Little House trailer; Visually, it's Hallmark - Instagram which is pleasant. Nice family message at the end. Combine that with the Friendly family wanting to be faithful to the books and I'm hopeful.
I hope they bring the "effort/work" feel that the original series had.

Smitten. What a neat film - The Night of the Comet.
Usmnt v Belgium averaged 533k - about 200k more than a run of the mill match these days on Turner networks (men or women).
The Waltons - S3E08 - John McGreevey (Writer), Harry Harris (Dir.)... Hits close to home 50+ yrs on.
Cate Blanchett in Coffee and Cigarettes
The artwork behind my daughter during her elementary school play today is really neat. Howard Finster-Talking Heads-Little Creatures-like out of nowhere.

Ed's son, Trip, is behind this version. I think he wants to honor his father but also to settle a score.
One of the first ppl on board was a writer/producer from The Boys and Vampire Diaries - Rebecca Sonnenshine.
I expect it to be a little bit gritty, the way Ed wanted it.
Ed Friendly and Michael Landon willed the original series into being but had a falling out early on.
Friendly wanted a raw, more true to the books feel. Landon said he wasn't going to show children suffering - Friendly left embittered.
Landon ended up being right.

Walnut Grove still plugging away in EA FC 26. It's soccer, not baseball - but the colors are correct. As well as the spirit and heart.
Yep. They are moving to the studios that the Premier League left behind. The PL switched to in-house production. MLS should have done the same.
I'm getting close to a "state of soccer on tv and viewership" post because of how fragmented everything is now.

The Rockford Files is still a better show than most today so a remake is not going to work. It's not a video game you can "remaster."
Same goes for Little House.
The talent to even come close to what these shows accomplished does not exist.

It was, yes
Estimate. I haven't seen the real number yet.
Close. Last year was the lowest at 500k. 2012 was 800k. Then this year.
Without Messi there's a chance it would have dropped below last season.
