The Sternberg Report ©2018 September 2018 #48 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Does Pre-Season Buzz Really Matter? By Steve Sternberg The broadcast networks traditionally unveil their fall schedules in May. Pundits and entertainment news outlets begin predicting new season hits and misses soon thereafter, and the networks start promoting their new series throughout the summer. Ad-supported cable networks tend to debut much of their new original scripted series between June and August (when the broadcast networks air mostly repeats, reality, and limited-run series), although some new shows do premiere in the fall and winter as well. Streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and CBS All Access, don’t adhere to traditional concepts of seasons, and drop new series whenever they are ready to go, or simply when they think it is the best time to do so. Some TV shows generate a considerable amount of buzz before they premiere, while others fly under the radar. This raises some obvious questions. Exactly how much does pre-season buzz really matter? Does it matter more for certain types of shows than for others? Does it matter more for broadcast or cable series? Does it matter more for one network versus another? How have the sources, level, and impact of buzz changed over the years? A number of new series with strong pre-season buzz have become instant successes (such as Desperate Housewives, The Walking Dead, Better Call Saul, and This is Us), while others have failed to find an audience (see Bionic Woman, Flash Forward, The Bastard Executioner, and Pitch). Many A Sternberg Report sponsored message The best new Fall series: ABC – A Million Little Things, The Kids Are Alright, Single Parents; CBS – Murphy Brown, The Neighborhood; NBC – I Feel Bad, Manifest; FOX – Rel.

Networks and studios send reps to the big July pop-culture Comic-Con event in San Diego, where series stars and producers join panels geared to generating pre-season buzz among hardcore fans, which their publicity machines try to make sure will spill over to the general public. In recent years, Netflix shows (such as Stranger Things and Marvel’s street-level heroes – Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, The Punisher), as well as shows from Amazon Prime Video and Hulu, and CBS All Access’s Star Trek Discovery, along with returning ad-supported and premium cable hits (such as The Walking Dead, Legion, Game of Thrones, and Westworld), have been receiving the most buzz at these events. Anything related to superheroes or sci-fi also get a significant amount of buzz. Stars of returning and new series also show up at the various smaller comic cons across the country throughout the year (although more stars from cable than broadcast series attend those). The New York Comic Con takes place in October, and is starting to rival the San Diego event in size and the number of all-star panels. Here’s a brief rundown of the major TV show related panels and presentations at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. While the production studios typically host these events, I’m listing them based on the network or streaming service that airs them: San Diego Comic Con 2018 TV Panels CBS Big Bang Theory, Magnum P.I.

Origin (new) Syndicated news magazine series such as Entertainment Tonight, Extra, and Access Hollywood, along with printed newspapers and magazines like Entertainment Weekly, used to be the main sources of new series promotion and buzz. I was once among the pundits appearing on Entertainment Tonight every year discussing my agency’s projected new season hits (when I was head of TV Research at Bozell, TN Media, and Magna Global). My reports, as well as others from my agency peers would also be quoted in the consumer and trade printed press (New York Times, USA Today, TV Guide, Ad Age, Broadcasting & Cable, etc.). Over the past decade, social media has become a key component in promoting new series as well. Online chatter ensues, and a handful of series are anointed as the most buzz-worthy. It is interesting, and perhaps counter-intuitive that over the past 15 or 20 years, the success rate of all new broadcast television series has been essentially the same as those that generated the most pre-season buzz, roughly 30%. It’s also interesting to note that of all the series that have succeeded during the same period, roughly two-thirds did not receive a significant amount of pre-season buzz. Pre-season buzz seems to have more of an impact on cable series, primarily because there are fewer of them and their ratings threshold for success is significantly lower than the broadcast networks. Since 2001, about 60% of the most buzzed about new ad-supported cable shows became successful. There are several reasons, however, why pre-season buzz has little impact on whether or not a new broadcast series becomes successful: • Despite the fact that their audiences tend to skew older, newspapers and syndicated entertainment news magazine shows focus more on the younger, sexier series, rather than on shows their own viewers are actually most likely to watch. This has started to change over the past few seasons. 4 __________________________________________________________________________________________ The Sternberg Report ©2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ • Except for CW, the average median age of the typical broadcast series is over 50. This is not necessarily the same audience that is buzzing the most about new series online. We have seldom seen non-super hero CBS shows get as much pre-season buzz other networks, but it has had the more new series success than any other network over the past 15 years. • Internet and comic-con buzz is often heavily skewed toward sci-fi and super-hero series or shows with former sci-fi stars attached. Except for CW super hero shows, most broadcast shows in this category tend not to live up to the hype. Cable networks have traditionally had more success in this area. • Most social-media-based pre-season buzz comes from people who might have seen a trailer online, but have not seen the full pilot and don’t know if the show is actually any good. • People who discuss new shows online are not necessarily going to watch them on television – particularly if the series is scheduled opposite one of their favorites. This remains true even in today’s DVR, streaming video, time-shifted world (how much longer this continues to be true remains to be seen). • The impact of social media outlets, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, is less clear at this point. There does seem to be some correlation with big-event programming – major sports or political events, award shows, season finales,

  • Hollywood North Rising Star Nicole Laplaca
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hollywood North Rising Star Nicole LaPlaca Vancouver, October 20, 2013 - Canadian-born Nicole LaPlaca is one of Hollywood North’s brightest rising stars. The Leo Award-nominated actress received the accolade in 2004 for her performance in the short film Beachbound. Nicole most recently appeared on screen in the Lifetime television movie Secret Liaison co-starring Meredith Monroe. She can also be seen on City TV in an episode of the sitcom Package Deal ("Kim vs. Karaoke") and has just wrapped a guest appearance on Steven Spielberg’s popular sci-fi tv series Falling Skies, episode 1, season 4, set to air next summer. Audiences will recognize Nicole from her most notable role as Natalia in the hit Warner Brothers film Another Cinderella Story, in which she starred alongside Selena Gomez and Jane Lynch. According to Nicole, one of her favorite things about inhabiting that character was that she found it "exhilarating to play the enemy.” She says her dream role would be the character of “Deb” from the Showcase series Dexter because “she’s so raw and unpredictable.” Nicole hopes to one day work with renowned film director Martin Scorsese. Nicole made her industry debut at the age of 9, after following in her sister Jennifer's footsteps. She has appeared in over 40 professional projects to-date, with numerous guest and supporting roles in television shows, films, commercials and stage productions including: Falling Skies, Package Deal, Alcatraz, Supernatural, American Dreams, Stephen King's The Dead Zone and End Game.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • CBS' 'Young Sheldon' Has Strongest Comedy Opening in Four Years
    CBS' 'Young Sheldon' Has Strongest Comedy Opening in Four Years 09.26.2017 CBS' Young Sheldon, arguably the show most likely to succeed this season, came out of the gate with a big bang, debuting at a 3.7 rating among adults 18-49 and 16.6 million viewers. That's the most-watched premiere rating for a new comedy since 2 Broke Girls debuted in 2011 and the highest-rated since The Crazy Ones in 2013. That said, both of those shows have since been canceled, with 2 Broke Girls ending its run after last season and The Crazy Ones - which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and the late, great Robin Williams as a daughter-father advertising team - failed to make it past season one. Young Sheldon debuted out of the show from which it's spun, The Big Bang Theory, and held almost all of its viewers. Big Bang, opening season 11, premiered at a 3.9 rating in the key demo and 17 million viewers. Young Sheldon was just teasing viewers with this early episode, however. It's not due to return until its official premiere on Nov. 2, after CBS completes its run of Thursday Night Football and the show can enter its regular time slot of Thursday at 8:30 p.m., behind The Big Bang Theory. Kevin Can Wait, starring Kevin James and featuring the arrival of Leah Remini among some viewer blowback, returned for season two at 9 p.m. with a 2.3 in the demo and 10.1 million viewers, while new sitcom Me Myself & I starring Bobby Moynihan and John Larroquette premiered at a 1.7 in the demo and 7.4 million viewers.

  • Organisms and Human Bodies As Contagions in the Post-Apocalyptic State
    CHAPTER 1 Organisms and Human Bodies as Contagions in the Post-Apocalyptic State Robert A. Booth n this chapter, I show how discourses of contagion and pollution not only imbue many post-apocalyptic cinema and television narratives but also mirror public discourse about immigration. Further, I examine the often- I 1 racialized immigrant in post-apocalyptic film and television that is, in essence, a discourse on insider–outsider social divisions and relationships of power. Finally, I elucidate the argument that post-apocalyptic film and television rein- force the primacy of centralized political authority, namely the State, and post- 9/11 post-apocalyptic film in particular reinforces the hegemony of the State. The post-apocalyptic subgenre of science fiction and/or horror has become popular fodder for cinema and television. As Susan Sontag notes, “the science fiction film . is concerned with the aesthetics of destruction, with the pecu- liar beauties to be found in wreaking havoc, making a mess. And it is in the imagery of destruction that the core of a good science fiction film lies.”2 Portrayals of the post-apocalypse often index or echo visual memories of terrible societal traumatic events of the past.3 With the experience of the social, political, economic, and emotional trauma of the 9/11 attacks, one might reasonably assume that Americans would acquire a distaste for graphic destructive violence. Certainly, after the attacks, filmmakers occasionally felt pressured to remove images of the Twin Towers or to change content that might evoke the tragedy, such as planes crashing into skyscrapers. However, post-apocalyptic genres remain ever popular in American television and cinema.

    From Zero to My Own Hero: An Intersectional Feminist Analysis of the Woman Superhero’s Challenge to Humanity in Watchmen and Jessica Jones ​ ​ ​ Louise Stenbak Simonsen & Sabina Kox Thorsen 10th semester, MA Dissertation Engelsk Almen, Aalborg University Supervisor: Mia Rendix 02-06-2020 Characters: 317649 Simonsen & Thorsen 1 Abstract The image of women in the superhero genre has for many years been dominated by how it is produced as a mirror to the masculine. However, this image is now beginning to be disrupted by feminist attempts at diversifying representations. This paper aims to examine Watchmen ​ and the first season of Jessica Jones as cultural representations and new voices of women ​ ​ which materialise the category as a transgressive, challenging force to assumedly fixed structures of gender, race and sexuality. As Jessica Jones speaks from a White feminist perspective, and Watchmen from a Black feminist perspective, we explore how the texts can be combined to expand the category of women. The texts show the discourses, regimes of truth, and forms of violence which seek to regulate women, and in exposing these tools of domination, the texts disrupt the fixed categories and definitions of women and question the limits of performativity. In spite of women being shown to be materialised beyond the phallogocentric economy of signification, the two series still limit gender to a biological determinism that assumes a normativity of social structures and relations of power. However, because the texts are voices of women, they are the first step of many towards a multitude of untold, endless possibilities of gender and racial representation.

Full text: Mary Chao Staff writer The parent company of WHAM-TV (Channel 13) has acquired the local CW affiliate, which airs shows such as Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville and Gilmore Girls. The CW affiliate, WRWB (cable Channel 16), had been a joint venture of Time Warner Cable and Warner Brothers. Now it will be operated by Clear Channel Television's WHAM and will be renamed CW-WHAM, said Chuck Samuels, vice president and general manager of Channel 13, who will head both stations. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The CW was created when Warner Brothers merged with UPN, taking the "C" from CBS, which owned UPN, and the "W" from Warner. The Rochester station will remain on cable Channel 16 and will also be available as WHAM-DT on digital channel 13.2. Samuels said the station will complement Channel 13. "The CW has a very different target audience," he said. "While most networks such as ABC target (ages) 18 to 49, the CW targets 18 to 34, even 12 to 34." The CW will help WHAM's already established news brand by reaching out to younger audiences, Samuels said. WRWB's operations in downtown Rochester will be consolidated into WHAM's facilities in Henrietta.
