EVA Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Wow, there’s a name I haven’t thought about in a while. VINYL bombing really did a number on his career. From naming his projects on HBO to minding the shop for Taylor Sheridan on Paramount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "you're not supposed to know this guy's dead but you find out he's dead at the end" episode was horrid and should be mocked though. I think HBO and everyone involved really overestimated the interest in a show about a 1970's record label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't think the concept was the problem as much as it was focused on all the wrong people. Nobody like music, because of the people at the label. If you are going to make this show, it has to be about the music first and foremost, and then add all the label shit from there. With that said, that's a much harder show to make, because you need a musician who is both a talented enough musician to make the audience buy into them, and a great actor to carry the show.

Craig H Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'm trying to think of where Taylor Sheridan lost me. Sicario is a masterpiece and one of the best movies I've ever seen. It had to have been some time after Sicario 2 came out. It wasn't necessarily that movie that did it, but I think it was more or less his demeanor in general and I was just like, oh, so he's like country Chuck Palahniuk. And since then it has felt like he's been catering to a very specific audience that I'm not part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I had to Google him to see what he looks like and all I could think when I saw his pic is "I didn't know Ron Perlman and Marky Mark had a baby". Turns out he's also responsible for "Mayor of Kingstown", which is pretty hit and miss at first but picks up a bit towards the end. Looks like he enjoys cosplaying as a cowboy quite a bit.

Craig H Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Bwahaha, Todd Chrisley sentenced to 12 years in prison and his wife was sentenced to 7. Maybe they'll do a new series from their respective prisons. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) You know, if you are A.) Using fraud to secure millions in bank loans B.) Severely underreporting your income to the IRS and C.) In the process of defaulting on said fraudulent loans... Maybe agreeing to a reality show filmed inside your mansion, about how rich you are, isn't the best idea.

We ALWAYS had either WGN or WTTW on and, I want to say I was at my babysitter's house when it happened. She turned the TV off. I can't remember what was on TV, but knowing them, if it was WGN that was on then it was Andy Griffith or something like that. If it was WTTW it was probably a cooking show.

driver Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Maybe the strangest thing I saw on PBS was in '86 when Left of Center had a segment about pro wrestling and the film maker was Curt Henning's manager(The Professor) for one match.

odessasteps Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) As a child of 70s and 80s, lots of pbs watching: from electric company and 321 contact to mystery to this old house to that music video show that also taught things like adverbs and such. edit: Colorsounds.

Namaste, Lilias, wherever you are. My brother had a ginormous crush on Ginny Ortiz, the actress that played Trini on 321 Contact, so we were honor bound to tune in. Lilias, Yoga and You came on next. I always found the music and lighting intriguing as a youth and it did not hurt that Lilias was a beautiful contortionist clad in a skintight leotard. Our PBS station also ran Doctor Who, Blake's 7, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Saturday evenings. Between the morning cartoons from the Big 3 and British sci-fi, my brother and I were glued to the television set from dawn til dusk.

My younger sister and I watched together though for very different reasons. For 9 or 10 year-old me Lilias was very exotic. Just the kind of woman I'd spend the rest of my life falling in love with. Excuse me now while I go settle down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
