TV Show Thread

[darkknightkryta]

i haven't seen star fleet academy but i watched discovery and strange new worlds. 

They don't look like cheap shows to produce.  and i don't think paramount+ is bringing in lots of money.  there are just too many streaming services and personally netflix on its own releases more shows than i can keep up with.  i wish star trek had the cultural pull to be must watch content but i just don't think it is.  i think its like indiana jones where old farts like me love it but the younger generations don't care at all.

I think movies will be fine, but the T.V. guys better be worried.  The children aren't watching t.v. shows, Tik Tok and Instagram is all they use.  I still see some of my students watch shows, but it's only a handful.

On another tangent, I've been thinking about this recently, but Hollywood screwed up big.  I'm not talking about the streaming, but their greed literally killed their IPs.  I mean, I don't think anyone wouldn't have known Bugs Bunny growing up, or Simpsons in their later years.  This all broke when they started to lock shows behind paywalls.  Now no one knows who Bugs Bunny is, nor do they care for Simpson, or in this case: Star Trek.  I used to watch the old Star Trek show cause it would be randomly on over the air television.  Heck even the old Spider-man cartoon from the 60s.  People would have known the theme because it would randomly be on T.V. over the air or on basic cable.  Streaming stuff exasperated the issue.
