Elsalvajeloco Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I liked Moneyball, too, despite the whole "We have Tim Hudson, Barry Zito, Mark Mulder and a few All-Star infielders" part being ignored. But that's more of a problem with the book than the script. To be fair, you can fairly attribute some of that to Bennett Miller's love of revisionist history or downright making stuff up. According to him, people were watching footage from 1996 in 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Agreed on the Social Network, and I fucking love the Newsroom. I'm bummed I don't have HBO anymore, I've missed this past season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 USA cancelled Covert Affairs Maybe I am wrong but I always felt the USA originals just ran their course and then went away. I don't remember ever hearing about one being cancelled. (Granted I don't think I have ever watched a USA show) Of course that could just be picking nits with the terminology.

Spritenaut 32 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 USA cancelled Covert Affairs Maybe I am wrong but I always felt the USA originals just ran their course and then went away. I don't remember ever hearing about one being cancelled. (Granted I don't think I have ever watched a USA show) Of course that could just be picking nits with the terminology. More or less. Most USA shows get renewed/cancelled well in advance, so the producers and showrunner know well in advance when the last year will be. Generally, the end of most USA dramas gets announced as 'the show is ending" without making it clear if it was a network decision or the creators. Usually, the spin seems to be "the creators have decided to end the show". I don't remember Psych being announced as a cancellation. White Collar wasn't announced as a cancellation, but it was later reported the production company was wanting a full season pick-up instead of the five eps it ended up getting. Covert Affair is the first established USA show in a while to get a surprise cancellation notice, I think. Rush did get canceled earlier this year, but it was in it's first season.

RandomAct Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 As much as I loved Psych, it definitely ran it's course. I mean, the show really covered everything it possibly could, and was blessed with a nice little sendoff. I do like that about USA, because I think they realize that their shows had a dedicated following, and rewarded that by letting them have a proper end.

Matt D Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think they could have done one really mythology heavy season of Psych just to close it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 USA Network should take more risks with their programming. TVs going through a golden age right now and they're just churning out good looking people running around in suits. Give Bryan Fuller a shot with a show or reboot some old sci fi show or something. Harris will be heartbroken but he'll get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks to this thing called "Antenna T.V." and WKRP, I now know that this thing that Herb Tarlek is wearing...this tie without a knot...this bizarre 1970s thing I had never seen before... actually is a knot...it's called an "Onassis knot" because it's how Aristotle Onassis wore his ties. FAHIONBATISTANISTAS TAKE NOTE!!! And please please do clue me in on any other examples of this beautiful absurd nightmare. Note: Willie Mays wears one, but loose, you know...loooose and sitting there all sly in between a sad jock's half Windsor and a Presidential double. But I can't find anyone else. Rumblings are that one shows up in MEAN STREETS but I haven't found a picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was interesting how the show barely had a fraction of the budget the CW reboot Nikita must have had...but it still managed to make Section One look about 100 times more ominous, cold and scary. Minimalism works, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Guys, the dude who created THE GOOD WIFE wrote the screenplay for BLOODFIST. Weirdly, he hasn't found a role for Don "The Dragon" Wilson or Billy Blanks on the show. I guess some people change, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Shameless is still hilarious, Emmy Rossum and William H. Macy (hell, the entire cast) are still awesome, and Shanola Hampton is walking around with her tits out in a majority of the first episode of this season. There is no reason you have to not watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
