    Re: Off Topic 2014

    Reality shows won't die down. Networks are in love with the idea of barely having to pay people at all. And only really having to pay 1 of the people on the reality show(in terms of all people who are on screen).

    Though I do wonder what impact(if any) Survivor will have the day it finally does end, since it was the show that launched the reality tv era that we have today, wonder if it dying would do anything at all.

    The big thing that was so good about those family sitcoms are that nobody on the show had to play some extremely unrealistic character, and watch each season felt diff cause characters were all getting older too so it was like watching the tv family growing up too and everyone having so much character development.

      I feel like family sitcoms haven't really been a legitimate contender for ratings since the early 90s and the TGIF block. Plus, there's the **** on TBS and Disney. Granted its mostly elementary stuff, but its not like there's nothing out there. Not to mention it seems like there is at least 3 or 4 new family sitcoms every year that all ultimately get the ax (Tim Allen, Michael J. Fox, **** My Dad Says, etc). Goldbergs comes to mind as a new one with potential.
      I think Tim Allen's show is still on, actually.

          They will if ratings tank, and aren't profitable.

          Yes, they obviously pay less to the people appearing on the show, but production costs still exist and they still have to pay writers. However, most networks capitalize and can cover those costs by the increased ad revenue.

          Now if people stop watching, advertisers will not want to air spots during those time frames, and that's when you will see networks cut some of these shows off. Will that happen? In time to an extent I'm sure, but reality TV will never completely die.

              You know what show is pretty good? The Neighbors. Comes on after Last Man Standing on ABC. Most times I bring up the show, no one knows what I am talking about. Will probably be canceled soon due to poor ratings.

                    Yeah and when people realize the drivel they're watching and get sick of it, which they will at some point because nothing lasts forever, the networks will have to adapt.

                    I can't tell you if that's in 3 years or 30 years but it will happen.

                              Anyone good with Excel (actually doing it on Google Docs Spreadsheet)? I'm trying to create a database of all the blu rays my friends and I own so we can know what everyone has for borrowing purposes. So I have a column of movie names, who owns it, and who has it. Is there any way to keep the rows on information locked together? Also is there a way to make a button or something so you can sort by any column you want?
