Stranger Things is the only one, right?

Young people can never understand how television changed when Radar walked into the OR and said, "I have a message."

Reply to comment by qp0n in Supernatural seasons 1-5 are extremely good television. by forman98
Extremely good for a network TV show, not just CW. If you have issues with network TV, those issues are still present. If you don't, it's a fantastic time.

... except it's not. First two episodes were, and then viewership tanked. It didn't even make the Nielsen Top 15 streaming shows of 2022, and was number 15 in Top 15 Original Streaming BEHIND The Boys at number 11.

Reply to comment by MandolinMagi in ‘I Still Don’t Know What It Was’ An oral history of Kings, the ambitious, expensive, proudly weird drama on which NBC bet its prestige future and lost. by KalamsLongknife
The six seasons and a movie quote which originated on Community was about The Cape.
I think it was well acted and had heart. Maybe it was dumb but they tried to make it fun at least. Sometimes it is OK to be dumb.

Reply to comment by DUNG_INSPECTOR in Kat Coiro To Direct & Exec Produce CBS’ ‘Matlock’ Reboot Pilot, A Gender-Swap Reboot Of The Classic Legal Drama Starring Kathy Bates by Neo2199
Yes. That was 28 years ago. It debuted on TV in 1986, which was 37 years ago.
If you were 45 when 'Matlock' went off the air -- which strikes me as on the young side for the target demographic, which largely would have been Andy Griffith fans -- you're 74 today.
Andy Griffith fans who were 65 when the show started are over 100, if they're still alive.
Seriously, how many people in their 20s and 30s were watching 'Matlock' in the mid-90s? I sure as hell wasn't. It was considered an "old person's show" back then.
Thus, my comment about how the original core demographic may not be around anymore.

I would hardly call "extremely good", it was alright
the show was always B tier/CW silliness, especially after season 1

As a kid, its very bored dudes looking at fields all day and slowly shuffling around when I'd rather they were showing anything else. It didn't help that "Sunday after cartoons" was prime Golf time.

Glad to hear it. Though I'm not sure where there going to go next, they've kind of resolved everything. Unless its going to turn out he has even more secrets we and he doesn't know about.

Season 1 wasn't even bad, imo.

Reply to comment by BalsamicBasil in Pedro Pascal: The trials and triumphs of the first breakout star of 2023 by BalsamicBasil
Idk, there were some ok moments, but overall it was just awkward. Thankfully it didn't get too off the rails, but it was teetering on the edge. To be fair, I haven't watched a ton of his interviews, so maybe this is how he always acts, it just stood out to me as a regular Graham Norton viewer. I agree, I get really uncomfortable when the guests get too touchy feely with people they've just met. Funnily enough, Evangeline Lilly recently did just that to Danny Dyer in a chat show, touching his ear. It's so not cool.

As opposed to being fired because the show IS doomed and everything IS a disaster.But that's Hollywood: failure goes UP.

Matlock was on the air until 1995.

I'll watch an occasional majors final day and the Ryder cup and that's about it. Hating a pretty tame relaxing sport is kinda funny. It's not like it's hard to ignore if it's not for you

Well, that title post seems like it was written by an 8 year old. I would not recommend the show to that age group either.
