always saw "get over it" said to someone who is repeataly upset or complaining about something, when I was just curious and poiting it out. But whatever, I think I'm just getting too old for the internet.

The producer filmed an amateur porno and wasn't comfortable with the footage?

Why would they spinoff something from a show that is currently Friday night burn-off material? Then again, they are the network that was dumb enough to make a Riverdale/Dynasty night in their fall schedule, so maybe they really are this stupid.
Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the vast majority of TVD/TO but the franchise isn't strong enough for any spinoffs at this point in time.

That would have to set some sorta record, right? For lowest rated program to ever get a spin-off?
Showtime only put Twin Peaks episodes 3 and 4 up early on their streaming service right?
I see episodes 3 and 4 each got around 195K viewers while episode 5 had around 250k and 6 had around 270k viewers. A little bit of an uptick but still not amazing. It would be interesting to see if the streaming numbers held up.

Are you talking about their shows they acquired through acquisition?
It varies, some of the shows they go in and co-produce early on, some they acquire for distribution, and the weirdest one is when they become co-producers after the fact (mind you, it's not just Netflix who do this) by heaping money on the producers until they get a credit. But generally yes.
The very first show that Netflix called "A Netflix Original Series" (see this trailer for instance) was Lilyhammer. Which wasn't commissioned by Netflix, but they got the exclusive US distribution rights for.
I would like this, so hope it happens, but yeah, these shows aren't that popular outside the fanbase anymore.

If you watch stuff like Better Call Saul or Fargo through netflix in countries other than US, it does not mention FX AT ALL and only says "A Netflix Original Series" in huge letters at the beginning. So any foreign viewer will simply assume BCS and other shows are simply made by Netflix.
Its amazing branding and crazy how Netflix is getting away with it, I guess FX doesn't really care that overseas viewers don't know who they are but it definitely is adding to Netflix' prestige, internationally.

As far as I can tell Showtime has been completely silent about Twin Peaks and I'm Dying Up Here's numbers after they released the streaming numbers for the first few days of the first four TP episodes which they almost certainly did to dampen all the stories about how bad the premiere ratings were.
IDUH is still an absolute catastrophe--it got the same sub-Roadies 0.03 demo rating for its second episode. At this point I'm sure Showtime just wants this summer to be over.
American Gods is the same btw. Those ads I mentioned I'm seeing a lot only say "Amazon Original", no mention of Starz.

I'd say Agents of Shield or iZombie hold that title.

I have a total bias against VR/holodeck/time travel stories because they typically become the science fiction equivalent of "it was all a dreeeeeeeeeeeam" stories, so I probably was never going to like the VR arc.
I tried to get into iZombie but I couldn't after it was clear the Spike-clone was evil and she was too dumb to notice it. Dramatic irony works sometimes, but when it makes the main character look completely incapable, it just takes me out of the experience.
Will fans have to send tomatoes to Showtime to get them to save the show?
Or unsold Carrot Top/Dane Cook comedy albums?
I just finished season 3 of Agents of SHIELD and really enjoyed that. How does season 4 hold up? Was it as good as season 3?

The Ghost Rider arc anyway is probably the best thing they've done. But mostly because they stopped trying to pretend it was #allconnected and just did their own thing with their own superhero.
Most fans here would agree in saying that season 4 was up there as one of, if not the best seasons of SHIELD.
Spike clone? Was that in S1? The show has improved by leaps and bounds since then.

That's kinda weird that Netflix/Amazon are doing that, though in retrospect Netflix has been doing that for a while

Yeah, got like five episodes in and the "evil Zombie" shows up around then (I call him Spike clone since he apparently asked the guy who played Spike about bleaching/dying his hair for the role, according to wiki anyway) and she still doesn't notice that he's clearly evil so I just gave up.
This is probably it, since you basically have to be an Asian TV nerd to know where all the Japanese and Korean shows they brand as "Netflix originals" originally aired. Although I guess with the newer Japanese stuff they're co-pros.
So you are either talking about Blaine who is found out by episode 3 or about Lowell who is actually a good guy...
Netflix Original basically means "timed or permanent streaming exclusivity in this particular region". Which is to say, it has almost no meaning at this point. It certainly can't be used to determine whether Netflix had anything at all to do with production.
Netflix has been doing it literally always.
I double checked, the very first Netflix Original branded series was Lilyhammer. And not only was it not commissioned by Netflix, they were not co-producing the first season of it either.

I know we were all laughing at it a while back, but Blood Drive on Syfy (the grindhouse thing where cars run on blood) is actually getting pretty decent reviews...

Totally missed that Ronny Chieng's new show aired in Australia (with presumably an American air date at some point since I assume he's still a Daily Show guy?). Just in time to make up for Dr. Ken's cancellation.

*Sigh* Now I have to give it a try. Plus Alan Ritchson is a charismatic guy. That Kickstarter Blue Mountain State movie was surprisingly good, and he carried a lot of it.

I find it odd that they use Netflix Orginal for stuff like that, especially if the shows are not necessarily good. Almost depreciates their value in my eyes and makes it hard to find their actual original shows. I would prefer a different branding, basically a "Netflix Exclusive" for basically everything they don't produce themselves.
It's extremely odd. But I imagine your reason is probably the correct one.
No. MS says which kind of Exclusive. Console Exclusive. Console Launch Exclusive. Exclusive (which doesn't really exist anymore since all MS E's are play anywhere now I think). World Premiere Exclusive.
Amazon UK has started doing this now. They either label the shows Amazon Original or Amazon exclusive.

My dream is Twin peaks gets "cancelled" and they just push the rest of the episodes out on demand immediately. That would be one hell of a binge trip.

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.
CW getting desperate maybe? Better try a spin-off than another No Tomorrow?
And it is actually a pretty decent show with a couple of pretty good social commentary storylines.
Please note the difference between producers hoping and The CW ordering.
Never!
No, that's basically it.
I love all those comics too, but that shit is on lock down. If the service dies hopefully the content just goes global on Netflix, I can't imagine there's huge any reason for it not to.
We know.

Yep. Season 2 is one of the greatest seasons of television ever produced.
