To be honest, I'm not surprised at Empire's ratings.

Fox might be finally getting out of their shitty ratings situation. What a big difference from shows like Red Band Society lol.

I guess we'll see how things go in a few months from now.

Agent Carter ratings are about what I expected. I think SHIELD will probably eke out a third season, but I doubt ABC will be eager to greenlight more Marvel shows anytime soon. Which is just as well, as they're arguably a better fit for Netflix anyway.

You mean where their ratings won't be public knowledge? :p

- memles had a few comments on 'The Projection List' over on his blog yesterday
Debuting today, The Projection List is presented as a resource tool: on one site, users can find theatrical, OnDemand, and Retail release dates for what looks generally to be the vast majority of motion pictures. This information is available elsewhere, but often scattered, meaning significant work is necessary to track those dates effectively. Many who write about or follow film are celebrating the site as the resource it strives to be.

His critique is via the link, and also here's their tv list for anyone that's interested. It's more of a movie tool, but it could be useful if they bolster the tv listings.

Specifically, Jessica Jones was still officially slated for this year as of a mere 16 days ago, so I have no idea what to make of Sarandos' comments today in that light.

How do you know it's better suited for Netflix when there's even no trailer yet from DD?

Also..Netflix being the only place for Marvel TV would suck. It's not like they will produce more than 2-3 shows a year from that universe. And with the usuall short episode orders you're bassicaly ending up with as much, or a bit more, episodes as single network show can manage.

Netflix has less restrictions than broadcast and also wouldn't suffer from breaks in the middle of arcs. Shorter series aren't bad either since there's less need to stretch. Tight, concise, stories without needed to hold big plot points for arbitrary broadcast dates (mid season finale, sweeps, etc...).

I think short concise orders migt hurt superhero stories though. But whether they end up for the better or worse, there's no denying how little content Netflix will be able to produce each year.

We'll see soon enough with Agent Carter and DD but I think stuff like Sleepy Hollow S1 on the broadcast side and Game of Thrones on the Premium cable side are similar enough in terms of the fantastical nature of the content to illustrate that short concise stories can work really well.

And I don't think gaps in time between seasons and series are as big of a deal as long as the quality of the stories is there. I don't need to have some kind of superhero content 3/4ths of the year. Or rather it's not as important as the content itself being good.

Bob's Burgers probably has one of the best/most specific porn parodies I've ever seen. It's truly amazing
and I don't even like straight sex!

Track it down if you're a fan. It's hilarious and really, really well done… for a porn parody.

Gotham isn't exactly a good show, but I have more fun watching it than I do watching the much improved Agents of Shield or Agent Carter. I'd watch Donal Logue in anything and Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin is great.

I'm not surprised it's out rating both of the Marvel shows.

I'm surprised because Marvel is a really good show and the Batman show is crap writing with a kid playing Bruce that is so, so wrong for the role.

For a second I thought you were talking about an episode of Bob's Burgers where the story is about them doing a porn parody.

But it's a porn parody of Bob's Burgers?

...

Alright then?

Maybe the combination of Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, and Empire will lead the TV guys to realize that diversity isn't just a checkbox, but a possible windfall.

I feel like that means I need to now watch Bob's Burgers in earnest and not just catch it on occasion. I did like what I watched though so ...

Watch Seasons 2 and 3 on Netflix.

Season 1 is good but not nearly as consistent (like most comedy), I suggest Art Crawl from the season though.

I think at least GoT would benefit greatly from longer seasons.

I figured it was When Calls the Heart, but apparently that was already renewed. Sooooo... I got nothing.

I know you aren't giving hints ivy, but can you tell us when we'll see the punchline to this? Soon-ish?
