I remember the good old days- when shows like* American Gladiators* were on late nights on weekends- these days it's mostly reruns now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] 'Pod Save America' political podcast is coming to HBO
Colbert has had the fellows on a few times, and the segments are pretty good. I could see a Real Time-ish show from them work.

[TV orNotTV] 'Veronica Mars' starring Kristen Bell gets revived by Hulu
NEW YORK (AP) - Veronica Mars has another mystery to solve. Hulu has ordered eight new one-hour interconnected episodes of the series, starring Kristen Bell, that premiered in 2004 and aired on UPN for two seasons and The CW for one. Bell announced the news Thursday on her Instagram account. The original series centered around Bell as a whip-smart high school student named Veronica, who was a teenage detective and made the actress a star. This isn't the first revival of "Veronica Mars." In 2013, Bell and series creator Rob Thomas launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund a "Veronica Mars" feature film that premiered in 2014 and took place 10 years after the show ended. Hulu has also secured the streaming rights to the series. ___ Online: https://www.hulu.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

The worst culprit is ABC, which will have the same guests on both GMA and Kelly & Ryan, talking about the exact same things, and more often than not the guest had nothing interesting to talk about in the first place (looking right at you Chrissie Teigen... if your most interesting story is how to pronounce your name, you need to live more before appearing on talk shows). Local Nebraska news misuses “Breaking News,” using it to describe the same story without updates over several different newscasts and cut-ins. National news updates aren’t much better. Megyn Kelly makes Hota & Kathie Lee look good at their jobs by comparison. Seacrest cannot look good under any circumstances. George Snuffleupagus looks like a Mormon missionary in a biker bar. The amount of time each show on each network spent discussing the annual “Bert & Ernie are gay” story was insane, and the insanity was compounded when the hosts of all shows concluded that it either didn’t matter or was just a stupid topic to discuss. Pop culture run amok. > On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 12:34 PM Tom Wolper wrote: > >> On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 7:56 AM Kevin M. >> wrote: >> >>> AAARRRGGGHHH!!! PPPBBBTTTHHH!!! ACK! ICK!

Every now and then, I have an impulse to record the first hour of the CBS morning show and calculate how many minutes are spent on news, rather than banter, teasers, headlines and "your day in 90 seconds," and of course ads. Fortunately, the impulse passes quickly. But I think "less than 30" might be generous. (Some viewers get something from the network at :25 and :55 while New Yorkers get a local cut-in, right?)

[TV orNotTV] He’s Chevy Chase (unfortunately)
If he really does not know the answer to this question, there is little hope for him... “Chase is eager to work. But these days, he’s more likely to be fielding another round of bad press than a promising pitch. The man who revolutionized television in the 1970s, serving as the first breakout star on NBC’s breakout program, “Saturday Night,” who made three of the best comedies of the 1980s — “Caddyshack, “National Lampoon’s Vacation” and “Fletch” — and who as recently as 2012 earned raves for his turn on “Community,” wonders why he can’t get a break.“ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/lifestyle/chevy-chase-cant-change/?utm_term=.d60bb8662831 -- Sent from Gmail Mobile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
