The TV thread

Well, it should be 60% white.

Aren’t we the most diverse country in the world when it comes to people of color?

 

They can thank Allison Grodner for that.

 

That story is from two years ago. And, it's after CBS has had network-wide issues with sexism and racism, whether we're talking about Les Moonves or "Bull" or Charlie Rose, and probably a bunch of stuff that never made it out to the public. FWIW, I don't really think it matters - a good show is still going to be a good show. "Ghosts" has a diverse cast and it's delightful. Even Chuck Lorre manages to cast diverse shows.

 

Finally had a chance to check out "Reboot," and holy fuck, Judy Greer is still bringing the heat. Wife and I watched the first two episodes last night, and will quickly binge through the other six. It hasn't been picked up for season two yet - I'm guessing cost might be an issue, given all of the names attached to it.

 

I do like a more diverse Survivor cast, changes the dynamics noticeably.

 

Anyone know why Josh Lucas (40ish John Dutton) is uncredited in "Yellowstone?" Or have I just missed his name in the credits?

Nice gig inbetween the Home Depot commercials voiceover.

 

Tulsa King is the Steel Panther of TV shows. I’m sure it’s a parody. But it takes itself so completely seriously that I’m not sure it’s a parody. But there is no way it can be serious because it’s so absurd.

 

Tulsa King's most absurd lines:

Dwight: The fact that it's barely 11 am and you got a buzz to kill makes me question your work ethic.
Bodhi: I'm selling weed, not operating a nuclear reactor.

------

Bad Face: You ever been on a horse?
Dwight: You ever been on life support

------

Dwight: You know, someone's got to slap some good grammar into your mouth and that's gonna be me.

 

It's Taylor Sheridan. It's surprising if it's not well-written.

 

The show is absurd and ridiculous. I'm not saying it's bad ...
