The TV thread

Speaking of NBC, I think they showed a three-hour infomercial for the new Dowton Abbey movie interspersed with the first Dowton Abbey movie. And Dowton Abbey with commercials?

She-Hulk wouldn't be in the SI swimsuit edition if not for the WOKE mob and the cools. #crossthread

 

I don't think this has been referenced yet. Taylor Sheridan's next Yellowstone prequel, "1932", will star Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. Premiere is set for December.

 

Green New Deal

 

I mean, this is no different from when networks would show all of the Harry Potter movies, interspersed with "sneak peeks" at the next movie to be released.
The E! Network has also been showing the OG series on repeat, I notice. (For those who don't want to deal with ads, it's streaming on Prime and Netflix in the US.)

 

RIP The CW?

It's the items on the crawl I find amusing. They're building up to a dramatic moment and underneath is "Breaking News: Rap Star You Never Heard Of Announces Concert Dates."

 

Posted it in the wrestling thread, because it was related to AEW, which is aired on TNT (Warner). But company-wide, they're cutting costs. It wouldn't surprise me if scaling back production for The CW is part of that, especially since they own it 50 percent with CBS, instead of outright. Given all of their other assets, maybe they'll rebrand a channel for more of a teen audience. (Or, maybe I'm overlooking one that already serves that role.)

 

Mr. Mayor ends its run, seemingly, on a cliffhanger. Fey and Carlock have both had stuff on Netflix in the past, so I wonder if there's some component of their deal that lets them shop the show around. Still, hard to believe there will be a ton of interest in it. I liked the show, but it was always more of a solid C+, B-, vs. even stuff like Girls5Eva or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

 

Anyone watching The Offer? I have no idea how much of this is bullshit (probably a fair amount), but it's entertaining as hell. The guy playing Robert Evans steals every fucking scene he's in.
