While we all have our favourite actors, singers, books and etc. I'm trying not to be biased. If some song from mine favourite artist sound bad, I can admit it.
ER started in 1994 and early 00's episodes def. look way better than Grey's ever was. Grey's main problem was always that ABC use cheapest CGI possible. They shot it on small Universal soundstage and every time they show a helicopter, other side of street and now even Bailey cabinet (view from window that replicates their previous hospital location) is all CGI and it looks so freaking cheap. They just walking around the same location for the most of episode, and when they are not you see them walking in front of green screens. ER was shot in Burbank which is not amazing by any means, but they at least build 2 floors and heavily used Burbank fake streets. Also, they used tons of real life locations even in later seasons. Either way ER looks way more expensive and better produced than Grey's Anatomy. You should check episodes like Crossing and 2 Ships to see what I'm talking about. Grey's and their green screens just can't compare. House M.D looks okay. Well, better than current Grey's, that's for sure. Some of clothes and hair styles aged badly. I remember there was some terrible stunt episode with awful CGI, though, but it looked bad upon the original airing. Last edited by ERussia; 03-05-2017 at 08:40 PM |

To each their own
Anyway. Once Upon a Time had a new episode again after a few months of break. Jos and I were smart enough to save the final two episodes from before the break to watch closer to the new episodes. Watched them yesterday, so that we were able to watch the new episode tonight. Really glad we waited, because the cliffhanger was quite good I heard Homeland had a very strong episode, can't wait to be more up to date with the show, but knowing how much we like it, we're better off waiting a few years. Then we are able to watch all of the episodes without any breaks __________________

OUAT is another (and main tbh) example of bad ABC special effects.

Bringing this in from the TGF thread because I don't want to get too OT since we only have one thread for the whole show Quote:

As for ratings, well not really. Cable doesn't depend on advertising for revenue so they don't care about rating. Not immediately anyway. They like to have good numbers to show off (like HBO releasing news every season that GOT's premiere or finale has been "the most pirated episode of tv" ever ) but they don't use them like networks do to sell commercial spots Quote:
I feel so bad every time network tv tries to use CGI They just don't have the money and the time to do it right. I get that it's cheaper than the alternative, like having a real explosion for example, but damn, it looks bad. They shouldn't do it. Quote:

It was actually in 4th or 5th season, when she just started. Ugh, they did her so wrong on ER. They let everyone (who actually was still on the show) from first 4 seasons to leave (and get rid of few including Alex) during 11th season. No wonder ratings collapsed and the show became bad.
Channels like NBC and Fox actually have okay CGI (at least for time of original airing), CBS doesn't have much CGI, but ABC.... Gosh, and they are owned by disney? http://www.wetpaint.com/wp-content/u...my-bad-cgi.png |

I'm hard to sattisfy about the subject though. I love how cable shows do it (air all of the episodes in a row), but at the same time the wait time after that season is insane. Just look at GoT. Having the episodes spread out makes it hard to really invest in the story, but I do appreciate the fact that the only big breaks ''only'' last about 2/3 months or so. It's why I prefer watching shows on dvd/blu-ray once they've aired. You can watch them on your own schedule. Quote:

Well Charmed was on CW (WB before that) and OUAT is on big 4 channel. And it's not "small" show, it's just not a big hit.
OUAT has more cliffhangers because they have new stories and use different Disney characters for every fall/winter part. |

Yes, Charmed was on another network. I just mentioned that it was a shame that CGI didn't really improve much over the years (if you compare Charmed with Once). The improvement is there, but not as much as you'd expect considering all the time that has passed since Charmed was on the air. And I know Once is not a small show, I just said it was no GoT, where the budget is crazy, so you cannot expect that kind of CGI on network TV. That's all I was saying __________________

Yep. Thinking of it, first 4 seasons of Charmed were actually good.

Don't know about the budgets every show has. Maybe Once has more expensive actors that take up lots of the budget, no idea. Then again, I'm not too bothered by the CGI Once uses. It's part of their style aswell though. Charmed is and always will be one of my favorite shows ever. Along with Gilmore Girls, it was the first show I watched ever. I remember buying S8 of Charmed on dvd, because the Dutch networks stopped broadcasting it. Damn, I think I watched all 22 episodes in 2 days I still follow the cast too. No emmy winning material, but I liked what they did with the characters and the chemistry they shared. __________________

Sorry, but for me look is super important. I mean... we are watching show, not listening or reading.
You haven't notice this? I've seen it in like 2008 or 2009 for the first time and it's already looked bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFjsHszbFnI |
