The first died on the vine after CBS decided they hated the cast. Well that and everybody was so pissed off after the ending of HIMYM it would have died pretty quick regardless. Is the dad going to be dead too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's a good thing syndication no longer matters as much, because no one's watching HIMYM, Lost, or Game of Thrones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny you say that - I noticed earlier on in the pandemic that HIMYM wasn't as in heavy rotation with the syndication as it used to be. I stumble across it every once in awhile now but not much. Meanwhile - you can watch a good 4 hours a day of Big Bang Theory Did Lost ever have a syndication run? I feel like I would have finally finished it if it did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Lost seems like the worst possible show to try and watch in syndication. I know I see reruns on one of the channels on Sling but I don't recall which ones. Just now, RIPPA said: Also - why the fuck is ION showing what appears to be 24 hours straight of Chicago PD?

Zimbra Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 What else do old people have to do? And here is perhaps my hottest TV take: Reba is a genuinely very good sitcom and way better than any non-actor vanity project has the right to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I stay in a hotel and put on TNT, TBS, or USA at least one of the channels is showing non-stop episodes of NCIS, SVU, or some other police procedural so the formula appeals to some demographic (I'm guessing old people, like Zimbra said). Hasn't 'churn out endless seasons of cop shows' been CBS's strategy for the past decade or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I would have finally finished it if it did It had a very short run on Sci-Fi (might have been SyFy by then). Didn't last long, so I'm guessing it bombed. IRRC, Sci-Fi/SyFy aired it in four hour blocks, which isn't the best way to watch the show since once you miss a few eps, you might as well just quit and watch it via DVD or On Demand.

That's one of those things that could literally happen to anybody, but it's also something that should be taken into account in a competition like this. She knows that if she lets a hollandaise sit too long it can break, and she let it sit too long and it cost her the competition. It's not bad booking, it is putting the dominant babyface champ in a position where she has to do some soul searching before the comeback. B-Dub is a terrible babyface - She's TJP winning the Cruiserweight Classic. Maneet is a delusional Bo Dallas heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ion - and whover owns them - runs shows into the ground. It seems to be their programming strategy. For a long while, Criminal Minds and Blue Bloods marathons were on several days a week. It seemed like Blue Bloods was always on some channel or other. Been noticing NCIS: New Orleans in heavy rotation on a couple different channels. Ugh. I like procedurals, and they generally have high replay ability for me, but I've always found NCIS: NO to be a chore. Bad writing, lack of cast chemistry, too much cast turnover, etc. I've never thought NCIS or NCIS: LA were good, exactly, but most season are at least watchable.

RIPPA Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 The Night Court sequel series (at least that is how it is being described) will be bringing Dan Larroquette back as Dan Fielding Deadline also reports that Melissa Rauch will be playing Judge Abby Stone. While not official but going by her name - it appears the character will be Harry Stone's (played by the late Harry Anderson) daughter. Rauch's production company is the one executive producing the show and she is the one who pitched the idea to WBTV (the studio behind the original) so it is not surprising she is in the lead.

EVA Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I ran across a NIGHT COURT rerun a few weeks back and I had completely forgotten that Post wasn’t event on the show for the first couple of years. Apparently there was a lot of cast turnover I didn’t remember. Speaking of old sitcoms, I’ve been rewatching CHEERS for the past couple months on Hulu, and I am blown away that they tried to give the Tortellis a spin-off. I mean, all those early Nick and Loretta guest spots are absolute bangers, but those were obviously not the sort of people that anybody would want to spend more than 1 or 2 episodes a season with. That there was a whole show built around them is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
