Reply to Why Is the ‘Night Court’ Revival Such a Massive Hit? by LynnK0919

Honestly, network television is all about appealing to the older demographic now. So there are endless crime procedurals, multicam sitcoms with audiences - some of which are reboots of old favorites, and sensationalized 'news' shows featuring the murder of the week. All simple products with very little depth. And it's exactly what brings in ratings from those who still watch TV traditionally. It 'moneyballs' Nielsen. CBS cracked the code a few years back and now the other networks have followed suit.

Probably wouldn't expect corporate Walmart to condone something like this, but gotta give huge credit to the management and staff at that local Walmart for doing the right thing and turning a bad situation into something with some kindness and even fun, busting out a few board games.

I don't get the Andor praise at all. Performances were solid, but the plot was about as slow and plodding as a show could possibly be.

I don't mind Star Wars doing something different, and it had some solid moments, but that was kind of a slog to get through overall. Far from 'greatest show of all time' imo.
