[TV orNotTV] Colbert's 'Tooning Out' Studio Unionizes

As many people in the TV animation industry have become more disgruntled lately, the staff of Late Night Cartoons, the Paramount-owned studio that produces the Stephen Colbert EPd "Tooning Out the News" originally for Paramount+, but soon for Comedy Central, has announced that they will join th

[TV orNotTV] Trevor Noah leaving The Daily Show

For better or worse, he reshaped the series to cater to (pander to) a younger generation, making it all but unwatchable to viewers like me. I like Noah, but not as a host. I’m willing to give a different host a try https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/trevor-noah-leaving-daily-show-1235388893/amp/ -

Re: [TV orNotTV] Inside Jeopardy podcast

In sports it drives me nuts when people differentiate first ballot hall of famers as if they are somehow better than hall of famers who get in afterwards. If it takes a year or two to recognize Fleming, what’s lost? On Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 11:58 AM PGage wrote: > As Tom said, there are always a

I think Xfinity ended up swapping Starz for Epix in our cable package. I wonder if that'll change... PS - of the three movies you listed there, only one is actually fit for human consumption. On Thursday, September 29, 2022 at 1:03:23 PM UTC-4 Mark Jeffries wrote: > Epix, the Amazon-through-M

Perhaps, but I think the explanation is even simpler.

[TV orNotTV] Ahnuld roils social media after guestbook signing at Auschwitz museum

OK, so he only had a short time to check out the place..."I'll be back" sounds like the perfect way to express his intention. Not everyone agreed. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-auschwitz-terminator-catchphrase-1235386859/

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Abrams' next "Trek" installment off Paramount's film slate

Agreed; I think that's why there had been some buzz about the next Kelvin timeline Trek film moving on to the TNG era (which would, admittedly, get around the need to explain Yelchin's absence and/or dealing with an aging primary cast), but SNW, Lower Decks and (regardless of what you think of

Epix, the Amazon-through-MGM-owned premium channel that has never really taken off and lost its original partners Viacom (before the reunion with CBS) and Lionsgate (before they bought Starz) along the way, is rebranding itself as of Jan. 15 as--MGM+. Good God: https://www.thewrap.com/mgm-epix

I see exactly two tweets, neither of which seem particularly pissed -- one asks, "Where's Art Fleming?" and the other says, "I assume that Art Fleming and Don Pardo are already in." Those two tweets have a total of three likes between them. > On Sep 29, 2022, at 7:40 AM, Tom Wolper wrote: >

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Abrams' next "Trek" installment off Paramount's film slate

The passing of Anton Yelchin (Chekov) made it harder for me to feel that a fourth film was necessary.  It's also been more than six years since the last film, so even if they do get another film going, they're effectively restarting things. David On Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at 02:36:47
