NBC and Col/tri already burnt out the show by letting it go on 3 seasons too long. Consumers remember the show by the more recent bad episodes, instead of the clever, earlier ones. I see "Just Shoot Me" and "Drew Carey" suffering from the same fate, and to a lesser extent "Roseanne" and...
With aggressive sale pricing, it only comes down to a few dollars in the end. Freaks and Geeks's list price was $70, but the set could be had for $45 (circuit city price). With popular shows like Friends for $30 or Alias for $40, F&G isn't that hard on the wallet. I wish Shout factory many...
Ok, now can anyone place this episode of TwiZone/ Outer Limits/ other: A man strikes a deal for escape with the coroner of the prison. The arrangement is that when the bell rings, someone has died and the escapee is to climb in the casket with the corpse, and will be dug up once the body is...
The actors should just ask for a bigger flat fee, because the studio will always find a way to 'cook the books' and make even the most popular releases appear 'barely profitable'. Any word on the commentaries for "The Michael Richards Show (all 10 episodes)", "Bob Patterson (all 10 episodes)"...
Futurama changed a mention of "JFK jr Airport" after his plane crash/ death. Family Guy dropped a Osama Bin Laden comment in an airport/ metal detector scene. Also, Sex and the City season 2 changed a JFK jr reference to "Leonardo DiCaprio". .... made... no... sense.... Leo is L.A., and...
Just because a channel is airing a show in syndication, it doesn't necessarily mean that they have full control of the number of show airings. I suspect the THC only bought the rights to air Hawaii Five-O once a week, or that they bought only enough episodes--i.e. 40--to cover weekly airings...
They should be showing new episodes Wednesdays, and a older rerun (S1/S2/S3) on Fridays! NBC hasn't been keen on ED reruns since season one. They really should be giving new viewers the opportunity to catch old episodes, like WB has done with it's 'unprogrammable' Sunday 7pm slot-- 7th Heaven...
Tuesday is a very competative TV night and Frasier gets lost in NBC's "Night of crap shows" line-up. My guess is that the DVR/VCR savvy crowd here at HTF records the show, but watches it too late to contribute to a time-sensitive thread.
By switching to Albany locals, you will have to requalify.... this means the possible loss of your L.A. stations. Are Albany stations all that great? I'd rather stick with NYC stations, as they are O&O stations that put network programming first. People in the DC area get turned down for...
