New video dropped yesterday — 10 TV roles that were almost played by completely different actors.
https://youtu.be/1EnWmYsAWhw
The one that floored me: David Chase cast a rock guitarist with zero acting credits as Tony Soprano. HBO killed it on the spot. The guy who got rejected? He's the one who recommended James Gandolfini for the part.
Which of these alternate-universe casting decisions would've changed TV the most?

Yesterday's video covered the 10 biggest TV flops of 1989. Here's the wildest part — NBC cancelled Baywatch and sold the rights for just $10. It then became the most-watched show on EARTH with over 1 billion weekly viewers.

Yesterday's video on CBS trying to copy TGIF got me thinking...
https://youtu.be/AjriBQk8TVc
We all had our favorite TGIF show. The one you'd never miss. The one you'd fight your siblings over if they tried to change the channel.
So let's settle this once and for all... What was the BEST TGIF show? 👇

Quick question for everyone who watched yesterday's video:
https://youtu.be/7R0xRmIUMEk
Which moment from the research surprised you the most?
Some of these behind-the-scenes stories were wild — like Joss Whedon literally backing James Marsters against a wall to tell him Spike was getting killed off. Or Michael J. Fox sending that lunch box to the NBC president who doubted him.
Which one got you?

New video dropped yesterday counting down the 10 catchphrases that completely took over the culture! 📺
https://youtu.be/pRlNmM0cm-Y

The #1 show on our list is WKRP in Cincinnati — a show literally about a ROCK RADIO STATION that can't be preserved because of... rock music licensing.

Yesterday's video broke down how 8 TGIF shows secretly existed in one shared universe — connected through crossovers, chain letters, and one rocket pack incident.
https://youtu.be/1l5CL7-mzkU
But here's the real question...
