[TV orNotTV] Six seasons and a movie... and a castle

"Community" and "Rick & Morty" creator Dan Harmon has opened Starburns Castle, his own venue in beautiful downtown Burbank, basically so he won't have to give Meltdown Comics a percentage of the ticket sales when he does his Harmontown podcasts. I suspect, as Kevin Smith found out with his

According to their promotional email, BritBox now has day-of "Corrie" for five days after air. It seems that Hulu will maintain the Weatherfield archives. On Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at 10:37:59 PM UTC-4, Brad Beam wrote: > > On Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 4:38:12 PM UTC-4, Adam Bowie wrote: >>

[TV orNotTV] In case you want Leno and SCG with extra snark

Spike is airing a TMI version of the Lip Sync Battle between Craig Ferguson and Jay Leno.  It's essentially a pop-up video version of the show, and airs tonight at 9:30 eastern (check those local listings). FWIW, Leno did not half-ass it (far from it), but SCG is just a more dynamic performer.

Re: [TV orNotTV] 'Mister Rogers' Back in the Neighborhood on--Gaming Streamer?

Twitch marathoned The Joy of Painting (w/ Bob Ross) to huge success. It spawned a lot of memes (KappaRoss, Saved!, Hwhite, Bob 4: Devil 0, etc) that still pop up on Reddit & other social media sites. I think over 4 million watched the stream, at one point, and there were about 200K (IIRC)

[TV orNotTV] Andy Cohen Moving to OTA TV?

There is a long history of cable series of all kinds being unable to transfer their success to OTA TV (remember, Stephen Colbert is not doing "The Colbert Report" on CBS weeknights at 11:35), but a bet is being made this summer that Andy Cohen's cheeky Bravo talker "Watch What Happens Live"

They filmed the show with the original cast for posterity, but that will sit on the shelf for now and will for several years, I'd imagine. Additionally, they filmed the show again to use as clips for the PBS doc "Hamilton's America" which debuted on PBS last fall. On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 9:39 AM,
