Crying because Disney+/Hulu did The Artful Dodger so dirty by not marketing it properly and it could and should be getting the same amount of praise and love as Bridgerton or My Lady Jane, but instead they were stupid and most people donāt even realize it exists.

I'm honestly kind of surprised at this stage. To have actually gotten meetings about this while shopping around, having those critical ratings and viewer numbers plus such a massive fan response for the renewal campaign, and STILL no one wanted it? Or at least not enough to pay for it? Smdh
It feels like the TV industry is in its death throes at this point. No one is going to want to risk watching anything new if everything is cancelled before the complete stories can be told. I don't want more procedurals, reality tv crap, or spin-offs of spin-offs. I just want the queer stories that are out there to be allowed to survive.

interview with the vampire (2022) deserves better promotion
another corn on the plate situation: amc's marketing strategy, if it even exists, sucks.
we've known this since season 1. personally, i was lucky enough to get on-board with the series early enough back while it was airing in 2022 because my algorithm knows me, knows i like (queer) dramatic pieces of media that will fuck me up emotionally for the rest of my life because i got too attached to the unstable character(s). i then convinced my equally insane friend to watch it with me (didn't take much convincing, honestly) and we've been hooked ever since, annoying people enough to tune in too.
and i know i'm not the only one. most of this show's marketing relies on its passionate fanbase, which amc is lucky to have, but mouth-to-ear promotion becomes frustrating when it seems to be the primary, and almost only, marketing tool (i say āalmostā here because outlets like tvtime ā thank you ā have been doing the most to feed us interviews).
as of now, we've mostly gotten 2-pixel quality interviews over zoom. while i appreciate watching them because it's ābetter than nothingā and i love getting more content of them, whose interest does it pique other than people already invested in the fandom? we need more mainstream media news outlets to interview the cast ā amc headquarters should consider themselves lucky to have cast members who love each other so much, why not use that to their advantage? give them a buzzfeed puppy interview! a gq agree to disagree interview! jacob anderson is your main actor, get him an elle song association interview! ladbible's food battle ā uk vs australia vs america? get them to guess parisian vs new orleans slang? best friends test?
what will it take for amc to invest in a show that clearly deserves its already-received praise to gain a wider audience?
not only such exposure would gather more fans, but it would attract award critics attention ā which the crew & cast deserve in masses. and if they wanna talk money, well, they should know the show's potential would bring a lot more capital. (it's already keeping them afloat...)
marketing investment goes a long way.
#let me not get into the whole episode-dropping-on-saturday mess#and how assad deserved to get co-lead status interviews#stop underusing your cast members' intelligence#let them talk let them rant let them have fun too#i'm not hopeful for filmed jacob/assad/delainey interviews anymore but amc you suck#i actually dmed amc w more ranting this is ridiculous#and they're stupid as hell for cancelling the iwtv podcast#all that will to rant publicly came from amc declining filmupdates' offer to interview the cast btw#they probs won't see but someone needs to yell at them to their faces#it's all so ridiculous. YOUR FANS AND YOUR CAST AND YOUR CREW DESERVE BETTER. THE SHOW IS FANTASTIC.#IT DESERVES THE BEAR/SUCCESSION TYPE OF TREATMENT#textpost#iwtv#interview with the vampire#iwtv 2022#interview with the vampire 2022#amc interview with the vampire#amc iwtv#amc's interview with the vampire#amc's iwtv#mine#my post#my posts

THE THING IS the star wars shows are almost all unequivocally Bad* but there are JUST ENOUGH exceptions** that sometimes when u see a new show coming out*** you go WELL perhaps there is hope after all. and maybe it looks cool**** :) and someone else may be thinking well sol isn't it easy for you since you are a star wars fan? and the truth of the matter is that NO. it is because i am a star wars fan that i know just how bad star wars is. and my love for star wars has a direct correlation to how much i hate its shows***** so u see actually it is very difficult for me
#*in varying ways eg tbb (racist) tbobf (racist; dick felony has a small acorn in place of where most ppl would have a frontal lobe)#**mando; andor; moses ingram; ewan mcgregor's extremely camp old gay man voice in kenobi; etc#***the acolyte; skeleton crew#****amandla stenberg.#*****this will make sense especially if u are say a star wars fans who likes aliens and has seen even one seen from ahsoka disney+ or a#star wars fan who loves niche lore like the nightsisters and dathomir (sorry guys u deserve better) or a star wars fan who#perceives things + has correct opinions + knows jedi r space buddhists (+sick but optional plasma sword) + not space cops/christian monks#croidhe#addendum that i looked up the acolyte cast out of curiosity after this (there is a korean jedi!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and apparently the reviews r a#whopping 1.5/5 on goog and 3.5/10 on imdb;;#however i also know how much star wars fans old and new hate black leads and co-leads so?

i'm so disappointed even as a star wars fan for a fairly long time the acolyte is one of the only stories that's truly felt for me and spoke to me :/
#the acolyte#holly talks bs#genuinely what is even the point of watching tv shows at this point#they're given no space no breathing room no time to grow and find an audience#and immediately expected to perform numerical miracles#streaming is so fucking cooked lmao#tbh it just tells me dlf isn't truly interested in new audiences at all#they simply want to cater to the same nostalgia obsessed adult children over and over again until the heat death of the fucking universe#lesyle and the cast and crew deserved so much better#and on manny's birthday??!?

i will probably make tua4 gifs at some point
but right now i just don't feel like it
#i'm just disappointed#there were a lot of individual little moments i really loved#but it's just overshadowed by all the narrative and plot failures#i'm still processing it#but also i feel bad for the cast and crew who didn't have anything to do with the story decisions#they worked really hard and did a great job with what they had#they deserved so much better#they were failed too#tua spoilers

STATION 19 HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!
I am BEGGING every single one of you on this app to help me and the rest of the fans save this show. It has one of the few wlw couples remaining on television for one thing, and for another the cancellation makes no sense.
It is ABC's top show, it outperformed Grey's Anatomy (their other main show), they hired new show runners, they moved to a new studio, it was their top-rated scripted drama, and it pulls in millions of views each week despite the lack of promotion. The cancellation makes no sense, and a lot of us suspect it has to do with the actors and writers being on strike and a deal being struck with Ryan Murphy about 9-1-1, which is hella unfair if you ask me. The two shows can coexist, just like Good Doctor and Grey's Anatomy do.
Not to mention they cut it down from its normal episode count to ten episodes, and they expect to be able to wrap everything up within those ten episodes?! No, no, no!! Maya and Carina (the wlw couple) have finally gotten to a good place and we're about to finally start their journey on having a baby after two seasons of them teasing us and us waiting for it, and they just up and cancel it.
And that's not all. The representation on this show was astounding. They had members of the LGBTQIA+ community, they had dealt with topics like racism, COVID, misogyny, SA, mental health, alcoholism, and so much more. This show is diverse, interesting, and definitely SHOULD NOT be ending after only seven seasons.
Plus, they dropped this on the cast and crew with no warning. As in, they found out only briefly before us fans did. If that isn't shady, I don't know what is. They deserve so much better, and so do we.
So I am asking for your help. I don't care if you are a fan or not, I am pleading and imploring you guys to help. All you have to do is sign. Sign the petition, that's all I'm asking. Please. Please. Please. Much of the cast and crew have signed it, showing they are in favor of saving their show after having this news dropped on them like a bomb.
If you're on twitter, please please please use the #DoNotCancelStation19 and #SaveStation19 and help us save our beloved wee woo show.
Help me, the fandom, the cast, the crew, everyone who loves this show, save it. This cancellation is unjust, and we all deserve so much fucking better than this.
#nineteen#donotcancelstation19#savestation19#unfair cancellation#cast and crew deserve better#the fans deserve better#sign the petition#please please please#please help us save this beloved show#please#i'm begging you#with everything i have#help us save station 19#marina#maya and carina#station 19#maya bishop#carina deluca#andy herrera#travis montgomery#robert sullivan#theo ruiz#victoria hughes#ben warren#jack gibson#natasha ross

I just binged NCIS: Hawai'i and I'm so bitter it got cancelled. This show is so good and deserves at least 8 seasons.
#of course cbs cancelled the first ncis show with a majority non-white cast. woman as the lead. and same sex couple#because they're cheap and decided sydney is worth more because it costs them less#and for origins which no one asked for. i already don't like the idea of that cause#a) they're bound to make something happen that doesn't line up with ncis so it'll be retconning stuff or just make stuff confusing#and b) you can't continue to expand the ncis universe with this show in the past about a character we already know about.#Hawai'i gives us characters whose stories are current and who can impact the present#and i know cbs will never let another network acquire Hawai'i like they did for all rise#they'll never let another network have an ncis show. They want full control over their franchise.#can this show get the swat treatment? no idea. But I hope people and the cast/crew keep fighting for this show.#cause it deserves so much better than ending on what may be a cliffhanger tomorrow and will definitely be unresolved stories for everyone#also the audacity for cbs to have vanessa and the cast out there talking about how much they love being part of the franchise#and how important the show is during that 1000th ep stuff#only to cancel it not long after is just a shit move#use them for promo then axe them#ncis hawaii#ncis hawai'i#cbs#sgx

Can't believe I put down my Kon-El fan design WIP months ago just to start a set of Nightwings and Flamebirds fan designs for Dick, Jason, Bette and Harper.
#None of these are ships btw#Bette deserves better than that#would completely rewrite her as Dick's first sidekick friend#have her pulled away from his life when her Aunt retired#then have her back as Flamebird joining the Titans earnestly instead of having her motivation be following Robin#keep most of her Titan's West run canon#and her time with Kate seems fine#tho these fan designs fit in before Kate and possibly before West#which means sliding Harper and her supporting cast back in the timeline for funsies#'cuz the AU starts when Jason could've left Bruce for the Titans and had a better support network#so now Harper would be older than the YJ'98 crew#which has potential

Me: I don't like Cats the musical. You could not pay me to ever see it live.
Perelman Performing Arts Center: We're doing a version of Cats inspired by ballroom culture!
Me: Ok... that's definitely interesting... I could be into it... but NO still you can't make me want to see it.
PAC: Here's some rehearsal footage of the cast vogueing to Jellicle Ball!
Me: ...I hate that this actually is working... it fits a little too well...
PAC: Also AndrƩ De Shields is playing Old Deuteronomy!
Me: ...Why must satan tempt me in this way...
#by satan i mean alw#i must say generally i have nothing but love for people who perform in cats (minus the movie. or i guess minus like 75% of the movie cast)#when i watched the 98 version i was like 'wow every single person on this stage is a quadruple threat'#since they could all dance and sing and act and do tricks too#and i adore the original costume and make-up design. totally genius. oh and the set design too.#i always just say that the cast and crew deserve a better show#i've even gone as far as to dive into documentaries about the making of cats and stuff. i still just can't get into it.#i know people love it and i love that for them. i too love weird musicals. just not this one unfortunately.#maybe in this new setting for this production i'd enjoy the show more#and boy is it trying to get me to go and see it. truly that vogueing video. i was so mad.#it was like me watching Solo and seeing them fix the kessel run mistake.#i was like 'NO. no. i'm mad. no. i hate that this is fixed. no. i'm so angry.' when i realized how they were fixing it.#like cool this is better but god i'm mad at the fact that this is better#maybe in august or if it extends AGAIN i'll go and see it. but at least for this first month of performances i won't see it#i wouldn't want to feel like i'm taking away a ticket from an actual fan who already loves the show#while i'd be going mostly to see if they can change my mind about the show#(ALSO. i did not tag this as anything. so no coming at me saying i'm putting hate in a tag)#(if this post shows up in searches then that's tumblr's fault for changing how searches and tagged posts work)#(this is barely hate this is just me being mad while complimenting artistic choices. but even if it was hate i'm still not tagging hate.)#(so don't come at me)

bailey bass news just ruined my whole morning and life. james cameron kill yourself recast her avatar character itās literally cgi anyway this is a deliberate setting up of iwtv to fail and targeted violence against television enjoyers replacing a central cast member a season inā¦
#iwtv team push productionā¦ sabotage the avatar green screens set it all aflameā¦ please say sike#š„¬#also thinking about the fate of my future amvs. no continuity this is literally criminal#also miss hayles deserves better than to be a stand-in essentially. i donāt know how the cast and crew even deal with this like messing wit#the creative vision to this extent this is just insane. to me.
