring guilt of having killed innocent people. Season 1, 2, 3 and 7 were awesome. The rest were real duds.

Lol :/

Legion Ep1 was good but perhaps I got swept up in the hype and expected to have my brain melted from amazement and, well, it wasn't. I liked it fine but I wasn't a fan of the direction its heading at the end. Ep2 hasnt aired here yet (its on mondays here).

You know, I'm surprised that American networks haven't tapped shoujo manga for teen/18-24 shows. Nana seems like a perfect candidate.

CW should be all over it, somebody pitch that to Mark Pedowitz! (I'm more of Paradise Kiss fan myself, though Nana was also great)

Also, I picture Bryan Fuller would be the only person who could do justice to Resolutionary Girl Utena.
 
Thread made me start up TVD season 1, Damon was a staight up evil cartoon villain. Dude has a crow and summons fog lol wtf.

He gets some depth pretty quickly, though. Especially when the flashbacks start. The first five or so eps of the series felt pretty different to what came next. I remember reading they tried to capture that same vibe in early season 4 or 5 and thinking at the time they successfully did so. The weakest season for me is 5 but I haven't seen the current season yet. I thought 6 with the prison world was pretty under-appreciated.

Ive seen the first 4 or 5 seasons but its all a blur. I didnt remember this crow and fog bullshit at all lol. They only have up to S5 in my netflix region anyway, but that's probably for the best.
 
Not sure where else to ask this, but since it has to do with TV, I'll ask here:

Does anyone know where to find which cable networks are getting the new movie releases, and when they are showing for the first time? For instance, I have zero idea which premium network made a deal for The Arrival, and have no clue when they're showing it.

After Riverdale, I think America is ready for Utena. lol

(or based on the ratings, maybe not :p)

The Arrival is a Paramount film so it'll be on Epix. You can also catch it on Amazon 90 days after it hits Epix.
Hope this helps.
 
So I have been browsing over Starz and Showtime recently and I am honestly surprised these channels are still there. Their movies are usually older and irrelevant or they are newer and irrelevant. Meanwhile they both host very few decent shows each further making them worse than the completion. I just find it weird that these types of channels aren't just included in a cable subscription. I could argue that both FX and AMC are better channels than they are. I wouldn't be surprised if they go under in a few years.

I like to think that I'm singularly bankrolling both channels with my sporadic subscription whenever something I like is airing. I'm free once Homeland and Black Sails are done for the season!

The Arrival is a Charlie Sheen film that was distributed by Orion pictures and came out in 1993.

Arrival (one word, no article preceding) is an Oscar nominated film and I believe the one you're talking about.

In terms of big shows, Starz has Outlander, Ash vs Evil Dead, and Black Sails is just ending, and Showtime has some good performers and Twin Peaks in a few months. I wonder whatever happened to that Halo show they were going to do, or if the Microsoft TV company falling through was the end of that.

But yeah, I think they both attract enough of an audience, and along with bundles and such, to justify their existence. Starz has 24 million subscribers, and Showtime has 28 million, according to Wikipedia, and the intriguing thing is that their most popular shows are around 1-2 million viewers. So maybe it's bundles and streaming, I'm not quite sure. For comparison, HBO has around 36.5 million.

For me, though, in terms of quality, FX is the king of the mountain right now. I think everyone has planted their flag and I love what everyone is doing, but FX shows get me ultra excited.
 
Someone's insulting Showtime in here?

*head explodes*

It's my favorite premium channel by far. Is this how the rest of TV GAF feels when I shit talk things they like?

Hey, why didn't you quote the guy I answered the question of? He made the same mistake too. :p
 
So Son of Zorn is cancelled, I take it? I just saw the season finale (?) tonight and I found it amusing. But apparently it is the swan song for this show?
 
I didn't follow the news and see that Miguel Ferrer had died. On NCIS LA he was clearly struggling to say his lines and they wrote him off today by bringing back a JAG character to replace him.
