Yeah, we're all spinning in circles flailing our arms about this right now .... and for the past four years. But right now in particular.

@Derp Jesus fucking christ, you're abominable.

If they are good at preying on the guilt-ridden, so be it; maybe they are Catholic.

How dare.

I'm willing to concede that Square is a weird thing to ask a stranger to use. I don't think that was the heart of this whole argument though.

I'd rather give an addict money than learn that he or she committed a crime to get that money and those drugs.

@surreality what. are you. talking about?

Okay, well.

You interpreted wrong.

So unrelated.

My most horrible neighbors who live with SIX PEOPLE in a /two bedroom/ (but drive BMWs and buy their TODDLERS fucking Docle & Gabbana shirts and smoke in common areas and are just generally THE WORST) have, according to them, a burst pipe and please guess how very little I think the HoA should pay for their repairs.

LOS ANGELES. IT'S RAINING. TURN YOUR DAMN HEADLIGHTS ON.

Peeve II: whateverthefuck algebra tiles are.

@wahoo So you're saying that quality shouldn't be based on what is accomplished, but on what is intended?

I am. You wanna put together a 45 minute musical in 7-10 days?

@Warma-Sheen

I don't know how to answer this. Yes. That's how this business works. In order to get things made, you hire people who are known to the industry. Most of those people are not triple threats. No one is going to hire a nobody.

ETA: MOST people in Los Angeles aren't triple threats. TRUST.

@Roz I agree, CXG did an amazing job of finding & using their cast --

BUT

CXG was also a CABLE show AND they had fewer episodes per season than normal broadcast (13-18 vs 22) ..and we're also comparing a single season to four, but cable vs broadcast is probably a more important apples to oranges sorta thing. Cable can get away with lesser knowns & new talent in a way broadcast can't (or won't).

I really like both of these shows. They're very different though!

Is it okay if it sucks since he's not a producer/choreographer/actor/etc.?

Yes, that is an exaggeration, obviously. But there are quite a few. Are they well known? No. But then again the only person I recognized from the show (and admittedly I don't watch a lot of TV) is Lauren Graham and Skylar Astin. And even they aren't big names. Its FOX. Which is just a step up from WB. The could have and should have done better.

Also, their time limitations are their own fault. Maybe hire more than one choreographer if that is an issue. Again, you don't get a pass for crappy production when your job is to produce a good show.

All the criticisms aside, I just to remind that outside of the heartsongs, I really liked the show.

Woof, okay.

1. It's not FOX. It's NBC. NBC is one of the Big Four. WB doesn't even exist anymore so. What.
2. With apologies because this term is so stupid: these people are names. Jane Levy is a big name. Lauren Graham is a bigger name. Mary Steenburgen is a HUGE name. Everyone else is also a name -- they've worked before, generally in big roles and in big projects and on network. These are long-lasting working actors with recognizable faces AND track records that advertisers like.

Also, their time limitations are their own fault. Maybe hire more than one choreographer if that is an issue. Again, you don't get a pass for crappy production when your job is to produce a good show.

Ugh, this is so offensive and shitty-- time limitations are not their fault. That's how network television works. That's how ALL television works: it's fast. It moves really, really fast. You want 22 episodes of tv a year? It's fast.

Glad you like the show. Sure doesn't seem like it.

This is more RL sads:

I lost my first foster kitten today

I swear to god if ONE MORE PERSON in this industry tells me to “go make some moves then” when I express frustration over how nothing is happening, I’m going to lose it.
