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.

I'm just remembering how American fans would shrug off British fans who didn't want to be spoilered for the TV series that the Brits were watching a week or two behind the Americans.

"Oh just stay off the internet til you've caught up with us."

"Stay away from fannish sites".

"Anyone who is really interested in the show will have found a way to watch the latest episode within 24 hours of first broadcast, it's too boring to have to put 'spoiler warning' for an episode that was broadcast, like, a week ago?"

And then a couple of times - Torchwood, which was shown on the BBC in the UK ahead of being shown in the US: that time a writers' strike in the US meant that at one point UK television was a week ahead of the US broadcast schedule - suddenly the fannish sites would be full of American fans imploring British fans "Hey don't spoiler us" "PLEASE don't spoiler us" "PLEASE PUT A SPOILER WARNING ON YOUR POST"....

It was a curiously perfect little example of American imperialism leading to USian privilege.

You might argue, it wasn't necessarily the same people cavalierly dismissing Brits who didn't want to be spoilered versus teary-eyed begging not to be spoilered themselves. I have no idea: I didn't track this phenomenon in that much detail. And now of course, the advent of binge-watching means there's hardly been a show I've worried about being spoilered for probably since House MD finale'd.

"succession sundays was a blast on here" "we used to have real television" it ended last year?????????

"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

Daily Comic Journal: August 15, 2022: "The End Of A Unicorn Series, Part Prequel, Part Sequel"

I’ve talked about watching and enjoying “Better Call Saul” and “Breaking Bad” in these comics before. That may say just how good these shows are (or maybe that I’ve been drawing these comics for a long time). Even though this series was connected with “Breaking Bad” a viewer who’s never watched BB could watch “Better Call Saul” and enjoy it as a stand alone show. Previous comics talking about…
