some good news!

NBC has ordered full seasons of rookie series Community and Mercy, as well as second-year comedy Parks and Recreation.

The back-nine pickups come despite middling ratings for all three show, although Mercy has perked up somewhat in recent weeks. As Peacock president Angela Bromstad points out, ?[Mercy] has found a dedicated audience and continues to build in the ratings. We?ve seen future episodes and we?re confident Mercy can be a strong player for us.?.?

Jeff: Are you staying for the party?

Abed: If I stay, there can be no party. I must be out there in the night, staying vigilant. Wherever a party needs to be saved, I?m there. Wherever there are masks, wherever there?s tomfoolery and joy, I?m there. But sometimes I?m not, because I?m out in the night, and I?m staying vigilant. Watching, lurking, running, jumping, hurdling, sleeping. No, I can?t sleep. You sleep. I?m awake, I don?t sleep, I don?t blink. Am I a bird? No, I?m a bat. I am Batman. Or am I? Yes, I am Batman. Happy Halloween.

    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
    • Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"  
    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
