I've started "The Wrong Missy" but haven't finished it yet. Lauren Lapkus is over-the-top and funny as the wrong woman David Spade invited to Hawaii. So far Lapkus is the best thing about the movie. Kind of channeling Jim Carrey. On Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 6:48 PM David Risner wrote: > Hmmm. I've

Hmmm. I've only watched 2 & 5. Never heard of 1, 7, 8, 9, & 10. I find it hard to believe that "To all the boys I loved before" & "Kissing Booth" aren't on this list. My daughters and all of their friends and my wife and most of her friends have watched them multiple times. On Fri, Jul 17,

We wouldn't know about PBS here in the Bay Area; all three stations are pretty much on permanent pledge-drive rotation, and I don't think anyone wants to see washed-up rock acts or Suze Orman naked or swearing. --Dave Sikula On Friday, July 17, 2020 at 6:21:45 PM UTC-7, Jon Delfin wrote: > >

And a good thing, that. PBS's continued belief that their audience is too delicate to handle language or nudity has already ruined enough shows. On Fri, Jul 17, 2020, 4:28 PM Adam Bowie wrote: > Yeah - I know that these shows all appeared on not-PBS :-). Normal People > on Hulu, and I May

Yeah - I know that these shows all appeared on not-PBS :-). Normal People on Hulu, and I May Destroy You on HBO. But they were all BBC shows, with at least two getting US network money well down the production line (i.e. they were more acquisitions than originals). On Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 4:27 PM

This is certainly not a like for like with Nielsen ratings. Netflix only needs a view of at least *two minutes* to count. Bearing in mind how many shows autostart in their app, or how many viewers have to try a movie they've never heard of, but has just popped up on their home screen, and getting

I’m sorry, but I’m going to need to see an independent review of those supposed numbers. No way 85 million people watched that abysmal Spenser movie... I might believe 85 million people started it, but no way did they all watch it through the credits. At some point, the internet content

"Fleabag"'s first series was screened on IFC (which considers itself now alt-comedy in terms of original programming, even if they show repeats of "That 70s Show" and "2.5 Men") after the Amazon release. Sister channel SundanceTV screened the first two seasons of Amazon's "Transparent." Mark

Personally, I'd think cancelling "Katy Keene" would be a sign of common sense and good taste coming to a network, rather than a sign of imminent failure. --Dave Sikula On Thursday, July 16, 2020 at 9:22:20 AM UTC-7, Brad Beam wrote: > > The Chief emeritus might be hearing some death rattles.
