Daily Comic Journal: December 6, 2021: "For Its Time, The Most Expensive Show Produced On Television."

For any new readers, or long tme readers who may have forgotten, yes, in the last few years I’ve been recording these old shows to either rewatch (for shows I watched when I was a kid) or watch for the first time (for shows I was either too young or didn’t care about). Many of these shows I’ll either sit down and watch or listen to while drawing. So far: Here’s when I started viewing “Mannix“,…

everything l've ever cried and begged on my hands and knees for would always end up not serving me in the end. but everything I have ever loved, learned, and have essentially grown from came from nowhere... when I didn't expect it at all. and I think that's very beautiful and telling.

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is a revolutionary technology that has changed the way we consume TV entertainment. In the past, cable and satellite TV were the only options for watching television, but now IPTV has become a popular choice for many people. Fame IPTV delivers television content through Internet protocol (IP) networks instead of traditional terrestrial, satellite, or cable television formats. It offers a range of benefits over traditional tvs, such as access to thousands of channels, on-demand content, and the ability to watch TV from anywhere in the world.

"Kevin isn't that bad it's not like he beats her, why does she need to kill him or fake her death, just get divorced" you are the point of the show, you are missing the crucial reveal. Allison sees Kevin in every single scene as she does their last scene together, but we as the audience aren't privy to that and we only see sitcom Kevin which is Kevin's self perception. He is not suddenly becoming scary and threatening to her. He was like that the whole time. We only see Allison's feelings about Kevin and the aftermath of her interactions with Kevin -- this is the ONLY time we see Kevin from her POV except for the brief initial breaking of the sitcom cam. Every other time we see Kevin on screen it's from Kevin's POV. Even after she cuts her hand we only see the bandage in her singular pov when she is away from kevin, but when it shifts back to sitcom Kevin it's gone.... We do not see the reality of her interactions with Kevin, that's the point of the show!!! Because when Kevin is on screen, it's Kevin's world! We only see Kevin from anyone else's lens in ONE scene at the end, which is when Allison decides to leave, so yes the sitcom cam "softens his abuse" but it also just fully acts as an unreliable narration because we never literally see Kevin from anyone else's POV until the series finale so every time Kevin is on screen it isn't even an accurate portrayal of what's happening, it's Kevin's perception of what's happening. Allison has viewed him like that the entire show, we as the audience just did not get to witness that POV until the end

"The Office couldn't air today because the woke left would cancel it!!!"

"House M.D. couldn't air today because people would mob its main character!!!"

"The X-Files couldn't exist today because talking about aliens is too 'controversial'!"

fools, those shows couldn't exist today because streaming services are too cowardly to invest in serialized TV shows with more than 6-8 episodes per season 💀

Daily Comic Journal: September 1, 2022: “Do You Remember When The New Shows Began In September?”

Here are just 14 of the TV Guide Fall Preview issues that I found. It’s pretty fun paging through these old issues to see the shows that premiered and went on to be classics while others vanished with quick cancellation. (BTW, the title of this comic should be read as if sung by Earth, Wind and Fire.)
