Ugly In The Morning posted:Law and Order SVU aged so bad. Why can’t original l and o, or CI be streaming anywhere? Those were fantastic. I'm pretty sure there's a broadcast/antenna channel that does a huge block of Vanilla Law and Order (and maybe CI, occasionally) episodes once a week. I think "Ion" is the channel. But I seem to think everytime I've turned it on and seen a random episode they've been post-Briscoe/Logan ones. Just eyeballing their schedule for this week: It looks like 16 Hours of Vanilla in a single day, but they all seem to be season 15/16 episodes.

Not so much an episode, but a small pop culture segment from SNL's Weekend Update. I think it's a Tina Fey/Jimmy Fallon episode, but the exchange goes something like: Fallon: *something about the Lord of the Rings movies, gets characters names wrong.* Fey: *Corrects the characters' names* Fallon: *coughing* "Nerd" *coughing* Given how hugely important and popular the nerd/geek stuff has gotten in the last few years, the joke in 2014-onward would be the person NOT knowing the names of all these character being called stupid for their mistake.

I think they show Law and Order, Blue Bloods, Criminal Minds, and Psych. I’m sure there are other shows but they seem to show those ones in like 8-16 hour blocks constantly. I don’t even like the shows (except Psych), but I’m pretty sure I think I’ve seen or heard at least half of the episodes for each one.

There was actually a Treehouse of Horror comic where this happened; Lisa was listening to too much Madonna, became possessed and started dressing up like Madonna and then Lovejoy had to exorcise her.

A while back, my media player clocked a few episodes of the Big Bang Theory in at 19:20 with theme song, characters standing around while the audience laughs, commercial stingers and credits to the Chuck Lorre text at the end. It's a lovely show, and the episodes are too short.

Ion only shows like seasons 12 or 13 and everything after that. WE TV, however, also does large blocks of the original series a few times a week and they show everything prior to that, maybe with one season of overlap, but not past season 13 or so.

When it's on, GoT is basically the only "water cooler" show that just about everyone discusses in my workplace. The only one that comes close is Derry Girls and I'm pretty sure that's just because it's a local show. Other than that, I can't think of any other programme that has people asking, "Did you see X last night?" when they get in.

SomeJazzyRat posted:Why make jokes about cruddy old scary movies when you can do the most biting satire audiences have ever seen! I don't get this complaint. Those movies were all a big part of pop culture (maybe paranormal activity less so) and Simpsons have always had references to current pop culture events. gently caress I think the idea of them just redoing Avatar but changing all the cat people to Kang and kodos aliens pretty clever.

Nah, they're very different EADAs. McCoy and Cutter's antics are entertaining but Stone's strong, unshakable beliefs really help get the show going. "American Dream" is a top 10 episode for sure, and that's all Stone.

Avatar can't be behind the times because they've still got like 2 sequels planned. By the time James Cameron gets all his sequels done, the Simpsons will be celebrating their 45th anniversary.

Though they are being filmed two at a time and Cameron has said if the first one bombs he won't make the last two.

The Chuck Lorre text at the end is the only redeeming part of any of his shows. They aren't even that great in reality but just the idea that his stinger is a page-long manifesto detailing his thoughts life, love, economics, the nature of reality that's been going on for 20+ years is loving hilarious to me.

A Krusty the Clown send up of IT seems like a no brainer this year. You've already got the clown and the kids right there. Hire me, FOX. To stay on topic: man, the Treehouse of Horror episodes used to be a real high water mark for the show. I think you can gauge the quality of the seasons based on the THOH episodes alone and the last 10 or 15 of them have aged terribly and most weren't any good to begin with. They were great when they were riffing on classics and standards of the genre (The Raven, The Shining, King Kong, Omega Man, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dracula, Twilight Zone, Monkey's Paw, Night of the Living Dead) and seem to have gotten worse as the've tried to be more contemporary. Several of them aren't even horror movies.
