Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Tony Blair has declared the fifth season of The Crown to be “complete and utter rubbish.” In fact, he’s written a whole angry letter about it.

NBC will use TikTok and live streaming to report on tomorrow’s midterm elections (in addition to NBC News primetime coverage and MNSBC, of course).

Shonda Rhimes, pointing out the obvious: “Shows with a more inclusive cast have more viewers and make more money, they get more advertising dollars. We showed it was an economic model that was more profitable.” 

Speaking of Shonda, she and other Netflix creators aren’t too happy about their shows being interrupted by commercials.

Keanu Reeves is as confused by that whole Matthew Perry thing as anyone.

Just because one person managed to land a role on The Sandman by advocating for themselves on social media doesn’t mean that it will work for you. Neil Gaiman has some casting tips for you wannabe Deliriums:

And as a reminder to everyone out there who wants to act, “I’m a lot like Delirium in real life” is not the hard-sell casting slam dunk many of you seem to think it is. If you’re going to be in Sandman you need to be an actor, you need to have credits, we need to know not only that you’re brilliant but that you’re also reliable, and that you know how to act for TV — can you do the same scene two dozen times, and still say the lines every time as if this is the first time you’ve ever said them? Can you be funny and break people’s hearts at the same time?)

An NBC news report about the attack on Paul Pelosi had to be pulled when they realized the source they used was unreliable. NBC’s report suggested that “Paul Pelosi answered the door for police, responding to a 911 call, but the officers were “seemingly unaware they had been called to the home of the speaker of the House.” Pelosi, though, didn’t “declare an emergency” or try to leave, but walked back to the suspect, who was carrying a hammer.” This was inaccurate and fed into right-wing conspiracies about the attack, so WAY TO GO, GUYS.

The Countess doesn’t think much of Bethenny Frankel’s whole rewatch idea.

The cast of Westworld will be paid for season five, even though it’s not happening. (see below)

Keep fighting, Andy Taylor.

Renewals

  • Monster has been renewed at Netflix for two more seasons on Netflix.
  • The Watcher has been renewed at Netflix for a second season.

Cancellations

  • Westworld has been canceled after four seasons on HBO. This comes right after Warner Bros. Discovery told shareholders that “the grand experiment of creating something at any cost is over” but they are claiming this decision wasn’t a budget decision. OK.
  • A Million Little Things will end after the upcoming fifth season on ABC.
  • Whose Line Is It Anyway? will end after season 12 on The CW.
