What the [!@#$%^&*] is SonyCrackle? I feel like that's a convo they'd have to have up front given the background of this show (especially at ABC given their black-ish controversy, which led to them getting dinged by critics and having Kenya Barris begin a slow exit from the network) and either agree to terms or not at all. I don't feel FX or whatever is a good place for it. Who watches sitcoms on those unless they're reruns? I feel it should be on network or streaming.

Not at all. But I'm starting to think a network looking to keep burnishing its progressive cred (ABC, etc.) might be best.

Sounds like Lacey just Nomi Malone'd her way to the heap!

The above is also a response to this:

Asked and answered!

I think the equivalent for ODAAT would be maybe a mini-season 4 of 4-6 episodes. Which I could take. But again, if a network or other outlet is willing to invest in the show and give it another full season or more a la B99 I say go for it. It was so sad seeing the kid who plays Alex saying he thought the show would run forever. I'd be happy if it could get one or two more seasons, which is a very respectable run in this day and age (but then, so is three seasons).

Damn, now I'm legit worried this'll keep LL out of the final season of FH. That'd be a shame, but at the same time I have no sympathy for her and if you read these docs it just makes you angrier.

Melissa and David Fumero of OLTL join the effort to save Netflix's One Day at a Time (which Melissa guest stars on in the most recent season):

From the above:

Well, you should because it's classic Norman Lear for a modern world! Guess who, @DRW50:

Welp!

IMO Beto should've waited. His behavior over the last few months has also been, well, stupid.

I think (like a lot of platforms) Netflix is caught between making quality television (and I think they do make some of that, in addition to making some schlock) and having to learn how to function like a real business in what is still a fairly new landscape, which they pioneered. That leads to a lot of schizophrenic and often backwards behavior, claiming to want one thing while doing another and trying to suddenly make hard-nosed decisions like a major network while claiming they're not like the networks. Well, they are and they aren't and they need to figure that out.

"#SaveODAAT" is now trending. Worth a shot, it worked for Brooklyn 9-9.

I don't believe they didn't have enough. I believe Netflix is trying too hard to 'get tough' on their numbers and metrics and as a result certain shows are getting dinged. They greenlight a lot more expensive schlock than this.

Sigh. Apparently it'll be shopped around, who knows.

More casting - this character is likely to be what was described as The actor's Instagram is, uh, compelling.
