I watched Archer last night and saw the ads for Chozen so I've already missed the first airing. This is the first comment I've heard on it's quality but I might give it a shot.

[Choop]

oh shit i forgot to schedule it for the dvr, so now i'll have to watch it ondemand with commercials after i tape next week's.

fx has the shittiest ondemand policy of any network. "did you miss last week's episode? oh well, watch this week's tonight and you can catch up tomorrow"

for everything they do right, they do something wrong. for every louie, there's an anger management. for every archer, there's a legit. i think they're just lucky that the good half of what they do is SO DAMN GOOD.

I heard that since NBC poached most of Fox Soccer Channel's content they're turning FSC into FXX. I think that channel will show "classic" FX content and maybe encores of the current stuff. I read that like a year ago though so the info or my memory could be out of date.

[Choop]

yeah that's not quite right. fox soccer has already become FXX, which is demo-marketed at 18-34, as opposed to FX, aimed at 18-49. the "edgier" or "younger" shows go there, like always sunny and the league. the bigger and broader shows (archer, louie) stay on FX, and then FXM is just movies. as if there aren't enough channels airing bad movies edited for content, time, and aspect ratio like every hour of the goddamned day.

also: the missus is mad they're slimming pam down this season. an interview with adam reed makes me not worry so much about it. i think by the end of this season the status is gonna get back to quo on that front

[Choop]

it's in the montage after they reveal the metaphorical elephant. rewatch with focus, you'll notice

I'm guessing amphetamines.

Sorry to steer this conversation back on topic, but I have a new complaint.

Dear person who repeatedly writes "we need more likes" on their Facebook page. The only people who will see it have already liked your page. Also, stop begging, people will like it if they like it. Add some interesting content to your page, that usually helps. Try a picture of a cat perhaps. Finally, I no longer like your page, goodbye.

[Carlos del Vaca]

God, that's the worst. There's one semi-popular Nats blogger who also tweets, and EVERY ONE of his tweets have "RT, credit me, follow," etc. and it's just pathetic.

But then, he's got almost 1000 followers, and I've got like 90, so there's that.

[wombat]

Some study of social media that I read said that statistically the best way to get retweets is to say "Please RT."  I also find this annoying but apparently you and I are in the minority.

[pmcd9]

Asking for a retweet is different than begging for likes. If someone retweets something it's going to reach new people. Begging like that is annoying yes, but no doubt effective.

[wombat]

Yeah, if begging for likes is useful I don't get how it works. Except that there is this feature where you can invite friends to like a page. But does anyone do that, except for their own pages? I dunno.

If you beg your friends to like or share something generally they will do it because why not. It takes almost no time and cost nothing.

Begging for likes will get your friends to like your page. If you beg for likes on the actual page the only friends who will see it are friends who have already liked it. That's my beef in this particular case. Asking someone to retweet a post or to share a post if it's Facebook will expose the post to new people, who if they like your content will in turn also like your page.

[Carlos del Vaca]

I guess inviting your friends to like a page is like saying, "Check out this band/author/cause that I think is good." Personally, I'd much rather link to a specific MP3/video, or provide a personal story as to why I think this thing is cool or important or whatever, rather than just having FB *****ically spam my friends.

New sticker at work says

"Please" 5'S your register?

"5-S" is a company organization thing. Supply Something Something Something Something. The apostrophe makes me feel pain.
