If Reddit/Twitter were around and popular in the early 00’s (weekly discussion threads, in depth analysis) I think Scrubs would be in the GOAT discussion much more in popular culture

I'm pretty confident that most of the people who say that have never actually watched the show. Because I refuse to believe someone could be dumb enough to believe it when an important character virtually looks directly into the camera to say "Everything that happened on the Island really happened."

To honor him or to profit on viewership based on the news?

Reply to comment by masimone in What’s an excellent bit of dramatic acting in an otherwise comedic show? by unitedfan6191
Yeah. He just walked out of the room when he heard about it. Came back with a sore hand and bruised knuckles. Cops picked him up and on the way to the station they stop at a light and he looks over and sees his kid's school principal who he had to meet with earlier to discuss the kid's bad behavior at school. He smiles at him and waves with the handcuffs on lol.
One of my favorite scenes that takes place while the credits are rolling

So, help me God, AMC, if you pull this with Interview with the Vampire, I am flipping all the tables.
I hate this new land where just because something is renewed for a new season doesn't mean it is renewed for a new season. It must be terrifying for the cast and crew's to be at the whim of higher ups who doesn't give a flip about story and art and just want to make every growing returns. No one is safe.

They do the severance thing with the actors themselves?

It was kind of refreshing seeing a dog not portrayed as some perfect angel, it’s like people forgot asshole dogs exist. I literally stopped taking walks in my neighborhood after almost getting attacked by a dog and no, it was not a pitbull.

This is also a prequel to Derry Girls.

Reply to Judy Reyes Joins Kaitlin Olson & Daniel Sunjata In ABC’s ‘HPI’ Remake Pilot From Drew Goddard by sandiskplayer34
So, it's basically female Good Will Hunting but as a police procedural? Well, it's Drew Goddard, so it's probably still amazing.

He doesn't think she was good enough for the lead. That's argument lol.

Netflix profited 4.5 billion in 2022. They are doing just fine.

Reply to comment by DifficultMinute in Law & Order: SVU to Air 'Munch-a-thon' in Honor of Richard Belzer by Gato1980
The thing that’s ridiculous about Benson becoming the centerpiece of the show is that she gets promoted to captain eventually, so her role would be much more administrative and dealing with internal politics. She wouldn’t be showing up at the scene of every crime and doing a lot of actual detective work. Rawlins realistically should have been the protagonist for the show after Benson’s promotion, and while they have her a couple of episodes as the centerpiece each season, it still involves Benson being the focus of drama far too often. And they basically fired Kelli Giddish in the most recent season because she had been on the show so long she was getting too expensive given how much Hargitay costs to keep around.

Seinfeld would have been a case of getting yanked off the air on broadcast TV, based on the early episodes.

My friends and I would watch it on Comedy Central once they started airing re runs. All fell in love with the show, but I don't think I watched a single episode on NBC.

Disney basically took what Nickelodeon was doing and combined it with something like Saved By The Bell.

The turtle Maturin is a guardian of the Beam like Shardik the bear. I wonder if turtle died as a result of the Breakers or just something else.
I think King mentioned there’s a guardian and a demon on each Beam, It could have been that Beams guardian.
Also Dandelo was likely a spawn or relation of It as well.

All the trade outlets for the industry have been reporting on how the studios are cooling on streaming and looking at new ways to try and make money on it. Netflix is the only streamer that isn’t setting fire to mountains of cash right now, with Amazon and Apple being the others that look sustainable solely because their movie/TV divisions are small investments offset by their lucrative retail and tech businesses. All of the traditional studios, though? They’re hurting, and everybody in the industry is lost as to what the hell the future looks like. With all the guilds prepping for a possible strike to negotiate for a bigger cut of streaming this year, as well, there’s a crazy amount of uncertainty within the business about the future. Cable is in its twilight years, physical media is now exclusively for a niche audience, movie theaters are struggling to draw audiences, and streaming is unsustainable for most studios. It’s bad news on every front.
