However, with pilots down this most recent cycle in all the major production centers except tax-incentive lucrative Louisiana, a jump in straight-to-series orders by cable outlets and the streaming services might be part of the problem.

I know what you're thinking, but I'm going to say it anyway. What TV needs is more smart and sassy brilliant females, blacks, latinos, gays, lgbtwhatever, and idiotic retarded racist incompetent white males. How could they lose? :)

Still filming a ton o stuff here. I see the signs for production trucks every single day on side streets and corners. Lots of stuff in Santa Clarita too.

Yeah, I really don’t think there is going to be a downturn in producing entertainment in the L.A area amytime soon.

OK, work with me here. A reboot of Hogan's Heroes, only the good guys are gays, lesbians, transgenders, and Antifa members and the bad guys are white male Republicans. Trump is Hitler, get it? And they could do sabotage missions under the leadership of a mysterious woman ex-Presidential candidate who was cruelly cheated of her rightful due and is now the leader of The Resistance. Hillary's Heroes, get it?

Yeah, I like it too. Let's do lunch.

TV is a wasteland.

I watch some sports, and some cooking shows. That is all.

It’s “The Kaepernick Syndrome” - just happening at a slower pace so Hollywood can remain in denial.

It is amazing how many shows are set in Louisiana. Some one in that state government is doing a great job.

I generally agree about the vast wasteland, but enjoy a few shows. Just finished Season 5 of Last Man Standing. Pretty funny show. Also like Blue Bloods.

If they read this, I’d be willing to bet they’d pick it up in a heartbeat. They are just that scummy.
