Show doesn’t need a laugh track with Michael Rowland he and Vella Lovell as Emily are who make the show hilarious. Knowing some of Rowlands regions stand up adds to the halarity, his character having been used to be a pro snowboarder maybe the funniest and most outlandish backstory to a network sitcom character ever.

Wait, are you saying that she is good in that, or she isn't?

The first episode didn’t feel like a 1st episode, it Felt more like an episode 2 or even the second half of a 40 minute episode.
I’d say it was rough but felt like it could be a decent show much like Sirens, a comedy show about emts dealing with all sorts of calls much like how this show is setup. Drew the comparison because of how similar the “new guy” felt to Sirens’ character Brian, both characters/actors have a very similar upbeat style to them.
Mostly watching for Joel Mchale but I can see this show being a season 1 and done. Had to look up if this was on the same network where he did “The Great Indoors”, canceled after 1 season, but it’s not and at least this show doesn’t have a laugh track.

Yeah, and for a brief period of time, she was supposed to be in the Obi-Wan show too. I think they might actually love working together. Good for them!

Not making up numbers, extrapolating already existing date.
65+ makes up about 20% of the entire 18+ US population, for which this study is based off. Assuming methodology is within reasonable ranges, you can assume about 20% of the sample is also 65+, with N=2000 they likely have a wide, representative, sample, as YouGov is a pretty reliable survey group.
When you take those "prefer not to say" on a basis of already asking about potentially vice or illegal actions which tend do underreport, you could always change it to a likert scale, and those "prefer not to say" are probably falling into a "likely, or highly likely" type bucket, which is good enough to make assumptions, and again, at least some, likely not insignificant number will give false responses of "no" or "not sure" even though they do pirate, you have to account for this error
So you add in all these sources of change, error, and bucket in likely users and remove about 20% of the population (65+), that were highly likely in the "No" category, and you would reasonable see a shift to the right slightly. Its very reasonable to assume 20%-25% may be more indicitive of the 18-64 range

Holy shit! I had no idea that's Ewan McGregor, much less that it was him playing both. My mind is blown.

Its more like the torrent protocol simply breaks any idea that a user is not "sharing" and copying the content, since inherent in torrents is that you have upload and download. There's a lot more to say, but yeah, lets not kid ourselves about how torrents work

If you’re just gonna start making up numbers, why not just go the full 100%
I don’t really see any reason to more than double the findings. Even here, on a subreddit dedicated to television populated by the demographics most likely to pirate, we have multiple people commenting they don’t know how.

If you cap the age at 40, I would be blown away if the number were any less than 85%

The show is perfectly fine as is, the people who want hours of corridor sequences featuring Joel shooting soldiers and zombies in the face will always have the game.

Read the article, and you get a better sense of the point being made. Bloys is making these decisions to protect the HBO brand, not to dilute it, and nothing he says in the interview sounds much like damage control to me. Quite the opposite, actually, as it seems they've finally chosen a path to delineate the two different production teams:
Max Originals will now focus on tentpole, IP-based projects that wouldn't really feel at home on HBO (Dune: Sisterhood, Welcome to Derry, the DC content, etc.) and content that reaches audiences not typically targeted by HBO original programming (The Sex Lives of College Girls, The Flight Attendant, etc.).
And HBO will just continue what they're doing, but with an increased budget.

I wonder what that number would look like if they removed live sports from it. RSN's are a nightmare and I don't know a single hockey, baseball, soccer, or basketball fan that hasn't had to use a dicey internet stream at some point.

More like $80 for the PPV on top of the ESPN+ subscription. When something like 15% of the revenue goes to the fighters. Then the company wonders why people pirate it.

It was founded as an alternative to the big two trades, intended to take the piss out of the industry a bit while still delivering exclusives. Over the years, it’s basically become the same as THR and Variety.

This also includes 65+ audience that likely has no idea what any of these questions even were and thats ~20% of the sample.
And there is an additional 5% that is "prefer not to say" which means yes.
Its probably 20-25% of the 18-64 population would reasonable assumptions who pirate, if not more

this would turn a 15 hour game into a 20 hour show lmao. Ludicrous suggestion. It's a fairly lean storyline without much unnecessary padding, they are pacing it excellently thus far

Everything?
I bet she wouldn't be a great backup singer on a conceptual sci-fi space opera rap album by legendary rapper del the funky homosapien!

That she is, mate. Deltron3030 is an incredible album and she's great on it.
