RT: Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny 48% (11/12) -- (link) - budice May 19, 14:20 4

leaving aside the crummy pay/career tract, streaming has just made the TV show viewing experience itself terrible -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 19, 13:24 30
- I know I'm weird, but I watch a lot less television and movies now that more and more of it is more easily available. - Dano May 19, 14:20 1
  - Again, I'm weird, but there was something about the fact that if you didn't watch Moonlighting at 9PM on Tuesday, you missed it. - Dano May 19, 14:25

      - oh that's interesting. -- nm - Remlik May 19, 14:37
  - Hey that's our schtick -- nm - ABC from 25 years ago May 19, 13:49 4
    - at least networks had an excuse (attracting advertisers) for developing everything to lowest common denominator. streamers can make whatever they want - hollywood big shot May 19, 13:53
    - (They made me so mad by cancelling 2 new shows that year) -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:52 2

      - use the app TV Time. IT's a great service to keep track of what you've watched and were you left off. It's like a mini tv guide you can program -- nm - Remlik May 19, 13:41 3
        
        Honestly, I won't update it. I know me and I'll get caught up with watching things and not update the app. - Krusty May 19, 13:52 2

- It's absolutely terrible how media consumption is the best it's every been! -- nm - David May 19, 13:26 7
  - I do agree with her that it shouldn't be 18 months between seasons. - the wrong element May 19, 13:40 1
    - Everyone should wait 7 years between series 2 and 3 of Happy Valley to wait for the child actor to grow up. - LMS May 19, 14:10
  - which is why Netflix keeps shitcanning all their unpromoted shows after two seasons -- nm - hollywood big shot May 19, 13:31 4
    - I thought that was due to the way they did contracts. - the wrong element May 19, 13:46 1
      - that too but basically they see their business model as throwing shit constantly against the wall to see what sticks, while not telling anyone what - hollywood big shot May 19, 13:49
    - Better to have watched two seasons than none at all? - JD May 19, 13:34 1

    - you should have seen SM's cocky self when he said " I know where to get NY pizza, I just need info on an Italian restaurant" - Pippy Quintas May 19, 13:30 2
      - Find him a mafia pizzeria and he will like it. -- nm - loosilu May 19, 14:37
