i'm like 4 episodes into this absolute kino and it's just making me mad how shit everything is now

>>212749107 (OP)
It's just depressing how low standards are now. It's so refreshing watching an old show and there is a basic competent level of filmmaking. Even the most mundane shows back then carried themselves better than top budgeted shows of today.

Her slutty friend was where it's at.

>>212749179
She was the girl in the People Under the Stairs

>>212749171
it's just weird how much effort was put into everything back then

>>212749587

It's all about how things are shot. As soon as the jump was made into digital and digital post-production everyone just started phoning it in since it can be "fixed in post". Once everyone figured they can halfass it nobody is bringing any effort to things at all.
To cover for that they paradoxically started making everyone look like they have pristine haircuts and clothes. So instead of shit looking lived in and worn it all looks like it's fresh off the rack.

Oh yeah and they fired all the writers during the strike and subsequent purges. Now people that write scripts are interns or studio yesmen just going by whatever bullet points the studio execs give them based on social media metrics. Completely soulless process where noone in particular is in charge of anything.

It's weird because Devon and Devonshire are both the same thing, but the Duke of Devonshire also holds the title of Earl of Devonshire, but he lives near me, which is 300 miles from he's the duke of. It's also funny that they both have Peregrine in their names.

It’s not just that. Sometime in the 00s Hollywood started putting non-defamation clauses in every contract. Meaning you can’t even critique what’s happening on set without risking breach of contract. The resulting forced positivity means you can’t even exert effort because you can’t admit something doesn’t work, can’t prevent mistakes.

On top of everything else Hollywood’s business model has been obsolete for about 20 years and the only reason they haven’t collapsed yet is because they don’t want to admit it. Like the wile e coyote bits where he’s running along in thin air and as long as he doesn’t look down he won’t fall.

it's one of those 90s shows that is more popular now than when it aired so it obviously has something special about it
might as well give it a try but there's no big plot or anything mindblowing about it, it's just a really well made show about a teenage girl and her family and friends in early 90s america

Only problem is these dreams are all tucked away in the minds of millennials who don't have any money, and still don't hold any positions of power or creative control.

One of my first memories of having home internet was going on mscl dot com and reading about the way the writers constantly used food as a way for characters to communicate about love in pretty much every episode and it blew my little teenage mind

Another fun fact about my so called life is the reason the ratings were low is because the only people with Nielsen boxes were geriatrics who had no interest in shows about 90s teens and endured reruns of the golden girls were some of the most profitable things airing.

>>212755664
yeah that's not true at all

>>212755343
>>212755366
You guys just aren't aware of where non-polarized millennials (the majority of millennials are apolitical/politically-cynical centrists), especially those of the creative variety hang out because while they're all online they keep a low online profile.
Trust me though, Escape Simulator custom maps is one place, especially the collabs.

Inability to create in legacy mediums like movies or mainstream video games means most have just absconded to obscure digital spaces, since you can make video game worlds according to your heart's desire.
Podcasts are another digital space that sane millennials and Gen Xers are. None of the mainstream ones so you won't find them without me telling you. And certain blogs and forums too.

Little bro, the current generations (whatever they want to call and reinvent themselves as) change their mind about shit every time they watch the latest tiktok or stream. Their opinion isn't worth shit and it's changing depends on the whims of influencers. All the content they've created thus far has been entirely disposable and has no staying power whatsoever. This will only increase as AI kicks into high gear and the world is flooded with shit content in perpetuity.

>>212755384
is that why rayanne is always hungry?

Wonder if we are ever going to get a "passing of the torch" in the near future
Even normies are getting aware that all of legacy media is pushing some sort of lame social commentary/political activism and it has gotten beyond stale after 15 years of non-stop propaganda
Problem is, tumblr millennials have gotten full control of the creative side of any medium you can think of, tv, movies, comics, video games, etc. and accusing people with fresh ideas of being [buzzwords] to maintain their power has been incredibly effective

I hate watched the show when it aired, on e I realized how crappy it was in desperate hopes it would get better like 90210 did.

Claire's character was a simp, Leto's character was a retarded himbo, and the other two make leads were another simp who dumped for Claire and hated that Claire dumped for Leto, and a mystery meat gay teen.

It infamously has no ending and ironically was entirely puffed up by Entertainment Weekly the same way Party of Five was TV Guide's pet project they shilled.

I don't even know what you guys are coping/talking about.
My point is, the ethos of the '80s and '90s are still very much alive in the minds of Gen Xers and millennials.
They disproportionately populate certain digital spaces.
Private piracy forums are another where they hang out.
Who else would be as obsessed in archiving/digitizing the Sesame Street backlogs or children's books from the '60s-'90s?
But it's ok if you disagree, only a millennial will recognize and appreciate another's values anyway.
>>212756270
Probably only has producers in currently existing legacy media. Like a Roddenberry-type figure who provides a central vision, but not as the sole executor.
But if a new free and open medium is created, then they'll all suddenly come rushing back.
Public access TV, early youtube, etc.
But yea the lowest barrier of entry right now are video game custom maps.
Also a lot of millennials are retreating from the internet altogether, and going back to local clubs, books, irl hobbies.

>>212756688

How do you not know what legacy media is. Now I know you're a zoomer.
Physically published books, radio, broadcast television, and digitally distributed movies/tv shows that involve people physically pitching an idea to a producer/execs are examples of legacy media.
Open, self-publishing spaces are non-legacy media where 99% of millennial creatives upload their work. Most of the internet.

>>212757029
Oh and much of the internet is also becoming legacy media as they're increasingly controlled by a smaller handful of companies.
Often what separates legacy media from new media is the share of it under the control of conglomerates or a small handful of people:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_media
And conversely a lot of the old media spaces where conglomerates have relinquished control due to lack of profits have or will be resettled by millennials, like books.

>>212756688
I wasnt being facetious. I think its cool that millennial artists/neutrals have found these secret internet projects. And yah, I would be surprised if millennial take the lead in the great internet depopulation.

>>212757029
A: you’re talking to someone older than you
B: “legacy media” would be media that left a legacy, not entire forms of media. Friends is legacy media because its legacy continues. Same with the office. Shit that’s two sitcoms… but I can’t really think of media that has maintained appreciation levels. No, the sopranos doesn’t count. The most viewed media on streaming platforms is old sitcoms.

You're older than me, on a /tv/ board, and you've never heard of the term of art "legacy media".
Okay boomer.
Media is the plural of medium. We're not talking about specific shows but the MEDIUM aka the distribution method.
The crux is whether the distribution method is centralized or decentralized.
Syndicated TV shows like you mentioned are entirely centralized. The companies fund and own the property, not the creators.
Legacy media is centralized. Non-legacy media is decentralized, for instance someone uploading their artwork to deviantArt but retaining full ownership of their artwork is an example of new media.
The internet as a whole used to be decentralized and so could as a whole be considered new media, but now that a handful of companies own the majority of websites hosts, digital distribution methods, and social media the internet itself has become a centralized legacy medium.
Millennials exist in niches and the periphery.

Some zoomers too. You're going to think I'm bullshitting and that's fine because I wouldn't believe it either, but I have a nephew in high school and a bunch of guys at his school started talking to each other on CB radios last year. Just because it's kind of weird and different.

>>212757790
Old things that leave legacies are rare, rajeet.

>>212758233
Thats so fucking cool. And it kinda makes sense. Millenials flocked to the internet because it was different, weird, and rebellious(?)/secret. Now its the most popular medium, it makes sense for people to move away from it. I wont be surprised if written letters make a comeback. More private than anything online.

the long and short of his mostly ignorant rambling is that "new media" doesn't' need to be better than the best of what he means to call "old media," but just better than the worst, which is not a high bar. The problem with his arguments is that media that has actually left a legacy is still appreciated by the younger generations.

Seeing Milennials trying to claim "90s culture" is one of the msot annoying and deeply engrained tendencies of that generation. Gen-X were teens and 20 somethings in that decade and defined the youth culture of it. It's like Zoomers that try to claim the early 00s when that was the time of the Milennials and we were little kids.

I get the feeling music clearances were cheaper back in the day as they didn't have to secure clearances for video/streaming/whatever.

Though it leads to some older shows being unwatchable as the syndicated version removes the licensed music and replaces it with horseshit muzak. WKRP in Cincinatti is notorious for this.

>>212754883
Its because it was a partnership between United Television and Paramount. Each partner supplied half the shows and one of them was going after the black audience Fox had abandoned while the other one was trying to be a Spike TV prototype.

>mad about you

now that is an actual example of a random 90s show, because its completely forgotten.

We've already had the passing of the torch. All the SJW/DEI shit is from GenX getting phased out of the writer's room for millenials.

>Before they were televised.
>Thinking the television awards weren't televised.

Holy fuck Zoomers are retarded. TV networks loved running awards shows because they were dirt cheap to produce and got huge ratings.

Why would a con artist who only cares about bilking money and being a pawn of the Heritage Foundation care about any of that?

Kim Jong Un could also dissolve North Korea and unify it with South Korea, but that's never gonna happen.

I mostly remember it as the show you had to sit through before Friends.

yeah, that's a different buffalo tom song on the cd

AI is terrible
Creative people don't need it and it doesn't offset the bad taste of plebs
It's the same argument that iphones were going to lead to a filmmaking renaissance - "We're knocking down barriers!" - turns out there is no undiscovered reservoir of pleb talent

Accepting your (retarded) premise: because he'd be taking money and power from his enemies, which he could give to his friends

gonna quote this back at you in a year or two

jews really gushed over this trash at the time, it was the sopranos of it's day

>>212765482
Please do
Bear in mind that AI's been around for years, and so have cameraphones, ProTools, drum machines...
The argument is already over and I already won - but sure, just me wait, this time it'll be different, this time technology will uncork the very-well-hidden creativity of nerds and plebs

You're a moron and there's no point in communicating with you.
I feel sorry for people that can't imagine and extrapolate future events.
I bet watching a chess game is like magic to you and you get shocked and surprised every time you watch a blockbuster movie.
Can you even imagine what might happen tomorrow? Or does the future simply not exist for you?

It was far more popular than expected and was going to be renewed, it was cancelled because Danes didn't want to do it. They thought about doing it without her but realised it was pointless.

>>212753544
>it was never a hit and only became a cult classic once the internet took off
>jfc zoomers have no concept of what the world was like pre-social media
And it had a huge letter writing campaign in response to not renewing, you have literally no idea what you are talking about, you're just making shit up based on nothing and somehow think you're informed

>>212752476
Fucking hell

>It was far more popular than expected
no, it literally wasn't, the ratings are all online, you can look at them
>They thought about doing it without her but realised it was pointless.
no, they didn't, she was contracted and didn't have the power to walk out, but the showrunner loved her and claire not wanting to do it killed her enthusiasm for a second season, even holtzman admits the network just used danes wanting out as an excuse because the ratings just weren't good enough to support it
>And it had a huge letter writing campaign in response to not renewing
no, it didn't, it had a letter writing campaign, not a huge one
i'm so bored of zoomers reading a fucking wiki page and being too retarded to understand what it says and coming out with all this bullshit
how fucking pathetic is your life that you need to larp as a millennial?

>>212760716
>Where are the podcasts that evince any creativity at all?
There's too many to count. The podcast world actually experienced multiple creative wellsprings since their initial popularity, but they all sort of burnt and fizzled out.
The revival of radio drama was one such revolution. Sites like radio drama revival, the sonic society etc, audiodramatalk (before it closed down), compiled no fewer than a hundred different radio drama theatre companies of people (mainly boomers but a lot of gen X and millennials too) reviving and continuing the legacy of the golden age of radio drama or Old Time Radio (OTR, 1920s to 1950s), horror, scifi, and mystery shows.
Only nonwhite, nonmillennial people like that other guy larping as older than me don't know about OTR, A Prairie Home Companion, etc. You have groups that release original fiction in non-radio drama format too like Escape Artists, The District of Wonders, and Drabblecast.
And a lot of podcasts where Gen Xers and millennials reminisce about the '80s and '90s in between their podcast topics.

You have no idea what you're talking about, but you're not white or a millennial, caught up on basic terms like "legacy media" literally everyone except tech-illiterate ESLs would understand (another widely used term is legacy formats which denotes formats that are essentially deprecated, so even a passing understanding of technology that every millennial would have would know what is meant by that) so I'm not going to bother educating you. No one uses the term "old media" you ficking idiot because it's non-specific and can be conflated to mean "media that is old" which is not the definition. You brought this buklying on yourself, jeetgramps. Maybe stick to the hindi side of the internet next time and stop larping.

This thread sucks now.

>>212766517
>You're a moron and there's no point in communicating with you.
Why did you write four more sentences
>Can you even imagine what might happen tomorrow? Or does the future simply not exist for you?
Does the past exist for you? Did you even understand what I wrote?
Or are you just a moron, and there's no point in communicating with you?

Not sure I follow your point. Just because I can download the Jack Benny show doesn't mean there are good podcasts; my point is, where is the modern Jack Benny show? Where are the people who might have liked to write and act on television or radio, but who, being boxed out for one reason or another, turn to the internet and unleash their tremendous creativity?
Name one good radio sitcom produced independently in the last five years
