The Winning Time Podcast | Bonus Episode with Jeanie Buss | HBO

[@mbealhighjump]

Cancelling this show was a huge mistake by HBO! Not accounting for the strike limiting promo, and the overall lackluster HBO slate, it’s a shame they’ve cancelled one of the best shows on tv.

[@maddymud]

I was devastated

[@lordgodspeed1539]

Gross mistake on their part for canceling the show and also canceling it on the ending note that it ended on 😮‍💨. If you could come up with 7 episodes where you end up making an ending to the series-Winning Time that's supposed to be based on the Lakers winning championships, what the Celtics winning a championship at the very end thing last episode of a series based on Lakers winning championships then you could have spent the time to give us at least five more episodes on top where the lake is actually win the championships and end it like that if you're going to cancel this type of series...... LOL for crying out loud....... 😂...... It's unfortunate I really was enjoying this show 😮‍💨

Nice to know Jeannie approves the series. I like it too, good job HBO 👍

[@loststoryproductions]

Because she’s the hero of the show lol

[@AriesExtras]

We need season 3!!!!

[@ahmed-alnoor]

I know there is a strike but this show was criminally under promoted. Barely any effort into promoting it, now unfortunately its cancelled, despite it being a one of a kind masterpiece. I have never known HBO to put ratings over quality, sad to see this happens at HBO.

[@cevest_blirobo7308]

For sure, it was extremely under-promoted! Even on its own platform, it barely got any exposure (it show up twice on my page, one of those times was today); also, I basically had to spell out its entire name every time to find it. All of this was crazy to me since I watched the first season a couple times, kept up with the second season, and I also watched basketball related content on HBO. It’s like they wanted the show to fail ratings-wise. Such a shame.

[@matthewk2261]

Incredible show. I blame the ratings and cancelation on underpromotion and bad marketing. I clicked on it to watch at first thinking it was another Lakers documentary, to pass the time for a moment. That's what it looks like on the channel. This is a dramatic series with outstanding acting and character work!

[@SR-SR2]

As a Laker and basketball fanatic all my life and as a film and television scholar and critic this is one of the best shows ever made!! I can’t believe it’s being canceled! I hope it comes back on another platform!!

Great Show. Season 2 has been fantastic. And Jeanie’s right, John C Reilly def deserves an Emmy nod

[@santiagoespinoza3571]

Please bring back the show! We need more Winning Time.

[@MrThewiz19]

One of the best shows on television. Very well put together. Wish it was never cancelled. The show obviously offended someone who is being too sensitive but that person had enough power to tell HBO what to do.

[@tonyvainuku7160]

One of the best series ever. Loved this. Great to hear that she supports the storytelling.

[@tristan_the_blerd]

Someone needs to pick this show up for seasons 3 and 4

[@loganwinegardner5461]

Cant believe this show is canceled. Never heard of it until it was canceled and gave it a shot. What a great series

[@thegreatone9923]

She looks incredible for 62 yrs old

[@arthurgreene7532]

Jeanie Buss is a class act!

[@Stu-b3o]

Not even a basketball fan and enjoyed this sadly only two seasons fantastic show. I do hope somebody picks it up and we get to see the complete show.

[@lucadapucca]

What an incredible series! The cast, camera work, and editing were all top-notch. It's truly disheartening that it was canceled, resulting in a disappointing conclusion. I sincerely hope the creators take another look and acknowledge the exceptional quality they had at their fingertips

[@juliandarnell658]

Much love to Jeannie Buss for joining the podcast, considering that Jerry West and other Laker players weren't feeling it at all.

[@aspenmiller8754]

We need a petition to bring it back. We can tag showtime or amazon😭😭

[@danielmakary6139]

We were cheated. 5 star show with 5 star acting, not able to truly finish the story. This ending was fit for a season finale, not series finale. Best show I’ve seen in years.

[@matthewk2261]

Agree. 5 Star Acting all around. They really could have promoted and marketed this better.

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Bummer about the show getting canceled. Here's hoping that Showtime picks up the show and changes the name to what it always should have been: Showtime!

[@EliteSports24]

PLS HBO bring back this show for szn 3

[@donjonestv]

Best show Ever‼️

[@nickrock11520]

PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK!!!!!

[@mannyfresh24]

This goes to show how great the show was in the beginning Jeanie seemed against the show thinking it would tarnish her dads legacy but she’s here showing support great show hated that it ended that way..

Season 2 is amazing...one of the best shows on tv..pleass keep it going

[@sagemode1088]

I never watch basketball, let alone play it. But this show was so good it got me hooked. Sad to see it end this way

[@jorgeayala3980]

Love Jeanie Buss 😍

[@aaronmercado8630]

This was the only show I would watch the day it came out, awesome show. Such a bummer to hear it got canceled. The streaming model has produced great shows but they can never last long enough to get a good footing, streaming has ruined so many good shows

[@HectorMartinez-wj8ub]

Well done, Jeanie Buss.

[@tobygreen4257]

I like Jeannie Buss she cares about her team and the game

[@mymagicisntgivingup5908]

She brings what her father did

[@KevinZeigler]

Sad that we don’t get more of this show. This Interview just feels like SALT on the wounds with Jenny explaining how much more there was to be told!

[@jerryzheng7114]

HBO, you all should be ashame of yourself for cancelling the most fantastic show of the decade. Future generation needs this show to familiarize themselves with the most legedary period of the most legendary franchise.

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

This Show was so Fvkking Good Man. Why did they have to Cancel it. they could've brought it all the way up to the Kobe Era.

[@Albey1335]

Imagine the Shaq and Kobe years! That would’ve been epic series

[@chasugc3740]

Canceling this show a huge mistake by HBO, I agree. The Lakers had a slump, and the show got cancelled. It was never given a chance to see the Laker's come back in 1987-1988 and then have Kareem Retire. That would have been excellent. Personally, I think it is still hard for America, not Hollywood, to accept a cast of black leads. If this was about Boston and Larry Bird, it probably would have done much better. But, a show where "certain people" are the supporting cast, didn't stand a chance. This is unfortunately the America we still live in today. It was the same for the "Little Mermaid", to a even worse extent. Hollywood needs to fight for diversity. Enough of "us" watched it and enjoyed it. There just aren't enough of "us".

[@ventanaestudiocreativo]

I always been in love with Jeanie Buss!😍💓💕✨ is so great to watch an interview with her like this, and more talking about one of my favorite shows of all time, I'm going to miss this series, Winning Time was a Masterclass in business and marketing. Love you Jeanie marry me!😁💕💍

[@BigHeartNoBS]

Haha I was a background Talent/extra in the crowd scenes during the season finale. We had to dress all 80s. It was fun!

[@mesquinco]

Jeanie equals Genius!

[@ManuelGalvez-m9f]

My favorite show look forward to it every week sad it got cancelled 😢

[@EL_80]

When I saw her husband on the show I figured she approved of it now.

[@mistermailroom]

If HBO don't consider this great "Winning Time" show worth fighting for, even with their legal department if needed, then it's their fault. We Lakers fans around the whole world deserve to watch the back-to-back, and even the threepeat, told this great way, and Max Borenstein and Jim Hecht deserve to keep writing this story. Please, Max and Jim, take this magnificent series to Netflix, Apple or whoever else. They'll surely appreciate the pure gold they'll be receiving and won't be afraid of any lawsuit

[@basementmadetapes]

Bring the show back

[@Jduhon702]

I hate the lakers and this is one of the best tv shows ever. I will be sick if no one picks this up on another network

[@LAFan]

Just heard HBO cancelled the show. Sad. Even though there were things on the show I did not like in Season 1, overall it was entertaining and I appreciate the hard work by the cast and crew. You brought back great memories of the 1980s and the Showtime Lakers era.

[@MrExBearPoker]

This season was better than last season. Crazy I didn't know views went down.

[@readbooks9985]

Great interview.

[@huntermonzon5231]

Awesome content here

[@Traveler89_89]

I feel like WB is gunna shop this to other streaming giants. That’s my gut feeling for the cancellation. The same that their doing with caped crusader.

[@Justy77]

HBO really need to commission Season 3, 4, 5. I would love to see it go through to the Kobe Bryant years. I didn't think HBO were such bottle merchants.

[@bkboy2384]

Ive had hbo since the 90s....ill cancel it for doing me and this show dirty.....theres just really no excuse for canceling it....its a great show....pathetic old heads making business decisions

[@_United_]

She say "U know" more often than Kyle Kuzma

[@MelvinMansoor]

Jeanie didn’t approve the series when it was on lol. She spoke against it bc she wanted her own show on a different platform. Now that it’s cancelled, she acknowledges it lol

[@isuriadireja91]

I wish somehow Jeannie could and would help facilitate the show to continue... maybe on some other channel. It was so good and a waste to have ended it so abruptly and in a poor way.

[@davidr4523]

Jeanie Buss has to be one of the most beautiful women over 60 years olds on this planet.

[@isaacjohnson3436]

They're so much more to the story. I was looking forward to watching it all play out. SMH.... guess they didn't want to dig all that back up 😂😂😂 would have went down a classic series tho.

[@robpaxson4455]

As a Celtics fan I’m glad it ended when it did

[@Steve-ku8wk]

It seems HBO is no longer willing to fund high quality shows like Winning Time. Sad to think that in current environment GOT probably wouldn’t have been funded for its full run. At least there is the Showtime book for those who want to dive deeper into this era.

[@brya6270]

Jeanie Buss needs to get over her negative feelings of Jerry West and forgive. My understanding is he only pointed out Jeanie dating Phil was a bad thing in the team dynamic. Both, immediately took to treating West like garbage after everything he has returned to what the Lakers did for him. West was successful in everything he touched for LA, player, coach, scout, GM, etc etc. if it weren’t for West there wouldn’t have been several huge happenings for the lakers. Dr Buss wanted West to coach but he insisted that Pat Riley take the helm and success was immediate. Trading for Kobe, signing Shaq and a bunch of other players and trades before Kobe. Love to see Jeanie bury the hatchet (not in his back) and bring him home before his time is up.

[@keithchristy9026]

[@esnoob2282]

why cancelled hbo ? I want this series until the 1991 finals 😢

[@TheTerminator-n3j]

I like the first season and the intro of the show. But I think it was cancelled because people just don't like Califonians. Especially, people in Texas don't like Californians. I also think California has lost its glamour because it seems very depressing. There ia a reason why everyone is leaving the state. Bad education, high crime, high taxes, lots of poverty, and high cost of living will get people of thinking of leaving.

[@ManuelGalvez-m9f]

Theres way more Showtime and i hoping they don1 with Kobe and Shaq bring it back

[@MovieGeek34]

Didn’t she want the show to be canceled?

[@loststoryproductions]

No she was quiet about it but Magic, Jerry West and Kareem hated how everyone was portrayed.

[@MovieGeek34]

@@loststoryproductions it’s funny how magic admits to all this stuff in several interviews in the 90s…does he think people remember that? They can look ‘‘em up on youtube. Lol

How many ordinary people can afford to go to a Laker game?

[@jackwalsh6758]

Why couldn't they do 3 more episodes and end after the '85 chip? F*** Boston!

[@milomirsimonovic576]

If Jeannie thinks the show is good and funny, who the fq are Magic and Kareem to disagree?! Very disappointed, specially by Magic he is a showman for Christ sake... Those old heads killed the show...
