Why do these shows keep stopping?? GET YR SHIT TOGETHER AMERICA

In-season dead weeks are a regular thing with broadcast network shows (cable shows not so much).

starting to think that maybe vague hipster cachet is a poor substitute for actual comic gifts

Doesn't mean you can't keep trying!

yeah it's a lot easier to avoid stopping and starting when your tv "series" are only six episodes long.

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 4 April 2011 23:40 (fifteen years ago)

I saw a trailer for a gritty 'n' serious-looking film & was surprised to see Rashida Jones was the lead, because I only know her from this & Chapelle's Show.

amazing zing to try on people from a country that has 22-episode scripted weekly "series" without production breaks

despite not doin a tweet for five weeks (sic), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 00:52 (fifteen years ago)

You Say Various Things (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 02:55 (fifteen years ago)

American TV series have production breaks.

Jouster, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 04:44 (fifteen years ago)

amazing use of the "xposts" notification there

despite not doin a tweet for five weeks (sic), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 05:05 (fifteen years ago)

also quite a newsflash

VegemiteGrrl, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 05:22 (fifteen years ago)

Sorry was sort of half-asleep for that one.

this is vintage "being an aggressive dick for no discernible reason" material from n/a

poxy british series and their meagre six-episode runs

if only our "seasons" ran for seven months

Dammit, fucked up my attempt to lighten the mood.

because when you're getting 11 hours or so of awesome entertainment for free, it's kind of silly to complain about minor interruptions.

btw my tone all along has been intended as light-hearted ribbing rather than aggressive dick, i don't really feel like i've said anything really mean?

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 22:26 (fifteen years ago)

to be clear, i like lots of british tv shows, though i think the six-episode seasons are kind of lame. i don't know anything about australian tv but i'm sure it's amazing.

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 22:29 (fifteen years ago)

it's not

You Say Various Things (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 22:43 (fifteen years ago)

the Stuart Littlemore run on Media Watch was the best TV show ever made until The Wire S4

despite not doin a tweet for five weeks (sic), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 23:24 (fifteen years ago)

TRUTH BOMB

VegemiteGrrl, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 23:26 (fifteen years ago)

the bedded-down derailment of this thread is a very real consequence of these ridiculous scheduling breaks fyi
