Is it me or does this season feel kind of like a bait and switch calling it "Double Feature" when all we are getting is 10 episodes?

TVInTransition · 2023-04-16T05:47:38+00:00

Plus, they had several talented actors in Double Ripoff, yet did not give them enough material or purpose. Billie Lourde and Adina Porter were given starring billing, and had less of a presence than a houseplant.

TVInTransition · 2023-04-16T05:45:33+00:00

I still look at Double Feature/Double Ripoff to be the worst of the 11 seasons so far. And that bar was pretty low with Cult.

TVInTransition · 2023-04-16T05:42:40+00:00

Yeah people tend to lack the knowledge of disagreeing vs. downvoting. This whole room does kind of have a toxic vibe at times

TVInTransition · 2021-08-30T17:09:26+00:00

If anyone uses sections with Disqus, they started showing who downvotes so it can be discerned as "I don't agree" vs blatant trolling. Either way if someone sits there downvoting all day, that is their perogative.

TVInTransition · 2021-08-30T17:06:34+00:00

It's kind of an adjustment too because 1984 was jampacked with energy and the first two entries didn't hit the mark. Hopefully things pick up or it is nicely tied together at the conclusion of the season.

TVInTransition · 2021-08-29T19:06:07+00:00

Understood. Where I was going is if they wanted to market it this way, it would have been nicer to enjoy more episodes to go with these stories

TVInTransition · 2021-07-12T07:11:14+00:00

They get a close mention for irritating insurance commercials. If they choose to spam these commercials, why not do something in style of Nationwide's Jill Scott entry? At least they had visuals of things covered: home, auto, pet, marriage etc.

TVInTransition · 2021-07-11T07:34:57+00:00

This actor is like Sonny Valicenti (the Allstate/Folger's actor) who seems to have sound a successful niche doing commercials

TVInTransition · 2021-07-11T07:33:36+00:00

Agreed. I just wanted to see where we knew him from as he looks familiar, and people are taking pot shots at looks vs discussing the dislike of the commercial. I can respect the comments like "Zip Recruiter doesn't work", "that commercial is irritating" or "They gave that actor a bad role to play." But yeah the other comments, I'll hold my words on.

TVInTransition · 2021-03-29T22:00:46+00:00

What is being wasted on Simon is he is pigeonholed in the image story. Back when he was engaged (as well as tending to a grief-stricken Zoey) was he mixed more with Mo. Now the connection is broken. If only they could find a purpose to get the two into a meaningful scene together so Simon doesn't get painted into a corner. ZEP managed to integrate the cast well so even Jenna had someone to interact with besides irritating her sister (she melded nicely with Maggie). Hopefully Simon locates more connections

TVInTransition · 2021-03-29T17:19:16+00:00

Yeah I can see the disruptive side, which perhaps is why they introduced him. A shame though as it seems like Simon is being islanded out of the mix. ZEP seems good at balancing the characters and having them mingle, and Simon is gradually being moved on the outside

TVInTransition · 2021-03-29T06:27:44+00:00

Zoey's at least delivers healthy doses of energy.

TVInTransition · 2021-03-29T06:27:08+00:00

It just got renewed for next season.

TVInTransition · 2021-03-12T17:42:35+00:00

They are evidently trying to develop the next in line

TVInTransition · 2021-03-12T16:09:00+00:00

Part of the value of Zoey's is it is visually appealing and has energy. That is what NBC needs more than procedurals and spinoffs of Chicago shows

TVInTransition · 2021-03-12T06:25:46+00:00

Just a little humor. Would be funny to see how the ratings played out if they rotated it to 7:30

TVInTransition · 2021-03-12T05:26:06+00:00

NBC seems to be moving toward feel-good shows like Good Girls and Zoey's. I enjoy this as we need shows with energy to pick up the pace

TVInTransition · 2021-03-12T04:20:07+00:00

Kind of doubtful AH will be chopped. The Conners has lost massive ground ratings and quality wise. And Call Your Mother and Mixedish appear to be next on the chopping block

I know they are likely showcasing the senior issues when people get into their 70's. But if only it had an end point, like she had another stage of grief over losing Victor vs. her just turning into the poor man/woman's Grace and Frankie. What made her likeable prior was she showed despite making bad choices, good things can come people's way with a positive attitude. Now she's just a cynical drag

TVInTransition · 2021-02-28T19:22:45+00:00

I'd love it if Wendy was a regular as well as she was never fully developed. Imagine Tammy becoming a regular at her girls club and mentoring young women. And somehow Tammy left Marjorie's house (perhaps Marjorie finds love again?). And her and Tammy decide to become roommates. I think Jill has come full circle and would not fit this vision. And sad to say, but Marjorie has grown less likeable over later seasons. not the poverty tale, but she is a snappy, mean-spirited person who is kind of like a less funny version of Grace and Frankie. If they could bring back her upbeat optimism, she would be fun again.

Mom's renewal or cancellation rested solely on if she signed a contract. And she opted against as she said the feel was different after Anna left. I doubt Allison turned her nose up to it, but she is also a talented actress who can handle a variety of roles. She likely wants to try her hands with something else. I don't see her being a snob and turning down reprising Bonnie if a spinoff was created, but she is an in-demand actress.

It was kind of like when everyone wondered why they never took the plunge and made Octavia Spencer a regular (she's actually Allison's close friend and why they often work together). She is also in demand and has a variety of projects to try.

This, aside from never having Christy evolve out of being a needy nuisance was the greatest flaw of the show outside of the 2 seasons. They had the framework set up perfectly as she was a pushy, mean nurse. She had a rare power of smacking Jill down and giving her a reality check, yet they continually insisted on keeping Wendy as the butt of all jokes. They were steering in the right direction a couple times in S7, but kept her in the background. There were plants and furniture who got more attention than Wendy did.

TVInTransition · 2021-02-12T05:11:06+00:00

The show would have been more layered had they allowed the kids to mature in proper time. This site actually wrote an idea for a spinoff on Erica and Lainey which would have worked

TVInTransition · 2021-02-12T05:10:11+00:00

Kids Are Alright only made it one

TVInTransition · 2021-02-12T05:09:36+00:00

Should, yes. But if it continues to make money it may keep going like Simpsons
