I fully expect it to be good for a few episodes before going into the gutter like almost every musical-themed TV show from the past decade (Glee, Smash, Nashville, Empire) has.

I don’t know how it can.  It’s from Lin Manuel-Miranda @WrathOfHan

Twin Peaks is the only time Showtime became relevant over the past 3-4 years.

 

The ratings though...really didn't reflect that 

 

Streams could have been thru the roof

lol even Starz is more relevant than they are at this point. Used to be the other way around.

Starz had one a few weeks ago and I couldn’t figure out why.  I didn’t notice any new movies.  Unless it was a tv show they were showing.  But all I know of their shows were Spartacus that pirate one

Shameless brought in potentially interesting elements in Season 8 only to do nothing interesting with them.

They've been upping their original programming since the Disney contract expired (The Force Awakens was the last movie they got from them). They don't have any big water cooler hits other than I guess Outlander which has more of a very devout following than being a ratings monster.

Power does some pretty big numbers I believe, but obviously that's a little more concentrated towards certain demographics.

They still get Sony movies so expect Spider-Man:Homecoming and Jumanji to play for years

Yeah, they're still looking for their Game of Thrones. Don't think American Gods caught on the way they thought it would (even if the first season was good stuff as @aabattery would say).

I think people would like Starz more of they didn't have the dumbest name on the planet.

It's been around since the mid-90s. This catchy jingle alone is probably why they continue to be around:

Looking at Power numbers, the viewership is around 1.5-2 million viewers, which is a lot.

Guys, I need help. 

 

So there's this girl I've been texting and I feel like I messed up.

 

I told her that I would speak to her later then I texted her 5 hours later. She hasn't answered and it's been almost a day. I feel like I texted to often and it may have rubbed her the wrong way. It's been bothering me all day. I'm seeing black panther tomorrow but I can't get excited because this is bothering me so much. 

 

lol

[filmlover]

That sounds like a problem only @WrathOfHan has a solution for.

[WrathOfHan]

Starz is home of those shows you say you'll check out someday but never will.

After doing his Eng Lit homework my son went on a rant about the english language.  He decided to fix it himself.... a combination of changing a few rules and adding to the alphabet.  The result:

 

Autumn & Pixie â ruñï in θ park chasï kats. Θy â very qick. Θy â getï very tirè.  Moθr ś at home watλï televśó.  Θ sun ś setï & it ś getï dark.   Alex’s parës have xitè θ buildï. I añouncè φat I belψve φat it ś time φat Alex ξould come home & do hś homework.

How close is my translation?

 

“Autumn and Pixie are running in the park chasing cats.  They are very quick.  They are getting very tired.  Mother is at home watching television.  The sun is setting and it’s getting dark.  Alex’s parents have exited the building.  I announce that I believe that it’s time that Alex should come home and do his homework.”
