I'll cop shit for this, but The Bear.

Observe that people want beef subs, that beef subs are good, and what needs to improve is the restaurant management and staff stability. You can still innovate with sandwiches and pastries, you don't need to convert to a fancy restaurant and charge stupid prices for a different daily menu.

What they did in The Bear by converting to a fancy restaurant and alienating their customers was the most boneheaded business move one could possibly conceive of and I despise Lip for squandering mikeys money like that.

Znation. And it was glorious

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Z Nation was filmed around where I was living and going to school!. It was a lot of fun "omg I know that building that's where I stole a cool looking book, that's the field I'd hang out in for lunch" but with zombies and whatever other insanity they had going on. One of my neighbors was a hairdresser for them too and wanted to buy my hair off me if I ever cut it but sadly the show ended before I did. One of my life regrets I didn't just offer up my hair on the spot it could have been famous

...but in a good way. That's what I'd like to hear about.

(edit: Dr Who would appear to be one such example)

Battlestar Galactica, the potential cancellation made some whacky shit happen

[–] dkppunk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I agree and this one made me really sad, that show was so good. The turn that Battlestar Galactica took was caused by the writers strike back in the day. That strike unfortunately impacted a lot of good shows (Heroes was another one) and pushed reality TV onto us because no writers were required for a script. IMO, it had a pretty severe negative impact on what and how we watch things today. It was a crappy time for tv.

I still stand by the writers though and supported them striking at the time.

Fringe. Started as a clone of the X-Files, then devolved into the most random, convoluted alternate universe and time travel madness. One should have seen that coming:

Created by J. J. Abrams Alex Kurtzman Roberto Orci

smallvilled. once lois lane was introduced. which made no sense to happen in smallville before he was a reporter and then that was about when lex went from being a sorta walking the edge antihero to villian which sorta ruined the schtick. Honestly lex luther was the main character to me in the show.

sandman, it was pretty obvious how cheap the props and costumes are, so you can feel the cheapness, some people had problem with the characters not being what they are suppose to be for the comics. Lucifer, REMIEL. its probably NETFLIX squeezing whats left of the series before cancelling it, i heard neil gaimans sex perversions dint overall affect the cancellation of the show, it was netflix being the usaul, season 2 cancellation theme.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not like they could have made a 3rd season anyways. While there were a few stories from the comics left untold, there isn't nearly enough to fill an entire other season. Maybe a couple of specials for things like The Worlds End Inn and Sandman 0, but that's essentially all that was left.
