While all of this is true, it is edited in a way that gives the impression they've decided to film a non-musical version of it. Especially with the version of DG used, which is reminiscent of all those slowed down 'creepy' covers that Disney use to use for their early days remakes. The version of DG used in that trialer sounds more end credits than what you would expect from a movie adaptation of the musical. You can definitely see the shots that are from musical numbers but, similar to Wonka's trailers where similar shots occurred, they seem scared to reveal it is actually a musical. Remember there were people upset that the Sweeney Todd movie was a musical and felt duped by the trailer.

That trailer is everything and more. It's giving major vibes of being over the top and I am here for it. It looks like so much fun I may not care if it plays fast and loose with history. Now all I need to do is find confirmation its coming to an Australian service, hopefully at the same time as the Starz release.

Saw a video from the UK's Sky Channel on TikTok that advertised the series would be starting in March.

I think one of the criteria for if a show should be placed into the comedy category is by asking the simple question: Am I tuning in to laugh? Not does it make me laugh, but the reason I'm watching is because I need a good laugh. Shows like Friends, Abbot Elementary and M*A*S*H while viewers may grow to care about characters tuned in each week to the shows expecting to laugh. And I imagine 99% of people when recommending the show to others would lead with 'Cause it's so funny' as their main reasoning. And using this assumption I would place shows like Ally McBeal and Desperate Housewives into the comedy category because I was tuning in each week expecting the show to make me laugh - while have some dramatic storylines. I actually think Desperate Housewives is the reason the 30 minute rule was bought in. While a show like Brothers & Sisters made me laugh at times, I was tuning in for the drama knowing that every now and then a side plot would provide some occasional laughs, so it belonged in Drama. Are people tuning in to watch The Bear each week for the laughs or the drama? And since people constantly ask people involved with The Bear if its a comedy shows that perhaps it isn't a comedy. Because no one was asking the cast of Friends if their show was a comedy. The idea that 30 minutes isn't long enough for a drama is ludicrous or that a comedy cannot be longer than 30 minutes. Because I can guarantee you no one thought Glee was a drama

Me, an Aussie, trying to convert the seasons to my time which is Autumn and realising that's really soon. I just hope its super successful so we can get more shows/movies about the Stuarts.

ITA, I hate when the choice is made to show the performer of the song over the images of the people we are remembering.

Normally I have a heart of stone during award ceremony's In Memoriams but damn this year's Emmy really got to me. I'm blaming the song choices and the arrangement of those songs. I didn't even notice the shift to the Friends theme until the lyrics started.

Kinda weird that they dump acting, writing and directing a TV movie into the same category as Limited/Anthology Series for the Primetime Emmys Ceremony but then have Best TV Movie as its own category and dump it into the Creative Arts Ceremony.

I thought that, but then they mentioned there is an Ally McBeal reunion happening so maybe Harrison doesn't like sitting next to strangers while his wife is hanging backstage?

Are seat warmers having their own strike? I've never seen so many obvious empty seats during an awards ceremony.

And he becomes the latest EGOTer apparently

When we come back from an ad they are just playing random tv themes. I'm guessing the ones chosen are the shows with recognisable tunes that they couldn't organise a reunion for OR get someone to present an award.

This is one of my issues with the Emmys once you get into the winner's circle you just keep winning. This is my first time watching the Emmys live - thanks strikes and school holidays lining up perfectly - but I feel I could have just looked up the winners from 5 years ago to pick the winners and smashed them with the recent Golden Globes to pick these winners.

Every since I discovered A Closer Look during the 2020 US Elections I've been wanting Seth's show to win an Emmy.

The reunion was great but it also reminded me that Kirstie Alley is no longer with us. And it doesn't matter how many awards it wins, those awards are not going to make me check out The Bear.
