This is a weakly written piece (she isn’t one of Vulture’s better columnists), but many here and elsewhere have said this over the years. The full headline is “CBS’s Toxic Culture Isn’t Just Behind the Scenes. It’s in the Stories It Tells.”

First two are Australian neo-soul, funky jazz-fusion sh!t. The lead singer is battling breast cancer now.

Sara Gilbert was MVP last season, but something’s off about her this year IMO. Particularly with the timing and delivery, She’s not as natural or comfortable. Lecy OTOH has really stepped up.

I’m pretty sure that The Voice has usually led in the demos by a wide margin, since it skews a lot younger, but DWTS had usually led in total viewers. That didn’t mean much, but now ABC can’t even claim those bragging rights. (Of course, DWTS was many seasons in when The Voice premiered, so it wasn’t a buzzy show anymore.) NBC will soon run into the same issue with viewer fatigue from too many Voice cycles. It’s still good at launching shows, as Manifest and New Amsterdam both have done well this season.

It’s weird that article doesn’t mention the poor demo ratings, which I’m sure was the deciding factor. They should have only done one cycle a season a long time ago.

LOL, it kills me that we have to follow a British newspaper for a story on an American tennis figure, coach of the No. 1 American men’s tennis player and commentator on an American TV network, who was arrested on American soil, with American tennis players coming to his defense. Hilarious. However this shakes out, I’ve lost the remaining scrap of respect I had for tennis media.

This guy and his flexibility...OhEmGee.

And I know people loved them some David Andrew McDonald, but Edmund was so obviously a big queen flouncing around devouring all scenery in a 20-mile radius. It made it that much more insulting that soaps weren’t investing in actual gay characters. And then there was Carmen and the Santos family...the show had just changed so much so fast.
