I'll cop shit for this, but The Bear.

Observe that people want beef subs, that beef subs are good, and what needs to improve is the restaurant management and staff stability. You can still innovate with sandwiches and pastries, you don't need to convert to a fancy restaurant and charge stupid prices for a different daily menu.

What they did in The Bear by converting to a fancy restaurant and alienating their customers was the most boneheaded business move one could possibly conceive of and I despise Lip for squandering mikeys money like that.

I take issue with that in real life too.

Battlestar Galactica, the potential cancellation made some whacky shit happen

[–] dkppunk@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I agree and this one made me really sad, that show was so good. The turn that Battlestar Galactica took was caused by the writers strike back in the day. That strike unfortunately impacted a lot of good shows (Heroes was another one) and pushed reality TV onto us because no writers were required for a script. IMO, it had a pretty severe negative impact on what and how we watch things today. It was a crappy time for tv.

I still stand by the writers though and supported them striking at the time.
