TV shows that make you ask "who is watching this? And who is the intended audience?"
>>219739904Anime
>>219739904Isn't Jennifer (I) Love Hugetits on this?
>>219739951But that's pretty obvious, the Japanese...aka, Pedophiles
cop, lawyer, doctor shows are the bread and butter of tv you dip.people will always watch them
This entire trilogy of showsThey're going for seasons 15, 14, and 12 this year Who is watching these things?
>>219740750only bored middle aged housewives watch medslop
>>219740891>>219740758exactly, they are just slightly higher budget soap operas also cops, lawyers, and doctors face conflict all the time which makes for good story telling
>>219740891Not true, sometimes the husbands get forced to watch it too Listen I can stomach cop shows and firefighter shows because at least there's something to break up the soap opera shit, but med shows? Unless it's Doogie Howser I say fuck you
Boomers will watch anything you put on broadcast tv.
>>219740758Hey fuck you, Chicago Fire is fantastic, at least whenever my nigga Herrman is around
>>219741055>slightly higher budget soap operasThe only good soap operas to exist are Dallas and Dark Shadows
>>219739904I read all the spoilers to this show and it got very retarded very quickly
>>219741264Same with Gen X, but the difference is Gen X literally hate anything that isn't their proceduralslop
>>219740891Well yeah, if you've ever watched clips from one all the shows are about is romance and who's fucking who. Wine Moms eat that shit upCharmed lasted eight seasons for a reason.
>>219741055Almost all doctor shows revolve around who's sleeping with who, that shit gets tiresome.
>>219740758I like Chicago Med for the fat psychiatrist, oh and the bit where the British chick kills herself because the guy who's dad she fucked won't take her back because he found out she killed his dad, whom she fucked, that was based of the writers
>>219741806Typical CW show that needs relationship drama in every episode even among happy couples.
>>219742094It's funny because every time I think of network procedural TV, I remember that The Walking Dead was pitched to NBC, who wanted it instead to be a buddy cop Dramedy where Rick & Shane investigate Zombie crimes in each episode, for some reason they thought this was reasonable of a change for them to ask.I also remember that the show Grimm only ever got greenlit because they agreed to make it a cop show when the original pitch was a way darker vigilante story. Because I guess a world where monsters exist is too high concept for NBC suits.Networks have a weird relationship with genre TV
>>219740758I've been watching Med for years.
>>219739904It's for old people I'm guessing. The same audience that watches shit like NCIS
>>219740750This
9-1-1 is actually pretty kinoThe producers and writers have some of the craziest fun with it by coming up with the most ridiculous emergencies and situations like a tsunami hitting LA to a literal beenado to a cruise ship capsizing. They go ham with this show despite all the woke shit it manages to be pretty entertaining because of the wild emergencies they have
>>219743450I remember that CBS positively forbade the producers of Person of Interest from advertising it as a science fiction show, they preferred the term "Techno Crime Thriller" and it being a cop show was likely an edict from them because that's all CBS seems interested in.
>>219743970I don't know where they come up with this shit but there's also literally a scene where they need to rescue a girl who stuck her head in an exhaust pipe because she wanted to show off that it would fit. There might be a whole truth is stranger than fiction going on with the emergencies in this show and where they got the influences and ideas from.
>>219744225>Techno Crime ThrillerWhat does that even mean?
>>219744295>where they need to rescue a girl who stuck her head in an exhaust pipe because she wanted to show off that it would fit.There are people dumb enough to try, especially if you live in rural areas where people get bored easily
>>219743450A story I heard from a con where the story was relayed that Eric Kripke pitched Supernatural to CBS, and they strongly preferred the dad be the protagonist instead (for whatever reason) but that he'd be a small-town sheriff who just happens to stumble upon strange crimes
>>219743970>literal beenadowat
>>219746003Tornado but with bees
>>219741806It can be retarded fun if you turn your brain off.
>>219742943None of the relationships are happy in this show, even the gay one
>>219748159This guy gets it
>>219741562Hermann and mouch carry this entire show on their shoulders.>>219743970Currently watching the space season and I'm really starting to dislike the cop and the paramedic.
>>219741562it went downhill once they decided to randomly make Kidd black after being on the show for like 5 years and added the gay nigger to the cast
>>219751181Unfortunately the show feels declining now but it's probably due to the death of the best character Bobby
>>219751181If Chicago Fire was a sitcom starring those two, and the Chief as the straight man we'd be talking about it quite differently
>>219739904old people.your nan probably watches it.
>>219742906>SpoilerI'm sorry what?
>>219751294isn't it set in chicago everyone should be niggers
Every first responder/cop show angle has been done to death, so where can you even go with the genre? Apparently 9-1-1's answer to that was make everyone a fag/dyke and make the show about their fag/dyke drama instead of their jobs.
>>219751294Does the actress herself have a black parent?Because that happens in IdPol circles, mixed people get automatically lumped in as black even if they're mixed. Miles Morales for example is half-Puerto Rican but that gets left out and people act like he's actually just strictly black, they seem to think black genes just erase the other half of the racial mix.
>>219751633It's set in an alternate universe where there's still crackers in Chicago
>>219751639They wrote out most of the fags and the only dyke remaining is Hen and Karen except for the random every now and then because it's modern LA. They're not even pushing Eddie and Buck because Eddie is straight as an arrow and Buck is bi
>>219740758I know Fire has a Hapa paramedic and I really wanna fuck her
>>219743450
>>219743450>instead to be a buddy cop Dramedy where Rick & Shane investigate Zombie crimesSounds better than what we got
This show shares a universe with Dick Wolf's other shows and there's several Law & Order and Chicago actors in starring roles which is so strange to me.
>>219751913So what's the full context here?
>>219739904boomers who will watch any slop on tv as long as its consistent
>>219752154Consistent sounds like code for regardless if it's good or not
>>219751507>It's a Hermann, Boden, and Mouch get on the wrong flight and wind up in France instead of Florida episode >It's a Hermann and Mouch go road tripping episode >It's a Hermann and Mouch try and fail to kill a mouse in the bar or firehouse episode
>>219752245Yup, they don't care if its good or bad as long as it sticks to its formula
>>219752132It's a quote from Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon. You might jave heard of the movie by Paul Thomas Anderson that's based on it. It's not very good. The protagonist's a private detective and a hippie. And does take it personally when someone later on in the atory asks him whether in working as a PI, he isn't just a cop in denial.Pynchon also brings this up in Vineland. How they've been using TV to convince people the police is on their side.
>>219752154>consistentWhat does that even mean?
>>219752400Sticks to a predictable formula
>>219743450>the original pitch was a way darker vigilante story.So why change it? Grimm as it is is pretty fucking cookie cutter and boring
>>219739904npcs, housewives and people who are bored and have too much free time i watched a couple of shows like those for like a season or two, all of them are almost the same, same formula, same drama, same jokes, same shit etc
>>219739904Landman. I dont understand why /tv/ watches this or who is suppose to be watching it
>>219752668All I know is Landman gave me the gift of Ali Larter acting like a skanky cougar and that's pretty cool to me I'm convinced Taylor Sheridan has a fetish for trashy girls and cougars because it's happens constantly in his shows
>>219752400Predictable formula of>There's a crime>Usually murder, sometimes robbery or kidnapping if they feel like spicing it up>Cops/Agents investigate the crime >Bad guy gets caught >Everything is right with the world again, unless they wanna be tragic in an episode here and there but the defeat doesn't really affect the characters Notice in these cop shows there's usually no overarching villain or Big Bad, it's only an occasional thing. Instead there's recurring villains from time to time
>>219752772Beth's pussy must be fucking God-tier for Rip to put up with her bullshit all the fucking time
>>219739904NCIS, it's outlived every other show on that channel and it's own spinoffsAlso fun fact but Heaven is canon in that show, so is possibly the Angel of Death
>>219753369It's dirt cheap to produce, that's why, your average NCIS episode costs about $1 million to make, that's chump change
The Resident Evil show Netflix did a few years back, if you wanted to do a show with Albert Wesker as the villain protagonist then that'd be something worth watching. Why they needed to instead forcibly insert teen drama shit into it I cannot explain since teenage girls don't like zombies.Most TD shows with horror in them focus on vampires, werewolves or demons. So they really didn't think it through
This comes on all the time during my workout due to my wonky schedule, I cannot for the life of me understand who actually watches this slop. Everything is random ass vagueposting by a criminal with no motive, followed by internal pretentious internal team drama, then a 5 minute at the end "heh it was so obvious who the criminal is and how he was hiding in that random shack!"The badguys are always laughably comic book villain-esue shit that comes off as some edgy white girl making a murder mystery. I don't think I've ever seen an episode with a villian that isn't found out by someone who just read a copy of the script.
>>219754014The creator of the show is noted fag Jeff Davis who is an edgy white girl in the body of a gay adult man
>>219739904MTV seriously thought to make an action drama out of an 80s comedy, it got six seasons and a movie, yet it's objectively shit
>>219739904I'm sure it's not any worse than the current crop of "prestige television".
>>219739904I only vaguely remember watching like an episode of this and the Roswell remake I remember they needed to make those so heavily about social justice
>>219754106ah that makes a lot more sense then, since I don't watch it consistently I thought maybe I was missing something but alright. Sucks because some of the premises the show has is kinda neat then it just turns into cartoony 3high-IQ-5u slop that they just magically figure it out because the bad guy littered on a street corner which killed a puppy and was tagged in social media who is on video telling them his manifesto. Figured I was missing something between reps when I'd not pay attention and sat down to watch one episode where they had george from seinfeld show up to be the baddy and couldn't believe this slop was on the air.
>>219754202>"Prestige" show>Two characters talking in a field somewhere >Spout pseudophilosophical nonsense to each other>There's a heavy use of "Fuck" "Shit" and "Goddamn" in-between >Critics (and Reddit) cream themselves over this What's exactly prestigious about all this?
>>219740891I watched some of I remember right french med comedy and got really disappointed in the first episode where they had a haha they ended up having to sleep in the same bed and in the morning it looked like they had fucked joke but then actually that wasn't the joke at all, the joke is they did fuck despite the setup for that making no sense.
>>219740758The worst thing was Chicago PD had some amazing early episodes and some quality bad cop episodes. I gave up when they were like "straight white males coded this software so it marks black people as criminals in error!"
>>219740758PD used to have some prime hotties in the female cast, I was sad when Erin left but I made due Temu Scarjo then she left, and neither of the current girls are fuckable lookingNone of the Med girls were attractive either
>>219743450>high conceptI'm seeing this term being abused way too much recently
>>219754014I liked this as a kid but I think only because I didn't see it oftenLooking back I feel like sometimes the psychs don't even really do anything, the villain just shows up suddenly in front of them
>>219754342PD also expects me to be scared of a 5'9 manlet in his 60s like he's going to kill me, lol, lmao even.At least Michael Chiklis in The Shield, while also a manlet, was bulky
>>219754428I think he's using the term sarcastically
>>219743450Gotham was pitched to Fox as a cop procedural where the only comic book stuff would be the GCPD detectives, the murder of the Waynes, and Gotham City itself because Bruno Heller was convinced that was the only way it'd get greenlit.Of course this was all a rouse and Heller got to make a show about Gotham and how bad it was before Batman instead
>>219754437The funniest thing was that as the show went on there were criminals and villains who would practically call the cops or drive to the person looking for them just be be caught. I vaguely remember watching an episode where the team took to long to find him or something so he just turned himself in because lack of attention.
>>219739904I saw an ad for this, I thought this looked fun actually but it needed to be a cinematic universe. What would be sick is what if a channel made every department In Universe. So Chicago Fire, The Pitt, Blue Bloods and Disaster Team (made that up) maybe NCIS for ocean and navy stuff. They would talk to each other and work together and mix together. So you would watch them all. Yes these aren't on the same network but fuck it I am not a boomer. I am just saying a Disaster Universe could be awesome.
>>219754987Throw in Supernatural for killers that aren't human and all the first responders and stuff find the brothers wild cards at best and you've got a deal
>>219754987>Blue BloodsSome cool first seasons followed by turning into sloppa
>>219739904my 70 year old mom watches this. I've tried to get her into better media, but she watches shit like this, joe kenda, ncis, hudson and rex, and whatever jerry springer ripoff she can find. Its boomer slop and they love it. 911 is the worst though since it makes so many dumb stories up and my mom will be like, omg bees can come together and fly around in a huge swarm its so scary! or Oh wow this one guy got rebar through the middle of his head in a car accident and he survived!
>>219755025>Supernatural>Robby hesitates killing himself not because he's afraid of there being nothing after death, but that he might come back as an incredibly angry ghost >Gibbs doesn't mind Sam and Dean, in fact he finds them useful when something like a Wendigo or some shit is eating Marines doing drills in the woods, that and he probably knew their dad and all
>>219755207>got rebar through the middle of his head in a car accident and he survived!That has happened IRL, so has people surviving impalement. Rare but it happens.The human body is actually way more durable than we give it credit for so is the will to live
>>219739904Will Trent
>somehow popular enough to run for 15 years >audience seemingly exists in another dimension and never discussed the show on our internet Though I suppose this probably applies to a lot of modern reality TV, it's made for the elderly and NPC cattle who have no thoughts about anything
>>219739904What a terrible name for a show, it reminds me of that tragedy
>>219755968My dad watched that shit, then again he was a literal boomer (born in '46) so that might have something to do with it.He also used to use racial slurs to describe the guys the sisters dated, never once used the term black, most PC term he used was colored
>>219755968Genuinely what is there even to discuss? The show is incredibly boring if your IQ is above room temperature.>Kim bought a designer handbag last episode>Will she buy designer shoes next episode?
>>219752772>stole the monopoly on dope and pussy from samcro
>>219754493Voight is scary because he's a psycho with police power who has committed several murders and covered-up many more.
How long until they bring Bobby back as either a zombie or lab mutant
>>219755247Robby doesn't strike me as the kinda person to stay behind and become a ghost, he'd go with his Reaper I think
>>219739904Watched an episode each of this and the tx one when they did the volcano and earthquake and decided I didn't need to watch any more.>>219744295>There might be a whole truth is stranger than fiction going on with the emergencies in this show and where they got the influences and ideas fromThey used to do this with House. A lot of their cases I read about in Discover magazine before the fact.
>>219739904What would this 911 show look like if Godzilla suddenly showed up? Like for an arc where he's rampaging through LA
>>219739951FPBP
>>219756810Probably typical I mean it is farfetched but not too far off their own shenanigans
>>219756810Buck and Eddie try to ram into him with an ambulance, it does nothing but piss off the mutant dinosaur even more...
>>219740750911 is not a good edition of that though, it’s like a retard child’s idea of a cop show come to life. The writing is somehow worse than every other Ryan Murphy project and he’s had 9 bombs in 2 years.The people unironically watching this and it’s spin off show are genuine human cattle that cannot comprehend a show like the The Wire. NCIS never stooped as low as 911 consistently digs, the show is nonsense for retards with emotional music to tell you how to feel.
>>219756810Is it just him or is he fighting Ghidorah or some shit?
>>219757016All's Fair is getting a second season and it's basically a spinster revenge fantasy, he makes crime enthusiasts seethe for making serial killers "sexy" too
>>219739904S.W.A.T. the one with the jogger from Criminal Minds, this show is literally the most bottom of the barrel slop imaginable. The original show isn't some masterpiece but the 2003 movie is the best version of this supposed franchise
>>219751507But would everyone else still be there or would they be supporting characters
>>219740758>Main character of the Firefighter show is named KellyWhy would you give your main character such a faggot name?
>>219755968I'm reminded of an old shower thoughts post from reddit where someone said "The Kardashians turned Scott into an alcoholic, Lamar into a crackhead, and Bruce into a woman, so what will they do to Kanye?"I do not think we could've ever predicted how it actually turned out
>>219756810>>219756982Then zombie super infected bobby comes back and starts 1v1ing it
>>219756151Your dad is a fag
>>219755207Your mom is a retard, anon
>>219757016Lone Star was worse they had an actual FTM tranny
>>219756356He's 5'9 and in his 60s, I think I'd take my chances
>>219756262Gemma is trashy and a skank but she's not sexually appealing
>>219740758PD was kino up until Erin leaves, it's just not the same without her, then they lose based Al & the also based Antonio, and try to make Hayley into Erin 2.0 and that was awful
>>219739904SVU went full hard leftist social justice last I checked a few years ago and all the bad guys were white men. Is it still on the leftist soapbox?
>>219755207>>219755451https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage
>>219759545Yeah this guy here
>>219752659>same dramaAka, who's sleeping with who
>>219752108Wolf likes to reuse actors who he's worker with regardless if most of his shows exist in the same continuity
>>219757921He has to grow 100 meteres tall first
Most cop shows I can understand, lawyer shows though is different because I know for a fact lawyers are scumfucks irl and nobody likes them
>>219739904does this show actually realistic 911 situations who include niggers who want a ride to the hospital, or refuse to cooperate when asked to do a simple task?
>>219739904My wife watches this garbage and it's literally just leftist propaganda.>every good character is a fag, a nigger, or both>every bad character is a heterosexual white man
>>219761601Bobby Nash was a good character and wasn't either.
>>219762295Bobby got to plap black coochie, that's pretty fuckin cool if you ask me
>>2197399049-1-1 is for kinoisseurs>>219740758Chicago P.D. is kino
>>219762830What are some of the most kino scenes?
>>219762830Until they try to turn Upton into Erin 2.0
>>219756194On further inspection, it turns out there is an r/kardashians subreddit with over 300k monthly visitors. So it somehow does get discussed, though I had never encountered any of it before
>>219755207Joe Kenda's shows are some of the more tolerable true crime slop. My ex made me watch those kinds of shows all the time and his are the only ones that sort of kept my attention.
>>219739904>CEO gets eaten by a literal whale>Fire department has to get the whale to vomit him back up by duct taping a traffic cone to the end of a fire hose then putting the hose in the sea, and somehow this creates water pulses that make the whale sick>bald nigger lesbian has to give the ceo CPR>CEO sends her to space with a teenager and a boomer>they get hit with space debris and go in to an uncontrolled spin>no one passes out, instead they just quite literally unplug it and plug it back in>it fixes the spin but now the kid has a random heart attack>sheboon has to slam her fists in to his chest repeatedly like she's having a chimp out, otherwise the cpr wouldn't work in space for whatever reason>kid lives and makes a quip about space rescue teams>then the pod catches fire, and the fire flows in slow mo, as if you were to drop a single drip of food coloring in to a glass of water and watch it disperse>the fire goes in such slow motion that they have time to put on space suits and vent the atmosphere of the pod in to space, and no one gets sucked out due to rapid depressurization, nor does the pod rapidly accelerate from them literally opening the top hatch as if it were some sort of fucking submarine hatch>they see a dead astronaut floating outside the ISS who looks like a fucking decayed mummy. In space.>they take the ISS escape pod to earth and the carrington 2.0 event ends, and the kessler effect it caused magically just stops, despite the entire city being bombarded with satellites crashing down to earth and all the catastrophic space debris just goes awayI wish I were making any of this up. And as bad as this sounds, it's even worse in the show.>>219761558No. It's firefighters having to CQC malfunctioning surgery robots trying to shank them with scalpels, and dumb bitches having to have their friends call 911 because she put her entire phone sideways in to her mouth, and it got stuck.
