Re: [TV orNotTV] Review: David Spade's "Lights Out"

2019-08-14 Thread PGage
I feel honor bound, after my snarky comment about Spade (and, I guess,
Steve) to confess that I have now watched 3 or 4 of these shows and did not
hate all of them. As Steve said, a lot depends on the comics on the show,
and what you think of Spade. With 3 comics per night I’m not sure they can
keep doing as well as they have (maybe they will do repeats), but I have
been pretty impressed so far (even penalizing him heavily for the pity
booking of his old friend Dennis Miller last night).

My problem with the show is my fundamental problem with Spade; his snarky
persona can only really be funny if, underneath all of it, he is knowingly
making fun of himself. But he isn’t. Yes, he sometimes does put himself
down, but only by employing the same superficial yardstick to judge himself
and admitting he falls short. But he doesn’t bring the bit around to the
point of exploding the superficial metric itself, and the culture based on
it. It’s like watching the Old Colbert character and periodically realizing
the actor really does endorse nativistic, anti-intellectual values. The
jokes, even when funny, would start to make you sick. But in the current
age a show that does not engage in political humor is something of a
relief.

A precautionary note: In Reno drones will show up at brush fires and they
will immediately blame the news media, but not one has ever been the news
media.
When drones fly firefighting aircraft can't.

This tweet for the police PIO was disturbing, however. I suspect there's
going to be some asses kicked by other news media.

  The original Viacom owned CBS for several years, until the company
decided to split in the mid-00s due to stock market strategy (and as a
solution to an internal power struggle between Les Moonves and whoever
the guy in charge of MTV was at the time, over who would replace
Sumner Redstone when he retired).  
   The original Viacom took the name "CBS Corporation" after the
split, with the rest of the company (MTV, BET, Paramount Pictures,
etc) taking the name "Viacom" as a completely new entity. Now, with
this merger, they're putting the band back together, the way it was 15
years ago.

Carlson is a racist denying the existence of racists. I guess the segment

made? FoxNews hosts are offensive morons. That’s not new. They get slapped

This clip exemplifies why I had to stop watching these shows. The racists

Re: [TV orNotTV] CBS, Viacom together again

2019-08-14 Thread M-D November
Per the 'pedia, Cedar Fair terminated their licensing agreement with CBS 
for Paramount properties (like Star Trek) in 2007-2008.  As for the parks 
themselves, some have been integrated into Cedar Fair's operations, and 
some have been sold.

It wouldn't be in CBS's best interest to go after Cedar Fair (either to get 
the parks back or to acquire the company as a whole) - unless you're Disney 
or Comcast and have the ancillary business to prop them up during down 
times, theme parks tend to be a losing proposition for movie 
studios/entertainment companies in the US.  (And I say this having worked 
at Six Flags Great Adventure at the tail end of the Time Warner era.)

Re: [TV orNotTV] CBS, Viacom together again

2019-08-14 Thread M-D November
Minor correction - the ORIGINAL Viacom was spun off of CBS to act as their 
syndication arm; they were forced to divest in the early '70s. In the late 
90s, THAT version of Viacom ultimately bought Westinghouse (which, by then, 
had bought CBS and renamed itself after the network).  They split again in 
2006; the company that became CBS, Inc. was essentially the legal successor 
to the original Viacom (as well as CBS), whereas the entity known as Viacom 
was, essentially, a new company.

???  Where do you see anything saying they're trying to get Paramount Parks 
back?  This merger is strictly between CBS and Viacom.  Cedar Fair (and 
Paramount Parks) isn't involved at all, unless I missed something in the press 
release.
