I flew to L.A. to find Britney Spears! 🤯 WHY ⁉ Back in 2011 my goal was to have my own T.V. show! 🚫 The problem - I had zero contacts, knowledge or reputation in the TV industry. ✅ The Solution - “Make so much noise you can’t be ignored!” - If I tried to recreate the same thing that already existed, it wasn’t going to cut through. I had to create something different, that “made noise” in order to get their attention. ➕ PLUS - people are inherently lazy…(even amazing TV execs). They need to be SHOWN what you can do….spoon-fed the solution. So I decided to use my savings to film and edit my own episodes so they can see exactly what I do! And it worked - slowly but surely, my videos got the attention of managers, TV Execs and eventually that led to my own TV Show. ❓ Question - What can you do to make noise? How can you spoon-feed a solution to people that need to hear it? If you have liked this post, please drop a like or hit that share button. #TV #tricked #speaker

🚀 Jon Stewart's return to conventional TV raises questions about audience retention in a changing TV landscape. As TV viewership declines, the focus shifts to digital platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Perhaps the real measure of success lies in the performance of Stewart's show clips on social media. There's an opportunity for Stewart to leverage Comedy Central's platform to gain social currency and reach diverse audiences. Will Stewart's comeback signify a significant shift in the TV industry's dynamics? #JonStewart #TVIndustry #DigitalPlatforms #ComedyCentral #SocialMedia #TVAudience #MediaDynamics

Who doesn't love most or some of these beloved, laughter and smile inducing 📺sitcoms? Annie --- There’s something uniquely satisfying about prime-time network comedies. Maybe it’s their self-contained nature, with most story lines introduced and resolved within a single episode. Maybe it’s their brevity, each half-hour studded with commercial breaks long enough to visit the kitchen or bathroom. Maybe it’s the comfort of entertainment conceived to elicit laughter from the broadest possible range of viewers. More likely, it’s all of the above. Which is why, although they’ve dwindled in number and declined in quality since cable and streaming started to erode Big 5 broadcasters’ dominance over the market for original scripted programming, network sitcoms’ absence has been felt amid a fall TV season delayed by strikes. And while the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have both ratified new agreements with the AMPTP, it could still take months for Hollywood to start cranking out television at its usual pace. With that in mind—and with holiday travel and downtime on the horizon—I’ve put together a sort of bucket list of network sitcoms, spanning from I Love Lucy through the present. ...READ More... #tvshows #sitcoms #streamingmedia #comedy #laughter Hon.

🚀 The Daily Show's audience has drastically shrunk and aged since Jon Stewart's departure in 2015, with a 75% drop in viewers and a median age increase from 48.2 to 63.3. This reflects a broader trend of TV audiences declining, particularly among younger viewers. Despite efforts to reach audiences on digital platforms like YouTube and TikTok, TV networks still rely heavily on traditional TV for revenue. The challenge now is for Comedy Central to revitalize the show's appeal and engage a younger audience. #MediaTrends #TVAudience #DigitalTransformation #ComedyCentral #TheDailyShow #JonStewart #TrevorNoah #BusinessInsider #DataAnalysis

Two-parters became the go-to move for films and television in the 2010s and early 2020s. From Harry Potter to Stranger Things to Breaking Bad, two-part movies and television seasons have embraced the waiting game (sometimes years) for finales. But is the trend decreasing interest in the properties?   "For an “Emily in Paris,” it’s nonsensical. The show is a runaway hit that plenty of viewers recognize as objectively bad, but that won’t stop them from coming back — nor will a two-part release prompt them to rewatch the series from the beginning or even refresh Season 4 Part 1 before September 12 (again, I have already forgotten and do not care to remember). The two-part release grates because it’s the most shameless thus far, unsuited to this specific show, and I suspect the results will be underwhelming compared to the benefits experienced by titles with higher production value."   https://lnkd.in/gExU-uYp

"Why does it happen that sometimes we believe we have previously seen a TV series as we explore it?" Sometimes, we may think that we have seen a TV series in the past because our brains can confuse familiarity with actual viewing experience. There could be several reasons for this phenomenon: 1. **Familiarity**: We might have heard about the show from friends, family, or social media, which creates a sense of familiarity even if we haven't actually watched it. 2. **Similarity**: The show might resemble another series we have watched, causing us to mix up the two in our memory. 3. **Previews and commercials**: We may have seen previews, trailers, or commercials for the show, which can create a false impression that we have watched the entire series. 4. **Cultural impact**: Some shows become so popular and widely discussed that their plots, characters, and catchphrases become part of mainstream culture. This can lead us to believe that we have watched the show ourselves, even if we haven't. In summary, the feeling that we have seen a TV series before can arise from confusion due to familiarity, similarity, exposure to previews, or the cultural impact of the show. Our brain may struggle to differentiate these experiences from actual viewing, leading to the perception that we have watched the series in the past. #TVSeries #FalseMemory #Familiarity #MemoryConfusion #TVFandom #CulturalImpact #TVShows #Misremembering

10 Best TV Shows To Turn Your Brain Off To

The fast-moving consumer media trend continues to pick up steam, and great stories will be the backbone for further monetization through micropayments. While subscription services will continue to grow, I think we all agree that there is some fatigue in that area where all large media companies are trying to build their own video streaming services to own more of the subscription fee. At some point, the ability to just pay for what you really want to watch and just have everything else through streaming will return. In the meantime, monetization of media through micropayments is still a largely untapped market, in a world where millions of people are already used to making 20 cents transactions through mobile wallets.

For those of us who remember, Bob Newhart was among the smartest and funniest comedians of this or any other generation. The finale to his 2nd “Newhart” television series is considered, not only among the best endings to a program ever but also the cleverest. If you have never seen it, check out the article below.
