Digger is a misguided star vehicle with quite a bit of visual style. A longer, less funny, and more self serious version of Birdman.

Okay, sitting down to Digger - in a full house for free movie day! Giving this a fair shot with a crowd, we'll see.

The Simpsons has been trying to do this for more than a quarter century and I refuse to let it.

Not sure if the Raiders can do this, but regardless, Cousins playing well means Atlanta wasn't even wrong to sign him. They just sucked too much

McDaniel was a bizarre hire even by the towering standards Weird Harbaugh Hires and it might get him shit canned. Heh

Turned on NFL-AM to see a little Mariota and got to indeed see just a little of him before he got hurt. Also saw a Microsoft Co-Pilot commercial. The use case? "Make my charts beautiful" This is your machine god? This is your hundreds of billions in revenue per year?

Two privately owned teams playing at publicly financed stadiums on a premium cable television package with the most product friendly announcers ownership could find making even the darkest public information seem quaint is a perfect expression of Roger Goodell's NFL. Somewhere, Tagliabue smiles.

At the S2-S9ish peak of Simpsons, a team of people who would go on to rack up Oscars and Emmys killed themselves making something special. The anecdote from John Ortved's oral history that sticks is one of the writers punting a script in the parking lot. After that it was just another production.

I have no personal memory of "Too Something", pulled after 5eps in the fall before airing a few more as a summer replacement. Most of the pilot season was unaired. epguides.com/NewYorkDaze/ FOX's complete inability to program their cushiest timeslot will always crack me up.

Yeah, the only new information is credited to one (1) "industry insider" in two paragraphs, including the conclusion. Everything else is links to earlier and already known stories like 60 Minutes resignations and Tony Dokupil being ratings poison. Insider got themselves a nice headline, though.
Screenshot of upthread linked article: 

The 42-year-old's revamp of CBS Mornings has also been a ratings loss.

"Everyone is wondering how soon it will take the Ellisons to pull the plug once the merger goes through," one industry insider told Radar. "CBS is desperately trying to spin these abysmal launch numbers as a win when the entire industry is laughing at yet the third failure on Bari's record."Screenshot from upthread linked article:

"60 Minutes used to be the most-watched news show in television and now it’s being outranked by weekday editions of World News Tonight," the insider continued. "It's one thing to deliver a dip in ratings and it’s another to totally submarine the most valuable brand in news."

Dashed off thought on my way to work, but check out belief in corporal punishment as a proxy for violence in the home. Within the lifetimes of today's middle age people hitting your kids as a natural part of parenting went from a majority to a distinct minority and that stuff lasts a lifetime.
