Not to diminish the fact that the first 4 out of 5 evicted from Big Brother this season were PoC, there's no way the producers could have predicted that 3 of the 4 in the "Camp Comeback" challenge would end up being PoC, and that the old white guy would actually win. And before anyone says

Re: [TV orNotTV] BB has an elephant in the room, and AFAIK no one is talking about it.

The wife & I both watch BB, and this hasn't gone unnoticed. We don't watch the live feeds, so I can't comment on what's been said when the prime time hour ends, but I don't get the impression that the evictions were racially motivated. Of the four, two were just generally super annoying, even

[TV orNotTV] Re: The Orville renewed by Fox moves to Hulu

Per McFarlane, the show’s increasingly ambitious post-production/FX work meant he wouldn’t be able to deliver the series to Fox by mid season as planned. This is as good a compromise as any. On Sunday, July 21, 2019 at 4:58:18 PM UTC-4, stannc wrote: > > Fox had announced back in May that The

I watched - Chestnut was, indeed, on pace for 90 HDB at the 5 minute mark, bu he slowed down considerably. But even if he'd stopped at 3:00, he'd have had an insurmountable lead over the rest of the pack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV"

Well, analog Sorkin is richer and has a warmer tone. (Sorry - I've been watching a LOT of MST3K lately) On Friday, June 28, 2019 at 11:35:05 AM UTC-4, Tom Wolper wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 28, 2019 at 5:22 AM PGage > > wrote: > >> Wow! This gets me very excited. Chabon qualifies as one of America’s

Speaking as a reformed NY theater person, they're going to get their gander up whenever the original cast isn't used for a film, but the fact of the matter is that Broadway actors aren't always right for the screen, and sometimes less so for TV. -- You received this message because you are

[TV orNotTV] 'Today' Show Erases Matt Lauer From 25th Anniversary Celebration | Hollywood Reporter

I noticed that there was no mention of Linny, the Today superfan who never missed a day on the plaza pretty much until his death about...5 years ago, I think. Given that this was a celebration of Studio 1A (and, indirectly, the Plaza), this was a big omission. -- You received this message

He ended up getting open heart surgery, and by all reports he’s recovering nicely. Which is great, except Deep 13’s health care plan is pretty craptacular. Dr. Forester will just have to kill him again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I see what you did there. And did you not catch Banks’ commentary on the very first answer on Tuesday’s ep (the “Slim Shady” buzz-in)? As an old school PYL fan (I remember watching the Michael Larson ep in first run), this revival pleases me. Banks surpassed expectations as not-Tamarkin, and

[TV orNotTV] Thank Netflix for Fallon Tonight tweak

I don't quite get the logic here. Granted, Colbert has a cold open, but he's still running a full credit sequence (or, at least, the version they've been running for the last 2 years - I miss the time-lapse film). I feel like they're just deflecting - NBC!Jimmy's ratings aren't slipping because

[TV orNotTV] Fwd: kimmel on stern - normal lear

Super-quick review: They used the AITF episode that officially spun off the Jeffersons, as well as the pilot of The Jeffersons. The AITF segment suffered from poor pacing, due in part to a somewhat slavish devotion to Archie & Edith’s outer borough dialects (and, honestly, some bad casting).
