Just don't know if it is still necessary now that Rickman is dead and Allen is a creep.
The Jetsons Live-Action Sitcom From Robert Zemeckis Lands at ABC

This will either be cheap and bad, or expensive and cancelled. Maybe both.
'I'm Sorry' has been renewed for season 2 by TruTV.
Anyone have a Seeso subscription or trial they could use to verify something for me? I've subscribed via Amazon Prime add-ons to be able to record some of the stuff I don't think they're going to be able to find a new home for. The show "Flulanthropy" is just listed as being a single episode on Amazon. Does the Seeso.com version have additional episodes or is that it? The landing page makes it seem like that's it, but I wanted to be sure.
More people need to watch "Midnight, Texas". It's good supernatural fun.
On the subject of summer shows, Somewhere Between might be the worst network television series I've ever seen. There are no words to explain how poor the craftsmanship is. Tonally inappropriate music, nonsense plot twists, terrible histrionic acting (Devon Sawa is still alive and not in jail????), completely implausible premise, dreadful editing -- the slow-mo scene of a cell phone being dropped to the floor -- it's never obvious what time of day it is or how much time has passed. I recommend you don't look up the premise so that when the premise reveals itself you can appreciate just how bad this is.
My wife wondered, aloud, "Is this the first television show randomly generated by a computer?"
So season 6, episode 11 is when Rhoda finally makes an appearance on Mary Tyler Moore, about 2 seasons after she just disappeared.
Meanwhile Phyllis was just written off randomly as well for her own spinoff. lol
non sequitur of the day goes to.....
yeah that was a week ago and wasn't quoted.
lol yeah, I'm just watching the show and posting my random thoughts here. It was one of those cameos that came out of nowhere, complete with the audience clapping in thunderous applause when they saw the character. It's one of those things that just doesn't happen now, outside of dumb cameos happening on a Chuck Lorre show/Big Bang Theory.Thread gets weird and blog-y during the off season.
Just gotta roll with it until we start posting ratings for failing shows again.

There are many things that I find interesting about it too - like the show has the same issue that I had with Seinfeld and Frasier, where the main character isn't allowed to have any kind of long term relationship (most of the flings last an episode and are never mentioned again). And maybe it's more forgivable in the 70s/80s, but Mary only dates white men. It's not even an option for her to be attracted to anyone else - even the one time the show had a Black recurring character, there is no indication that he has any attraction to her unlike the rest of the cast. Thinking back on Seinfeld and Frasier though, it seems kind of gross that the writers just didn't even bother there... particularly Frasier, which was in the 2000s in Seattle, which I assume is a fairly diverse city.
Frasier didn't have a brief romance with a Black woman? I could've sworn there was an episode about that. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.
I need to make use of my Hulu sub and watch more classic sitcoms. TV Land was my jam when they played stuff from the 60s and 70s. As soon as Home Improvement started showing up it got too real lol

Frasier also had one of the most sex-positive portrayals of a woman I can think of. Ros absolutely loves sex, and whilst Frasier and Niles mock her for the number of guys she beds, it's not (I think, anyways) anything close to slut-shaming. And they're the only two - Martin and Daphne just go with it. Hell, when she gets pregnant, she makes the joke that "condoms have a failure rate of one in a hundred... I can't beat those odds!"
It's been part of an ongoing conversation for a couple pages now.
yeah, I get it. But it's non sequitur for this thread period. It's not 2016-17 cancellations, in addition to the length of time between posts. I'm sure there are other threads for it. But I guess it doesn't matter.

I appreciate the long reply, but it doesn't make sense. This is not a Tv subforum, it's Off Topic. So, make a thread that is a random old show catchup thread...
I dont know if Xena is relevant in 2017, especially since the setting has been done 487 times already.
I was going to say that people don't like that kind of fantasy anymore, but then I remembered that Shanananananara Chronicles was a thing.I dont know if Xena is relevant in 2017, especially since the setting has been done 487 times already.
Maybe I should watch it again. I haven't really thought about the show since it aired, in part because the show lost me with the Niles/Daphne stuff lasting forever.It's made very clear Frasier supports her and the Niles stuff is banter they both enjoy where she hits him back just as hard. It goes away once they become proper friends later anyway. There's the episode where Frasier is uncomfortable with Daphne having sex, but admits it's irrational and not her fault.
The writers of Frasier (and to a lesser extent Cheers) did try to be on top of these things, as much as they could be. Certainly helps the shows age well, whiteness aside.
Sorry if it was previously posted here, but does the thread for the Fall 2017 TV season with schedules and premieres dates have already been made?
Alright, it's very helpful, so thanks RatskyWatsky for making that thread,It'll be up at the tail end of the month.
