>>216965816Hollywood is a dying empire coasting on its bloat and decadence. Everything has to balloon to unmanageable proportions for no reason.
>>216965857>for no reasonyes goy, (((we))) aren't cashing out and looting the economy before we move on to the next host.
>>216965816Unironically unions
>>216965816Streaming services are filled with uncurated garbage, adverts and by the time you realise that they've already got your buy in. Cable has the ads and a barrier to entry but in order to make good money they need viewer's, viewers vote with their feet so the onous is on them to curate what they show.t. Pirate
>>216965816>a 30min episode of Frasier costs a buck and a half and can be shit out 24x per year, literally always the same set and actors, 3 camera angles, and you milk 1 mildly funny joke/setting per episode.>a massively sprawling netflix slop show takes ages to produce because it has 6 seperate filming locations and the catering crew alone is larger than the staff of most other tv shows combined. also you need to wait 6 months for an army of pajeets to finish CGI in post.woah, its a real mystery
>>216965816Cable was better. Lots of independent companies. each with their own channel. More money from advertising via repeats. Less consolidation. More meritocracy. Less women in management positions. Channel surfing was better for discovery than algorithmic slop. Suck my dick cord cutting faggot predditors. You bet on the wrong horse.
>>216966006Sounds like Netflix should be makes their own Frasier
>>216965930Fuck off back to pol, retard. Jews made the best content. Their loss of control is directly proportional to the dearth of quality.
It's crazy how nowadays the only shows I see that are still capable of putting out 24 episode seasons are anime, and even they no longer have the forever-runners that just get a new episode every week for like 8 years straight like they did in the 2000s/2010s.
>>216966070no you fuck off back to /biz/rael
>>216966006frasier is better though so what's the point
>>216966076I don't think even CSIslop manages real seasons any more, my boomer parents watch them and keep complaining about the long breaks these days
>>216967239>The latest season of CSI shit only had 10 episodesFucking dire.
anybody remember that meme about some made-up surfing vampire show made in the 80s compared to today? A lot of shows are like that now to justify releasing <10 episodes every three years.
>>216966006>a legendary show with great writing and characters is cheap and quick to make>trash is expensive and takes a long time and promotes faggotrythis anon thought xhe had a point
>>216965816tv shows having visual effects on the same level as movies
>>216967383This. Television was synonymous with cheap and efficient.
>>216965816>cableThat was network tv, you witless zoomer.
>>216965816No dependence on ad breaks gave hacks free reign to try and play le deep cinematic experience instead of making something fun and quick.
>>216965816I never watch streaming slop no matter what.
>>216967239I know NCIS it's still going strong with 20 episodes each year, which is only 4 episodes less than it had at its peak. The first 7 or 8 seasons were comfy boomerslop kino.
>>216965857whats going to replace it? twitch and youtube e-celebs?
>>216965816>left>need to maximize ad time>right>already got your money
>>216967760Correct.
>>216967723Campfire stories as we huddle for warmth in the nuclear winter.
>>216965816They put a lot of women in writer’s rooms and women take forever to do anything it can’t be a coincidence.
>>216967760>have to keep putting in effort to keep people watching week after weekvs>only need a strong first episode and a cliffhanger at the end, everything else can and will be shitslop filler
>>216965816I guess the only reason they were able to pump out episodes like that is because they almost always filmed inside a studio with a limited amount of sets. I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it becomes obvious how they cycle through whatever sets they have available over and over again, even if they don't really fit the context of the scene.
>>216967814this is the true interconnectivity that the internet tried to promise us
>>216965930>before we move on to the next host.How are they exactly planning to shapeshift as Chinese?
>>216967628no, OP is right
>>216965816public companies racing to the bottom for pennies of profit instead of delivering a quality product
>>216966006Star Trek TNG put out 26 wildly different, cgi-heavy, miniature-laden episodes for seven years straight. You should hang your head in shame for how fucking stupid you look.
>>21696772314 second vertical videos of zoomers singing and dabbing
>>216965816i saw a program the other day that was just an hour of someone scrolling through tiktok videos, i guess it's the modern version of america's funniest home videos, i think that's about where we're at in terms of effort people are putting into making media these days
Sounds like a wdrama problem. Korea is still putting out 16 episode seasons with hour plus long episodes.
>>21696600624 had Jack Bauer running all over Los Angeles and they still made 24 episodes a year
>>216968698Stop shilling this, Hwang.
>>216968491But back then everything was probably done in-house. They didn't need to outsource anything. You had the guys making the miniatures down the hall, and the guys doing the CGI on the computers upstairs, etc. Nowadays they'll send they won't even bother with miniatures and just outsource the CGI to the lowest bidder so that the producer can pocket the savings.
>>216968491>TNG>cgi-heavyzoomers are so fucking retarded jfc
