After a week of working with Lucille Ball on an episode of Here's Lucy, Richard Burton wrote in a diary entry dated Thursday, May 17th, 1970:

“Those who had told us that Lucille Ball was ‘very wearing’ were not exaggerating. She is a monster of staggering charmlessness and monumental lack of humour. She is not ‘wearing’ to us because I suppose we refuse to be worn. I am coldly sarcastic with her to the point of outright contempt but she hears only what she wants to hear… Nineteen solid years of double-takes and pratfalls and desperate up-staging and cutting other people’s laughs if she can, nervously watching ‘the ratings’ as she does so ... I loathed her the first day. I loathed her the second day and the third. I loathe her today but now I also pity her. After tonight I shall make a point of never seeing her again ... this behemoth of selfishness..."

Alan Alda Vs. Walter Koenig

Propaganda

Alan Alda - (M*A*S*H) - He is both the saddest wettest little meow meow and your kindly grandfather and your favourite eccentric uncle (mom's side). Somehow it works. Passionate Democrat, feminist, great writer, he and his books are hilarious. Did a cartwheel when he won an Emmy! How he met his wife is the best meet cute of the last two centuries, and they've now been married over 60 years!!!

Walter Koenig - (Star Trek, Babylon 5) - If you haven't watched him in Babylon 5 as recurring villain Alfred Bester then you are missing out! It is one of his best performances! He's such a talented actor and Babylon 5 uses him so well!

Alan Alda:

he’s just so good in MASH

he put so much bisexuality into hawkeye i think it fundamentally changed me when i was little and watching mash for the first time. anyway do we all know the story about how he met his wife when they were at a party together and they were the only two people eating the cake that fell on the floor and he fell in love with her over her laugh. i just think hes neat :) i love when theres a strange looking man. also feel it necessary to say that the guy that wrote the book mash was based on wrote himself as hawkeye and HATED alda's hawkeye bc he displayed his morals too much (alda had it in his contract for the show that every episode had to have an operating room scene bc otherwise you arent backdropping the fact that war is Not fun. actually. he almost didnt take the role bc he thought a war comedy would make too much light of the horrors)

please please please use this picture of him, he's so hot in it

His comedic delivery in MASH...

The story of how he met his wife is charming and sweet, and they've now been married 65 years

Just look at him. He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen but also he's completely average. He's got a weak jawlines and a round face and these big soft eyes and he's just so beautiful. He's capable of playing a silly charismatic sitcom protagonist in one scene, and a jaded army surgeon haunted by the deaths he's witnessed in the next. He's so hot that my dad once told me he decided to apply to medical school because of how much he was attracted to Hawkeye Pierce. That's literally how I learned that my father was bisexual.

He's also just a really great dude? He's been outspoken about his political beliefs for a long time, and has always been strongly and vocally anti-war, pro-feminist, and pro lgbt. He served a tour in the Korean war, and his experiences there informed his performance in the show. He (and honestly the entire cast, but especially him) really just soared above and beyond the standard for comedies of the day.

He's so funny and his eyes are pretty

He loves and is a champion of science (Source).

CW: Torture, blood, death

When is comes to Jesse Armstrong outside of succession people talk about Peep Show (He was producer and creator) and The thick of it (He wrote 15 episodes), which makes sense as they’re both some of the most iconic sitcoms in British television. But I was watching clips of Fresh Meat (A university sitcom that I loved when I was a teenager) on YouTube, and my favourite character: Vod, said a line that gave me major Super Hans vibes (a character from peep show) which made me remember that our boy Jesse was also the creator of Fresh Meat.

Also a few weeks ago I found out he was the creator of ‘Babylon’, a long forgotten show about the high ups of the metropolitan police, it came out when I was 16 and it only had one season before it was cancelled, but I remember loving it and being so annoyed that there wasn’t going to a second season, and then I looked up his career on Wikipedia and he wrote episodes for some of my favourite kids shows growing up (Tracey Beaker and The Queens nose) like the man had influenced my taste in TV throughout the entirety of my childhood and teen years without me even knowing it, Succession was destined to become my favourite show. I’m so glad he’s become successful in America, so even more people globally can be exposed to his amazing work, can’t wait for his new HBO movie.

I Just Saw The Most Beautiful Ghost In The World! I never took to conventional Family Sitcoms during the '80s and '90s -- they sure were ubiquitous -- but I still have a yen for the Weird/Supernatural variations in which outwardly normalized families conceal a weird token member (often adopted) like an alien, a robot, an angel, a witch, or in the case of 1983's "Jennifer Slept Here," the ghost of a Disco-Era movie goddess, dead not by overdose, suicide, or murder, but from accidentally being mowed down by an ice cream truck. The series anticipates "Ghosts" in key respects, Jennifer the adoptive figure, revealing herself only to the teenage son of the East Coast family relocated to her mansion, able to affect objects around her, accompany him to school, and even briefly making herself visible to the living, though she frustratingly can't be captured on camera, which foils her bid to star in her own movie biopic. It's a novel premise, Jennifer becoming a mentor and comedic sounding board for the young man, this as he finds himself sexually attracted to a phantom, his family growing doubtful of his sanity in the process. At the center of it all is the fabulous Ann Jillian, smart, funny, sharp, and dazzling, Jennifer's remaining a spirit in the material world driven by her goal to rehabilitate her public image as a real talent and not just a pinup, bimbo, and hapless blonde Hollywood Babylon casualty-punchline.

Be honest: does Life with Althaar exist because someone asked the question "What if Babylon 5 were a sitcom?"

[ginger-snap-talkin-nonsense]

How many shows and movies do I have to hate/stop watching in order to get a media diet as diverse as yours? Obviously I’ve already stopped watched every cartoon/TV show released after 2010, as that fact just automatically means they’re inherently terrible now, and cut out any media made by those evil LGBTQ+ people destroying the animation industry with their evil tropes. But I want to do more, and who better to ask than the person who inspired me to restrict what I watch to an extreme degree in order to loop back around to enjoying watching a TON of media. Because I have a complete understanding of why that makes sense obviously.

Oh, and I also cut out watching any indie animation, most Internet horror generally, quite a few sitcoms (But always publicly CLAIMING that I enjoyed watching them, of course), most LGBTQ+ Youtubers other than Lily as well, and just so much more! So, how much MORE media do I have to restrict myself from watching/enjoying even further before I ascend out of this reality, loop back around like you did, and end up being able to enjoy a whole LOT of media again?

Oh how sweet! The Tumblr whore of Babylon sent me two messages in 24 hours as though they haven't been running around town getting their dick wet in every askbox. Are you hoping I'll dispute this nonsense and make you feel at home again, sitcom anon?

You can't recapture the magic between us, you harlot-you've already broken my heart. I thought what we had was special!

I Told Sunset About You Rewatch Ep 3 Stray Thoughts

It's time for the tension episode. This is where things come to a head. Let's just go.

This boy really liked Oh-aew so much that it rewired his sense of smell. It's really incredible how much Billkin was willing to be unattractive in this show. This team understood that to be truly beautiful, there needs to be a little ugly.

I'm really glad they took time for us to see Teh thank Hoon for the plane ticket.

I forgot we started with Oh-aew in the tub. The girlies were not ready.

Of course Teh is up at 4 am for Oh, but he wouldn't get up for Tarn. That poor girl. Look at Tuty in the background watching this gay shit go down.

Teh asking Tarn to go off with his friends while they all watch silently from behind the screen is still one of the best scenes in the e fire show. Will also never get over PP making Billkin cry for accidentally hitting him too hard during the horseplay.

See, even Tarn knows that Teh is making exceptions for Oh he wouldn't make for her.

They just love letting Billkin play Teh being awkward. The cut to Oh falling behind Bas? Incredible. Bas always knew what was going on and was so powerless to do anything about it.

Teh is actively flirting and confusing everyone!

"I'll be with Bas, then," but looks directly at Teh? Both of these boys need to stop using Tarn and Bas as a way to one-up each other.

This going back and forth between them, Oh-aew? Heart wrenching.

Truly, how much money have PP and Billkin made from Lays because of this scene on the deck?

Poor Bas. Puts his heart out there and gets crushed. Oh knew what agreeing to that New Year's date would mean. At least be has enough class to let Bad down.

This couch scene is great because it almost feels like it could be from a multi-cam sitcom.

Hammock scene my beloved. Oh-aew is so brave. He breaks the subtext of all of their interactions and pushes Teh directly. Lets him know as they're literally on top of each other that Teh is the source of his confusion about Bas. He asks Teh the question in a way that doesn't let him deny it. Teh knows it's coming and pretends like he doesn't. "I think you know. You really don't? But I think you do. Or you really don't? But I do think you know?" Teh can't help but ask, "Since when?" And can only answer "I don't know." And admit his desire for closeness when Oh leans forward and pushes.

And now Skyline. It's out in the open now. They may not have moved much, but everything shifted.

Oh, Tarn. I need you and Bas to get a scene like Lennier and Vir in Babylon 5 where they commiserate about Delenn and Londo.

Oh shit Teh is wearing the shirt. It's about to go down.

I get it, Teh. Oh-aew is just so alluring. This man is on the floor inhaling the paper. Mess of his face. He is so gone.

Skyline really is undefeated. The amount of control Oh exerts over Teh with just his presence is just so incredible to watch even still three years later.

"Why do you have to think so hard about it? Forget about it. Do whatever you feel like. There's no need for an answer, if there's no answer." This is what I'm saying!! We get so caught up in the warring over labels. They're just tools to help us think about ourselves. Oh knows intrinsically that these two are drawn to each other and it's stronger than what he's ever felt for Bas. That feeling is what matters. He offers Teh the time and patience of "secret" to let him figure it out. You can see Teh instantly relax at that and try to fall back into the flirtatious studying they've been doing.

Man, what is it about Teh? If Teh tells him he can't quit, Oh always finds a way to dig deeper.

Jesus, Skyline remains undefeated.

"As promised." It gets me every time.

I tell ya. It's always queer boys and their moms.

I don't know what went wrong with the original translation scene or the final scene from this episode when they were in post, but what we got was so good from the reshoots that I legit never want to see the discarded takes.

I still can't believe they filmed this while surrounded by tourists. The translation scene is still my favorite confession in BL. Oh knew what was happening. He knows Teh is flirting through these Chinese lessons. It's absolutely incredible. It's just so much. Teh connected the series that helped him find his purpose to his feelings for Oh. Just omg.

That's right, Tuty! Regulate!! You can smell the sexual energy! Don't let nothing gay happen on your watch!!!

Notice that the leg touching begins as soon as Tuty leaves? She lost focus and now look at us.

Oh is so careful, he mentions being tired from walking before touching Teh's leg. He's giving Teh another way to ease in by framing it as normal help. But the score knows. Oh's hand on the inside of his thigh knows.

Oh's shirt literally says sunset, and Teh is wearing the branded shirt. They wanted us to know how this was really the climactic moment of the show. That's where his head is still at.

JFC Teh pushing Oh's face to say he's not ready for that. Look. I need to pause for this one. So many of my young encounters did not begin with or ever involve kissing. It's just too much. We can rub each other's legs and grope all night, but there's something about kissing when you're in the closet that makes it too much. Oh made it clear it's what he wanted, Teh couldn't give it to him, but they can still touch.

"What if there are two male protagonists?" I was holding my breath at this point in 2020.

It's the way Teh can't stop moving as he pulls Oh onto his chest. He just can't stop touching. The breathing gets heavy. We know where this is going. And then he stops at Oh's chest and the spell is broken.

The hot, bothered, and devastated look on Oh's face is the most impressive single expression I've seen in all of BL.

The silence at the end is deafening, and then we go into PP singing Skyline? I remember this week breaking us.

What an incredible episode. All of the games. All of the rituals. All of the safety valves. All of the blinders. All of it just to have Teh bail in the moment because he faced the physical reality that Oh wasn't a woman. He once again made Oh think he wasn't enough after pouring it on thick all episode. Goddamn.

It's safe to say that when it comes to outlasting the strike, I am good.

100 Things About Me

I put this together sometime in mid to late 2024.

I am legally blind.

I prefer identify first language over person first, because person first makes it sound as if I can take my disability off as if it's an attachment.

I don't like abled people telling me how to refer to myself or my disability.

I like to drink room temperature water in the winter.

I have three main hobbies: buying art supplies, organising art supplies, and using art supplies.

I love binge-watching old TV shows as background and comfort noise, particularly Cadfael, the first four seasons of Babylon 5, and Veronica Mars.

I have seen Gary Numan live six times.

I love singing jazz.

Cooking is a monumental bore.

I am childfree by choice.

I have had surgery to render myself incapable of pregnancy.

I have zero regrets about either of the above two things.

The only car I've ever driven was an F2000 racecar.

Aside from various locations in Canada, I've been to the US, England, France, Hungary, Germany, and Cuba.

I don't know how to swim.

The older I get the more politically and socially angry I get, and the "leftier" I get.

I like systems that benefit people collectively.

I cannot abide the smell of mutton cooking.

My favourite colours are warm greens - like grasses, leaves, and olives.

Celebrity and influencer culture bore the shit out of me.

I have no real desire to own a home. I'm content ro rent.

I love abstract art.

I am an atheist and antitheist.

I haven't watched a sitcom in so long I don't even remember the last one I watched.

I have five tattoos.

I haven't watched any mainstream Canadian broadcast news since the second week of October 2023.

When I have tea, I only like milk in it.

My favourite songs to listen to loud are Gary Numan's Hope Bleeds version of Are Friends Electric?, Led Zeppelin Nobody's Fault But Mine, Fugazi Waiting Room, and Gang of Four To Hell With Poverty.

My love for loud music has not blunted as I get older.

I didn't know my blood type until about five years ago.

Songs that mention luxury brand names annoy the shit out of me.

Things that other people seem to like which I don't: the movie Titanic, Taylor Swift, wine.

Things that I like which other people seem not to like so much, include: pigeons, spinach, communists. Only the middle one for eating. I don't want to eat communists. Although I've had pigeon once, and it was delicious.

i prefer micro-fine black ink pens over any other kind.

My first name apparently roughly translates to "ready for battle". Anyone who knows me is going to find that funny.

Crunchy peanut butter is superior to smooth.

I like collecting postcards.

Some things I like include tea, navel oranges, speculative fiction, loud guitar, corn bread, black pepper, leaf scuffing, ruby grapefruit, exploring abandoned buildings, surprise bags, milk chocolate, puns, warm spring days, a seriously good mindfuck, comfort films, the Oxford comma, constrained writing, ice cream, and costume drama.

My favourite mindfuck film is probably still Altered States.

I'm starting to come around to the term apocalist as opposed to bucket list.

I prefer pre-Moonratker Bond films.

I like to sing, preferably jazz standards or things of that like.

I think the reason most people who say they don't like jazz think they don't like jazz, is specifically because of scat and bebop.

I am grossed out by potato eyes.

I don't like people watching me do housework.

I truly believe that Frampton Comes Alive! does have restorative powers.

I like the sounds of wind in the trees and rain on the streets.

My household theme song is Tim Curry's I Do the Rock.

My favourite Beatles' song is Dig a Pony.

I don't like having my picture taken. No paparazzi!

I believe that you should work to live not live to work.

I believe that if life hands you lemons, you should make pie. Everything is better with pie.

I once cut myself with bubble wrap.

For years I've been keeping a notebook in which I write a list of things to be happy about.

I like attention. I don't like being the centre of attention.

I never learned how to put on any makeup other than lipstick.

I think best days ever include: Gary Day (any day on which I get to see Gary Numan live), New Toothbrush Day / Dentist Cleaned My Teeth Day, New Art Supplies Arrive in the Mail Day, The Day I Learned About Server-Side Includes, and Friday.

I like when there's enough of something.

For a long time when I was a child I wouldn't walk right up to my bed if the lights were out. I'd get about a foot away then jump onto it. I blame this on the movie Blackbeard's Ghost and that scene where he's looking into the mirror and the ghost appears behind him.

Sometimes I eat oranges because I like the sharp sweet smell more than I'm desirous of actually eating it.

One of my favourite things in the world is the tenor solo in the Ode to Joy, and the way it creeps up on you every time, like how Brain Damage/Eclipse creeps up on you and surprises you every time at the end of Dark Side of the Moon. I never get tired of that.

I like the film Lawrence of Arabia.

I believe in the right to choose.

I like to eat sweet things, but I don't like the smell of it on my hands afterwards.

I once volunteered to participate in a psych study just to get one of the perks of doing the study: copies of MRI scans of your brain.

For years I wouldn't get in an elevator first or get out last, because when I was five I got stuck in an elevator during a hydro company-oriented power outage. They decided that a school day's lunch time was the perfect time to do some testing. Boy did they get an earful from a number of people.

I get an enormous charge out of location-spotting the city where I live in films and TV shows.

My hair used to be a lovely golden red when I was young. It got blonder as I got older. That bums me out. I want the red back.

My current favourite vulgarity is halve poes.

I don't enjoy magic shows, sitcoms, Star Wars, or superhero movies.

I prefer 1% milk. Homogenised is too fatty and skim is like water.

I like making lists.

I own a green bass guitar.

I have never chugged maple syrup.

I don't like drinking carbonated drinks on hot days.

I like anise in candy but not with meat.

One time my mother ordered me groceries as a gift, but she accidentally doubled everything so I ended up with 20lbs of potatoes.

I hate wearing pink. I don't own anything pink.

Shrimp are too creepy to eat, as are snails.

I have no interest in jewellery and don't like white diamonds.

The skins that sometimes form on top of hot chocolate drinks are gross.

When I was five I had an imaginary friend named Charlie Brokentoaster.

I rarely drink alone. I come from a long line of alcoholics, so I just didn't want to get into the habit of drinking by myself. I want to enjoy alcohol, so I keep alcohol as a social thing.

Coloured pencils are one of my favourite things.

I just realised I've been playing Candy Crush for over a decade. That's just weird.

I never figured out Double Dutch when I was a kid.

Sometimes I miss ringing telephones.

I bought the kid version of a Waterpik because it was green and came with stickers.

My first Doctor was Jon Pertwee, but my favourite Doctor was Tom Baker.

Places I still want to visit include Uluru, Death Valley, and Kilimanjaro. None of these things is likely to come to pass.

I don't mind long bus rides. Good reading time.

I believe everyone has a creative capacity.

My favourite scents include the sharpness of lemon, orange, and grapefruit rinds, pine, and cooking soup.

Boomer thinkers annoy the shit out of me.

I like found object art and found poetry.

I wish cereal wasn't so carby. Sometimes a body gets a craving.

I can't eat bananas unless they're still a little green, because they're way too sweet when they're all the way yellow.

I still don't understand how I can not touch the lenses of my glasses and they still get marks on them. What the hell's up with that?

My cousins and I used to sneak fresh rhubarb out of their grandfather's garden when we were little.

Racism and bigotry are deal-breakers for me.

[theyaremycrocsyoudonut]

Thank you @anthruser for tagging me! I've never done one of these before so any and all corrections/recommendations are welcome.

🔠Name: I'm hiding my Tumblr account from a couple of friends so I don't want to say my name, but for the sake of brevity I guess you can call me Don (theyaremycrocsyoudonut haha get it ba-dum tssss)

🌀How do you pronounce your own Tumblr handle in your head? My username is a combination of the "what are those???" "They are my crocs" meme and Gordon Ramsay yelling at some poor wannabe chef and calling him a donut. So I imagine the crocs meme in a really angry Gordon Ramsay voice

🪟When you look out the window right now what do you see? The apartment complex beside mine. I wish I could see some trees though. Trees fuck

💼What is the most unusual profession someone in your family was in? I can't think of one that really stands out. Almost everyone in my family practices an "unusual" profession, but not like mind-boggling unusual, you know. My mother is a counselor for the ministry of immigration, specializing in securing EU programs and funding for the immigrants. My dad is responsible for the security of my country's equivalent of the Pentagon, I think it is the ministry of external affairs? My grandfather was the captain of various cargo ships and travelled the entirety of the world like 3-4 times, which for me is the coolest profession on the list. My other grandfather was a helicopter pilot and a meteorologist for the Air Force.

🎨What hobby were you really into as a kid? I was really into speedcubing. Then I continued to learn how to solve new cubes till I was about 16. I wasn't ever freakishly good at it but I was decent. My personal best at the classic 3x3 was 29.7 seconds and I intend to get into this hobby again when I finish my exams and lower it even more.

🔍First autofill Google result when you type 'How can I...? "How can I see who unfollowed me on Instagram" Turns out you can't unless you search for them by name

🎶If you were the main character in a sitcom, what song would be playing during the opening credits? Oraia tipissa I zoi- by Psycho(or by Akikloforita on Spotify)

🎬What's the last movie you watched? The Iron Claw. Holy fuck you cannot understand how much of a masterpiece this film was. It baffles me how it did not get a single Oscar nomination. Visually it was a masterpiece. I don't cry easily, but this movie had me slobbering like a 7 year old. Those few final scenes and the reference on ancient Greek mythology fucking broke me. 10/10 please watch this immediately or I will explode.

🎥What's your favorite movie genre? Whatever Tarantino makes (ik that as a person he sucks but his movies are FIRE) and the entire genre of "obsessed artist"(see Whiplash, I, Tonya, Black Swan and such)

🍿What movie would you recommend? I could go on forever but I'm going to try and be brief. All of the aforementioned films + Pour Things (an ode to absurdism), Babylon (truly an underrated gem), Eteros Ego (the best film of modern Greek cinema, an amazingly well put thriller and can be found on YouTube with English subs).

👯‍♀️Do your IRL humans know about your fandom life? Well, because of my inability to shut up they know about it. The thing is, I don't want them to see just how deep my shameless obsession goes. Which has created a problem, cause now they're BEGGING me to give them my username. I've promised to give it to them after our exams, so shout-out to R and T if they're seeing this then. Love you guys 🫶🫶🫶

🚣🏼‍♀️If you could do one activity with your pocket/fandom friends what would it be? We would go to John Wells's house and very kindly set it on fire <3. Then we would go for a picnic or something idk.

I don't know most of you personally, so I don't want to be annoying and tag anyone that doesn't want to be tagged. I'd love to get to know more about you all though so I have someone to tag in the future!

[ginger-snap-talkin-nonsense]

hi. whore of babylon here. big fan of your work. just dropping by to preemptively say “NUH UH 😤😤” to any accusations that i might be associated with sitcom anon in any way. that clown does not speak for me 😤😤

A thousand apologies

[quasi-normalcy]

Anyways, my unpopular Babylon 5 opinion is that "Sic Transit Vir" is by far the worst episode of the series and probably one of the worst hours of TV that I've ever seen.

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

The execs cancel it because they don't like it and don't advertise it.

The execs can't follow it so they cancel it.

The execs don't like it so it gets cancelled.

The execs hate story, they hate customers, they hate TV, they hate everything. They are always to blame first and foremost because they are the ones who ultimately choose.

When Harlan Ellison wrote what would become The Starlost in the 70s, a five-season story-based tv show, he had to explain forced perspective to television executives. They then proceeded to unveil the secret that would be found in the final episode in the first episode. It got so bad he sought legal action to take his name off the project. It killed careers, and was flushed down the toilet after a dozen episodes of mind-numbing stupidity.

When J Michael Straczynski wrote one of the first, if not the first story-based TV shows, Babylon 5, in 1994, the execs CONSTANTLY tried to screw with it, and constantly wanted to kill it. Season 1 has a ton of buildup to a climactic ending. The execs believed it best to stop airing the second half of season 1 until the few weeks before season 2 began to air. All the momentum was gone, and to paraphrase JMS's words, they couldn't have killed that momentum harder if they had tried to cancel it outright. Babylon 5 went on to be one of the best sci-fi TV shows of all time. Some sources put it right up there with Star Trek and The Twilight Zone. Yet they tried their damndest to kill it.

TV execs hate story with a passion. I am half-convinced that all TV execs want is the 80s back, where they could crank out half-baked sitcoms people would gobble up for a decade. They want to put the story-based show genie back in the box. They hate story, they hate the LGBT+ community, they hate everything with a fiery passion. Everything that most critically-well-received TV series of the last ten years have had in spades.

Fans may complain, yet a lot of objectively terrible shows have stayed on the air. If it were only up to the fans, Rick and Morty would've gotten cancelled after the sauce fandom incident. Not to say the show is terrible, I'm saying that as a point against the ideas that fandom is linked to shows being cancelled.

Instead, it's the same problem facing a lot of the world, as a matter of fact. A ton of old farts, or their descendants, trying to recapture a time from the path that never really existed, yet in which they held a ton of power. How are you supposed to make a successful story in TV today? You're not. You're supposed to churn out mindless garbage.

how is anyone meant to tell an original story these days

you make a season of television. nobody watches it because they're scared to get attached in case it gets cancelled. so it gets cancelled

you make a season of television. it's the first part of a multi-season story. people complain that it feels unfinished. so it gets cancelled

you make a season of television. it's the first part of a multi-season story. you sacrifice the storytelling so that it at least has an ending in case it doesn't get renewed. people complain that it feels like it was forced towards an endpoint for the sake of it. so it gets cancelled

you make a season of television. it's the 19th reboot this decade of franchise xyz. the execs won't let you do anything new with it. it's soulless and predictable and relies entirely on self-referential humour and nostalgia. half of the people watching are hatewatching it and will slate you for ruining their favourite childhood show, but all publicity is good publicity. so it gets renewed for 6 seasons and a movie.
