If the plan of Disney is to present the archive of their properties then they need to add the shows that didn't work as well as the ones that did. Spotify doesn't limit itself to greatest hits albums and Disney shouldn't limit itself with its properties. When the announcement was made that the SNL archive was going to be on Peacock there were some wondering here if that would include episodes like the Louise Lasser and Milton Berle shows. If Lorne is trying to sell a package to a cable channel it makes sense to leave out the failures. But when an archive is being made accessible and ad money is not at stake it's important to include even the failures for people who want to understand a show and its impact in the context of its time. I never got immersed into the Star Wars universe. And I know there are a lot of people born after 1977 for whom this universe has taken a part of their imaginations. They take it seriously and believe everybody involved always did. A couple of days ago, while watching Season 4 of The Muppet Show, I came across an episode with Mark Hammill which also featured R2D2, C3P0, and Chewbacca. It's clear that they were delighted to have made a movie that resonated with an audience but they didn't take any of it seriously. In the name of preserving the integrity of the franchise it's as ludicrous for Disney to suppress the Ewoks show as it would be to suppress the Muppet Show episode. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
