I could see us losing $24 million, but where would CBS have possibly spent the other $16 million? Oh, yeah.' THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT (Bonus Quote!)

You are so over Steven THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MIAMI 'Carrie… Remember Carrie? When they dumped the blood on her? That's what I felt like when I was sitting there.

Solution to Evan Birnholz's July 27 crossword, ‘Captain Obvious Gets a Car'
Periodic reminder: Any comments about The Post's new online crossword format should go to games@ rather than the comment section here. Captain Obvious is back for another adventure. This time he has the keys to go for a spin in his new car. It's not uncommon for me to use Captain Obvious puzzles as semiautobiographical updates on my own life (like when he became a dad, or when he went to the beach while I was in Hawaii), but that isn't the case today. I'm still driving the same car that we've had since early 2020. Some phrases that the Captain couldn't use this week include THAT'S THE TICKET, TOOT YOUR OWN HORN, IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, and PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL.

Breaking down Netflix viewership in 1H25
-- Netflix viewership rose slightly in the first half of 2025, though underlying engagement trends show mixed signals, according to MoffettNathanson. In a note to clients this week, the firm told investors that 'overall engagement grew +1% in 1H25 to 95.2 billion hours,' but noted that 'on a per-subscriber level, we estimate this represents a high-single-digit decrease in engagement.' However, adjusting for the volatility introduced by password-sharing changes, engagement appears more stable. 'On an owner household basis, stripping out the volatility of password sharing, engagement has been steady over the past 2.5 years,' MoffettNathanson wrote, citing Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX)'s own comments on its second-quarter earnings call. Series are said to have continued to outpace films in driving viewership. The firm said series viewing rose 4% year over year to 71.1 billion hours, while film viewership declined 7% to 24.1 billion. 'Original series in 1H25 drove the second-highest level of engagement of any half since Netflix started releasing this data in 2023,' analysts said. Critically, the reception of Netflix's top shows has improved. 'Netflix continues to balance the need of producing a vast amount of content... while also focusing on the quality,' the note stated. However, original films have lagged. 'The reception to Netflix's original films remains muted,' analysts added, though they expect improvements in the second half of 2025, helped by recovery from the 2023 Hollywood strikes and recent management changes. Looking ahead, MoffettNathanson expects engagement to rise. A stronger content slate, including Wednesday Season 2, Stranger Things Season 5, and NFL Christmas Day programming, 'should also drive even higher advertising and further monetization opportunities across its subscriber base.'
