A Million Little Things In The Media

Not sure if anyone has seen this media article or not: https://tvline.com/2018/12/12/a-million-little-things-recap-season-1-episode-10-christmas-wishlist/ and there was one thing that stuck out to me in this article. This is from the show's creator, DJ Nash.

The actor, Allison [Miller], who plays Maggie — I told her this yesterday. I said, “When I wake up at 5 am and have to watch a cut… there’s always a point where I just well up with tears at how you’re playing the humanity of Maggie.” It’s truly beautiful. I have lost many family members and a few friends to cancer, and the journey that Gary and Maggie go on ends in heartbreak.

It's not sounding too good to me and I hope he's not implying what I think he's implying.

I still think it's Gary who dies.  Hoping that I'm completely wrong and that neither Gary or Maggie die but if one has to I would want it to be Maggie.

That is a good spot. So her show about the firemen must have failed, unless it only got thirteen episodes.

Oh, bugger. I was just saying in the other thread, that I didn't think they would do that, but what am I saying? This is primetime TV, promising tears every week (tears that I do not want to shed over fictional characters, that often). I think I'm going to have to read spoilers, and not watch it all when it comes back. I can't take that much fictional grief - I still have my own REAL grief to deal with. 

I would still be very surprised if they go that way.

AMLT has 7 episodes left and will end in mid-March, at which point Station 19 will come back.  

This move is interesting--I think, overall, it is positive.  But, if the ratings don't' improve enough, or if HTGAWM's ratings fall (more than expected), it is a death sentence for this show.  

Yeah, it is definitely a sink or swim moment. If it works the show will probably get several seasons but if it fails I doubt it would even get a second one. Hopefully the move will be heavily promoted so that it doesn’t lose any of the existing viewers.

I don't think that they will lose viewers in the move--with streaming and DVR's, people can watch several shows that hit the air at the same time.  What they need to do is bring in new viewers, which might be hard in soap opera-style show.  Granted, not much has happened plot-wise yet, but someone who hasn't watched it before might not be inclined to start such a show mid-season.  I'm guessing there will be a lot of promotion of watching the first half of the season on OnDemand or streaming during the hiatus.

True. I was just thinking about the live numbers since that is what advertisers usually look at.

I don't think Gary will die if only because James Roday is a bigger name and has a fairly large fanbase from Psych compared to Allison Miller.  I haven't heard that he was only signed for a single season because he has other irons in the fire (he's done some writing and directing); but that's the only way Gary would be the one to die, if Roday didn't want to commit to a series.

Well, the good news is that Grey's has good live numbers.  The bad news is that the CBS comedies at 9 pm also have fairly good live numbers (NBC comedies are not as strong, but pretty stable), so they will be competing with existing shows.  I don't know...we'll see.  Depending on how you look at it, this move is either the best gift ever or the direst warning ever.

[Anela]

I just hate "tune in to see who dies!" promos. I won't do it.

Sincerely hope you are correct.  I keep hoping that if I predict it then it won't happen.  He's the reason I continue to watch.  I think there's a second Psych movie already written and they are waiting for schedules to clear and coordinate.  I don't think that would keep him from continuing to work on AMLT.

If Gary is killed off I am out. Honestly, if Maggie dies I probably won't stick around. As someone already said  - I've enough grief in my own life without having to find it in fictional settings! If they pick it up with Rome & Regina they might keep me hanging on but I refuse to watch the Eddie/Delilah show. I just cannot take it, lol. 

And someone mentioned HTGAWM - how is it doing ratings wise?! I just cannot see that it's doing that great. I'm still watching but my God this season has been boring and very predictable. I miss the twists and turns we never saw coming!!

I think it's a mistake to believe that a showrunner is being willfully ignorant if they don't listen to what some viewers want. Because some viewers like this show fine just the way it is and don't think that TPTB need to listen to those that want them to change things. The people posting here (myself included, obviously lol) are a drop in the bucket. 

Like Ricky Nelson once sang, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

 

Actually, I am of the belief that (in most cases--I think, with this show, there might be some other issues) showrunners probably shouldn't listen to *any* viewers.  They should have enough confidence in their story to tell it.  And I do get that there are other forces here--networks have a say because they want ad buys, so they may pressure showrunners to go down plot trails that the showrunner may rather not explore.  And, as a viewer, I don't appreciate that as I think it harms the story but, as a realist, I understand that it does happen and why it happens.

Now, with this show, I have to admit that I don't think Nash quite has his story ready for primetime, so to say. x  There are too many weird continuity issues, expectations from the audience, etc that one should not see in a how that is still in its first season.  Also, from comments Nash himself has made, it clearly sounds like he is looking for validation from the viewers, which is dangerous territory.  But, if he is doing that, he needs to not pick and choose and only listen to those people who stroke his ego.  Trust me, it isn't all unicorns and rainbows among those who post on Facebook and Twitter about this show (I don't spend a lot of time checking out what people say about various shows on those two platforms, but from what I have seen, the negative comments are more prominent with this show than with most others I might have followed).  The complaints are numerous enough that he can't "accidentally" ignore them over the positive comments that he makes no secret that he eats up.

Honestly, I think that Nash needs to decide what kind of showrunner he is.  Is he the kind that tries to stay tuned into what is being said about his show?  If so, he needs to listen to *all* that is being said.  Or is he the kind that stays off social media and tells his own story?

You make a really good point. If Nash was to change the show in reaction to the audience or the network it probably wouldn’t work anyway. I suspect that he might be the type of show runner that cannot view his creations objectively enough to see their flaws. From his interviews it is clear that he and I view these characters very differently.

I think that the show has so much potential but that it was rushed to screen to try and take advantage of the This Is Us hype. TIU worked initially because the characters were mostly  relatable and then the twist was thrown in. This show started with the twist but has waited to make the characters relatable.

I think that you hit the nail on the head here.  I think this would have been the show of the season...next season.  I just feel like it came out of the oven before it was fully baked.  ABC obviously thought it was a show that would succeed on its own as it put it in a time zone that usually goes to shows it feels doesn't need the "help" of lead-ins, etc.  The next show in this time slot is Whiskey Cavalier, which was the first show ABC picked up for this season and has as much, if not more, buzz around it than AMLT did.

From what I understand, Nash has had a number of shows in the past--but he hasn't had any really successful shows in the past.  This is also his first drama (he's done comedy before).  This is a *really* ambitious show for such a person and ABC would have been smart to insist on a second showrunner to help/mentor him.

ETA: This might be one case where the network stepping in might actually *help* things.  I feel like Nash is sort of floundering right now and the network could at least give him a direction to set things.  Normally, I hate it when the network brass interferes, but this time it could be the one thing that saves the show.

I'm on Episode 4.   It got off to a bang but it seems like even now, ,it's drifting.

I think it might have been a great 1 season show.  I don't know why networks don't do that - everyone else is.

I  started watching for Ron Livingston.   He's disappeared.   I have no idea how they are going to turn this into a multi-year series

Keep going. If the commercials are correct, he'll be featured prominently in the winter premiere (episode 11) tonight. I'm (possibly in the small minority of people) really looking forward to it.

Not necessarily.  It looks like this show is falling into the This is Us trap of talking around the story in a way of avoiding actually telling the story...and the easiest way to do this is through flashbacks.  They can keep Jon around forever that way...

They could, but I would hate it.  The plot moves at glacial speed as it is; using flashbacks would kill it as dead as Jon.  (Too soon?)

That always happens with the super bowl, yes. But next week, A Million Little Things will still be on after Grey's, so they probably will keep some extra viewers who don't want to change the channel.

I remember Grey's used to be on at 9, and ABC kept trying to launch new shows at 8. They were ratings disasters. Then they moved Grey's to 8, and Scandal to 9 so they could put their new show AFTER the hits. Which led them finally having a new hit (HTGAWM).

 

I think it might be a little more complicated than that.  I'm going to use some hypothetical numbers for the sake of argument here...

 

Let's say Grey's Anatomy averages a 2.0, Station 19 (which had this timeslot before and will have it again when AMLT wraps up for the season) averages a 1.3, and How to Get Away with Murder a 0.8.  If AMLT comes in and tends to average a 1.0, which is higher than it was on Wednesday nights (0.7-0.8) that is, well, bad.  It tells advertisers that people are switching off after GA and, therefore, not seeing all their commercials.  Keep in mind that it isn't actually ratings that matter, but ad buys.  If HWGAWM drops to a .6 that is pretty much a cancellation notice for AMLT because not only is it not carrying its weight, but it is also bringing down another show. However, if AMLT goes up a notch from Station 19, that's fabulous news, especially if HTGAWM ticks up as well.
 

(I just checked my numbers: 1.9 for GA, 1.1 for AMLT, and 0.7 for HTGAWM.  The next couple of weeks will really tell the story).

 

What will be interesting is if Whiskey Cavalier comes into AMLT's old time slot and pulls in the ratings.  It may, it may not.  It's a very different show--more of a comedy, from what I understand, and I guess Wednesday is comedy night on ABC.  I've also heard that WC is "either the best show of the season or the worst show of the season.  I'm not sure which, but it will definitely be one of those" (to quote something I heard on a podcast).  So, when decision time comes, if ABC has to decide between WC and AMLT and WC cleans up on Wednesdays while AMLT to "well enough" in ABC's best time slot...well, that would probably be curtains for AMLT.

Walking Dead's Chandler Riggs Joins Million Little Things for Arc

https://tvline.com/2019/01/23/chandler-riggs-million-little-things-cast-season-1/

Quote

 

Where’s Carl?! Funny you should ask!

Nearly a year after getting killed off The Walking Dead, Chandler Riggs is poised to return to the small screen with a multi-episode arc on ABC’s rookie drama A Million Little Things, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Riggs will play PJ, a young man Rome (Romany Malco) meets. Like Rome, PJ has had some dark days and their encounter proves meaningful to both of them in ways each of them doesn’t even fully realize at the time.

The actor — who is currently booked for at least two episodes — teased his new gig earlier this week on social media, lamenting via Twitter, “Four days ago i was almost unemployed for a full year,” before adding, “Right now i’m sitting on the set of season one of an incredible tv show for my first day of work. Life changes really drastically really quickly.”

 

[HazelEyes4325]

I have no clue who Chander Riggs is (I never watched TWD), but I'm glad to hear that the show might be focusing a bit more on Rome.

[HazelEyes4325]

So, I just came across this article that quotes DJ Nash as saying this about who the main character of this show is:

Quote

“To me, the show is really about Rome, who almost did something, almost took his life, and instead reaches out for help and makes a change.”

What the fuck?

Don't get me wrong, I agree that the show should be about Rome and I think this would be a much better show if it were about Rome...but it isn't.

I have to wonder...has DJ Nash actually *seen* this show?

I have the same thought whenever I read interviews with him. He seems to have complicated backstories for all these characters but somehow has left it completely out of the show. I think the version of the show in his mind is much better than the one we are watching.

The show has been renewed for a second season

Not that I'm surprised. The network moving it to Thursdays after Grey's made it clear that they want for it to succeed.

I have to catch up on the episodes I've missed...eventually. 

[HazelEyes4325]

The only surprising thing is that it took until now to renew it.  Networks have been renewing shows for weeks.  It will be interesting to see if ABC keeps it on Thursdays (because that is what saved it, honestly) and if Nash will actually put more thought into a second season.

Actually, renewals have only just started making their rounds. New Amsterdam was one of the first renewals*, and that was only a week ago. A lot of shows on the major networks haven't been renewed yet. I think they also wanted to see how it did in its new time slot to justify the renewal. 

*As I typed the above, I just realized that CBS renewed a bunch of their comedies a couple of weeks ago. But still, a lot of shows are still up in the air.

I think I must have just seen the CBS renewals and assumed all networks had done it.  My bad!

I do wonder if this will stay a post-Grey's show and/or if it will have to split the season with Station 19.  I can kind of see ABC thinking, "Well, it has found its audience so we can move it to a different time."  The thing is I am not sure the new time slot brought them than many new viewers.  I just think a lot of people who had DVR'd the show were more likely to watch it live in its new time.

I think it depends on what Nash pitches to the network for season 2, which will determine how many episodes season 2 gets. I imagine it'll stick to the 16-18 episode count, so they may do half-half. I'm pretty sure that they're not sticking AMLT in another 10pm timeslot again (it's better at 9pm anyway, even with the heavier material) so if it can't stick to the schedule with Greys, they'll probably try to pair it with another semi-successful show. I have a suspicion they'll keep it paired with Greys, and I think they could have it start either right in the fall or midseason to replace Station 19. However, ABC may go a different route, depending on the new shows they pick up.

I do think the new timeslot did get the more viewers but because it was after the most successful show on their network. But yeah, having it at 9pm on a popular night helped a lot.

Well, fuck.

I was hoping that season 2 would get down to actual storytelling, but it looks like we have another season of "secrets will come to light tonight!" when the big secret will be that Katherine really doesn't like Indian food or Regina's famous chocolate chip cookies really came from the back of the chocolate chip bag (or, more accurately, from her French grandmother...)

Yeah, I just caught the edit on that article.

So, season 1's mystery was suicide. What is season 2's mystery going to be, a murder? Who's The Real Daddy of Delilah's Kid? Where Did Ashley Go? Who Ate the Cheesecake?

Didn't know where to put this but for alison miller fans, she gave a cute interview.

[planetX]

Just came across this article: A Million Little Things' Unpredictable Finale Will Leave Us With More Questions
and reminded me of a tweet I saw the other day from DJ Nash:

Quote

 

Apparently, Gary/Maggie's storyline has been the main focus throughout this season, and I actually thought Rome was the main lead while watching the first three episodes. 

I wasn't a fan of Katherine until Ep.10 "Christmas Wishlist", that Santa Claus scene with Katherine and Theo was so precious, not to mention that the mother-son moment in the last episode "The Rosary" was very well-handled as well. And now we're at the season finale, Katherine actually became my favourite character in this show. She's not perfect, but I think as an audience we want to see the character grow and develop while learning from their mistakes and eventually finding their happiness. It's a journey you can relate to in real life.

Back to the article and tweet. Nash's answer in the article makes me wonder if he is dropping us a hint that the show is going to explore Rome's story more. I'm also curious about where does he want Eddie/Katherine's relationship to go from here, although I love their on-screen chemistry and enjoy seeing their scene together, I have an inner conflict in rooting for them 😞. However, seeing Nash's tweet reply gives me some hope that maybe in season 2, we'll be able to dive deeper into Katherine's storyline, this character has so much potential, yet she is so underrated.

[HazelEyes4325]

The official show social media account has said that Allison Miller and "legendary showrunner" DJ Nash are live tweeting tonight.

Yes, that is the term they used--LEGENDARY SHOWRUNNER.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the guy who has never had a show go past the 2nd season?  When I think of legendary showrunners/creators, I think of Chuck Lorre or Aaron Sorkin or Shonda Rhimes.  Not D.J. Nash.

The hubris here is astounding.

🙄Actually this will be the first show he’s created that managed to complete it’s first season. Is other two were comedies with short seasons. 

[nexxie]

I really hope Katherine comes back!

From the article:

As far as what the story will be like when the weepy drama returns, creator DJ Nash gave Deadline a little bit of insight into season two. Apparently on the morning that actors David Giuntoli and Grace Park shot the scene in which Eddie tells Katherine they have to talk about something, Nash handed them the rest of the script for the scene that will pick up in season two.

"I said, 'I haven't shown this to the network yet. But we're going to shoot the whole scene because we're here.' So we shot the rest of the scene," he explained. "I will say, the two of them are fantastic in it. As wonderful as they are individually, together there is something so special. I'm so excited to carry that story next year and to see us watch what she is going to do and how she is going to handle this impossible situation."

https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/When-Million-Little-Things-Season-2-Premiere-2019-45866834

[HazelEyes4325]

Katherine will definitely be back.  I just hope they don't keep putting her on the back burner in favor of a far less interesting character played by a far less talented actress.

I know that production has started on season 2 and I'm a little surprised that Nash isn't absolutely everywhere talking about it.  Maybe someone convinced him that it would be in his best interest to keep his mouth shut?

Oh, a little personal story.  In a fit of boredom a month or so ago, I tweeted a response to a tweet from the official AMLT account about season 2 and how I hope they get their act together because season 1 feel short and, oh yeah, Delilah is the worst.  And...two writers on the show (at least according to their twitter profiles) liked it. So, um, whatever about that...

Oh, a little personal story.  In a fit of boredom a month or so ago, I tweeted a response to a tweet from the official AMLT account about season 2 and how I hope they get their act together because season 1 feel short and, oh yeah, Delilah is the worst.  And...two writers on the show (at least according to their twitter profiles) liked it. So, um, whatever about that...

That’s great.

Season 2 needs to have a lot more Katherine, Rome and Regina and a lot less Delilah if it’s going to hold my interest.

A Million Little Things' XL-ish Season 2 Episode Count (Finally) Revealed

In an interview with TVLine, series creator DJ Nash reveals that the ABC drama’s forthcoming second season will consist of 19 episodes, up from Season 1’s 17. “ABC actually wanted 22 episodes,” Nash reveals. “I wanted 18. We [compromised] with 19.”

Nineteen episodes doesn’t really feel...”XL-ish” to me, but then the byline is Ausiello, so that tracks.

TV Snark agrees: "A Million Little Things" Gets A Little Longer for Season 2 for Its Million Little Pointless Mysteries + ABC's Season 2 Promo Featuring...Season 1 Footage!

Especially with Katherine and her adorable son Theo. This is now the second series in which a character named Katherine (with a K) is holding up the entire series on her shoulders...(I won't specify to what show I'm referring, but you may be able to figure it out 😉)

Jason Ritter to join Season 2 of A Million Little Things

Love him! Article says who he'll be connected to in the cast and that he's sticking around for multiple episodes.

And, of course, they cast an actor who I actually love. 

Jason Ritter is just another reason why I'll be back to watching this show.
