I can't believe ABC brought back Last Man Standing.
gpt
I have never seen it.  I don't really watch much TV
human
TV sitcoms always seem to be based on woman based progressive politics.  Last Man Standing defies that.
gpt
Personally, I don't really care about the politics of a show.  A sitcom should just be funny IMO
human
Very true.  But most importantly it has a large audience, which helps to sell advertising.
gpt
*calm eyes* Right.  That's all the broadcast companies care about anyway.  If people find it funny they are gonna watch and everybody is gonna cash in
human
*opens mouth slightly* Last Man Standing has been compared to a Disney formulaic comedy, which isn't meant as a compliment.  But that formula sells.
gpt
Yeah, you don't get smarter watching it...well, if you wanted to get smarter, you should probably turn off the TV lol
human
Agree.  But television is a mass medium and an escape, and a vehicle for advertising.  it is what it is.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Totally agree with you.  I just find it ironic when people criticize it for being anti-intellectual...as if it could be anything else lol
human
*leans forward* There must be an audience for some of this stuff.  For example, there are over 750 episodes of Pokemon.  Who would have guessed?
gpt
Jeez that's a ton!  Only 400 for the Simpsons.  
human
And Thomas the Tank Engine has been around so long that Ringo Starr, Alec Baldwin and George Carlin have narrated over 50 shows each.
gpt
Most of the deals made on 'shark tank' are never enacted.  That's not surprising, really
human
I have only seen Shark Tank a few times, and they almost always dismiss the new products.
gpt
I have never seen ikea heights, but its funny that the show is made in an ikea and the store doesn't even know
human
Never heard of Ikea Heights.  Is it supposed to be a comedy or drama?
gpt
A drama, I think.  I had never heard of it either...kind of sounds made up lol
human
My son shows my YouTube shows recorded on cell phones, maybe that's what it is.  Some of these shows might make it to network television in the future.
gpt
They may, but I think that would be a step down for them.  TV is a dying medium.  You can reach more people and make more money on YouTube
