"Now and Then," purportedly the final single release ever for the Beatles, was at 42 on last week's Official UK Chart--this week it's at number 1, 54 years after their last number 1 (1969s "The Ballad of John and Yoko," despite the BBC not playing it because of the lyric "Christ you know it

Re: [TV orNotTV] Sinclair shuts down news production in Tulsa

Due to having to pay for YouTubeTV in order to allow my mom in law to watch Jeopardy, I’ve been trying to justify the expense by watching local news (as well as banking episodes of Huell Howser and Rick Steves). Los Angeles has fired or retired nearly all of the veteran news staff and replaced

Trivia fact: The Weird Al movie "UHF" was filmed in Tulsa, and the evil network affiliate in the movie is Channel 8 - not a coincidence. > On Nov 10, 2023, at 2:40 PM, Diner wrote: > > WTUL Channel 8, the Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate in Tulsa, is moving its news > production 100 miles away to

WTUL Channel 8, the Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate in Tulsa, is moving its news production 100 miles away to Oklahoma City, where Sinclair owns two stations (Fox affiliate KOKH and independent KOCB). >From what Erin Christy (an anchor at Tulsa station KJRH) is writing on Twitter/X, it appears

Re: [TV orNotTV] WB Says 'Beep Beep' to 'Coyote v. Acme' Movie

There’s a biased reasoning that if the movie is getting shelved it must be a terrible movie. It’s entirely possible that these movies are fine, even better than some which have been released, but there’s some accounting or tax benefit to shelving them. If it’s saving them money one way or another

"The Good Lawyer" isn't much of a loss, but I was really enjoying "Rookie: Feds"; I'm hoping they'll find a way to integrate some of those characters back into the mothership. On Friday, November 10, 2023 at 1:57:48 PM UTC-5 Mark Jeffries wrote: > "The Rookie" spinoff with Niecy Nash "The

[TV orNotTV] The Strike's Over--Time for ABC to Cancel Shows

"The Rookie" spinoff with Niecy Nash "The Rookie: Feds" is dead after one season and they're not going ahead with the "Good Doctor" spinoff "The Good Lawyer," which starred Felicity Huffman and was a backdoor pilot on a "Good Doctor" episode last season:

Re: [TV orNotTV] WB Says 'Beep Beep' to 'Coyote v. Acme' Movie

It certainly seems like accounting rules, the levels of debt that are involved in these write-offs, and/or something else has changed over the last 10 years to make eliminating completed works better for the bottom line than releasing them straight-to-DVD (which is still kind of a thing), or

Re: [TV orNotTV] WB Says 'Beep Beep' to 'Coyote v. Acme' Movie

As others indicated, I’m not versed in studio accountancy, but nobody seemed interested in the tax write off by NOT releasing the Cindy Crawford/Baldwin brother film Fair Game, despite it being theatrical malaise. The studio that gave us Kangaroo Jack is claiming a Wile E Coyote movie is somehow

Re: [TV orNotTV] WB Says 'Beep Beep' to 'Coyote v. Acme' Movie

Producers, directors, writers, and some technical people have to take years out of their lives to make movies like this happen. To go through all that and then find out nobody will get a chance to watch them must be heartbreaking. It’s like a Renaissance prince was a patron to a master artist. He

I would have liked to watch this. Resilience, anvils, trains, fake light at the end of the tunnel So many metaphors for this story. I still don't really Get the idea of spending $70M+ and canning it and getting a tax write-off. I guess that's why I'm not an accountant. /Doug
