What gives? Are they trying to burn off episodes for some reason? I know they have fewer episodes of their scripted shows than usual this season due to the virus, which means those could be returning later than they normally would. But airing three new episodes of <em>Millionaire<\/em> in a row on a night when it isn&#8217;t even normally on the schedule seems unusual. I like the show, but three hours at once feels like a lot. Why do you think this is happening? \u2014 <em>Jake<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> ABC hasn&#8217;t explained this stunt to my knowledge, but it&#8217;s a one-time thing, and episodes of <em>Millionaire<\/em> will continue airing regularly on Sundays until the Jan. 24 season finale \u2014 after which ABC airs the NFL Pro Bowl, sits out the Super Bowl and launches <em>American Idol <\/em>on Feb. 14. Can&#8217;t say if they were sitting on a surplus of episodes, but it keeps the lights on this week on a Wednesday when most of the competition is new, including the launch of another prime-time <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> show, Fox&#8217;s <em>Name That Tune<\/em>reboot, and another installment of CBS&#8217;s<em>The Price Is Right at Night<\/em>. (ABC&#8217;s Wednesday comedies return next week.) As you may have noticed, prime-time quiz and game shows are all the rage this week. ABC has a full night of premieres (<em>Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, The Chase, The Hustler<\/em>) on Thursday. With Alex Trebek&#8217;s final episodes of <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> also airing this week, that&#8217;s a lot of trivia and game play to keep up with.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"This_Light_Show_Was_Too_Crowded\"><\/span><strong>This <em>Light <\/em>Show Was Too Crowded<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>It was so inappropriate for ABC to feature its annual <em>The Great Christmas Light Fight<\/em>show\/contest this year. Not only were hundreds of people squashed together, but not one mask was worn. What are your thoughts on this? \u2014 <em>Marilyn<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> The network made it known that these episodes were filmed last year, well before the pandemic. (They would have had to be.) While it can be jarring, some viewers take comfort in seeing things as they used to be, and I get that, but ABC might have provided more of a public service by reminding the audience that large gatherings like these are no longer a good idea. Personally, I&#8217;m more put off by the waste of energy in those elaborate displays, but that&#8217;s just my inner Grinch talking.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Blurring_Lines_Between_Movies_and_TV\"><\/span><strong>The Blurring Lines Between Movies and TV<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>I believe both TV and movie industries offer Academy Awards: one is called Oscar, the other Emmy. Is it old-fashioned snobbery calling the Oscars the Academy Awards and Emmy just plain Emmy? Also, you have chastised me in the past for not accepting all the cyber offerings in the same family as TV or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>. Can you please explain how, for example, Netflix differentiates a TV movie from a movie? I see that sometimes they go for the Emmy, other times for the Oscar. How is that determined? \u2014 <em>Mary<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> There are separate motion picture and television academies that administer their respective awards, but I&#8217;ve never heard the Emmys referred to as the &#8220;Academy Awards,&#8221; which has always been the highbrow way (not sure it&#8217;s &#8220;snobbery&#8221;) to refer to the Oscars. It&#8217;s a fair question, though, about the difference between TV movies and theatrical releases, a line that admittedly has become much more blurred during the pandemic with studios releasing more titles to streaming services or On Demand while many movie theaters remain dark. Netflix had been muddying that distinction even earlier, with its short window between theatrical release and streaming debut.<\/p>\n<p>I see it from a different perspective, because Netflix <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly doesn&#8217;t make their &#8220;movies&#8221; (including recent films like <em>Mank, Ma Rainey&#8217;s Black Bottom <\/em>and<em> The Midnight Sky<\/em>) available for review to TV critics the way they do long-form programming, series and some documentaries. The exceptions are those that are pretty much indistinguishable from TV movies, like Dolly Parton&#8217;s Christmas movie, lighter rom-coms or stand-alones within anthologies like <em>Black Mirror<\/em>. I\u2019ve served (and am serving) on several nominating committees, and nearly everyone\u2019s confused by this distinction. I figure that if Netflix didn\u2019t offer it to me for preview, they see it as a \u201cmovie.\u201d Which applies to most of them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Howling_About_Coyote%E2%80%98s_Move_to_Streaming\"><\/span><strong>Howling About <em>Coyote<\/em>&#8216;s Move to Streaming<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>I thought that the upcoming <em>Coyote<\/em> with Michael Chiklis was supposed to be on the Paramount Network, but it&#8217;s now going to CBS All Access. What&#8217;s up with that??? Isn&#8217;t the Paramount Network also more affiliated with NBC and not CBS? Case in point: All three seasons of <em>Yellowstone<\/em> are now streaming on Peacock, and as a Comcast subscriber at least I could have seen it at no additional charge. In finality, if I now want to see this, it will cost me an additional $6 a month charge \u2014 how totally disgusting!!! \u2014 <em>JV<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> It&#8217;s all so confusing, but this is the direction the industry is headed. It&#8217;s really already there; witness how National Geographic&#8217;s remake of <em>The Right Stuff<\/em>was co-opted by Disney+ once those brands merged. In terms of affiliations, though, don\u2019t be confused by who snaps up rights to individual shows, because it doesn&#8217;t always make sense. <em>Yellowstone<\/em> was licensed to Peacock, but Paramount is Viacom is CBS, and the move of <em>Coyote<\/em> to streaming was at least as much about the transition of the Paramount Network into an all-movie network, though <em>Yellowstone<\/em> will remain as its sole weekly series. (Complicating things further: Sometime in 2021, CBS All Access will be rebranded as Paramount+, got that?)<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wouldnt_It_Be_Fine\"><\/span><strong>Wouldn&#8217;t It Be Fine?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>I&#8217;ve been watching <em>L.A.&#8217;s Finest<\/em> on Fox, and while not the best show, it was something to watch. Is there any word on whether Fox will air Season 2 or be available on a streaming platform? I&#8217;d at least like to see how it plays out, even though it&#8217;s been canceled for a season 3. \u2014<em>Dawn<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> Hard to say. This acquisition, like many this fall, was a result of Fox not being able to get its regular series, like <em>9-1-1<\/em>, back on the air because of pandemic production delays. It&#8217;s entirely possible we&#8217;ll see more disruption to the schedule later this year, maybe into the summer, so this would be a cost-effective way to program something new-ish into the lineup. The ratings weren&#8217;t great for <em>Finest<\/em>, but all things considered, Fox might need it. For now, though, no word on its return on Fox or its future on streaming.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Great_Race_Debate\"><\/span><strong>The Great <em>Race<\/em> Debate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Comment<\/strong>: I agree with Larry&#8217;s recent comments regarding<em>The Amazing Race<\/em>and &#8220;alliances.&#8221; The proper reading and interpretation of clues is an integral part of the program and sorts the players out. As a whole, that part of the test was a failure for most of the players. (Must have been written in cursive!) Problem sharing and free answers should be rewarded with 20- to 60-minute penalties just like getting to the next challenge via the wrong means used to be. \u2014 <em>Dave<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush: <\/strong>It really did feel like cheating on a test, didn&#8217;t it? I like that idea, of monitoring and penalizing those who didn&#8217;t complete a challenge on their own steam. Most of my mail has been against the way the alliances played out this season. But as always, there&#8217;s an alternate view, expressed by Judy, who writes: &#8220;In regards to this season&#8217;s <em>Amazing Race<\/em>, I enjoyed the alliance this season. They were amazing. I do not think it is unfair, it is smart play. I have been a steady viewer for many years. There is gloating every season, as well as arguing and cattiness. But we also see plenty of support, trust, confidence and just plain fun. It is a game. Let them play the game!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m OK with strategizing (even when I don&#8217;t agree) on who to U-Turn and so on, but I can&#8217;t help wondering if the members of the alliance who didn&#8217;t win the $1 million might not now regret being so helpful to their competitors. If it had been each team for itself, who can say who might have won?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now.
