The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨SPOILERS🚨)

[hopefuldreamer]

This cast seems to hang out offset more than usual. Some obviously good vibes there. More reason I'm looking forward to the press tour so much.

Hell yeah, that's going to be so much fun 😁

I believe she was thinking of TJ Miller or Thomas Middleditch. Separate from their allegations, there was also one actress on that show who said pretty much the entire male cast were horrible to work with, including Kumail, but she didn’t mention anything like harassment or sexual misconduct in that claim. Sounds like she was just saying they were a-holes.

Not surprising...the show was pretty mediocre so why shouldn't they be?

Pretty much most of the cast are not good people...

Rachel mentioned on the post that they were sent by WB, so I wonder if they went to film something for the press tour related to the Olympics?

Not the Jason Ralph erasure.

David is auditioning for a blow up doll.

David is auditioning for a blow up doll.

That’s inappropriate.


But yes, I thought the same thing.

 

[Sawyer]

Not surprising. It's Mike Judge. Dude's a lesser Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Said no one ever.

King of the Hill and Idiocracy. I'm indifferent to Beavis and Butthead.

Office Space is better than anything those two have done.

 

[routhman]

Is no one going to mention the eyebrows!

It arguably got people interested in cable TV.

Ummm. People watched cable tv for a very long time prior to that show airing.

Not to that extent. Cable TV was mostly for boxing.

I’m sorry. We must have completely different recollections about the 1980’s and 1990’s.
I don’t want to make assumptions about your age, but as someone who grew up in the 80s and graduated high school in early 90s, I have to say that your assertion about cable is not at all in line with what I experienced or saw. Not at all.

MTV changed television in the 80s and 90s. I’d say that during that time, if you went to a teenager’s house at any given time of the day, there was a better than 70% chance that MYV was playing.
HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, TMC. These changed television because people like me watched Side Out and The Burbs three times a week. It really changed how we viewed movies.
ESPN changed the game for sports. Guys like Deion Sanders and Michael Jordan owe a lot of their popularity to ESPN. Beginning early 90s, Sportscenter became must see tv for any sports fan.
Heck, even wrestling became the global fixture that it is because of cable. Before WWF went on USA network and WCW went on TBS, wrestling was solely territorial. Cable allowed it to be a national programming staple.

South Park didn’t start airing until late 90s. Cable tv was a fixture waaayyyy before that. And as much as I loved Thursday Night Fights on USA, or HBO boxing, those had very little to do with cable tv’s popularity.

 

[dhandler01]

South Park literally changed television. It arguably got people interested in cable TV. Otherwise, other cable channels like HBO wouldn't be the powerhouse it is today.


Better than this?

Yes Book of Mormon is vastly overrated.

Ummm...no.

This is 100% the truth. South Park changed Comedy Central post merger of the comedy networks but overall cable? Nope plenty of networks changed things before South Park.

All of this, and I’ll give a slightly younger perspective as well, as someone born in the mid-80’s and grew up mainly in the 90’s: Nickelodeon was also a huge cable success story before South Park hit the scene. And yeah, MTV was dominating that whole time. Even VH1 for a while!

Rachel is so short. 🤣

I would literally tower her.

And this gives you self gratification?. Do you feel less small and insignificant mentally to know that you're taller than someone else?. Does this give you the power you crave, that in your normal life you do not have?. Does it fill the gaping hole of insecurities that sometimes wake you from your sleep in a dank cold sweat, not knowing if life is worth living anymore?
