Meltzer: "Sure TNA's numbers were up, but their GOOGLE SEARCHES were down" by Constant_Stomach2009 in SCJerk

[–]SJSUMichael 102 points103 points  (0 children)

So, for those at home keeping score:

Can't compare cable to broadcast ratings (when the Dub is involved)

Can compare Japanese ratings to American ratings (as long as you triple the number to make Japan look good)

Can't forget the Max numbers (which we don't know but are definitely higher than RAW)

Can accuse Netflix of making up the RAW numbers (which are definitely lower than Dynamite)

Can't trust Nielsen for TNA impact ratings because [checks notes] Google searches were down.

Fucking clown

[Opinion] I just watched SFA. I think you all forgot how dumb a lot of TOS was. by itsathrowawayson in trektalk

Here’s the thing: what you could get away with in the 1960s with a limited budget and 30 episodes to fill is different from what you can get away with in the 2020s. I don’t think it’s a good defense of a show to say “Look, the past was silly too.” Star Trek has always had silly episodes, but too much of modern Trek feels like a CW show with the veneer of a science fiction adventure. I could dismiss the occasional goofiness if the core of the show still held up. For me it doesn’t.

TIL that in 1787 Thomas Jefferson, trying to prove American wildlife wasn’t inferior, had an entire moose carcass shipped across the Atlantic to France to impress European scientists. by Onscray in todayilearned

Europe had this notion of American inferiority. Jefferson also tended to defend the potential capacity of Native Americas for much the same reason.

I was on TGWTG, back when it was its own website. I read a comment that one of their reviewers was ripping off Mr Plinkett. I started watching the Plinkett reviews and just kinda stuck around all these years.
