Rick and Morty just got a SEVEN SEASON renewal order so you never know.

Speaking of Dick Wolf, L&O: SVU was just picked up for a 20th season, so he gets another crack at that Gunsmoke record he craves.

Like didn't Hogan literally sit around drinking booze in Klink's office and they were basically chums until the camp got (inevitably, constantly) inspected?

I'm not looking this up because the guard gives me all the schnapps I can drink but Wikipedia is blocked on the camp wifi for some reason

Someone very powerful at NBC hates Dick Wolf and will never let the Gunsmoke record fall.

Adding it all up, there have been 51 seasons of Law & Order or it's spin-offs. Which sounds amazing until you realize there have been 66 seasons of Survivor and the Amazing Race.

What? No not at all. I mean Shultz does kind of know but turns the blind eye because he wants nothing to do with anything that could get him in trouble and sent to the western front.

The point is that Klink and co are old time soldiers and not true nazis like the other antagonists. This doesn't make them good but does make them relatable people who arent literally murdering minorities.

Hell, Werner Klemperer was a german jew himself and only took the role knowing Klink was just a bumbling old german solider getting played like a fiddle by Hogan and not a real nazi. Same with John Banner.

Yeah, but Law & Order's plots are ripped from the headlines. So it's just the most dramatic reality show.

A non-reality show won't beat Gunsmoke until Grey's Anatomy somewhere around Trump's last year in Office.

Grey's starts season 15 later this year, tying it with ER. Supernatural starts season 14 but I have a sneaking suspicion it might outlast GA. This is mostly due to Shonda's recent problems with ABC.

That said, really depends on when Ellen, Jensen and Jared decide they're ready to just chill and live off their residuals.

I'd heard that Supernatural could end when it gets to 300 episodes, whenever that is.

Grey's Anatomy will probably beat E.R. which had 15 seasons. It probably has a couple more in the tank.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Why does anyone still associate with The Grey if everyone she develops the slightest attachment to dies horribly several seasons later?

Like the setting almost has an implied supernatural element because there's simply no other way to explain the constant death of this one woman's friends and family.

Klemperers condition for playing Klink was that Klink never came out on top, ever, not that Klink was not a real nazi.

This year. This is its 13th 23 episode season, which is 299, plus the one season truncated by the writers strike. I think 14X10 is episode 300.

To be fair, a lot of reality shows like Survivor or The Voice cheat by having 3-4 seasons a year, while stuff like Law and Order get one. SVU alone has been on the air like, 2 years longer than Survivor or so if memory serves correctly.

Oh sure. Survivor has been on since 2000 or so, that's easily two seasons a year. It's just the idea that there have been 36 of these. I stopped watching after season 8 or so.

When you go back to count the numbers on these reality shows, there's some sticker shock at just how many seasons they've managed and just how boring all of them have been. Between the Bachelor and Bachelorette, 34 White people have given 35 White people a final rose.

Dont forget Robert Clary (LeBeau), who was a French Jew who was sent to the camps as a kid, and still had his number tattoo on his arm.

You don’t have to look through old Lassie episodes to see some dog dick. There are plenty of dog dick photos online. I won’t judge.

I hope they reboot Lassie with a female, or at least female-identifying, dog.

“All the dogs portraying Lassie have been male. A female collie was hired to play the lead in Lassie Come Home, but when an opportunity came to film "Lassie" negotiating some rapids, the female reportedly would have nothing to do with the rushing water. Rudd Weatherwax's collie "Pal" was substituted, and not only stole the stunt but won the role. Weatherwax continued to use male collies in the role for a good reason: both sexes shed in the summer (when most movies and television shows traditionally film most of their episodes), an event called "blowing coat," but since the male has thicker fur, he wouldn't look so scrawny during filming. Also, fans tend to think of Lassie as a "big heroic dog." Female collies are usually 10-15 pounds lighter than their male counterparts, therefore a male dog playing Lassie would look more impressive. Female collies were not ignored because they are any less intelligent; in fact, some of Lassie's stunt doubles have been females.”

Was the potential female Lassie being paid the same as her male counterparts? I think not.
