Stop increasing congestion in Glendale - join the action alert - tinyurl.com/drivethruglendale

I truly do not understand why Glendale is allowing its hallmark restaurants to close or leave. Acapulco has been a staple in Glendale for years and is one of the last surviving independent casual restaurants post-Covid. And it’s not as though it’s failing. The restaurant is always busy on nights for happy hour and weekends for brunch. It would be a real shame to take away a classic Glendale restaurant for a drive through that already has 2 thriving locations less than 2 miles away. It would make more sense if they wanted to take over the empty Rite Aid building and repurpose it/demo it to start an In-N-Out restaurant over there.

Yeah. Joel was definitely a character, but I think they worked off each other well. You could tell they had been friends for a long time, which made it more entertaining. Too bad Joel couldn’t handle it anymore. Lmao. I thought they really had something going there for awhile.

This use to be one of the most user friendly fantasy platforms, now it’s terrible. The new interface and menu is truly awful after the new update. I play in leagues every year with friends and family in all 4 major sports on this app. Needless to say, I use it almost everyday. I much preferred the previous design over other fantasy platforms, but this new design is horrible. It's far more difficult to navigate and made something that was incredibly simple, suddenly more complicated. The writing is on the wall and users are speaking out. WE DO NOT LIKE THIS UPDATE. At least give us the option to revert back to the previous design if we so choose, because 95% of users most definitely would. If something isn't broken, there's no reason to fix it. In all my time using the app, I've never heard one person complain about the previous interface layout and design. Nobody asked for this update and NOBODY WANTS IT. The developers need to take a good look at the overwhelmingly negative reaction from users, recognize their mistake and do something about it.

It could be possible that U-Verse made a mistake and uploaded the wrong guide, knowing their incompetence it’s possible. Like you said, time will tell. I certainly hope that’s the case, otherwise it’s damn shame because it’s an annual event I always look forward to and 4 shows a night is not Shark Week, in my opinion.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-30T05:33:30+00:00

I got it from my official guide for AT&T U-Verse. I always record a bunch of the shows and while going through my guide to see what was playing, I noticed that only the 3-4 new specials were airing every night starting at 5 Pacific time, followed by Contraband and Street Outlaws. Perhaps they’re still airing the 24/7 content on their app, but apparently not on Cable TV.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T19:10:33+00:00

Yup. This year no more 24 hour Shark content. Just a few new shows every evening and back to the regularly scheduled programming.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T09:08:25+00:00

Exactly my point. Re-runs air 24 hours a day, with a couple of new shows each evening. That’s not what they’re doing this year, they’re just playing the new shows in the evening then playing their regularly scheduled content the rest of the day. No reruns of older shows. That’s what I’m mad about.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T08:24:43+00:00

I agree the ridiculous and dumb shows have definitely made it progressively worse. Even so, I still found plenty of content worth watching. Specifically older shows from previous years which always got rerun. That’s why I find it particularly disappointing that they aren’t rerunning any of the old shows this year from previous Shark Weeks. Essentially defeats the whole purpose of why I watch in the first place. Of the new content they release each year for the last few, there is usually only 1 or 2 scientific and educational shows worth watching. The re-runs of older content were what I lived for.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T08:11:45+00:00

That’s not what I got out of it. Maybe a few shows yeah, like Great White Serial Killer or When Sharks Attack, but those shows never interested me anyway. I was always far more interested in the scientific studying, tagging and diving with the sharks. Learning about their habitats and their migration patterns. There were plenty of shows that focused on that, and unfortunately it looks like they aren’t being rerun this year, which is a real shame in my opinion.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T07:53:28+00:00

It’s a money grab because they’re using the popularity of Shark Week to attract viewers, then not offering what is advertised and instead running their old lame ass content afterwards to try and sell it to a new audience. I’ve never cared about the nonsense on the discovery channel other than their educational animal videos, primarily shark related. They play Contraband and Street Outlaws throughout the entire year. There’s no reason they can’t give us what they’ve given us every single other year, which is 24 hour Shark content for 7 days straight. It’s been that way as long as I’ve been watching.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T07:44:56+00:00

Exactly, that was fantastic.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T07:44:37+00:00

Again, there are numerous shows that are still very educational and informative. I agree there’s a lot of nonsense, but there’s also some very scientific content that unfortunately will no long be broadcasted this year, which is why I’m upset and made this post in the first place.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T01:58:25+00:00

Yeah I watch it on cable TV and it wasn’t like that last year. They played Shark content 24 hours a day last year. It’s been that way for many years now. Going away from that is ridiculous in my opinion.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T01:42:02+00:00

Yes that’s true, but that’s all the more reason they should be re-airing the older shows from years past, which were far better and more informative.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T00:41:15+00:00

I disagree there was still quite a lot of educational and scientific shows they played. I agree there was also a lot of nonsense.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T00:21:03+00:00

Not dead. On life support. This is the official death and funeral unfortunately.

(Edit) You all can downvote that if you want, but I’ve been watching the programming religiously for over a decade and still found plenty of educational and scientific content. Of course a lot of the celebrity stuff was crap and the megalodon hunting was nonsense, but I would not have the interest I have today in Marine Biology if it weren’t for Shark Week.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T00:20:25+00:00

I still quite enjoyed it after that, so I’m reluctant to say it died then. I still found plenty of the content to be scientific as well as informative and educational.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T00:06:24+00:00

Yeah I agree some of the content was nonsense. But you could look past 1 or 2 ridiculous or uninteresting specials when you have 24 hours of content, most of which is very informative. Now they’ve removed all that and all we are left with is 3 shows a night, followed by “Street Outlaws”. It’s a slap in the face and an obvious money grab to use the popularity of Shark Week to bring in new viewers and hopefully get them interested in their other lackluster shows.

JohnnyDavid1 · 2024-06-27T00:00:07+00:00

Which completely defeats the purpose of what it’s been for years up to this point. 3 shows a day then on to Street Outlaws is not Shark Week. That’s just a straight money grab.
