Reply to comment by callmemacready in What are your favourite seasons of your favourite shows? by james_carr9876
Season 4 is my favourite as well. I really love season 4 and season 1 probably has less stupid stuff overall but the ending to season 4 blew my mind.

And now they will be one! Though I'm expecting a content purge as they consolidate.

so it's more of a harry's law reboot then, where kathy bates also played a lawyer back in 2011. I hate legal dramas but the first season was great fun, had a good lead and side characters, one played by brittany snow.
then they had to fuck everything up in the second season, even brittany couldn't make it watchable anymore. looks like I somehow still managed half of it, I could've sworn I ditched s2 after a couple eps. then it got canceled. this is on cbs (harry was nbc), so it's bound to go on for 12 seasons.

That's ridiculous, lol. Can you imagine a world where seasons 6-15 didn't exist? With SPN having ended 13 years ago and just been one of those shows that faded into maybe cult classic like status? Going out on the highest rated episode of the series would have been great and people probably would have been discussing a potential continuation for the past 13 years. That's when you get them back together and you pick up with a limited new story and the whole point is to finally get Sam out of hell. Instead, they brought him back before the episode ended.

While true, I find the comparison between HotD & RoP mute. At least for the current conversation. The success of one doesn't mean the other is unsuccessful. HotD having more views doesn't magically make RoP unprofitable for Amazon.
And the only measure of success Amazon & HBO really care about is the number of subscriptions each show bring. Which both claim are on the road to profitability.
Obviously, HotD won as the internets preferred show. But that doesn't inherently mean RoP is unsuccessful.

HotD was definitely in the Nielsen charts, see here.
In the published Nielsen charts, RoP had 8082 million minutes watched, vs. 8091 for HotD. However, RoP was shorter than HotD (557 vs 618 minutes), so assuming every viewer watched the whole thing, that translates to 14.5 million vs. 13.1 million viewers.

ChatGPT can certainly help out with plotting or throwing out ideas similar to those story flashcards.
It can't write a novel because it still just steals from the training dataset and it would be plagiarism after plagiarism.

wow that's so generic and a story taking place in modern day where a woman has to fight the patriarchy? I mean, it's 2023. If you were going to do a fight the patriarchy story for Mad Men as a sequel, put it in the 80s.
Actually please make a Mad Men sequel in the 1980s complete with cool music and giant hair.

Is it "extremely good"? Or is it "extremely good for a CW show"? There's a big difference. I remember this sub telling me The Arrow was 'extremely good', which caused all confidence in that channel to be lost.

It's so hammy and campy it's incredible imo. I loved when the show was more "grounded" but I equally love it for going so hard off the rails while being self aware and REALLY committing to it.
What other show has done that?
Juraviel23 t1_jadxf3f wrote
While I agree that 1-5 amazing, there were a few standalone seasons that were also very good. I think it's season 11 where they are trying to stop Gods sister, and that was a banger. A redeemed Metatron trying to convince Chuck not to give up on humanity is peak Supernatural.
Of course, then they completely ruin that excellence with the plot twist involving God in the last season.
I think the show had two perfect series finales, S5 and S11. The actual finale got ruined by COVID, so I'd cut them some slack if the rest of the season wasn't terrible.

> In Matlock, written by Jane the Virgin creator Urman and inspired by the classic TV series starring Andy Griffith, after achieving success in her younger years, the brilliant septuagenarian Madeline Matlock (Bates) rejoins the work force at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases and expose corruption from within.
> Andy Griffith starred as the folksy lawyer on the original Matlock, which ran for six seasons on NBC and then another three seasons on ABC.
Kathy Bates is a great actress, so I’m going to check this out. But this constant gender-swapping the past couple years really shows the lack of any creativity in Hollywood.
If they can’t come up with new interesting female characters, then they should remake/revive female-lead TV shows like ‘Alias’ , ‘Charlie's Angels’, ‘Murder, She Wrote’, ‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’, ‘Damages’, ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’, ‘Dark Angel’, ‘The Bionic Woman’, and ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’

I still find the idea of DEI reports to be awkward. Like the shit should not be a quota. Just look for talent first in diverse areas.

And the other bit they missed is HoD has more total viewers as the streaming list only tracks streams not total views between HBO and Max

I liked how they depowered them in the last episode or 2 of season15 but it felt like that could have come way earlier in the show to get them back to fighting more normal monsters.

We went to a Supernatural fan panel at a convention. It was our first con and we thought it would be fun. I forget how my husband ended up with the mic, but he said, well we all know Chuck is God.
Holy crap was the response not what I expected. Half the room cheered in agreement, the other half grumbled and there were a few boos. One of the panelists wanted to know what led him to believe that. It was obvious she disagreed, and a guy in the audience went on about how how was a Christian and Chuck being God would be disrespectful to Christianity. All I could think was, do you even watch the show?
It was realty wild to see so many people refuse to believe it, and then the big reveal happened. I really liked Chuck being God. Everything after with his character was uneven to downright disappointing.

I thought that said "Gender-Swap Robot" and I was so interested in seeing Kathy Bates solving crimes as a robot that could instantly swap its gender.
