Heck, Jack Hanna's old show is still in syndication in my area.

Thread title says “these days”. Highlighting the pitfalls of collaborating during covid seemed fitting.

I'm not familiar with that show. If you want references, today they must be labeled E/I, so you can look at tv guide and see what types of shows count

Strongly suggest Extraordinary if you liked Derry Girls. Irish lead as well and her mom is played by the actress who was Sister Michael, sadly not in it nearly enough.
On Hulu in the US, Disney+ outside as part of their initiative to highlight creators from other countries on it.

Derry Girls. That's a hidden gem.

This was an issue long before COVID. People watching way more at home during COVID just highlighted.

I have to say, this is the worst take I’ve ever read on this sun. And that’s really saying something

I watch EVERYTHING with subtitles. Got tired of rewinding and trying to work out what was said.

Killing Eve had the steepest decline of any show since True Blood and that at least was camp. Don’t watch it. Ever.

I saw LTROI didn’t get renewed - did the first season wrap up the story in a satisfactory way? Been debating watching it.

Streaming and youtube weren't a thing until after saturday morning cartoons died. What killed saturday morning cartoons was cable channels that catered specifically for kids like Nick, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel.

So did a show like Hysteria fall under the E/I category since it was educational ?

It confuses me how The Outlaws slipped under the radar with Stephen Merchant and Christopher Walken. The only people I've really seen talk about it are Ricky Gervais fans ( /r/rickygervais has more outlaws related discussion than the dedicated subreddit r/theoutlawstv).

Yeah, it means I end up riding the volume control so that I don't wake my daughter up with house wobbling explosions.

Old — Homicide: Life on the Street (The Wire before The Wire)
Mildly Old — Justified with Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins (just entertaining as hell) and Friday Night Lights
New — Welcome to Wrexham, you do not have to like soccer to enjoy the best sports documentary since The Last Dance. Hell you don’t even have to like sports. The focus on the town, the players, what it’s like to drop in and be leaders of an organization with no prior experience, and otherwise in general a breath of fresh air content, this show was such an unexpected gem

Reply to comment by NagoyaR in is Power on the same level as Breaking Bad? by Retrofusion11
Demographics read the room. That being said, I thought breaking bad was better in terms of character development. I could relate to characters more in power.

I watched Season 1 of Killing Eve not long ago, I liked it at the start but once Eve and the assassin started hanging out, I was pretty ready for it to be over. I have no intention to watched past season 1

Yeah, even after hearing about Kerry Washington's experience on Django, I always don't think some of those violence scenes especially against children and in lower budget films are that comfortable to film.

Well, at least for PBS, some of their shows leaned a bit older than six or seven.
As far as PBS is concerned, Arthur and Cyberchase were perfectly fine for six year olds to watch, but their more complex story-telling made them more popular with older children. For a while, they were even part of the "PBS Kids Go!" block, which was specifically marketed to older elementary schoolers.
