Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for what you're watching Wednesday. Yeah, the following
program is brought to you in Living colors, but you're
watching in the Americans love television.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
They win their kids.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
USA television, Manchet, we've been.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Watching too many of those live television shows.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Okay, so we've told you how we all liked All
Her Faults. The Beast in Me good. Not as good
in my opinion as All Her Fault, but kind of.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I got two episodes left.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
Similar kind of thriller esque vibe.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I have found another one in this vein, and it
is called Little Disasters and it is available on Paramount
Plus Amazon Prime, and it is if you like parenting themes,
which I didn't think that I would be into when
I read the synopsis for All Her Fault, but became
very much into it, you'll like this one as well.

(00:51):
It's kind of like a friend group and a baby
gets a bump on her head kind of situation, and
then all the friend group and their seeks.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
It's kind of unravel or are they secrets or are
they not? It's pretty darn good.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
I haven't finished it, but I'm a couple episodes away
and I kind of burned through the first three or
four episodes Little Disasters. It's if you liked All Her Fault.
It's in that same kind of arena.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
This sounds familiar. There was a this may have been
a TV show, but there was some TV episode where
a friend ends up spanking their friend's child, like as
a reprimand in the moment of something like that happening.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's not the exact same thing.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
No one's spanking anyone's child here.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, this is an accident, you said.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Nobody's Yeah, but it's not like the friend hit the
baby or something like that. It's it's we don't know
if it was an accident. Oh really, yeah, so it's good.
I believe it seems like it was a book. Yeah,
it was a book by Sarah Vaughan. You can see
why I would make a good book. But yeah, it's
a goodhow I think it's all six episodes. Little Disasters

(02:02):
is the name.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
A bunch of people have suggested some of the shows
that they have been watching.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh, he's so excited to finally share my what you're
watching Wednesday, because I'm only like Shannon Late on Yellowstone
on this I'm finally watching Game of Thrones and it
is nasty and it is gory and it is not
my alley, but I have to finish it because I
am sick and tired of not knowing what the heck
people are talking about.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I think I'm like, what ten years too late? But hey,
I got there, Jamis throws.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
That's awesome.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
I mean, they're good shows that everyone watches and talks
about for a reason. There's no reason you can't just
be late to the party.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
There is a good there's a reason why everybody talked
about him.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Your point.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I watched or I am watching Sons of Anarchy finally,
because it's what was off the or ten years or
eight years ago or.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Something like that.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, and my wife watched it and always thought I
would enjoy it, and I never got around to it
because the longer it got into the show, five six,
seven seasons, I thought, that's just gonna take forever.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
And I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I do not, I do not binge well like, I don't.
I won't sit there and watch four episodes of something
usually I have in the past, good thing. But so
the task of watching, you know, twelve or thirteen episodes,
seven seasons, that's gonna take me a year. It just

(03:27):
and I don't That doesn't appeal to me. But it's
a good enough show. I mean there are shows like
that that I go I should have watched this in
the first place, and I wouldn't have been late on
the whole thing. I do have a te I have
two things we'll do on the other side of the break.
One of them is a gas go around about things
that people have watched this in twenty twenty.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Five Copy New York, Gary and Shannon.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
What you're watching. Yes, it's a mini series called Staircase.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Oh yeah, it's pretty wild. That's about between dudes. Oh no,
it's not the hockey movie.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
But it's intense.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
It thought the Staircase was a story about them killed
his wife.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
All right, Happy New Year.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Can't wait till you guys get back.

Speaker 2 (04:17):

the bottom of the staircase.

We watched that like a few years ago. Michael Peterson, Oh, yes,
he had a couple other dead wives.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And Tony Colle that one I had forgotten. But I'm
glad the people are catching up.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Fredy finished the final two seasons.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
A better call.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Saul and honestly I forgot how good it is.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
It's one of those shows that doesn't give you what
you want at the end.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah. Vince Gilligan, of course from Better Carl Saul is
now doing Pluribus, which we've been watching on Apple TV
and I have.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Been very slowly disliking it. There's nothing going on.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, I had that questions about with that show from Go.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's a weird It does make you think, and I
like that, it's creative, it's it's interesting, but I just
want there to be something else happening.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Yeah, It's something's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
There's got to be like pressure, there are the aliens coming,
is the mind virus taking everybody? What's what's going on
when we come back? A fun little game about what
you watch on Wednesday? I love fun game reminder Wednesday.

of people saw that.

Speaker 1 (06:58):

for the whole year.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I don't think i've seen any correct. Zootopia two came
in at number six.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
I will go with Wicked.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Wicked for Good is number five, Oliver, you were successful
and came close to get another one in there. Cinna's
Sinners is number seven. Do you defer, Shannon?

Speaker 5 (07:28):
I guess Wicked?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
You did guess Wicked correct.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
It's another round. Yes, I see. Listen, Conway's been off
for a while.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
I forget how to play these games.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
I will go with Roofman.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
No, we'll go. Here's the here's the breakdown. Number ten
is Avatar. Fire and Ash just came out but has
already made two hundred and sixteen million. How to Train
Your Dragon was the ninth. The eighth is Fantastic Four,
The First Steps You Heard, Sinners, Zootopia, Wicked for Good
the fourth highest grossing movie this year. Jurassic World Rebirth

(08:07):
Superman number three. Leelo and Stitch came in at number two.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
Where Dumb People and.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
The number one box office draw of twenty twenty five
a Minecraft movie. Even worse.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
That's the state of the American box office.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Right, Wow, what a weird world we live in? Right?
Where are the movie stars? Where are the movie stars?

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well? This and this may this may be.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
I don't know if this is going to make it
feel better or worse. But we also have a list
of the most watched television shows over the course of
this year. And let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine times.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
All of those thirteen.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
The the top sixteen of the most watched television shows
this year. All of the top sixteen's sixteen are sporting events. Okay, yeah,
the vast majority of those are football.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Yeah, live events.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
You've got.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Super Bowl obviously was the big winner, with one hundred
and twenty seven thousand people, sorry, one hundred and twenty
seven million people watching. Number two. Number two was half that.
Number two was the AFC Championship game between the Chiefs
and the Bills at fifty eight fifty eight million. The
number five, the only one that's not a football game,

(09:39):
was number five on that list, and that was World
Series Game seven.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Yeah about twenty seven what a cinematic But think.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
About this, eis just the.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
How viewing, listening, whatever has changed over the course of
thirty forty years. Twenty seven million people watching that game seven.
That's the fifth most watched program of the year, twenty
seven million. Twenty seven million. Used to be what people
would watch on a Tuesday at nine to thirty, right,

(10:12):
like sitcoms would kill for a twenty seven million, or
they know sitcoms would laugh at twenty seven million. If
you got sixty or seventy million, that was a much
more appropriate and regular occurrence. But now twenty seven million
counts as the fifth highest most watched program.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
And again part of it is because it's live.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
But like I said, fifteen of the top sixteen are football,
one of them is baseball. The number seventeen is the
OSCARS telecast, which was again you talked about you don't
watch award shows like this anymore, and they've kind of
fallen off. But then after number seventeen, number eighteen, nineteen,

(10:55):
twenty twenty one, two.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
All the way through.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
In fact, they even count the NFL weather delay with
seventeen million people as being the seventh twenty seventh.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Most watched top live event on television.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
And you've got football, you've got the NCAA Final four.
And then at number thirty three on the list is
the sixty seventh Grammy Awards. There's two award shows in
the top thirty three, and the rest of it is sports.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I'm gonna call BS on your sitcom would get sixty
million on a Tuesday, Okay.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
I just don't think so.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
I'm looking up Luke and Laura's wedding nineteen eighty one
that got thirty million viewers. Really Friends finale two thousand
and four got fifty two million. Those were big start,
big big events. I don't think they're pulling sixty million
on a sitcom.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Well, I don't want to end the show with you
correcting me.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
I know I don't either. I don't ever want to
be that person.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
So what do we do?

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Let me see if I can find something that makes
you right. Oh, here we go. Oh, there's smoke coming
from the system.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Is that white?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
It's hard to say that's white?

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
That is relax. Relax until bro, that's white.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Wait, I have something that's better.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Cheers.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Viewership finale, May nineteen ninety three estimates from eighty to
ninety three million viewers.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
So that's good, right. That was a lot of people
Happy New Year.
