The dialogue on Justified is still unrivaled for me. It was poetic. If Sneaky Pete's second season makes the quality leap that Justified did in S2, it might be something special too.

Their sub numbers are in the low 6 figures? Hmm. I'm going to stand firm with my theory that Sesso is almost completely supported by the comedians that have shows on there and their friends watching the shows they're creating. It's like YouTube, but just the L.A. comic scene lol.

Low six figures sounds implausibly high to me, tbh.

I always wondered who Seeso was for

A series of mid-level executives at NBC who wanted to run a vanity project?

A small cadre of alt-alt-alt-comics who weren't getting specials at the 850 other places who do comedy specials?

The same 200 people who buy tickets to UCB Sunset improv shows every week?
 
Clearly you don't listen to podcasts which have any random NYC/LA comic on, all they can ever do is talk about their fucking Seeso show and every other comedian on the podcast then talks about their own. Grizzlyjin is right, the only people who subbed to Seeso are comics and the people who go to improv shows. Its gotten ridiculous on some of the Earwolf podcasts with how many people have Seeso shows and all of them hyping up each others.

I can't wait until Youtube offers some sort of micropayment for individual channels, it'll make sense for all these people who can't get their shows on air to put it up on youtube and hope someone pays them. Asking people to sub to random new websites is never going to work though.

Look I know I should do better things than looking at the twitter account of the guy who used to lead (and also founded) Seeso. But I can't decide whether this is shade or the type of obliviousness that has lead to the level of success Seeso is known for:

... it's the obliviousness isn't it?

Now, can you explain Crackle?
 
Man the throwback weekend Discovery Channel is doing was weird but so damn nostalgic.
Mythbusters
Monster Garage
American Chopper
only thing missing from that era was Junkyard Wars.

Weird part is that they actually filmed new stuff to go with these episodes

Remember when Snapchat shuttered its "original content channel" (including their 12,000-square-foot studio facility)?
Just asking~~

And in unrelated news:
Time Warner Forges Partnership With Snap To Develop Shows, Sell Ads
Time Warner has agreed to a $100 million program development deal with Snap, the Wall Street Journal reports — sending shares in the owner of Snapchat up about 2.5% in mid-day trading.

The companies reportedly will jointly develop up to 10 shows a year, including scripted comedies and dramas, with Time Warner committing to buy ads on Snap over the next two years for HBO, Warner Bros, and its Turner networks.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Time to move on to my counter-conspiracy theory that CMT only entered in to discussions for Last Man Standing so that they can bow out but win brownie points with right wingers.

First episode of Cardinal almost put me to sleep but after going though the rest I'm surprised at how great it turned out. I might be biased since it's Canadian but nonetheless, good shit.

Glad to see they decided to make a second and third season. I think it's available on Hulu for those of you in the US.

Shouldn't they have jumped on Mike Rowe's show when CNN "agreed" to part ways with him?
 
The series made the fatal mistake of staring off as a procedural, but around the half way point it becomes more serialized and skyrockets in quality

The pilot is about 90 minutes and is some of the most perfect TV you'll ever see. Interestingly, Goggins was supposed to be dead at the end of it (hence the procedural aspect), but then the production team woke up, realized what they had, and did a 180. Boyd lives!

How would you do original content on Snapchat that isn't porn?

Do you do a weird tie in for Godzilla where people are snapping giant monster attacks.

What did Mike rowe say?
To be fair he's much more neutral and is probably much closer to a traditional Republican than the new style ones we have now. Rowe said that he took the show off CNN to avoid "politics" though, so yeah. :p

Funny enough, he guest starred on Last Man Standing as Allen's character's brother. lol

I'm going to get into this soon, I need a good "The Killing" type of show. It's perfect to watch in the upcoming horrid summer weather.

'Wayward Sisters' will air as a backdoor pilot in the upcoming 13th season.
The CW is mounting yet another attempt at a Supernatural spinoff.

It has tapped the show's favorite Kim Rhodes to star in a potential spinoff of the long-running genre drama, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Titled Wayward Sisters, the backdoor pilot will air as a planted episode in Supernatural's forthcoming 13th season. The potential offshoot tells the story of Sheriff Jody Mills (Rhodes) and a group of troubled young women, all of them orphaned by supernatural tragedy. Under Mills' protection, they emerge as a supreme monster-fighting force.

Awesome news for Supernatural fans. This is what they should have done for the previous attempt at a spin-off: use a fan favorite character instead of introducing random people that no one cares about.

Too be fair he actually cares about the working class, instead of paying lip service.

God I wish the other one had gone through, the one about supernaturals living in the city.

It's crazy Supernatural hadn't had spinoff yet

Oh, gee. I wonder why they didn't make the cast of the Supernatural spinoff biological sisters.

(Might as well repost it here, too.)

The Scooby Doo crossover actually has me interested in the show. I hope it's successful enough that they meet the Harlem Globetrotters next.

The idea for Bloodlines was interesting but the backdoor pilot was bad, one of the series worst episodes. The characters just didn't work and it felt more like The Originals than Supernatural.

This one should be a pretty sure bet though.

I will take your word for it, I am a lapsed viewer. I haven't seen an ep since they killed Kevin

Might be worth marathoning. The second half of season 9, after his death, is one of the most frustrating points in the series. Season 10 is overall a step up. Then season 11 is one of the best seasons of the show and it goes back to some of the topics of seasons 4 and 5.

Season 12, which just went up on Netflix, was great as well.

I see Jennifer Love Hewlett was on it, I do love her. But I got tired of the Winchesters snipping at each other and the universe pissing on them

Jennifer Love Hewitt was never on Supernatural. Haha.

But as far as the brother bickering goes, the second half of season 9, right after you stopped, is probably the worst in the series.

It gets better in season 10 but the writers finally dropped it all together after that. Seasons 11 and 12 had them fully working together without the forced arguments.

Season 4 of Turn actually premiered higher than season 3 - 664K vs 471K - and on a Saturday to boot (vs Monday where season 3 aired). It also got higher ratings than every episode of season 3, except for the finale, which earned one thousand more viewers.

Pretty impressive. (although ratings are still very low overall, so I doubt AMC is in a rush to reverse their decision to end the show :p)
