Even though The Leftovers has ended its run on HBO, Damon Lindelof really wants his former show to get an Emmy nom. So much so, the Executive Producer says that if anyone or the show gets nominated Mr Jennifer Aniston will take of his sweatpants and we will find out what that bulge in them is all about.
I don’t know about you, but I think that would be enough to sway the Emmy voters. I know it did me but I cannot vote. Although, even though he promised that we will see all of Justin Theroux, Lindelof is one the people behind Lost, so we can trust him as far as we can throw him and we cannot throw him.
Ever since it was announced that TJ Miller will not be returning for Silicon Valley’s 5th season, everyone has wanted to know why. Erlich Bachman explained to Larry King why he will not be back. He told the Ora TV host simply, “Because it was the right time.” Then he explained, “HBO and I kind of decided this was a time the character could leave. We written it in a place where there was an organic departure.”
He insists that it was a mutual decision and neither one forced the other one’s hand. But then again, he has grown bigger than the show. Not only did he star in Deadpool and Office Christmas Party, he also has several other movies in the works including The Emoji Movie. You could say, he has becoming one of Hollywood’s go to comedic actors on the big screen and starring in a show on the small screen will consume too much of his time to do other things.
Are you sad to see him go, or do you feel it was time?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpMD-5-jsBU CBS picked up Man with a Plan and The Great Indoors for a full season today. The two sitcoms join Kevin Can Wait, Bull and McGuyver that already got that order. The only show awaiting its fate is Pure Genius and you don’t have to be a genius to know what that means. Although none of CBS’s 10p shows are doing that well, so you never know.
CBS wasn’t the only ones giving out good news, HBO asked for seconds seasons from Westworld, Divorce and Insecure. Jeez, HBO adds Sesame Street to their lineup and now their shows can only have one word in the title.

That loud wail you just heard from an unknown place was a fan of Game of Thrones. That’s because HBO announced today that the show is ending after its 8th season according to Entertainment Weekly. You might try to calm them down and tell them that means they still have 2 more seasons left, but I don’t that will give them any solace. How do you want the show to end?
I know I can’t wait for this show to end because I have never understood what all the hype is about and I am sick of hearing about it. And I can’t wait for AMC to chop off The Walking Dead’s too.

Even though HBO picked up Vinyl for a second season, today they announced that they are cancelling it. The network said, ““After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of ‘Vinyl.’ Obviously, this was not an easy decision. We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project.”
The cable show starring Ray Romano and Olivia Wilde got a lot of buzz, but not a lot of viewers. I am sure the latter part played a big part in their decision.
I wanted to check it out, but everyone kept telling me it was boring. Which also accounts for why people were treating it like Vinyl records and not buying it.
The most important question about the cancellation, is does Wilde get to keep her Merkin?
