Sing it with me now!

https://youtu.be/5LdzHBZV5fo

There's a magic in the early morning, we've found,
When the sunrise smiles on everything around.
It's a portrait of the happiness that we feel and always will,
For eight is enough to fill our lives with love.

Oh, we're lucky we can share this beautiful stage.
So many find the world an empty place.
Anyone who asks to stand alone is always standing still,
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love.

Oh, love makes all the difference now,
And one that really shows.
Just look at every one of us --
See how it overflows!

Though we spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes,
If we're ever puzzled by the changing times,
There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill,
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love.
Yes, more than enough to fill our lives with lo-o-o-ove.

Nope. It's as if no one there ever expected Alex to die, even though
there'd been months of warning.

I don't think they'll pick a permanent host. The audience appears to
have readily accepted Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik as rotating hosts.
Why should anybody mess with that?

No, she didn't. I expect she and Pat will leave the show together, but
maybe not until this five-year deal is done. This presumes both of
them remain healthy.

No I doubt it means religious types are real big on HBO/Cinemax, it
means secular in its less commonly used economics sense -- long lasting
and not cyclical.

I think -- I hope -- that they meant "spectacular."

Claiming "we're still big with the priests and nuns" will do nothing to
improve ratings.

My brother was interested in this.

I'm wondering about "Wheel", though - I imagine that Pat Sajak and
Vanna White are unlikely to still be doing this in 5 years, so I wonder
if a "host switch" is planned in the middle of this renewal period...

Well, I'm glad McMann is still getting jobs (and surprised that Hoffman

The way I hear this, Nexstar was contractually obliged to renew one
Warners show and one CBS show - this was the Warners show chosen (it's
apparently the highest-rated one).

Most people think "Walker" will be the CBS show renewed.

Everything else currently on The C-Wub is likely dead.

They have a high hurdle to clear, as season #1 was nearly outstanding.
I'm not expecting season #2 to be nearly as compelling...

OK, Robin didn't report this, but TVLine is saying that all of season
#2 of "Single Drunk Female" is getting dropped on Hulu the day after
the season #2 premiere on Squiggle.

IOW, it sounds like burnoff to me.

I wouldn't expect The Squiggle!! Channel to be doing scripted originals
for much longer...

I watched the first episode of this out of morbid curiosity and it
doesn't resemble a real DevGru selection program in any way whatsoever.

It's basically just an obstacle course for D-list celebrities.

I watched the first season and I still have the last season mouldering
on my TiVo. Have no idea when I'll get around to it.

However, I'm tempted to say no Jen Connelly, no show!

They didn't want to seem ghoulish by auditioning a replacement while he
was still alive.

Jennings seems to be doing the day-to-day shows and Bialik doesn't the
specials, like the tournament of champions and the celebrity tournaments.

Jeez, talk about the luckiest woman ever. She basically landed a
lifetime job that pays her millions per year to do nothing more than
smile and turn big letter cubes. Hell, she doesn't even have to turn
them anymore. All she does is point to them and they light up.

Wow, it apparently is a real thing. Hadn't seen a thing about this.
https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a36940045/alien-series-fx-plot-release-date-cast-explained/

Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley is developing an Alien television series
for FX, meaning that the Xenomorph will be back to inspire fright and
disgust once again—this time in weekly installments.

With an Earth setting comes Earth problems—namely, income inequality.
Discussing his inspiration for where to take the franchise, Hawley
points to the series’ long engagement with working class characters,
from interstellar merchants to Marines on assignment.

Alien takes place before Ripley. It's the first story in the Alien
franchise that takes place on Earth. It takes place on our planet,
near the end of this century we’re currently in, 70-odd years from
now. All I can tell you is Ripley won’t be a part of it, and neither
will any other characters, other than the alien itself.

Not surprising though as how many people could even begin to get
through a realistic DevGru selection program.

So do they mean up to 99 people are being laid off? ;)

Great. Woke 'progressive' ALIEN. Just what we need.

Well, that's gonna take some massive retconning to the ALIEN universe.
