Ridic. It'll be a cultural phenomenon before the month is out

I don't get why this is surprising. The rap industry is colossal in this country. Huge. A decently written show that revolves around that industry was bound to do huge numbers.

Not really. Plus, it grew from week 1 to week 2 (which doesn't happen often) and then grew again from week 2 to week 3 (which is really fucking rare).

If it was such a sure thing, why did we go like half a decade with no black shows?
After the Wire was snubbed over and over and that JJ Abrams show did poorly networks were like hmm no more for black folk right now
I liked Undercovers

Im still pissed the last 2 or 3 episodes of Undercovers never aired or were put online
Fuck you NBC

Her role as Nurse in Walk Away and I Stumble was a game-changer.
And then my dad always tells me they had one channel on TV in his early childhood.
What a time to be alive.

Haven't read through it yet, but this is typically an entertaining and informative article:

Sometimes, I think Bob Greenblatt would be very happy being an old gay man who produces plays on broadway than a network executive.
And Jen Salke could be a full time ghost hunter.

Yeah, to be fair, CC has been killing it this past year.
Oh god, Greenblatt might be the exec most likely to greenlight long-form improv to TV.

listen to the mad man
the only executive complaining about piracy is incidentally the executive whose network has the least carriage and access of all those profiled. hmmm I wonder if piracy could be ameliorated by improving legal access to content
which is why my network picked up a halo television series
wow, you hear that moonlight fans, you were right, keep yelling, they'll uncancel you yet

12 Monkeys - Delivers Highest L+3 Lift Ever for a Syfy Series Premiere
From what I undertand advertisers still pay very well for L+3, it's only +7 where they start to get cheap

I think it was only 2 episodes, but I remember that I saw them with a translated version in French on TV.
Try to search in French or another language with subtitles if you want to see them.

Aren't TV ratings declining? Why are there more shows then? Or are "ratings" just moving to internet viewing and home video?
Wiktor

Even if they are declining there's more and more opportunities to make money on those shows. The international deals became more profitable and the rise of streaming gives shows long legs.

Wiki sez they aired in Australia
There are new revenue streams and delayed viewing, but even more easily: look at that chart. If 100 million people watched TV 15 years ago and 150 million do now, average ratings would still be declining just due to the higher number of shows.
SyFy needs to continue on their current track. I see that they have announced 6 episode miniseries based on the book "Spin". That's nice.

If I had read this a month ago I would have had no confidence MTV could run a decent show, but I just finished watching Awkward and it was surprisingly good. I went in with no expectations, but all in all I found it pretty enjoyable.
This means now I'm willing to sample other MTV shows to see if they can replicate the magic.

Watch Faking It.

Yes. Faking It is absolutely incredible. The way it deals with modern social and gender issues while maintaining thoughtfulness and humor, is to be admired. Gay or straight, you will fall in love with these characters.

Because nobody wrote any. It always boggled my mind. The market is there. Tyler Perry movies were gangbusters. Nobody put the effort into writing a good show.
As for Backstrom:
It was nice of them to put out a press release how they were happy with one of their shows that night!

At least GAF appreciates you, Ivy.

IFC has canceled The Birthday Boys. Just thought I'd post that for the four or five of us who watched it.

He's basically saying that like Konami talking about GuitarFreaks should have been Guitar Hero. Rubicon was the formula that could have been Homeland or even just a much more watched show in today's political climate, but it arrived too early.
Still, interesting article.
