Going on TV and saying you love crime is a great way to impress President Crimes. I'll give him that.

Honestly kind of hard to know because I've rewatched so few shows from the '90s other than very celebrated stuff like SEINFELD or THE SIMPSONS, but my first thought is Chris Elliott's "Get a Life."

When Hakeem was little, he had a hole in the floor of his bedroom. A floor that’s supposed to be solid, he’s supposed to be able to stand on. Hakeem didn’t have that.

Lots of good TV this year! But also this was the clear choice!

So they realized "Harry Potter books promote witchcraft" was a loser and gave up on it.

No, I think the politicized evangelical movement is essentially opportunistic. They pick the fights they are sure they can win. That's why they went after trans ATHLETES specifically so hard. Polls suggested that angle was an easier sell than more large-scale big picture bigotry.

(Also I think for the most part, the people who cry the loudest about racially swapped characters are the ones who can't wait to load up a fresh episode the moment it goes online. By RINGS OF POWER S2 I was discussing the show EXCLUSIVELY with haters.)

For the first time since 2008, the best-selling game wasn't 'Call of Duty' or a Rockstar Games title For the first time since 2008, the best selling video game of the year wasn't 'Call of Duty' or a Rockstar Games title.

This was what we were all HOPING, I think, but then that Hogwarts game became the literal best seller of that entire YEAR, so it doesn't really seem like reality bore this out. www.fastcompany.com/91013150/bes...

I don't really know! But I presume a lot of millennial parents have gotten their kids into it, and THEY are certainly interested enough still to throw on an HBO show and give it a whirl, right?

I mean, I'm not saying I think it will be GOOD. I just think enough people like Harry Potter in general that there will be curiosity and hype, and probably a lot of people will CHECK IT OUT.

I don't know but the Potter game did well and they keep building theme park attractions... I presume there's still a general level of buzz around the franchise. Those FANTASTIC BEASTS films were SO AWFUL, they feel like outliers. People lost interest in THAT series, not Hogwarts.

Well, I think "Do any large-scale SVOD shows justify their expense on an individual subscriber basis?" is a very different question. I feel like we're evaluating its relative success like we do with all of these shows. Is it among HBO Max's most watched next year?

Do you guys feel like the POTTER show is definitely going to fail? I'd like to believe that but don't. I still feel like the % of the overall population that has turned on Potter because of JK being super awful is low and there's still a lot of Hogwarts interest/awareness out there.
