No TV shows canceled? It's another sign of how the industry is changing
Fox's "Minority Report" has fizzled in the ratings. So has ABC's nighttime soap "Blood & Oil," as well as NBC's crime drama "The Player" and its sitcom "Truth Be Told." Not so long ago, all of these shows would likely have been canceled. But all four are still on the schedule, as is every other network show that debuted this fall. This year, the TV season has stretched into November without a single new title consigned to the rubbish heap — something that...

Cable companies are so scared of Netflix they've actually started showing fewer ads
Major TV networks are so scared of Netflix they are actually starting to show fewer ads. Companies like Time Warner, Fox, and Viacom have begun to reverse the trend of trying to shove as many ads in your face as possible. The reason? They want to lure back younger viewers, who are increasingly living in a cordless future full of Netflix and Hulu, according to Bloomberg. Time Warner, in particular, is a useful case study.

Netflix's "A Very Murray Christmas" Recalls a Time When Networks Ruled TV. Guess Who Rules TV Now?
Bill Murray's “A Very Murray Christmas” starts streaming on Netflix today. It’s an hour-long throwback to what a lot of television once was: an old fashioned variety show. The story doesn’t matter much; what does is the sentiment. Murray sings, he dances, he laments, and he drinks. He’s joined by Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, George Clooney, and Miley Cyrus, among others. And while the songs haven’t changed all that much since the ’50s, the...
