[TV orNotTV] Re: New York appeals court torn over reversing Weinstein convictoin

2024-04-25 Thread 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV
"Front page" at V... the panel ruled 4-3 for Weinstein, finding that the NY 
judge prejudicially allowed women to testify about allegations that weren't 
in the original case (he remains jailed, as an appeal is planned)... the 
issue of "prior bad acts" also led to the overturning of Bill Cosby's case, 
tho on different grounds...

We sat through the new episode today… it wasn’t an episode; it was a few

This week’s episode didn’t feature in depth journalism. To me, the logical 
next step was to confront the people who would go on to hire the convicted 
child sex predator on more TV shows AFTER he was convicted. Because that’s 
the story… the deeply flawed system that not only allows criminal behavior 
but endorses it. Instead this week’s episode was just to invite back people 
previously interviewed to discuss the “impact” of the documentary and how 
it was received on social media. They’d have been better off just letting 
the documentary speak for (and stand for) itself.

A pee-arr spotted by The Futon Critic announced the pickup, without any 
other details... B

Mark Jeffries, March 8th:

The publicity has been about the fact that "The Gates" is the first daytime 
soap centered around Black characters since the 1989 NBC show 
"Generations," but more importantly, it is the first new daytime  soap 
since NBC premiered the rather gonzo "Passions" in 1999 (it went off in 
2008).  Even more importantly, it is a return to one of the two longtime 
pillars of daytime television (along with game shows) that have been 
reduced in recent years, with only three remaining on the networks (four if 
you count "Days of Our Lives" streaming on Peacock).  And it is the first 
new show in years from Procter & Gamble Productions, once the power 
producer of daytime soaps ("As the World Turns," "Guiding LIght," "Edge of 
Night," etc., etc.), but not active since "World" went off in 2010:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/cbs-gates-black-daytime-soap-opera-1235844567/#recipient_hashed=04cc8432e89af1614e2b95d666f830a827568c45d7e9abbbd46ed84bf99ddfc7_salt=f8f1afe78c2d990c75c3121d1fa116315cbb1eda09b65c89df333468970da653

No indication of premiere date or what "The Gates" will be replacing, but 
if I were working on "The Talk," I'd be worried about now.

Mark Jeffries, March 28th:

An extra episode of the ID docuseries about how big a creep Nickelodeon 
producer Dan Schneider was will air Sun. Apr. 7 (and stream on Max and 
Discovery+ the next day) featuring several of the interviewees from the 
series talking with Soledad O'Brien about the response to the series (which 
revealed things about Schneider that have been known for years, but hey...):

https://www.thewrap.com/quiet-on-set-episode-5-drake-bell/

And if certain podcasts and YouTube countdowners can be believed, it wasn't 
just Schneider and that acting coach at the First Network for Kids--Amber 
Frank, who worked on the early 2010s Nick sitcom "The Haunted Hathaways" at 
the Paramount lot far away from Schneider on Sunset Blvd., has said that 
was some creepiness going on their set, although perhaps not as bad. (I 
have to admit that I watched that show because a former Chicago actress I 
knew played the mom.)

Watched the full series this week. Some of the details I knew as it 
happened, others I learned a few years ago, but there was a lot I did not 
know. The names of the people who wrote letters to the court supporting a 
pedophile (who was recorded admitting to the crime) and trying to blame the 
victim was disheartening. 

Until now, I thought the worst thing that ever came out of the “Nickelodeon 
on Sunset” building was “The Chevy Chase Show.” 

I wonder how much the Disney executives are praying they don’t produce a 
second season focused on the Disney Channel?

2024-03-10 Thread 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV
"*Another* World" oddly wasn't mentioned in the THR article... but then 
neither were the others Mark mentioned...B

Mark Jeffries, March 8th:

The publicity has been about the fact that "The Gates" is the first daytime 
soap centered around Black characters since the 1989 NBC show 
"Generations," but more importantly, it is the first new daytime  soap 
since NBC premiered the rather gonzo "Passions" in 1999 (it went off in 
2008).  Even more importantly, it is a return to one of the two longtime 
pillars of daytime television (along with game shows) that have been 
reduced in recent years, with only three remaining on the networks (four if 
you count "Days of Our Lives" streaming on Peacock).  And it is the first 
new show in years from Procter & Gamble Productions, once the power 
producer of daytime soaps ("As the World Turns," "Guiding LIght," "Edge of 
Night," etc., etc.), but not active since "World" went off in 2010:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/cbs-gates-black-daytime-soap-opera-1235844567/#recipient_hashed=04cc8432e89af1614e2b95d666f830a827568c45d7e9abbbd46ed84bf99ddfc7_salt=f8f1afe78c2d990c75c3121d1fa116315cbb1eda09b65c89df333468970da653

No indication of premiere date or what "The Gates" will be replacing, but 
if I were working on "The Talk," I'd be worried about now.

2010, joins the planned-for-2024-25 CBS effort as the just-starting-out

My exposure to them is mainly sports pioneer WFAN 102.9/660... the Fan, it

B

Mark Jeffries, Feb 21st:

Audacy, the radio station owner and podcast producer in bankruptcy formerly 
known as Entercom, of which most of its news-talk stations are almost 
solidly conservative, is about to have one of rightwing talk's favorite 
targets become Audacy's largest individual shareholder:  Soros Fund 
Management, run by--you guessed it--billionaire supporter of progressive 
causes (and diehard capitalist) George Soros:

https://thedesk.net/news/george-soros-audacy-stock-investment/

Audacy's holdings include the former CBS-owned stations, and outside of the 
all-news stations formerly owned by CBS in New York, Chicago, San 
Francisco, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, almost every Audacy talk station 
is solidly conservative (even MInneapolis' WCCO, the symbol of full service 
non-political "Good Neighbor" radio, carried Rush Limbaugh--they replaced 
him after his death with local programming and carry very little syndicated 
programs otherwise).

[TV orNotTV] Re: FX, Murphy Play the 'Feud' with Truman Capote

2024-02-07 Thread 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV
Ringwald is already planning her next role in a Murphy project, after 
telling Seth Meyers she wanted to play a "psycho b!tch"... *that* I'd like 
to see!
And Mark is right about which Carson she played...

Mark Jeffries, 12/5/2023:

The anthology series began in 2017 when the channel was still owned by Fox 
with "Bette and Joan," the story of Ms. Davis and Ms. Crawford making 
"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" together and fighting the whole way--the 
pandemic and producer Ryan Murphy's unsuccessful stint at Netflix delayed a 
second season, but it will premiere on Jan. 31 and will be "Capote vs. the 
Swans," about the relationship of the "In Cold Blood" author Truman Capote 
with New York's highest-profile socialites in the 60s, with Tom Hollander 
as Capote, Naomi Watts as Babe Paley (wife of CBS founder Bill Paley, 
played here by Treat Williams), Diane Lane as Slim Keith, Chloe Sevigny as 
C.Z. Guest, Calista Flockhart as Jackie O's sister Lee Radziwill, Demi 
Moore as Ann "Bang Bang" Woodward and Molly Ringwald as Joanne Carson, who 
I assume was the Joanne Carson who was one of Johnny's wives:

https://deadline.com/2023/12/feud-capote-vs-the-swans-fx-premiere-date-ryan-murphy-anthology-series-1235652584/

The first two episodes will air on Jan. 31, with sister channel FXX airing 
at the same time a "director's cut" of the pilot (presumably directed by 
Gus Van Zant, who is listed as an episode director), with eps including the 
"director's cut" to stream the next day on Hulu (where most viewers will 
probably watch it) and simultaneously stream on Star+ in Latin America and 
Disney+ everywhere else.

[TV orNotTV] Fortnite owner in $1.5B deal with D!sney

2024-02-07 Thread 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV
*Die Maus* and Epic Games, per Bob Iger, will create a new "games and 
entertainment universe," bringing characters from all their properties 
together, and interoperable with Fortnite... it's not their first joint 
venture, with the gaming platform helping to tease *...The Rise of 
Skywalker* a few years ago...

Re: [TV orNotTV] Carano Suing Disney, Lucasfilm Over 'Mandalorian' Firing--Musk's Her Sugar Daddy

But remember, Elon (*yeah, him*) is backing the suit... still, when CNBC 
asked Bob Iger what his thoughts were about it, and he just said "None," 
and moved on to another topic...

Tom Wolper, to Mark Jeffries, Feb 6th:

I wouldn’t bet against Disney’s legal department. And if they think 
Carano’s case has any merit they’ll settle and make it go away.

Where she continued her battle with Alyssa Milano (whom was at a "Who's The

I just in the last day realized it was Weathers who pulled up to a 
desert-walking Rob Gronkowski, on his way to Vegas to make a fool of 
himself again for the sake of a national sports-betting brand... the book 
says the campaign will be "adjusted"...

Somewhere, the Tedmeister is smiling... B

Mark Jeffries, Feb 6th, in part:

The troubled "CNN This Morning," one of the more high-profile decisions of 
Chris "The Paste-Eater" Licht, is being shut down, the hosts being 
reassigned, the couch put out in the Hudson Yards dumpster (and the NY 
staff either reassigned or laid off) and will be replaced by an expanded 
edition of their morning hard news block from the CNN Center in Atlanta, 
meaning that they're going with hard news against the cheery network shows 
(and CBS lately has cut down on the hard news emphasis), Coffee Joe on 
MSNBC and the morons on the curvy couch on Fox News:
