    All I listen to now is Hollywood Prospectus. Agree on Firewall and Iceberg. Couldn't stand Fienberg most of the time, but I liked knowing when new shows were debuting and what they thought of ones I liked that were returning. Ryan and Ryan annoy me because it feels like they want to be contrarians just for the sake of it. Plus Ryan McGee just annoyed the hell out of me.

    Yeah. I just got to the point where I was pretty good at figuring out how much I would like the show based how Sepinwall felt and exactly how much whining and what kind of whining Fienberg did about it.

    FYI - Alan was on the lastest Ryan and Ryan. He and Mo talked Top 10 lists. Nothing special, but if your miss Alan in podcast form it's aight.

    If your first season order is cut down isn't that a pretty good indication it's getting canceled? I think I only remember one show not getting canceled after a reduced order ( which I can't remember the name of as I type this).

    It may be out there already. I think it's a re-air. She tweeted more about it. Said it was the OG true-crime series. I assume its a few years old at least.

    Ive been following the TCA's on twitter this week. A lot of the other network execs have their jimmies in a bunch because NF didnt or wont release viewing numbers for their shows. I found that pretty funny. Worry about your own crap network.

    I wonder how much Netflix could inflate those numbers by changing their auto play feature to match Hulu. I am pretty sure my wife would account for 3 viewings of each show the way she falls asleep 3 seconds in.

    Ratings are pretty much irrelevant for the way Netflix does business. Not sure why networks care so much about those numbers.
