Sigh. My family has started watching Wonka’s The Golden Ticket and I want to jump out a window. The AI Gene Wilder voice is so fucked up.

I’m watching SOMETHING IS OUT THERE, an NBC sci-fi miniseries from the late 80s, and in one scene the aliens are watching NBC’s CRIME STORY. They reference it in dialogue and everything! Some wild synergy.

An “alien” (who looks very, very human) watches a TV airing Crime Story, with an image of Dennis Farina.

I’m rewatching X-FILES and there’s so much I’d forgotten. Like how often Mulder and Scully get disarmed and knocked around by just about every suspect they encounter. And how they refer to each other by name a dozen times in every conversation. And Mulder sometimes dresses like this.

Fox Mulder looking dorky as hell in a backwards Georgetown Hoyas baseball hat.

I won't pretend I'm always the best editor of my own work, but sometimes I stop and think "Myles, you really do need to use hyperlinks to explain references to things that happened more than a decade ago that may or may not be known to your readers."

A bullet point from a review of Ted Lasso: "Is Topher Grace available to create the Lady Greyhounds cut of the season and only focuses on the team and its players?"

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

I’ve driven past the WB lot Olive billboard for years and dreamt about having a show (specifically a DC Comics show) up on that sacred space. Get Jiro based on the comic by Anthony Bourdain Joel Rose & Langdon Foss premieres this Sat. Oct 3rd at midnight on Adult Swim and then next day on HBO Max.

I don't think this this has anything to do with AI. I just finished on two big productions and use of AI never came into play. If it's being used, and I'm sure it is, it's on the margins. This has more to do with contraction and lack of support from studios.

It'd be nice if the 90s-era movie stars I knew growing up (Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, etc.) were able to age gracefully onscreen a la the stars of *their* youth, like Paul Newman or Jack Nicholson.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

It's not just that streamers are doing TV but more expensive. They also decimated necessary practices like practical budgets and dependable production schedules. Then, with shortened episode orders & smaller staffs / crews, made it so no one under 40 can break in anymore unless they're connected.

So Paramount+ is doing jack shit to promote it, but the second of AVERAGE JOE is available now. This is a terrific little show. A bit like Breaking Bad in how it relishes in the little details as the stakes escalate. It’s alternately thrilling, scary, and hilarious.

It’s an unwritten rule in genre TV that when your heroes have to grab a change of clothes on the run, said clothes are always, always locally-branded tourist merch. Reacher is a show that knows all the rules.
