Tarheel Moneghetti Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, Tabe said: Janney has done 150 episodes of top-rated Mom and TONS of movies, including a well-received role as the mother of Tonya Harding. She has had an outstanding career post-Wing. I'd be stunned if anybody on the cast has made more money than her after the show. And good for her. I love her. Such a supreme talent. Hill got credited as a producer on Psych for six or so years of the run. I'm kind of assuming that netted him a large share of whatever syndication/international rights/rerun money there was. Otherwise, yeah, Janney and Moss by a walk. And they've probably gotten the best pick of roles of anyone in the cast, post-West Wing. Once saw an interview with Janney (years ago now, before Mom but after West Wing) where she told a story about how her first casting agent advised her to give up acting. The agent told her that she was too tall and would mostly only be cast as a Klingon. Edited May 10, 2020 by Tarheel Moneghetti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I still think of Janney (and Paul Giamotti) as being in Private Parts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I watched Primary Colors recently, and I forgot Janney is the school teacher Not-Clinton is fooling around with at the beginning of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Moneghetti Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Anyone actually subscribe to Acorn TV? It appears to be/mostly BBC police dramas and procedurals. They have dozens of shows listed (60-100) and I'm familiar with only a few of them. Comcast is running a one-week free trials of channel as part of it's Watchathon week. Anyone want to recommend anything. I"ll probably end up watching Line of Duty and that may take the week, but I'd like to know what else is worth checking out. I might be interested in subscribing.

Not to chase this to far down, but despite critical acclaim and all the articles, Mad Men at it's peak didn't come close to Psych's viewership numbers at its peak (though Mad Men did grow throughout it's run while Pysch limped to it's finish) In 2007, Pysch had nearly double the viewership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet she's still had a huge career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Corey Stoll is the best part of Billions, but they're going to do to him what they do to every guest star. It will eventually be revealed he's corrupt and then through a bunch of deus ex machinas or chicanery he'll wind up getting double crossed by Chuck and go to prison or will get defeated by Axe and his one season run will be over.

Robert S Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Anybody here seen the last, wrestling themed, DuckTales episode? I am currently rewatching Battlestar Galactica (the 2004 version) and I am in the middle of season 2. When I was watching the show back then I did not realize how rushed the whole Pegasus storyline is, within one episode from the Pegasus turning up out-of-nowhere to being on the brink of a shooting-war (and in between they had the demotion of three key characters, attempted rape that ended up with the would-be-rapist dead and the people responsible for the death put on trial and convicted, stories told about murder, rape and torture on the Pegasus and so on). They could have easily stretched that to half a season if not longer and it would not have felt particularly slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finished up my run with the second season of Gomorra (three and four aren't on Netflix) and they take that trope and amp it up to a new character introduced and killed EVERY EPISODE. Just about, anyway. And then at the end of each season they whack out a major character just for shits and grins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southside Jim Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I wonder why we haven't seen more sitcoms give their characters jobs like "YouTube movie reviewer" or "Patreon fitness model" to justify never showing the character at work and spending all their time at home, hanging out with their kids?

Casey Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Upload on Amazon Prime is really good, ya'll. You should watch it. I no longer hate Robbie Amell as an actor! It's weird that both Daniels and Schur did shows, fairly recently, pertaining to the afterlife. I think this one is better, but I never could get into the Good Place (as discussed before in the Parks & Rec thread). All that Upload is lacking is the star power that Good Place had with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southside Jim Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 USA has cancelled both Treadstone and The Purge and will be moving almost entirely away from scripted original programming and focusing on reality tv crap for their original programming.

But then I just read that covid is holding up production and it may not air until March of 2021. And now I'm wondering if USA might not just bag the show.

EVA Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Andy Greenwald’s BRIARPATCH made it through these cuts (which is an Esmail joint, technically!). THE SINNER, too. The Dealine article makes it sound like they’re going to stay in the event/limited series business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
