I am all ears for as long as a rant you've got. Because even when it comes to my basic ass understanding how television in the 70's worked, this was not it.

No. Studios do not care about how the movies are received. They care about whether people went to them. If they could sell tickets to a theatre with no screen and no movie, they would be quiet happy...

I'm not a particularly big fan of communal experiences. And I usually don't like movies to require them in order to be properly appreciated.

I don't think Dastmalchian was good, but a lot of that very well could have to do with how bad the script was. How unbelievably bad.
