[TV orNotTV] BBC Cutting Back on TV by $120M
The British pubcaster, dealing with a hiring freeze and a freeze in the license fee that viewers are supposed to pay to fund them, is cutting original TV programming by 1,000 hours a year and increasing funds for radio and and online services--of course, there'll still be "Breakfast" and the 1:00, 6:00 and 10:00 news (although the domestic news channel and BBC World News are becoming one and the same, with some programming differences), along with "EastEnders," "Strictly," "Doctor Who" and "Pointless" (although there may be fewer episodes per year): It's noticeable that the increase in radio, the house orchestras, which play mostly classical music, and the annual Prom concerts series are getting cut, which should piss off the aging but loyal Radio 3 audience who views commercial classical stations ClassicFM and Scala with contempt. Also, despite much criticism, it seems that the Beeb is plowing ahead its plan to cut back local programming on the local radio stations, with local programming outside of live sports (mostly soccer) to be from 6 a.m. and 2 p.m., with regional programming for most of the day and national programming late at night (the stations with the exceptions of Radio London and Manchester's GMR simulcast news-talk-sports Radio 5 Live overnight), with hosts and DJs to be cut while the news departments focus on online. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Political Comic Mark Russell Dies at 90
For decades at Washington's Shoreham Hotel, from 1975 to 2004 in a series
of PBS specials taped at producing station WNED in Buffalo and in a
recurring role on the NBC proto-reality show "Real People," Mark Russell
took aim at everyone in Washington with his one-liners and musical parodies
(sung from behind a red-white-and-blue grand piano)--although today he
might be looked upon as hacky, among those responding to his death were Jon
Stewart (“Mark Russell was a DC institution who did the hardest thing a
comic can do… relentlessly and righteously mock his neighbors.”) and George
Carlin's daughter Kelly ("It’s one thing to have a great comedian mind and
another to be able to craft a song at the drop of a hat, but to combine
them to reveal the endless bulls--t of our nation’s politics makes one an
American treasure."):

Victoria Alonso, in charge of post-production, effects and animation for Marvel and a veteran from the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was a producer of the Oscar-nominated for international film "Argentina: 1985," a drama about human rights abuses in her home country for Amazon, and allegedly violated Disney policy by doing interviews for the film and showing up at the Oscars with the film's director instead of the "Black Panther 2" entourage--she also challenged former CEO Bob Chapek to stand up to DeSantis over the "Don't Say Gay" bill and was told she could not do any more interviews for Marvel films--her response was that male Disney employees have made worse violations and only got wrist-slaps: https://www.thewrap.com/marvel-victoria-alonso-fired-argentina-1985/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7235283 It should be mentioned that Alonso, as the person in charge for VFX for Marvel, was on the firing line for the so-called "pixel f--king" the studio was making over effects scenes in Marvel films and TV shows, although her boss Kevin Feige was personally involved in some of those actions. It's been no secret that the quality of the VFX has come into question in recent Marvel output. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] NoTV: NPR Drops 4 Podcasts as Part of Belt-Tightening
The public radio network has already begun to lay off 10% of its staff and not fill vacancies and has sent packing the long-running storytelling/science show "Invisibilia", the hip-hop docuseries "Louder Than a Riot," the how-people-overseas-view-the-US show "Rough Translation" and the relatively-new "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!" stablemate talk show "Everyone & Their Mom." The staffs are being laid and the shows will disappear over the next few months: https://www.thewrap.com/npr-cancels-podcasts-layoffs/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7234676 The reason behind all this is the drop in underwriting revenue (which on the podcasts, they can actually call "advertising," since the FCC doesn't regulate podcasts--and on podcasts you can do what is verboten on non-commercial radio, like price comparisons and "calls to action"), in particular the podcasts, probably because NPR doesn't allow its hosts to do sales pitches for the sponsors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] BBC football host restored job after criticizing UK's asylum policy
The clips ran without any studio commentary but, I assume, with added graphics.

[TV orNotTV] 'SNL' Pre-Show Segment Editors to Strike
Around 20 editors who are members of the IATSE Editors Guild who work on the pre-recorded segments of "Saturday Night Live" have set a strike date of Apr. 1--they say that besides being underpaid compared to similar jobs in the industry, NBCU wants to subcontract work to non-union personnel (something they say is not in any under NBCU contract with IATSE)--a tweet from the Editors Guild parodies the tweets "SNL" posts announcing future guest hosts and musical guests with a picture: "APR 1--SNL--STRIKE!": https://www.thewrap.com/snl-post-production-editors-strike/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7227146 This is the first "SNL"-only strike in the show's 48-year history and if there is a show Apr. 1, will the editors be dragging on the editing on purpose so they can't air on the show that night? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] 'Price' First Out of TV City Before Renovation
The venerable CBS game show will begin its 52nd season in the fall at the new Haven Studios in Glendale after 51 years in Studio 33 (aka "The Bob Barker Studio") as Television City Studios in the Fairfax District undergoes a $1.25B renovation project that will double the number of studios and modernize facilities--network and production company stablemate "Let's Make a Deal" will also move to Haven from its current home in Van Nuys, and no indication if the show will go back to a fuller audience after two pandemic-induced years of seating pre-selected contestants and their families in pods (which have increased lately), a year before that of no audience with the pre-selected contestants standing in the hallway wearing masks until George Gray called their name and three years of extremely obvious sweetening: https://deadline.com/2023/03/the-price-is-right-move-production-television-city-renovations-1235283050/ As for the other current shows in TV City (Corden, who's ending, "Y," "B," Maher, "Idol," "Dancing with the Stars," maybe the "@midnight" reboot), no indication yet, although I would not be surprised if the Bell family soaps move to Sony (even if "B" isn't owned by Sony). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Founder of Inspiration for 'The Bear' Dies at 69
Joseph Zucchero founded in 1979 a fast food joint on Chicago's Near North Side called Mr. Beef, which specialized in that peculiarly Chicago invention of the Italian beef sandwich. The joint was instantly successful and got national attention when Jay Leno went on Letterman during a week in Chicago with a sack of Mr. Beef sandwiches by his side (he later featured them in a Showtime standup special shot in Chicago). Last year, Mr. Beef became immortalized as the inspiration for the FX on Hulu dramedy "The Bear," which did take some liberties in its tale of the son of the owner, a Michelin-starred chef, returning to the beef joint (Mr. Zucchero's son has been a co-owner for many years). Mr. Zucchero died while receiving cancer treatment on Mar. 1: https://www.thewrap.com/bear-joseph-zucchero-mr-beef-dead-obit/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7226212 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

The Ringer's Daniel Joyaux says admit that it's going to be a five-hour show and start it at 5:30 p.m. ET, the same time the Super Bowl kicks off, make the first two hours the craft awards, shorts, documentaries and international film hosted by a familiar person but not a big star (examples: BIll Hader, Issa Rae, Jenny Slate), from 7:30 to 8:30 a half-time show from another location with the original songs (see Rhianna and Lady Gaga singing their nominated songs back-to-back!), the composers conducting the orchestra with excerpts from the nominated scores, the necrology and the only ads previews of upcoming movies while everyone at the Dolby is drinking and socializing, and a final two hours with a big star host and the big awards, with a graphic like the "Pardon the Interruption" rundown showing which awards are coming up, the lifetime achievement awards returning to the live telecast, and getting off in time, even with an overrun, for the late local news at 11 p.m. ET: https://www.theringer.com/oscars/2023/3/6/23626817/academy-awards-2023-how-to-fix-the-oscars-telecast-show But as I said, it'll never happen, because the Academy be the Academy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Perry, Allen Kicking BET's Tires
Paramount is considering selling a majority share of BET, the 42-year-old cable channel founded by Robert Johnson and sold in 2000 to what is now Paramount Global--and Black entertainment mogul Tyler Perry and Black media mogul Byron Allen are seriously considering bidding for the company, which would include Centric, BET Jams (formerly MTV Jams) BET Soul (formerly VH1 Soul), VH1 (founded as MTV's sister channel for older viewers and now with mostly reality shows featuring Black celebrities) and the streamer BET+: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bet-up-for-sale-paramount-global-vh1-1235341981/ A Perry or Allen-owned BET would be attractive to advertisers who want to support minority-owned media (which the channel is definitely not now). On the other hand, either of them would have to deal with the criticisms that have been prevalent from members of the Black community all throughout its history regarding its programming, especially involving the hip-hop videos that now run on the flanker channels (as if Perry and Allen aren't already used to receiving flak from certain members of the community about their past exploits). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

As a cost-cutting move and a possible workaround if there is a WGA strike, "The Young and the Restless" showrunner Josh Griffith has fired the entire "breakdown" staff of writers, who take the general storyline directions from Griffith and his assistants and set up the structure of the daily episodes to be filled in later by "dialogue" writers, and now intends to do that job himself: https://michaelfairmantv.com/report-yrs-josh-griffith-pink-slips-entire-breakdown-writing-staff/2023/02/22/ However, it doesn't look good: Four of the five fired writers are women and one is Black, brought in by the same CBS diversity program that requires quotas for BIPOC contestants on reality comps and game shows (and tries to get the producers to not make the BIPOCs stereotypes). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Ted Lasso's Boss Co-Hosting Eurovision
Hannah Waddingham, the West End musical star who is now known internationally thanks to "Ted Lasso," will be hosting the annual song contest live from Liverpool on May 9, 11 and 13, joined by Brit singer Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina (the Ukraine won last year and would be the host country, but you know what's going on) and on the May 13 finals by Graham Norton, leaving the BBC1 booth where he continued in the snarky tradition of SIr Terry Wogan--will he get away with it when talking to the whole of Europe, Australia and the US (on Peacock)?: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hannah-waddingham-eurovision-host-1235331475/ With Norton leaving the booth and longtime BBC Radio 2 host Ken "Popmaster" Bruce leaving that network, looks like the Beeb is going to have to find new booth hosts for Eurovision (hopefully, Johnny Weir will be the Peacock host again, from Liverpool and not from Universal City). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] HBO Max Leaves 'South Side'
The sitcom about two fledgling Black entrepreneurs on Chicago's south side was one of three Comedy Central live action series that then-Viacom sold to HBO Max after their first seasons as part of cutting down the original programming slate to animated series shared with Paramount+, "TDS" and the Charlamagne da God show--"South Side" made it to a third season on the streamer, but has now been cancelled: https://www.thewrap.com/south-side-cancellation-hbo-max/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7219571 And of the other Comedy Central transplants, if the lily-white "The Other Two" (even if one of the two lead characters is gay) stays around and "Awkafina is Nora from Queens" doesn't, Daddy Zaslav better get ready for the race card accusations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Re: It's far from May, but CBS renews nine series
And one of them is "Lingo," which has wasted the numbers of the lead-in of
"The Price is Right at Night" every week that it had that lead-in. Seems
to me that RuPaul owes Drew Carey a steak dinner at Morton's and that CBS
and Fremantle should be talking about making the "Price" prime time edition
a regular weekly series instead of a series of specials.

[TV orNotTV] NoTV: 'Takeaway' Being Taken Away
Begun in 2008 as part of a major effort to make public radio audiences younger (along with NPR's flop "The Bryant Park Project"), the daily news program from NY's WNYC, Boston's WGBH and Public Radio International (now the Public Radio Exchange) started out as a slicker-sounding, very-highly-produced morning drive competitor to "Morning Edition." When WNYC replaced two hours of "ME" on their FM station with the new show, the highly calcified really old end of the public radio audience, already angered over Bob Edwards' demotion from "ME" (he had gone to Sirius XM by then) and the reduction of classical music programming on WNYC-FM after 9/11, did not like what they heard, forcing the station to move the show to their AM station until it moved to midday and was shortened from two hours to one hour a year later. The show lost most of its attempts at "hipness" in production and became an accepted part of the schedule--but WNYC, claiming reduced station clearance and audience and rising costs, has announced that the program will go off the air in June. Melissa Harris-Perry, the former MSNBC host who has been doing "The Takeaway" for two years (after two hosts in a row left under clouds of alleged sexual harassment) is livid, attacking WNYC on Twitter as committing "an act of institutional cruelty and abuse by the executives of @WNYC": https://www.theroot.com/melissa-harris-perry-speaks-out-about-the-takeaway-bein-1850134755 However, since 2008 public radio has found that podcasts have become a true gateway to younger audiences who don't really listen to radio that much these days, while stations and listeners seem to have found the NPR-distributed but produced by WBUR Boston "Here and Now" a more acceptable midday news show choice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Fox SB-pregame chat with Biden up in the air
More or less. It's talk shows and other programs produced by the Fox First
Run syndication division ("Dish Nation," "Divorce Court") or the Fox-owned
local stations, so there's nothing scripted or no music videos. You do get
two shows hosted or co-hosted by a former "Price is Right" and "Deal or No
Deal" model (and, to be honest, a former Real Housewife--and that would be
Claudia Jordan).

Re: [TV orNotTV] Nexstar Sends CDub Scripted Execs Packing
I am assuming that in Chicago WGN will reconnect with the CW next fall--they dropped it back when they still had the Cubs, Sox, Bulls and Black Hawks and now they don't have any of those teams--they're all on cable on NBC Sports Chicago, with the exception of the Cubs co-owning with Sinclair Marquee Network. Presently, the CDub affil is Weigel's WCIU, with the old "The U" brand on their .2 subchannel and low-powered WMEU. Since I suspected back then that the only reason WCIU took the CDub was because they had taken over the rights to the reruns of Jerry Springer as their one hour of daytime programming, they may not be that interested in the net now.

A typically contrarian Slate article says that German critics have not joined their film industry in their love for Netflix's much-Oscar-nominated remake of "All Quiet on the Western Front," one critic saying that it is the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" of war films: https://slate.com/culture/2023/02/all-quiet-western-front-netflix-movie-oscars.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Colbert’s long IP nightmare over?
When it was done in the past, it was before CBS and Viacom remerged, it was introduced as Colbert's twin from Pennsylvania, who was intimated as the Colbert on the Report and the segment was called "The Werd." The segment had the correct spelling and Colbert was very much not the Report character (the topic was the police murder in Tennessee, something that cutesy animation would not jibe with)--and do they cue the audience to boo whenever a picture of a MAGAt appears?

[TV orNotTV] Original Wednesday Addams Dead at 64
Lisa Loring played the Addams' daughter in the original 60s series at the age of 5 1/2 (memorizing lines before she could read) and then appeared with most of the original cast in the 1977 made-for "Halloween With the New Addams Family"--after the original show ended its run, she went on to the Phyllis Diller bomb "The Pruitts of Southampton" (which was renamed mid-run "The Phyllis Diller Show"--didn't help) and had a good run playing Cricket Montgomery on "As the World Turns"--of a stroke in Burbank with her daughters at her bedside: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/lisa-loring-wednesday-actress-addams-family-dead-at-64-1235312488/ Correcting the THR obit, MGM, which owns the Addams IP today (including the Netflix hit "Wednesday"), did not produce the original series--it was a Filmways presentation, dahlinks (bought by Orion Pictures in 1981, which was acquired by MGM in the late 90s). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Colbert Attacked for 'Toxic Masculinity' Jokes in Proud Boys Bit
On Tuesday night's show, Colbert talked about the trial several members of the neo-fascist group are involved in and the fact that their adopted anthem is "Proud to Be Your Boy" from the stage version of Disney's "Aladdin" and snickered at a clip from the show featuring cast member Adam Jacobs singing the song--Jacobs considered the snicker an attack on his manhood and wrote the following on Instagram: "Not funny @colbertlateshow. I understand the point you were trying to make with the Proud Boys, but completely emasculating me, mocking my work (and all musical theatre artists) all while using my image without my permission, is a poor way to go about it. I had always thought @stephenathome was a friend to the Broadway community, but it sure doesn’t seem like it in this clip. #PoorTaste” (clip in link below): https://www.onstageblog.com/editorials/2023/1/26/stephen-colbert-joke-ignites-anger-in-the-theatre-community Colbert's staff's obvious reply to Jacobs claiming they used the clip without his permission would probably be B roll (with a "Disney's Aladdin" credit in the "Late Show" credit font at the bottom of the screen) and fair use. Most of the comments agreed with Jacobs and another writer to OnStage Blog compared Colbert to Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] IYC: Oscar nominations
I was going to do a summary of the nominees that basically began life on streaming, but since Warners ended the day-and-date on HBO Max policy, there isn't all that much to report. The only streaming nominee for Best Picture is Netflix's new adaptation of "All Quiet on the Western Front," which besides Best Picture is nominated for International Film (Germany), cinematography, makeup and hairstyling, original score, production design, sound, visual effects and adapted screenplay--tied for second in total nominations with "The Banshees of Inisherin" and just behind "Everything Everywhere All at Once." Other streaming films in the major categories are AppleTV+'s "Causeway" (supporting actor Brian Tyree Henry--sorry JLaw), Netflix's "Blonde" (Ana de Armas as Marilyn), Amazon's "Argentina 1985" (international) and Netflix's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" (adapted screenplay--because of characters that were in the first film). In addition, three of the five nominees for animated feature--Netflix's "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio" and "The Sea Beast" and Disney+'s "Turning Red" from Pixar--had their initial wide release on streaming. You can look up the short subject nominees yourself. And yeah--Bitch Slapper Willie didn't get nominated.

Re: [TV orNotTV] CNN may turn to comedy during 9 to midnight period
Although I will not call Licht a "paste-eater" like he does, I would tend to agree with Keith Olbermann that the problem with a comedian fronting CNN in prime time is this: What do they do when news breaks and jokes are inappropriate? Stewart and Maher have never been tested with having to become serious anchors doing live coverage and the mind reels of any of the "TDS" guest hosts being able to pull it off. Would you want Leslie Jones as the calm guide through serious events--if she could even do it? I personally would rather have a journalist with a sense of humor on CNN in prime time than a standup comic.

[TV orNotTV] NoTV: Hackers Hit Jesus Music Radio Net FB Page
The Facebook pages of Educational Media Foundation, owners of "positive, encouraging" contemporary Christian music radio network K-Love, have seemingly been taken over since Dec. 26 by hackers who have posted what can be described as less than Christian---EMF says that it's trying to regain control of the pages, but people in similar situations with FB/Meta pages say that it's a long slog to get that control back: https://radioinsight.com/headlines/247338/k-love-notifies-listeners-of-facebook-page-hacking/ The non-commercial K-Love is probably the most listened-to religious network in the U.S. and EMF has acquired a high profile in recent years by buying established radio stations in major markets--something no one really wants to do anymore--generally with CASH!--and flipping them to either K-Love or "worship music" AirOne. They also own podcaster AccessMore and all of those FB pages and FB pages for K-Love and AirOne programs were affected by the hack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] CW's New Owners Renew 'All-American'
The high school football drama will be back for its sixth season on the network transitioning to its new owners Nexstar, probably because the Greg Berlanti-produced show doesn't need the special effects that his Arrowverse shows require, but it is still interesting that the first renewal order of president Brad Schwartz (who rolled the dice on "Schitt's Creek" and won when he ran Paramount's Pop TV) isn't the presumed future of the C-Dub of unscripted or foreign imports: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cw-renews-all-american-season-6-1235296809/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] golden globes 2023
Well, the overnights are in and the Globes pulled their second-lowest NBC audience since the WGA strike-affected 2008 telecast (which was basically a televised press conference) and less than the pandemic-affected 2021 telecast (which was basically Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in an empty Beverly Hilton ballroom)--but NBC was still second for the night after Dick Wolf's "FBI" franchise on CBS, so don't bet on the Globes not coming back just yet: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/tv-ratings-tuesday-jan-10-2023-1235297098/ On Thursday, January 12, 2023 at 6:05:08 PM UTC-6 Tom Wolper wrote: > It’s available for replay on the app. If someone gives me a time mark I’d > watch a few minutes to see.

Re: [TV orNotTV] How ESPN Covered MNF Medical Emergency
Correction to the Post article: Not New York, Bristol. That should be a given by now. And this wasn't the only incident like this yesterday on ESPN/ABC. In the fourth quarter of yesterday's Cheese-Flavored Crackers Citrus Bowl, Purdue wide receiver Deion Burks was knocked unconscious late in the fourth quarter. He did come to and is currently in the hospital, but the game continued, even though LSU was leading 56-7, a blowout: https://saturdaytradition.com/purdue-football/deion-burks-purdue-wr-carted-off-the-field-following-scary-citrus-bowl-injury/ Mark Jeffries spotligh...@gmail.com On Tue, Jan 3, 2023 at 10:34 AM PGage wrote: > I am no cheerleader for the NFL, ESPN, or Joe Buck, but I give Buck, > Aikman and ESPN generally positive marks for how they handled an > unprecedented medical emergency during last night’s MNF telecast. > > As the severity of the incident became clear they were respectful and > restrained, and avoided speculation.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Mini review: The Wheel
And the only actual ads were in the local breaks, at least on "The Wheel" (in the two breaks where there were ads, it was all promos, a PSA for the Sandy Hook Project, which I'm sure Steve Douchbag and his idiots on "Fox and Friends" made a comment about this morning, an ad for "Puss in Boots 2," which as a Universal release counts as promo time, and an NFL Shop ad, which the networks that have the NFL have to run in promo time). In the old days, this would have been called "sustaining" and Nielsen wouldn't have measured this, I think. (Also, in the old days this was a "dark week" where ratings weren't taken and the networks dumped all of their news documentaries and cultural shows like, uh, the Kennedy Center Honors on the week's schedule.)

Re: [TV orNotTV] So long, Maggie Thrett
After listening to "Soupy," I think it does have something to do with Mr. Sales (as Wally Bruner called him on "What's My Line?" when he was in his John Daly mode). At that time, he had a daily show on what was WNEW in New York (and was syndicated) and had a hit record called "The Mouse," another one of those dance instruction records. With all of the references to mice in the lyrics to "Soupy," I think that Ms. Thrett's record was an answer record to "The Mouse" (a tradition that's more of a country music thing). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] SortaNoTV: Sausage Roll Boy Beats Beatles for Most UK Xmas No. 1s
For the fifth consecutive year, "LadBaby," the nom de YouTube for Mark and
Roxanne Hoyle, have won the coveted Christmas No. 1 single in the UK for
another parody song for charity about sausage rolls. "Food Aid," a parody
of the original charity Christmas record "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by
Band Aid, was only released on Dec. 15 and was able to knock Wham!'s "Last
Christmas" out of the top spot this week (that's for you Americans who are
screaming "Whamageddon!" this year). The previous record-holder was a tie
between the Beatles and original Brit teenage idol Cliff Richard, with both
hitting the holiday top spot four times (technically, one of Sir Cliff's
appearances was as part of the second Band Aid recording of "Do They
Know..." in 1989). Last year the Hoyles beat the Fab Four's record for the
most consecutive No. 1s ("I Want to Hold Your Hand" in 1963, "I Feel Fine"
in 1964 and "Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out" in 1965):

(Elton John and Ed Sheeran's "Merry Christmas"--Sir Elton and Sheeran
appeared on the parody) last year--have had the proceeds go to a food bank,
while this year Band Aid is receiving part of the proceeds (in exchange for
the rights to use "Do They Know..."), so in some ways it's better than all
those years in the oughts and 2010s when the Great British Public
mindlessly followed Simon Cowell's dictates and made the winner of "The X
Factor" the winner of Christmas No. 1. But still--the Beatles beaten out
by some YouTube bloke shouting about sausage rolls?

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Jim Gardner is retiring
I would not be surprised if Gardner's tribute might go on Hulu. They have put on things from the ABC-owned stations before--and Saturday night, Hulu will have a "Tracking Santa" show produced by the ABC-owned stations and I assume featuring appearances from the various anchors, so Gardner may be on this one as well to represent Action News. As long as they play the theme song.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Mini review: The Wheel
McIntyre almost said as much about "1 in 3" at the top of the Monday night show. And I saw that there's a credit for an audience warmup guy. It seems to me that like the British version, there's no real audience (it was said that the reason for "The Wheel" was that McIntyre's regular show is so dependent on audience participation that they couldn't do it during the pandemic). Why would they have a warmup guy for Christian Shrader's laptop (and the same for the U.S. "The Chase," which also has a warmup man credit and I've actually seen a video that reveals that there's no audience)?

[TV orNotTV] Emmys Try to Avoid Gang Nominations for Series, Redefine Variety Categories
The Television Academy has changed the policy allowing members to make unlimited nominations for a program in each category, making them limited to the number of nominations per categ(usually five), in an attempt to keep one show from dominating the acting categories as "White Lotus" and "Succession" did last year. In addition, the variety show categories have been redefined from Variety Talk and Variety Sketch into Talk and Variety, defining the former as predominantly unscripted interviews and discussions and the latter as predominantly scripted segments, in noticing that there aren't that many sketch shows around these days (but not wanting to piss off Lorne by not giving "SNL" its discrete category): https://www.thewrap.com/emmys-change-rule-hog-nominations/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7192059 Which seems to me to be a way to get the 100% scripted John Oliver show out of the talk show category where it wins year after year, especially since nobody's doing variety shows these days that fit the category except for between 11:30 and 1 every Saturday night on NBC and Peacock. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] 'Mr. Cooper' Star Gets Bum Rush from Hotel He's Staying In
Mark Curry, still best-known for the sitcom "Hanging with Mr. Cooper," was doing a standup gig in the conservative community Colorado Springs, Colo. (I should know--my parents lived out the rest of their lives in that town) and staying at the Wyndham Hotel there, was hanging out in the hotel lobby before going to his gig when an employee demanded to see his room key. Curry asked for his ID and an argument ensued (did we mention that Curry is Black?). Curry recorded it, put it on his Instagram and told his followers to call the combined security/maintenance chief at the hotel. The hotel chain, whose brands include La Quinta, Days Inn, Super 8, Microtel, AmericInn, Ramada, Baymont, Wingate, Travelodge and Howard Johnson and are mostly franchise operations, responded by saying that the hotel was a franchisee, that Curry was being refunded and could stay for free in the future and that that there would be diversity training (the video is in the below link): https://www.thewrap.com/comedian-mark-curry-racially-profiled-colorado-hotel/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7187973 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

The way things are going, I'm wondering that if Sky and the ABC Australia make a third season of "Frayed," it'll end up on HBO Max. For me, this is in hopes that a third season will give a substantive plot line to Kerry Armstrong's character, because she deserves it.

[TV orNotTV] Lucas Leaves 'Bake Off' (Show Fans Rejoice)
Matt Lucas, the comedian who helped create the once-acclaimed, now attacked
for racist, sexist and general "punching down" humor UK series "Little
Britain," is stepping down as co-host of "The Great British Bake Off"
("Baking Show" in North America--it screens in the U.S. on Netflix) after
three seasons, claiming demands from other gigs--his stint on the show
(along with co-host Noel Fielding) was criticized by some of the show's
fans (who generally hate all other reality shows) for bringing their show
down to the level of, uh, "Little Britain":
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/great-british-bake-off-matt-lucas-exits-1235276686/
The fan rumor mill seems to believe that the beloved ex-hosts Mel Giedroyc
and Sue Perkins are to be returning to the big tent, but we shall see.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Mark Burnett leaving MGM
Perhaps those incriminating "Apprentice" outtakes will now see the light of
day.
As the link states, the main problem with Burnett at MGM was that he was
unable to come up with anything as successful as his previous shows--and he
had no interest in the scripted prestige shows. More importantly, all of
his other shows that came to MGM have other owners involved--because they
were all formats created by others ("Apprentice"--and his first show for
Discovery, "Eco-Challenge"--were the only hits that he created--and of
course, Trump owns part of "Apprentice"). His other main interests were
all those Biblical-themed scripted shows he was doing for cable and the
Light TV subchannel of family programming--the former shows didn't bring in
the numbers or got lost in cable's removal from scripted as streaming came
along and he ended up selling Light to Byron Allen--it's now Grio,
competing with Scripps' Bounce for Black audiences.
