Netflix: One Day at a Time

That's good. At least they won't feel under the gun.

I think we may be seeing more of these types of jumps -- from streaming to a network--in the future.  CBS All Access quietly decided to run the first couple seasons of the streaming platform's most popular, highly acclaimed series The Good Fight on CBS network during the summer. It will be interesting to see what the results are considering how different TGF is from CBS' usual fare and also the fact that being on a streaming platform has allowed TGF to take a lot more risks in the writing and characterizations than the traditional CBS network series. 

Cable, I would imagine would be a more seamless transition from streaming, considering the risks cable has already been taking with its shows for decades.

I totally did not recognize Glenn Scarpelli as the hotel clerk in episode 7 of Season 3 (where Elena and Syd have sex).

Neither did I. Wow. Well it was nice they gave him a cameo.

On a semi-related note of schadenfreude, I saw this coming the instant I heard these actors wanted raises upon renewal a couple weeks ago. Conventional wisdom has been floated that Netflix cut ODAAT because it felt its own show, On My Block, would be equally palatable and/or interchangeable in terms of Latino-centric programming while no longer having to pay out to a third party like ODAAT. And now...

Well of the show is on the low budget end maybe an increase to 80k an episode

 

250000 is a big jump for a show pulling ok numbers but not ST numbers

Obviously, this is great for Calderon-Kellet but I'm not sure how things will fare for the show without her input.

I figure she'll leave a good team in place. She's still doing the next season, I believe.

Justina Machado is allegedly in the next round of ABC's Norman Lear sitcom redoes, for real this time: https://tvline.com/2019/12/12/good-times-live-cast-viola-davis-andre-braugher-florida-james-evans/

Having witnessed her in action personally, Viola Davis is certified gold onstage, I expect greatness as far as she's concerned. Andre Braugher will make a great James too.  I'm not sure about Haddish onstage but I can't quibble about any of the rest of the cast.

Thanks. Are they repeating the special?
