Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:If anybody wanted to air any of Cosby's show now, they should be able to put 'Eminence Front' in lieu of the original theme as a warning. Also, does anybody really play Cosby reruns anymore? The whole show went over nearly thirty years ago, it's hard to tell since I'm not even sure if reruns are a thing again now. It's gone off and on the air a couple of times since everyone found out Cosby was a rapist. It'll be back on in 4 months. Family shows are weird in that even the lead cast member being a rapist won't deter some people from enjoying that good clean fun. Two examples, the fact Duggars are still inexplicably a thing on TLC and Seventh Heaven still being in syndication even though the Reverend diddled kids.

Probably. https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/can-tv-actor-live-off-royalties-forever.htm quote:Actors who play bit roles, or even leading actors whose shows are less successful, also receive residual income, but the amounts are often small -- sometimes laughably so. Actor Jeff Cohen, who appeared in one episode of "The Facts of Life," wrote an article for Backstage magazine describing how he spent a $0.67 residual check. He took it to Maeve's Re$iduals, a pub that once traded a free drink for any SAG-AFTRA check of $1 or less.

That's better than New Zealand where actors on Lord of the Rings got zero residuals ever. It's good to be part of SAG AFTRA.

This was never good. Though it reminds me, there were a lot of reasons the psych movie was terrible, but the one that stood out the most to me was ripping off this scene. Not even a parody, just straight up Shawn concentrating on words. Thankfully it wasn't as drawn out. At least most of the tv show holds up.

That entire episode was full of bafflingly stupid decisions and that is just the most obvious one. It's not the only show to have gone from good to bad but most of them take dozens of episodes to do it.

It's supposed to be a mind palace, which is an old mnemonic device that apparently works pretty well, except a mind palace involves visualizing a place and visualizing the the things you want to memorize as being in locations in it, so it'd probably be more interesting to look at. Maybe use it for some character development, I dunno. Have Sherlock walking around a familiar or unfamiliar location with some surreal and dreamlike visuals or something. It'd probably be cheesy too, but it'd be something.

Laterite posted:In retrospect, there were only actually like two good episodes of Sherlock. The unaired pilot version of episode one and...? the unaired pilot felt a lot better to me at least in part because Sherlock gets caught because of hubris. The taxi driving serial killer sticks him with a needle because he's too busy thinking about other theories to see it coming. Its a small but important change from Sherlock gets into the taxi willingly because ??? Its weird because I don't think the show did age badly exactly, but each successive episode makes you realise more of the flaws that were always there.

I feel like with a lot of shows I watched when I was younger, like Quantum Leap, The X-Files or even later stuff like Battlestar Galactica, I have this idea that they're good because my head is only capable of remembering the dozen or so amazing bits from them, while filtering out untold hours of nonsense garbage. This feels so much more obvious when I remember Sherlock because I always think "Yeah that show was pretty good" and within minutes convince myself "No wait it was mostly awful and you're recalling the one good bit per episode."
