The Lookback : The Brady Bunch : Spin offs

The Flashback 

   Here's  a story  of  a TV show  , called the Brady Bunch ,  the series began in 1969 and ran until 1974  (Pretty Much Nixon's presidency )  , but  that wouldn't stop the Bradys.
    That brings us to the spin offs (or revivals or something) , we already talked of one .. "The Brady Kids"  that was in our  "Animated versions of live-action shows" article  and that one ran around the same time as original series.  The shows we are talking about ... well didn't.

    1. The Brady Bunch Hour
 It's 1976 ( yay , bicentennial ,baby!)  and it's been about 2 years since the Brady Bunch ended.   ABC decided they want them back.    Everybody came back , except for Eve Plumb (Jan Jan Jan )  who was replaced by Geri Reischl .
                                                          
                                                        Jan went away for one year and came back...different 
  Instead of it being  sitcom or anything it was  a variety show.   ABC first tired this idea with The Brady Bunch Variety Hour on November 28, 1976 ,the ratings were good enough for ABC and they  made it a series with  the word variety taken out and it aired between January-May 1977 in various  times with 8 episodes.    It was produced by Paramount (who also are producers of original Brady Bunch) and Sid and Marty Kroft.   The idea came from  ABC's head at the time Fred Silverman (the guy who didn't any farm shows on CBS anymore)   he wanted to reunite the Brady cast.   4 members came on the popular  Donny and Marie Show  , that made great ratings so they  tried this variety show thing.  
    Since this is a variety , and most of these things are shows with skits , singing and dancing numbers it's not  like a sitcom or drama where the episodes had to have a strong plot line.  They had some sort of premise for the show  where Mike Brady founds that ABC wanted him and his family for a variety show . (Inside Joke?)  He gives up his job and moves the family to a beach house in Southern California.  ( San Diego?)
       The series ran for  9 episodes and then ended.

2. The Brady Girls get Married (or The Brady Brides)
    Ever wonder if Bobby got married ?( he was the best character besides Alice...this is called bias)
 Well that had nothing to do with this ,  in 1981  NBC wanted some Brady fun ( just  not on Supertrain)  so they had a Brady movie made. Well it was going to be a movie but NBC decided to let it go longer so they broke up the movie to 3 parts airing in 30 minute increments. This was called The Brady Girls get Married.  There was more they then stared a new sitcom called  The Brady Brides .  This is the one time everyone from the original cast (except the dog) was  together for something Brady related.   We also find out what happened after the original series (the Variety show ,thankfully didn't count)  Mike is still an architect , Carol is now a real-estate agent.  (He designs them , she sells them)  Marcia is a fashion designer ( it's like houses but with clothes) , Jan is also an architect, Greg became a doctor , Peter is in the Air force , (why does no one have an office job or something they hate or something?) . Bobby and  Cindy are in College. (Possibly becoming lawyers?)   Alice got married to Sam.  The Movie  was about Jan and Marcia's double wedding. (saves on having to do another movie)    The series was about Marcia and Jan living together with their husbands.  (because it saves on sets?)

 Carol and Mike are not shocked they are sharing a house.  /Copyright Paramount

NBC ANNOUNCES SUMMER TENTPOLE PREMIERE DATES, LED BY THE MOST-WATCHED SUMMER SHOW OF THE LAST NINE YEARS, ‘AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’

“American Ninja Warrior” (May 25), “AGT” (May 26), David Duchovny’s 1960s Drama “Aquarius” (May 28) and Critically Beloved “Hannibal” (June 4) All Receive Their Launch Dates
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — March 6, 2015 — NBC has announced premiere dates for its summer tentpole programming, including the #1 most-watched summer show of the past nine years, “America’s Got Talent.”“AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR” – Monday, May 25, 8-10 p.m.The action-packed series follows competitors as they tackle a series of challenging obstacle courses in both qualifying and finals rounds across the country. Those that successfully complete a course in their designated region move on to the national finals round in Las Vegas, where they face a stunning four-stage course modeled after the famed Mt. Midoriyama in Japan. Matt Iseman serves as host, along with former NFL player Akbar Gbaja Biamila (NFL Network).“American Ninja Warrior” delivered a 2.0 rating, 6 share in adults 18-49 and 5.9 million viewers overall last summer and was up versus the prior summer by +11% in 18-49 rating (2.0 vs. 1.8) and up +7% in total viewers (5.9 million vs. 5.6 million). The Sept. 9, 2014 season finale improved versus the year-earlier finale by +20% in adults 18-49 (1.8 vs. 1.5) and +31% in total viewers (5.3 million vs. 4.0 million).“AMERICA’S GOT TALENT” — Tuesday, May 26, 8-10 p.m.NBC’s top-rated summer series “America’s Got Talent” celebrates its landmark 10th season with the hottest performers from across the country competing for America’s vote. Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel return as judges and Nick Cannon returns as host.With the talent search open to acts of all ages, “America’s Got Talent” has brought the variety format back to the forefront of American culture by showcasing unique performers from across the country. The series is a true celebration of the American spirit, featuring a colorful array of singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, jugglers, magicians, ventriloquists and hopeful stars, all vying for their chance to win America’s hearts and the $1 million prize.Last year, for the first time in the show’s history, America chose a magician as their winner: Rhode Island native Mat Franco, who went on to headline the “America’s Got Talent Live” stage show in Las Vegas.“America’s Got Talent” last summer averaged a 2.7 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 with its Tuesday and Wednesday editions and 11.6 million viewers overall, according to “live plus seven day” results from Nielsen Media Research. The Wednesday and Tuesday telecasts finished #1 and 2 among summer shows in total viewers, marking the ninth time in nine years “Talent” has ranked #1 among summer series in total viewers.“AQUARIUS” — Thursday, May 28, 9-11 p.m.; beginning Thursday, June 4 at 9-10 p.m.It’s 1967 and the era of free love, drug experimentation and Vietnam is in full effect. When Emma (Emma Dumont, “Salvation”), the teenage daughter of a respected lawyer, goes missing, LAPD Sgt. Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny, “Californication,” “The X-Files”) starts asking around. He soon discovers that the hippie kids he’s questioning don’t take kindly to cops, especially a cop with hair as short as his.Needing the help of someone to trust, he partners with young undercover cop Brian Shafe (Grey Damon, “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters,” “Friday Night Lights”), a law-abiding officer who struggles with his own demons. He also begins to rely on Charmain Tully (Claire Holt, “Vampire Diaries,”  “Pretty Little Liars”), an ambitious rookie cop who’s anxious to prove herself in a male-dominated profession.It’s not long before they stumble upon a small-time cult leader seeking out vulnerable women to join his cause. From there, they follow this man’s trail down a rabbit hole of drugs, sex, murder and a cultural revolution. Little could they know, however, the guy they’re hunting will eventually become the killer we now recognize as Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony, “Game of Thrones”) — a lost soul who desperately wanted to get into the music scene of the ’60s until something snapped.“Aquarius” will explore the cat-and-mouse game between Manson and the police in those turbulent years leading up to the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders.“HANNIBAL” — Thursday, June 4, 10-11 p.m.The dark and haunting series “Hannibal” returns for a third season, revealing the fates of characters hanging in the balance, and their continuing psychological cat-and-mouse games. After the shocking events of the season finale, Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen, “Casino Royale”) is on the run in Europe — accompanied by his psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson, “The X-Files”) — sporting a new identity, but servicing the same insatiable appetite. As the lives of Will (Hugh Dancy), Jack (Laurence Fishburne, “The Matrix,” “CSI”) and Alana (Caroline Dhavernas, “Wonderfalls,” “The Pacific”) converge toward Hannibal again, their deadly dance turns in startling and unexpected ways, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Things to Look at for the TV and the Media in 2015

Opinions  TV Media 

   Goodbye 2014,  and that means that are are entering a new year  and that means a whole new year in anything can happen in world of TV and the media, we are taking a look at things that could possibly happen in the new year.

1. Cable Company Mergers 
  After the installation of  Tom Wheeler as head of the FCC last year, Comcast saw their chance to buy another cable company , Time Warner Cable, (no relation to Time Warner)  , the deal was announced early 2014 , but since it's a huge deal , even with a "friend in FCC" it's taking along time. If Comcast is allowed their prize it would be the biggest Cable company in the Untied States. There is also another deal up ... AT&T wants sat caster Direct TV, this deal was announced a few weeks after the Comcast one , this deal is also still be looked at.
         AT&T and Direct  TV have a better chance of their  marriage happening compared to  the other , though.   If Comcast-TWC is approved it would be a shock if AT&T -Direct TV is denied. If it's the  other way around , there's a better chance both would be denied.
   
2. Stand Alone TV 
     The Idea of al-a-carte Cable is a hard one ... but  that is not stopping CBS from launching a pay version  of CBS online where you can watch CBS programs on demand all you want and in areas where they own a TV station you can watch Live. HBO announced they are launching a streaming service for you folks with out the cable wires.
   What about the other networks?  Well , I don't See ABC doing that yet, but it could  , they currently have a deal  where you can go to Watch ABC sign in with your cable company (makes sense for a network TV doesn't it?) and watch their programs on demand and in markets where they own a station ,watch live online.  While ,they could launch a stand-alone service , that's not been announced yet.   NBC , well  they are owned by Comcast , would be interesting if NBC launched something like CBS all access  , but then again NBC would be getting money .   FOX ... is also  a network that could possibly launch one too.    In speaking of CBS, they are the owners of Showtime so maybe expect a stand-alone Showtime before stand-alone NBC.   Wait , a second  ... they are.
    Interesting , if everyone does it ... you might as well pay for cable.

3. Late Night TV 
  Apparently after ABC and NBC decided to switch up line ups in late night ,CBS hopped into the fun.  David Letterman is leaving the "The Late Show " and being replace by Stephan Colbert. While "The Late Late Show" host Craig Ferguson is leaving and being replaced by a man named James Cordon.
    So now CBS , which has been the stable of the networks ,  ( sorry NBC)  is in a through of change at late night.  Some questions happen  will  Stephen Colbert ( who be playing himself and not the guy on Comedy Central)  be good  at a late night  talk show format  or will viewers leave to watch "Friends" reruns on the local CW /Mynetwork/ FOX/whatever station?  It's always gamble to change hosts at late night and hard to predict. (That's our way of weaseling out of a question, also we watch  Friends repeats anyway)

4. Cable Fights  
   Two words , expect more.  Cable fights we mean  are the ones between a network or company and a cable or sat caster.   There have been many for the past few years, I say expect more and the fun blame game.  Company A owns TV channels wants more money , even if some of their channel suck  Company B  is a provider worried about losing you as their  money feeders (that's a word)  and they fight even if it's a penny. In many cases channel(s)  get pulled  and it's a wait and see between who will give up first. Company B who  keeps getting angry calls , or Company A who is losing viewers.     There should be  a way to stop this , but apparently nobody is trying hard.   Many times in a fight there are multiple channels  pulled . Example : Time Warner vs Dish Network  :  Cartoon Network, CNN, HLN , TCM ,and Tru TV were pulled. If some one hates all these channels  they probably didn't mind then  as long the they weren't being charged for them .  But if someone hates Tru TV but loves TCM (Turner Classic Movies) ,they  felt bad.   Will these stop? No , unless someone figures out a better system.  (Don't shout NetFlix , that's not what we mean)

5. Easy Prediction ... the rest aren't  
     The Simpsons Won't be canceled...  well that got your attention .  Will "American Idol" be canceled?  The show has been  going down on ratings ... but if It makes Fox  money , it could go on until the ratings are really bad or it has a red year.    Today Show won't be  #1 in 2015, the Today Show on NBC probably won't be  the #1 morning show (national average) in 2015 either  the "Good Morning America" time in the #1 sun for maybe another year.  CBS This Morning , on the other hand , could maybe tie 2nd ( this is an outlier , and a maybe a crazy one   ).
  "ABC World News Tonight " (or the softest of the Evening News on the networks)  will either be fighting for 1st with NBC Nightly News or beating by the end of 2015.  CBS Evening News will continue  to grow though.
    Anyway these were some predictions most of them  were cop-outs (Cough American Idol) , others were  crazy  and one was easy.

6. Buying Up  less 
     After a couple years of Big TV deals like Sinclair Broadcast group buying Allbritton in 2013 (took  late summer 2014 for the deal to be official) , Granett Buying Belo, and in 2014,  Media General merging with Lin and  Scripps buying Journal . 2015, could mean a quieter year on that front, there may still be some buyings of stations and smaller groups, unless another big company wants to quit the world of local TV ownership or something.  Also in the bigger world ,there is probably not another chance of Murdoch  trying to buy Time Warner but anything can surprise.  AMC networks did buy a stake in BBC America,  hopefully that means BBC World News in the US can expand and maybe the HD channel more available soon.

 7. More Internet TV 
  It's been a good time for Netflix , Hulu and the others as they release programs , in some cases the whole season at one time, to  their paying subscribers to watch  anytime they want ( Friday at 8:43:22 AM)  well , expect more of that , Amazon is even in that game.    On the other side,  since the Aereo case , don't expect anybody wanting to try the live stream local tv online deal anymore, unless a station group and or the networks  make a deal to stream online. ABC and CBS do ... but you have to live in a city where ABC and CBS own that station , hopefully other station groups could and will make a deal.

Happy 20th Birthday! Turner Classic Movies

Turner Classic Movies   TV 
          April 14th , 2014  marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of Turner  Classic Movies  ,  here at Joshuaonline we are wishing  this channel a Happy anniversary.   Unlike other cable channels that launched with a purpose  then changed it's focus sometimes ( We are looking at you AMC, TV Land, Nick at Nite,  The Weather Channel , FXM , HLN (at least they changed the name) ,  Tru TV ( at least they changed the name ) , MTV , etc. )  Turner  Classic Movies has stayed true to it's mission to air  classic movies from the silent movies to early talking to 30's, 40's and 50's  and stayed  commercial free    showing  different generations of  viewers classic movies  and classic stars  that help make the movies something  people enjoy to watch even now. With so many movies and types from the past you will also find a treat .
          Turner Classic Movies   has for the past 20 years been a great movies network  that even their presentation makes things feel special.  They have hosts that give you  information on the movies, the actors and other interesting facts ,they air original trailers for movies that will be airing on the channel.
         For it's 20th anniversary we are glad that they have stayed  doing it's classic movies format  , after AMC gave up in 2002, and  Fox Movies was  remade as FXM airing newer movies ,still airing classics from 3AMET-3PMET (for now).  It's also stayed commercial free and has always something to view. It's a great thing to see movies from the earliest age of movies when they didn't know what they were doing but did something good. It's also good to see the "bad" classic movies that still are a treasure.
     So with that  we say Happy Birthday TCM! , Thanks for airing the classic movies and let's hope that continues for the next 20 years.

12 Days of Simpsons ...now that's a marathon

TV  The Simpsons 

wikipedia

   Woo Hoo! , always wanted to start a post with that.   FXX ,which will start airing the Simpsons repeats in August will start their repeats with at 12 day marathon , as the  Chief executive of FX Networks, Jon Landraf said at the upfront "It will be the longest continuous marathon in the history of television". (source: Variety)  So cancel all your plans and sleep.
   FXX paid $750 million  for the cable rights to the Simpsons, which has never been on American TV cable syndication .  They will be airing episodes  alot , we think. That will also start after the marathon.

Happy 35th Birthday , Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon  TV 

     On this day in 1979 ,  Nickelodeon launched as  children's channel on cable and satellite , you know the early  days of cable , as a children's channel that broadcast  about 12 hours a day.   The idea of a children's channel fit in  the world of cable where many single genre channels were being launched before and after Nickelodeon came to be. Before then  children , could really only get children's programming  in the Saturday/ Sunday Mornings .and if they were lucky they had some independent channels doing some in the afternoon and mornings on weekdays. Also, unlike  children's on over the air TV (PBS not with standing)  it didn't have commercials.    Anyway  , in it's early days it broadcast repeats of older shows   and acquired new shows   like "You can't do that on Television".
       

      The channel broadcast for about 13 hours by 1983 , so after 9PMET /6PT it went to bed  but it helped spawn something else  ARTS  channel would take the night-shift   this would  later merge with Entertainment Network  and become A&;E (back then it was a watchable channel before 2005-ish) .   It later dropped that an launched another  once great project   in 1985 ,  Nick at Nite , which still exists .  Eventually expanding into more  younger children  Nick Jr. , which exists today as it's own 20 hour - a day channel .

     That was the 80's , now  the 90's ( which I think comes after the 80's ) Nickelodeon  set up it's footing and was forming it self in the 80's  , it did have original programs in the 80's but the 90's is what many people remember.   One thing that 90's Nickelodeon   is well remembered for  is it's 90's cartoons  , or properly called  Nicktoons.   August 11 , 1991, was the date they launched their first 3 animated series :  Doug, The Rugrats and Ren and Stimpy.   They also had programs such as ,  "Clarissa Explains it All" , Are you Afraid of the Dark, and  All That.    Many people who grew up in that age say this was the golden age of Nickelodeon.    In the 2000's they continued to create more programs  that kids now continue to love and watch.  Nickelodeon  has continued to be recognized name and has expanded into extra channels ,Nicktoons, Teennick , Nick Jr, and Nick Mom.   Nick at nite still continues ,even though it stopped being the home of classic shows.  But it airs Full House ,that's classic now.
   
So happy Birthday to you Nickelodeon.

That is 7 airings.  (each one is two hours)

Eh.. I am a more a  cat person.
   Oh , there is a  Kitty  Half time show in the Puppy Bowl ...with  this year's guest Keyboard Cat.
 If that's not enough Cat time for you , well don't fret.  Hallmark Channel Announced last year that they will be having a Kitten Bowl , the first event  starts this Sunday.  It will air at 12PMET  on Hallmark Channel ( if you have the West Coast Feed  it's at 12PM PT) . It will broadcast  4 showings  for 12 hours.

A look Back at TV and Media Trends of 2013

A Look Back   Opinions 
 Written By Skyler

   2013 was an interesting year in the world of TV and Media  we look at some trends we noticed this year.

 1.   More Cable News Channels
  Even though, cable news channels   had a down rating year ,    there was a launch of some new news channels  and the adding of some that have been around.
   Al Jazeera made it's splash first  : on January 2nd this year they announced  they were buying Al Gore's Liberal talk channel , Current TV.   Al Jazeera Media which launched  Al Jazerra English  in 2006 was trying to get the news network into America since launch but has face troubles getting it on cable systems.  The closest it got was broadcasts on public tv channels,  some 24/7 using digital sub channels  and online.  Though the announcement that  they were buying  Current caused some cable companies like Time Warner Cable  to drop Current.  ( Though later  Time Warner Cable added Al Jazeera America. )  Al Jazeera America was launched  August 20th , it was made as a news channel that would focus on American news with international news splashed in.  Most of the programming is done in the United States they hired anchors and reporters.  Only a few Al Jazeera English programs and newscasts air on the channel.   The Channel is different than what you would see on CNN, Fox News ,and MSNBC.  No talking head lead opinion shows , sometimes long form stories,  more news broadcast programs.  If it will last is still to be known and what holds for the network in 2014  is unknown.
   Another channel , though  had less press than Al Jazeera America  was One America News Network , this network is owned by the owners of Wealth TV  Herring Broadcasting  and  The Washington Times , it was launched as a new channel to also have conservative leaning talk shows , it so far was not on alot of Cable systems.  Though did land a cable later this year.
    When ABC News and Univision announced in 2012  that they were going to launch a channel together it  may have been a surprise and also made some wonder what or how the channel would be.  The idea of the channel is a target audience of young English speaking Latinos with a news and lifestyle channel.  It replaced ABC's unloved news channel  ABC News Now.    So far not known how the channel is fairing, there  of course might be more programs and expansion in 2014.
   We wonder if any more news channels will be launched in 2014 , also as BBC World news and other internationals also get expansion in the US  it's a good thing that more news channel opitions are opening for viewers especially if viewers are tired of CNN, MSNBC , and Fox News Channel .

 2.   Binge Watching
     Usually  the word "binge"  has a bad connotation to it  but this year the continuation of the concept of "Binge-viewing " . Netflix , Hulu and others have been adding  shows they are bought for the use on exclusive on their services. For instance when  Netflix brought back the long-canceled  FOX show " Arrested Devolpment" the whole  season was  available  to stream   so a viewer could watch the show their own way including  the whole season in a day.  Usually on physical television ? , maybe linear, you have to wait maybe a week for the new episode of your show the idea of being able to watch a whole season might be more fun.
    It also shows a trend of people choosing to watch television on at random time on their own time. We see this trend of having mere online original shows   continuing in 2014 , along with people  watching TV their time and ways.  Though , if you are cord- cutter it maybe a little harder to  follow some of your network favorites  ABC is joining Fox  in soon only letting cable subscribers  watch their programs online.  (Though still appearing free on part Disney owned Hulu.)  or you would have to wait a week for it to be free on Watch ABC.  For now , the CW, NBC and CBS are still free but we'll see what 2014 brings.
    Cable companies are now offering perks to make sure you stay for instance ,watching channels live through their websites and apps. Comcast announced they will adding  channels to watch outside the home on apps.  Many channels themselves like Disney Channel , have also added ways for you watch their programs on websites and apps Live and full episodes.

   3.   Local Stations up for grabs
      This is more of interesting trend was this year  was  companies  that own local stations buying other companies that own local TV stations.  For instance , Sinclair  which owns a lot of stations in the first place , bought  some stations from Cox , the bought the company Barrington  , it bought Seattle based Fisher Communications ,  Allbritton was  also  purchased .  Gannett also went on it's own  shopping  buying up Belo's tv stations  (except for 3) .   Tribune company , who emerged from bankruptcy late last year, bought Local TVLLC , a company the Tribune worked with anyway so it might have well just bought it.  Hoak was sold to  Grey TV.     There could be chance for more in 2014 and also makes  a wonder why so many are being sold.  It is causing the shrinkage of the market though  , and could also make more fights with  cable companies affect larger amounts of people .  If anything it probably is not the end of this.
