I wish I were a crazy Ryan Murphy level TV guy because I just had a killer idea: Make a series that is a shot-for-shot adaptation of the first season of The Real World, but with actors.

STAC Goat posted:I watched like the first five minutes of [Fuller House] and its basically ever character walking in and basically explaining what they've been doing for the last couple of decades and then someone says "Where's Michelle?" and they say something about how its a shame she won't leave NYC and really hope she'll come and visit some day soon and then they all stare into the camera. I kind of appreciate that they didn't waste my time stringing out the "reveals" (like some other reboots).

Sometimes I legitimately forget why or how Ellen DeGeneres is a household name at all. I mean she's great, but large parts of her career just kinda vanish from my brain.

I think it was the whole ZOMG SHE'S GAY thing that shouldn't have been a big deal but middle america made it into this huge thing for like 6 months. It sort of feels like she got banished to talk show land because she doesn't really act at all anymore.

She was a middling stand-up comic that somehow got a sitcom on a major network. She's a much better talk show host. Also I forgot she was in the Finding Nemo movies.

Tibeerius posted:Same. My morbid curiosity was satisfied. Yeah, it managed to perfectly satisfy my curiosity and answer all my questions without making me sit through anything new i wasn't actually interested in. I didn't turn it off because I was angry or anything, I just got exactly what I was looking for and could turn it off satisfied that I'd never be curious to look back. Thanks, Fuller House, for frontloading it and not trying to lure me in.

That's pretty much everything. Ellen Cleghorne and Mitch Mullany had their own shows proving that literally anyone could get a tv gig.

I don't give two shits about what whacked out views she has in real life, the Roseanne reboot was real good and I hope they work out a way to bring it back full time. It was always one of my favorite sitcoms anyway and it feels like they didn't even miss a beat.

Krypton is confusing a bit. So is this Brainiac from the future that also came back in time or did he send himself a message? And Georgina Campbell's hair is on firggin point, I'm loving the shaved in pattern she's sporting.

Rhyno posted:That was a dark time for television. Married with Children is terrible and Roseanne (at its best) was really drat good, so you may have had just a weird childhood. also Cheers is probably the best older sitcom left where none of the most important cast members (shouts to Coach) have passed away so they need to get on that poo poo. Plus you've got your Obnoxious Hot Takes About Conservatives quotient because John Ratzenberger is an occasional Fox News guest and everyone knows Kelsey Grammar is a really obnoxious conservative, plus I think Kirsty Alley has said some dumb poo poo too. And on the other end you have Woody Harrelson, who is basically a commie.

it should also be pointed out that CBS really wants in on this sitcom revival game but they've already brought Kevin James back to TV, and the only other really classic sitcoms they've had have lost cast members so unless they make Some People Don't Particularly Like Royce Starring Ray Romano Again, Murphy Brown is like the best chance they have until we're all old enough to have nostalgia for How I Met Your Mother (where they can do the same thing to it's terrible ending that Roseanne did)

STAC Goat posted:Weren't there recently rumblings about a How I Met Your Father revival/spinoff/clone? There was supposed to be one immediately following the original show’s end but it never made it past the pilot, and then I think the script was retooled more recently and then passed on again. Honestly I think that they’re probably just gonna wait a few more years and then do a continuation focused on the kids, probably called “How My Daughter Met My Son-In-Law” or something stupid like that.

Wikipedia says they revisited the idea in August 2017 and hired someone to write the script, but since there's nothing in the 7 months since then I assume it died.

And for the full spectrum of American politics, Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen are good friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Truly a diverse spectrum of American politics. (I was also kinda right about Alley, she endorsed Trump in April 2016 and unendorsed him after the pussy tape came out)

So I heeded the annual list and watched Patriot, what an amazing loving show. Has anyone been able to find a song list for the season? I know Amazon released an EP of the songs John sings but I'm obsessed with the instrumental piece playing when he's climbing the stairs in episode four and struggling to find it.
