A boring fight between Disney and a cable company could possibly change how everyone watches TV

I’ve been laughing about this one for a couple of days now:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

LOVE IS DEAD.

And just go ahead and miss me with this narrative that Sophie Turner “likes to party” while he “likes to stay home.” This is some guerilla publicist bullshit on his part and I don’t think it’s going to work.

For instance, Exhibit A:

Comcast’s sale of its stakes in Hulu to Disney has moved even closer to happening.

Meanwhile, Disney’s standoff with Charter/Spectrum continues, and might impact Monday Night Football, so brace yourselves.

Even if you’re not a Charter/Spectrum customer (which we are not down here in Houston, for instance) this standoff with Disney may still impact how you watch and stream television, so stay tuned.

So obviously, while this fight is happening, Disney is trying to lure you into Disney+ with a deal right now.

Starz is also offering a deal on their streaming subscription, lowering their annual price by five bucks.

Well, well, well, look who suddenly decided that giving Former President Four Indictments a town hall back in May was a bad idea.

One America News Network and their broadcaster Chanel Rion have settled the defamation case brought against them by Dominion Voting Systems.

Taylor Momsen opened up about her departure from Gossip Girl on Penn Badgley’s podcast, revealing that she didn’t want to act to begin with, and once she was old enough to leave the business, she did. She was, of course, labeled as being “difficult” at the time, instead of just being a kid who never wanted to be in the business in the first place.

Some things I missed last week:

Oh, hey, David Zaslav has a new idea on how to make the Max experience even worse: What if while you were watching Righteous Gemstones or Succession and you received a pop-up notification from CNN letting you know that Ted Cruz has some angry feelings about the government maybe — MAYBE — recommending we drink a less, or that Timothy Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were unconvincingly making out at the Beyoncé concert? That’d improve your viewing experience, right? You’d appreciate those distractions, wouldn’t you? You know what they say: Everyone loves a pop-up notification!

That TV writer who was mad that the Friends actors had thoughts about their characters and rejected her jokes (even though she admitted that she is not a comedy writer), also had some criticisms for Marc Cherry of Desperate Housewives and Vince Gilligan on Breaking Bad. She accuses both men of being disorganized and not knowing what they were doing. But the thing is? She worked on the first seasons of both of those shows, and in both instances, those were those men’s first jobs as showrunners, so they were learning as they were going along. Now, I am not here to defend Marc Cherry’s clearly very careless racist comment he made toward this woman, that was just gross. But she seems to be carrying around a lot of resentment towards these men being considered the creative geniuses behind these very successful series and … like … yeah? Because they were their shows? I’m sure working for them on those first seasons was difficult and frustrating, But you can’t deny that in the end, both Cherry and Gilligan were wildly successful … so maybe they deserve the recognition they earned?

Selena Gomez recently posted on Instagram about Only Murders in the Building which was a big oops because actors aren’t allowed to promote projects while they are on strike. She took down the post. It’s really not that big a deal.

That time that Hillary Clinton wrote Lorne Michaels a letter chewing him out for Saturday Night Live‘s portrayal of Chelsea (and she wasn’t wrong).

The vast majority of people support the writers and actors over the studios in these ongoing strikes, but continue holding out, AMPTP! Or, alternatively, have you thought about breaking up, AMPTP? It might actually be best for everyone if you did.

Barbara Walters’ last words were, reportedly, “No regrets – I had a great life.” May we all be so blessed.
