TV Break: February 2021 - WandaVision, WWE on Peacock, Peak TV slides, & The Snoopy Show

Pop Break’s Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus is joined by
editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky to
talk about the happenings in television.


Here’s the format of the show:


The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex, Bill, and
Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last
month including Disney+'s WandaVision; HBO Max’s Doom Patrol
& Titans; NBC’s Hannibal; and FOX’s New Girl.


News Break – Alex, Bill, and Josh discuss
the overall decline in scripted series
this year for the first time in a decade, including
whether this decline is good or bad news for TV viewers and if
it's here to stay.


Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh pick a streamer
they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming
shows announced etc. Bill & Alex decided Peacock won the
month with their recent acquisitions of
WWE and Modern
Family libraries and their
surprisingly strong year-end subscriber
numbers. Meanwhile, it was Josh’s turn to go in
a different direction, handing the prize to Discovery+ for
their exclusive library of unscripted
shows like House Hunters and Chopped that people
can’t stop binging.


Series Spotlight – Alex, Bill, and Josh watched
AppleTV+’s The Snoopy Show and assessed
whether it was worthy of the Peanuts mantle and if AppleTV+ can
do this franchise justice.
