Hoping the cast fatalism is long game minded - why curb audience heartbreak when it could only increase chance of cc/Hulu pick-up. But either way, wahhhhhh. Why u give me good season 5 when hit or miss s3 followed by zombie s4 let me down more gradually?

Harmon is in town doing a podcast taping tomorrow that I'm going to try to attend. We'll see what he says.

Rick and Morty having been picked up for a 2nd season softens the blow considerably, I gotta say.

Wish they'd at least marketed it as a farewell season instead of literally putting "six seasons and a movie" in the network promo

Rick and Morty isn't that good, though

maybe they'll make up for the lost season and give us a Ben Hur length movie

tbh I would rather have a movie chronicling Alison Brie's Smirnoff party with Adam Scott

It sucks that the show had to go out on such a low note. The season 5 finale was a mess.

uh yeah if S5 finished on a high note, I could live with this
(Don't worry, they'll be back on some streaming thing.)

i'm honestly kinda fine with it ending. liked season 5 fine but I never felt this needed to be a long-tenured series. if anything I'd have been happier if 4 never happened and 5 replaced 4 and it had more of a definitive end.
― getting strange ass all around the globe (Neanderthal), Saturday, 10 May 2014 05:46 (ten years ago) link
I said this above and I stand by it - had S5 been a normal length season, with a bit more light and shade, and character development between the novelty episodes, it would have been fine. But it felt rushed - cf the David Cross character in the subpar D&D episode - and suffered as a result.

Harmontown. Dan is not nearly as upset by the news as you'd think he'd be.

I proved empirically than I am taller than Dan Harmon.
Oh yeah, and this happened:

Made the whole weekend festival worth it. He'll happily talk to anybody afterwards about Joseph Campbell, the Dead Alewives, etc.

did the Arrested Development thing work out well for Netflix? it seems like reviving a cult comedy is a decent idea for a streaming service but creating dramas that people will want to binge watch ended up being far more beneficial to them. if nothing else it beats Amazon Prime's strategy of creating new half hour comedies that nobody gives a damn about enough to even form a cult around.

Yahoo did the three seasons of Burning Love, so this is probably a good fit. On the other hand, I forgot they existed since they geoblocked Burning Love halfway through the first season and wouldn't put it on the Australian version.

yeah from what i can tell it's not a subscription service. arrested development worked in that it got a ton of attention and subscribers for netflix. opinion is mixed on how well it worked creatively (i'm pro, esp the last half, but i think it's definitely fair to say there was more buzz beforehand than afterward) and who knows on the data but netflix doesn't seem to be in a huge hurry to due a half hour comedy while they have no problem renewing lillehammer or spawning new seasons of the killing. comedies were pretty big to hulu (initially at least) so who knows but it does seem like dramas have an edge in streaming like they do on network tv. cable seems more mixed - sunny is arguably the biggest hit fx has had and girls probably does more for hbo's brand than any show other than game of thrones; it's weird cuz yeah house of cards got huge attention and buzz for netflix and it has standard prestige drama dressings but it was kind of astroturfed success. orange is the new black is the organic hit and i'm not sure exactly what lessons can be learned from it.
