Although the funny thing is that Tom Cruise hurt himself doing a stunt so they had to take a six week break on filming MI. So he totally could have just shaved it.

Also, putting on a CGI mustache is probably way easier and cheaper than using CGI to take a mustache out. Paramount are just being assholes.

I read about this story and thought about the cg moustache suggestion back when it first came out and Jesus Christ this is the first time I thought, hey, what about a regular fake mustache make up can whip up in an hour under 20 bucks

Every actor who shared a scene with him is definitely a pro because I don't think I could hold a dialogue with moustache superman without at least giggling the entire way through

The show Murphy Brown hasn't aged well. Who could have predicted that Dan Quayle jokes wouldn't hold up twenty-five years later?

bean_shadow posted:The show Murphy Brown hasn't aged well. Who could have predicted that Dan Quayle jokes wouldn't hold up twenty-five years later? That was about five seasons into Murphy Brown out of 10, wasn't it? There's lots of programmes like that which had very long broadcast runs that just didn't leave a massive cultural footprint. I remember looking up how a lot of those Steven R. Bochco / David E. Kelley police and lawyer shows went from being number-one shows that monopolised the Emmys in the pre-West Wing / Sopranos era to never getting a complete DVD release in America. Dennis Franz won more Emmys for best drama actor than James Gandolfini did for The Sopranos and as many as Bryan Cranston did for Breaking Bad. NYPD Blue lasted for 12 years; its last season coincided with the first of Lost. See also: Candice Bergen winning best comedy actress five years in a row for Murphy Brown, then Helen Hunt winning four times in a row for Mad About You. See also: shows like thirtysomething and Picket Fences (and to an extent L.A. Law) which either were nominated or won the best drama award every year they were on and today just aren't remembered.

TV wasn't prestigious at all pre Sopranos so Denis Franz winning a bunch of Emmys means nothing. ER was way better than NYPD Blue anyway, which also didn't look anything like new york.

purple death ray posted:Picket Fences remains amazing to this day and I will never forget it  It was an actually good show that successfully mixed quirky characters and interesting drama of small town life. Plus it had that weird episode where the son was going through the nocturnal emission phase of puberty, and one of his wet dreams was of Lauren Holly in lingerie with a game boy and chocolate cake.

They did not shy away from basically anything on that show. I started watching it for the funny lawyer man and the cranky judge but I was hooked on the way they would tackle topics like teenage sex, puberty, school shootings, death, and anything else that happens to real people, and poo poo that didn't, like when the youngest kid got loving stigmata It was simultaneously super grounded and relatable and completely bonkers weird.

I also remember a weird moment where for some reason that made sense at the time, a cow's udder literally exploded on Tom Skerritt's face. Man, what a weird show in retrospect.

I was just reading about that episode and even though I've never seen Picket Fences, it would have made for a pretty awesome idea for a crossover.wikipedia posted:as the story goes, David E. Kelley and Chris Carter (creator of The X-Files) were talking in a parking lot on the Fox lot one day and thought it might be interesting to have Mulder and Scully visit Rome, Wisconsin for an X-Files episode. Originally, the two shows would be shot with different viewpoints– one from the X-Files perspective and the other from Picket Fences'.

Besesoth posted:I can't think of a TV series that did this, but "Jessie's Song" aired about two years after Greg Louganis, an HIV-positive diver, hit his head on the board at the 1988 Olympics and his blood got into the pool; there was a lot of furor because he hadn't disclosed his HIV status. I didn't watch it, but I heard some guys talking about it at school the next day, and one of them said that he got raped in a shower before-hand as well. I never looked into it, but that seemed like something that both would have happened in a late 90's TV movie while also being really weird looking back on it now.

A lot of his older stuff is hard to watch too, but I am pretty sure it's mostly the Friends thing where it's been copied so much it's cliche but it wasn't then. The entire concept for what a youtube video is was so different back then too.

What about the time he forcefully kisses her as she smacks him in the side of the head to stop him before realizing she wants to gently caress him again? I think we can all agree that's just normal everyday human courting. Nothing predatory or creepy about it.

I nominate "The Big Bang Theory" but that's more a 2010's thing. I do not get the appeal and popularity of that show at all. "Two and a Half Men" is another one. Stupid garbage.

Don't get it at all. I'd say "Two and Half Men" and "The Big Theory" haven't aged well but, like you said, they're ongoing but always sucked from the beginning to me so probably don't count. I wonder if they'll live on in syndication like Cheers, Taxi, All in the Family or MASH. Who likes this dumb poo poo? I've TRIED to watch it I just posted those two shows in reference to the "Ally McBeal" question, re: forgettable crap that was popular for some reason at one time.

Probably stuff like One Tree Hill and The OC. The peak "Is that thing still on?" show for me is Grey's Anatomy (it was that and Bones, but I'm pretty sure Bones is done now). I'm not sure if it'll get that "huge forgotten show" status. We'll see.
