@ohio-guy that seems like hope and conjecture. yellowstone again apparently generated almost 3/4 of a billion dollars in profits. i can see them saying as much. not a show losing 50 mil
I'm skeptical that the Late Show was actually losing that much money. Maybe it was...it just seems like that is some mismanagement of epic proportions.
What’s the acceptable annual loss to keep it around?
What’s the acceptable annual loss to keep it around?
I don't know. I'm just skeptical of the $40 million annual loss number.
@ohio-guy Yep. The only thing I watch at the time it’s on now is sports. My guess is that’s what most people do, and definitely young people. The last appointment tv I can remember where people all watched at the same time was Game of Thrones. May be a more recent, but I can’t think of one.
So does the number matter?
I think we’re talking about two different things here. If they’re actually losing money, no number is probably acceptable.
I don’t know a thing about his wife and I’m not saying anything about his wife. I’m not crossing any limits. if I tell you to stop harassing your boss, I’m not talking about your boss.Maybe you should survey your wife on the topic… is she interested in getting off?
Wives are off limits.
@ohio-guy if you can’t see that then you can’t possibly understand why the show was losing 40 mil a year

I don’t know a thing about his wife and I’m not saying anything about his wife.
Ahem...in chronological order b/c principles:
- "You really do need to take your wife shopping. She’ll even teach you where the front door is if need be."
- "Really, mcm, locate your wife’s g-spot and work it over. You’ve never given her a happy ending and you know it. Do it for her, for us, and above all for yourself before blow a gasket.
- "What you clearly don’t see is you’re an open book. Encouraging you to finally get your wife off is not making it personal..."
- "Maybe you should survey your wife on the topic… is she interested in getting off?"
So, a couple of things here....yes, you're saying things about his wife (which is funny since he remains unmarried). Secondly, no way you say this shit to any man in real life unless you're looking to get punched in the face. Period.
I mean, again, there are tons of reasons to pile on Mcmurtry. He's a pretty open book (to our great pleasure). But to sit here and say "I'm not saying anything about his wife" is delusional. And it's creepy. And you wouldn't do it in real life. So don't do it here.
@boogie Oh, another Lulu guy. Great. The testosterone continues to evaporate.
