Yep. They're shopping it around, so that's a bit of positivity. But NBC basically axed all of their shows except Brilliant Minds, Hunting Party, Law & Order and One Chicago to make room for basketball.

NBC's "Slam Dunk" Is an Egregious Foul Against Loyal Viewers NBC's decision to decimate scripted programming like Found for basketball is deeply hurtful for loyal viewers, and we're struggling.

"As broadcast continues to lean into sports and reality television to curb the cost of producing quality scripted programming, it’s like we’re holding the longest funeral for television as we know it ever." #NBCFOUND #

Big DILF Energy: TV's Obsession with Seasoned Men Is Paying Off It's not just about looks in this Silver Fox Renaissance. TV has captured the universal appeal of seasoned men with authentic storytelling.

"By giving seasoned men room to be vulnerable, complicated, and even sexy, TV finally reflects something closer to real life — and audiences are responding." #ThePitt #ChicagoMed ##NCISORIGINS #ChicagoPD

Death of Ensembles: Networks Are Destroying Their Own Shows One Cast Cut at a Time Networks need to do a better job of keeping their ensembles intact as the cast cutting measures are destroying their series and broadcast TV.

"But more and more, these departures aren’t voluntary — they’re financial decisions disguised as “creativity,” and audiences can tell.

It’s killing trust. It’s killing loyalty. And ultimately, it’s killing shows." #FireCountry #911onABC #ChicagoFire

There's Not Enough Wine in My Golden Goblet to Make Love is Blind Season 8 Interesting Is it just us, or is Love is Blind Season 8 a snoozefest? From the location to the cast, we discuss why it is falling short. Check it out!

They've outdone themselves on #LoveIsBlind with the blandest, whitest, straightest, most boring contestants yet. Momma's going to need a bigger cup of wine to get through this season.

FOX's Extracted Destroys Families For Our Perverse Entertainment (And Not Nearly Enough Money) Extracted is a hot mess reality show that destroys families for our entertainment and a meager amount of cash. But I'm locked in. Here's why!

There's something perverse AF about #ExtractedOnFox, and I hate how I can't turn away from it...

It was such a big episode of #DocOnFox, especially for all the shippers...

It really does seem across the board, for sure. One Chicago is the most egregious. But oof. Thanks!

It's become increasingly more concerning the lengths and measures taken in the US to control and suppress information. Can anyone help me out with reputable new sources to keep up with news here and abroad?

Chicago Med's Steven Weber Talks Archer's Evolution and the "Avengers Endgame" of Crossovers Chicago Med's Steven Weber breaks down Asher's slow evolution, how Lenox challenges him, saving Goodwin, and the Marvel of One Chicago crossovers!

Steven Weber is absolutely hilarious, so charismatic, and slightly chaotic. And it's the best thing ever. Loved speaking to him about #ChicagoMed, Archer's arc, not being Mariska Hargitay, and the "Avengers Endgame" of #OneChicago crossovers!

Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie because of the setting. It's a Christmas movie because it has The Christmas Plot:

A man who is neglecting his family to focus on work learns What Really Matters through an improbable crisis around the holidays and rededicates himself to his wife and kids

Used to think I was Dominique Dawes at the Olympics between the swings and the bars. Now I brace myself just to walk down stairs sideways without tripping.

I briefly went out to shovel. But it's definitely back to blankets, tea, and movies I haven't checked out yet.
Haven't even touched any of the holiday films this year outside of Hot Frosty. So it's a good day to catch up

You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering. Ernest Hemingway

This one hits too hard.
