Reply to Are we seeing the death of "TV" and no one is putting the pieces together? by [deleted]

Network TV has the top shows by far. It is just that r/television is too hipster to like popular shows and downvotes any talk of them.

The most popular shows are on network tv. And network tv makes money.

The streaming services all lose money except for Netflix.

What you are seeing is a streaming service bubble. With billions being spent to try to attract subscribers with the hope of becoming big enough to last.

Reply to comment by remarkablyoblivious in TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset

Right. Explorers would meet a tribe and ask who lived nearby. That tribe would then name the neighboring tribes. But they used their name for them. And explorers would use the name they first heard for a tribe.

You mean the shows and movies where a lot of men went on line and complained about the show or movie being for women and not men and rating bombed it?

What is shocking is that the men who devoted weeks of their lives to attacking those shows and movies did not claim credit for it afterwards and instead acted like they were on vacation that whole time.

Reply to What made Bones so bad and when did it start? by ResponsibilityOk5050

I like the later seasons much more than the first seasons - but for the same reasons.

In the later seasons the good characters are Sweets and the interns. Whereas those are largely missing in the first seasons.

I enjoyed Bones when watching it the first time, but on rewatch I find Bones and Booth's constant bickering to just be annoying. Less Bones and Booth makes the show much better.

No capital and a period at the end?

Is that some new form of a sentence?

Reply to comment by TheLeopardSociety in TIL that Santorio Santorio, an Italian Professor, Physician, qnd Physiologist weighed everything he consumed and excreted over a period of 30yrs in the study of Insensible Perspiration or what we know today as metabolism. by mfairview

You never know. Just like he was not sure of the benefits of recording all of this. Or Tycho Brahe was not sure of the benefits of all of the celestial observations he made and recorded.

We tend to discover that there is a lot to learn from big data. And most of it is things we did not expect to learn.
