There are two that work as well as Scrubs did, in my opinion.
After Life Shrinking

Netflix canceled Inside Job this past year despite the season 2 renewal order.
Adult Swim/HBO/WB/whoever you want to blame canceled Venture Bros in 2020 despite the season 8 renewal order.

Thats my issue with alot of these show podcasts. They often aren't about the actual show.

When viewing my shows, it displays them as posters/pictures, so you have to know exactly what the poster looks like for the show you're trying to click on, and there doesn't seem to be an option to change that view to e.g. list the shows in text format using their names instead.

Reply to ‘Sherlock’ Star Amanda Abbington Says “Nepotism” Helped Her Land Role In BBC Drama by Neo2199
The nepo baby thing is dumb cause it exists in every industry. Somewhere out there there’s a hospital director in a hospital giving unearned raises/jobs to their kin. There’s a blue collar warehouse manager doing it. There’s a McDonald’s owner doing it.
There’s nothing wrong with using connections to get the job initially, the problem is if you underperform/mess up the and the favoritism doesn’t stop. Kind of like Clint Eastwoods son who can’t act for shit.

Reply to comment by Warden_de_Dios in Which iconic and/or all time great shows would have been cancelled in their first season in today's streaming environment? by TheShowLover
Great points across the board. To extend your comment, I think the shift in market would also impact whether certain shows are even created. For example, Seinfeld would more likely to be "A Podcast About Nothing" than a Netflix comedy imo.

All I know is that I have been collecting episodes from Decades for a couple years now and those two have never recorded. I think there were quite a few more missing from Hulu.

Eh, if you have watched 6 seasons of a show and you can't be bothered to actually pay attention to the dialog in the last episode that is on you.

After the MeToo movement I finally watched this show and... well... It's good, don't get me wrong, but kind of cringe in places where I know 20 years ago this stuff didn't really matter or was thought of in the new light.

Are they in alphabetical order?
If not is Sam Malone ( Cheers) on the list?

I'm not a business person but i would think you'd lose money as an immediate result of restructuring but hope to make more in the long term because of it.

Whatever triggered it, I don't buy that these are isolated incidents. I agree with the guy up top, this kind of thing will happen again on other networks.

I saw the first episode and it really didn't catch my attention too much? When does it start to become more interesting?

Reply to comment by Els_ in Law & Order: SVU to Air 'Munch-a-thon' in Honor of Richard Belzer by Gato1980
He was based on real-world Baltimore homicide detective John Landsman.
It's weird that he carried over such a specific character from the very grounded, realistic Homicide over to generic procedural Law & Order.

I recently rewatched the series again. That episode gets me with an emotional gut punch every time. It was an incredibly well written episode, with lots of subtle details. >!If you pay attention throughout the episode, after a certain point Ben isn't carrying his camera and taking pictures AND none of the other characters even acknowledge Ben accept for Dr. Cox because he is still trying to process the death of his best friend.!<

Or any episode featuring John C McGinley he brings notes and keeps the two others on focus.

Since this is on NBC, they should start with Homicide: Life on the Street.

I was never a Martin Short fan, but I am enjoying the show a lot. IMO the whole > the parts.

Reply to Party Down - Season 3 Premiere Discussion by Prax150
I liked it.
Was less funny than a typical episode of the first two seasons but not going to judge off just this one episode because there was a lot of catching up and setup for the cast coming together and by the end it making sense why they're involved with Party Down catering again. The next episode should presumably be the normal formula of the original series.
