I find them incredibly tacky, but, a very vocal subset of this sub is enamored with them.

What they forget is that Star Trek blew it by not making PADDs functional in the cloud. If you wanted to submit the new duty roster to Commander Riker, you had to physically deliver him the tablet. So the need for wall-mounted functional displays made sense, you couldn't just update a PADD and have the info at your fingertips on your device any time you needed.

(Also, Gene Roddenberry outlawed pockets)

But, since we all have the device on us at all times, the wall display is an anachronism to a pre-cloud vision of the future.

I don't get why everyone loves bulky black rectangles glued to their walls with cords dangling underneath them. Even the "nice" ones are kinda lame.

I do have a smart control panel, but, it's a small clock on my nightstand that's in clock mode 99% of the time, in HA mode only when I need to interact with it. That serves a functional purpose when not in use.

To each their own, tho, no accounting for other people's tastes.

I think technically the park is not in Lake Balboa. The lake is in Encino and the part east of Woodley is in Van Nuys. Some maps just have "Sepulveda Basin" as its own neighborhood.

There's some "Lake Balboa" signage on the wall of the Black Heart Coffee shop and on the other side of the wall of the pawn shop.

Not the only president in a wrestling hall of fame. Donald Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.

It's amazing, and I have zero idea how it ended up on a broadcast network like NBC.

It had the look of an HBO prestige drama, but somehow escaped into the wild.

There's a scene where a guy cuts off strips of his own face to feed to dogs. There's a killer who's sewn together 50 naked bodies into a sculpture. A main cast member is killed, frozen solid, then run through a band saw and sliced into vertical pieces mounted between glass partitions and displayed.

And they show all of it. Did the censors die? I have no idea. I don't even know how they managed to promote it. "Coming up after The Office! Watch Hannibal sever a man's neck and then play his vocal chords like a cello! Only on NBC!"

Can't really do it in the worldwide binge-release model. I could write a book on this topic, it's basically my job. But for a multitude of reasons, if Netflix tried to invest in doing 20 episodes and binge-drop them all worldwide-same-day in every language like they do now, it'd take 2+ years to do one season.

One thing many people don't know is the old broadcast calendar was also 2 years per season. It'd air in the US and then it'd take another year to do international releases in foreign languages.

The broadcast schedule also operates differently. You write, shoot, edit, and air all at the same time. They shoot episode 1 in June, edit in July and August, and air it in September. Episodes 2 and 3 shoot in July, edit in August and September, and air in October. And so on.

They don't finish writing the last episode until like February or March, when they're shooting episode 17 or 18 and airing episodes 13 or 14.

And they can adjust on the fly, if something's not working or the ratings are bad, broadcast shows get that feedback and can adjust the remaining episodes before they air.

Netflix, due to the costs, requires all the writing done before any of the shooting starts. They lose the time efficiency of only writing 4-6 episodes ahead. Writing 20 episodes would take the same amount of time as it does for broadcast, but, a broadcast show would start shooting simultaneously. Netflix can't. So the whole writing process has to happen non-concurrently. Then the whole shooting process has to happen non-concurrently. Then the whole editing process and international language localization has to happen, non-concurrently. Three/four processes that overlap each other simultaneously in the broadcast model have to happen sequentially in the Netflix model.

And Netflix shows don't have the benefit of seeing ratings and using the feedback to guide future episodes. It's all got to be in the can before they can start localizing and it all airs at the same time, so, if something sucks in episode 1 it's too late to fix it for episode 5. For example, I'm sure they would have loved to reduce the screen time of Eleven's superfriend squad that weird season of Stranger Things, but, those episodes all dropped same day. A broadcast show could have re-edited episodes and written them out after getting feedback. Netflix had to get married to it.

LAPD won't care. They'll say if the driver isn't identifiable, no point in going after the plate. "Could be anyone driving, we can't arrest a car." 

The top scoring NFL players of all time are kickers. The highest scoring fantasy players each season are always kickers and QBs. So what? When there's 20 guys scoring a ton of points as kickers, but, you only need 12 to round out the rosters, it's just noise.

"MASH" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" were both half-hour comedies that spun off hour-long dramas ("Trapper John MD" and "Lou Grant", respectively), as well as other sitcoms ("AfterMASH", "WALTER", "Phyllis", and "Rhoda").

Norman Lear's "All in the Family":

• Spun off "Maude" and that spun off "Good Times"
• Spun off "The Jeffersons" which spun off "Checking In"
• Spun off "Archie Bunker's Place", "Gloria", and "704 Hauser"

These shows spanned from 1971 to 1994, over 20+ years.

Also a weekly "look at this screen I screwed into the wall".

Maybe one with "and you can see the wire dangling to the power outlet" and one with "and the wire is behind the wall"

Generally, no.

The 2nd TE's VORP is not going to be great enough to be worth a roster spot. If it is... you're using so much draft capital to secure a TE that you're losing ground at another position.

After Kicker and Defense, TE is the next-easiest hole to plug off the waiver wire. You can always find a TE going up against a soft D any week, and even if the floor is 2 points... what are you really expecting from a TE? 6? 8? You make that up in the other slots.

Variance is too high, VORP isn't great enough, and plenty of serviceable plug-and-play guys exist on the waiver wire.

As a TV worker, I can say that CBS half-hour shows are about 21:12 of total program. :25 seconds are for credits and :05 for a title card. So you end up with 20 minutes and 42 seconds of show content per half hour. The remaining time is network promos and ads.
