Arivia posted:You know what else hasn’t aged well? McCoy sleeping with literally all his attractive female assistants. Drop that poo poo (which IS in the court records from that episode Robinette as defense uses it to blow up a case in front of Judge Jamie Ross) and McCoy gets #MeTooed into oblivion. I thought Claire Kincaid is the only one on the show he actually slept with, although they make it clear he also did with two or three previous ones (One being Edie Falco’s recurring defense character and another ends up as a defendant, IIRC) before his character joins the show. AFAIK, doesn’t sleep with any of them after Claire, with most of them shown or stated to be in other relationships, with a few mentions of Ross setting up McCoy with one of her friends and I think recurring mention of him going out with some history teacher at one point later on.

Push El Burrito posted:Who the gently caress is screaming "watch MASH" at my house? Back in the day, we had one commercial television station. The guide in the newspaper often wasn't accurate and they'd fill in empty time slots with either MASH or Happy Days. So you'd tune in hoping to see what was in the TV guide like the football match-of-the-round or some cool movie like Rick Moranis Little Shop of Horrors only to see two loving helicopters and have your hopes dashed. 30+ years later if I hear the opening the bars of 'Suicide is Painless' or 'Sunday, Monday, Happy Days......' I still think ah gently caress, turn it off.

Lol same. That's my biggest memory of MASH, just those first few seconds of the intro when I was hoping something else would be coming on.

Took out flavor of local tv and now what we are left with is incomplete networks that show a little bit of sports and like 14 hours of coverage about the one team they cover.

Also due to changes of ownership and disputes with cable companies, Roku, etc., many people can’t even watch their RSNs these days.

I think MASH came on at like 5:30am for me, right before Dragon Ball Z, so I caught the last 3 minutes of a lot of episodes. I had no idea what it was about, just another boring grown up show.

mind the walrus posted:I think we've accidentally unearthed a weird piece of Millennial arcana because yeah, I had the exact same experience as a kid. It actually makes a lot of sense, MASH ended in 1983, after being the biggest thing on TV for 9 years. "Off-hours" TV back then seemed to be filled more with reruns and movies, so every channel probably had MASH reruns laying around. We just sorta went through a sitcom Renaissance in the years post-mash, so it got more and more diluted as the years went on. Whatever the big popular sitcom was at it's peak or just ended would become the New Mash. I know for a time it was Cheers, and then Friends. I think the big difference now is that instead of having blocks of reruns or movies on a Saturday afternoon, you just get infomercials for Car Shield, so it's not quite as played out. Not to mention the current MASH should be the Big Bang Theory

"Off-hours" TV back then seemed to be filled more with reruns and movies, so every channel probably had MASH reruns laying around. It was always shown here in the slot just before the news. Weird thing was they would alternate between MASH for a few months and then and more recent sitcoms for a few months. Sitcoms like Perfect Strangers, Fresh Prince of Belair, The Nanny, eventually the Simpsons and Seinfeld.

I am doubleposting this here from the movie chat because well, its not about movies: On Ozark season 1 I had constant problem with the Langmores and how Martin handles that situation; some not-connected local hick crime family keeps trying to steal cartel money he is trying to launder and being a constant thorn on his operation, and the cartel just sits on their thumbs and do nothing about it. Nobody actually seemed to care about the Langmores, and the local law enforcement would have probably just been glad that they disappeared. Even if it was with a acid tank treatment, and their camp just burning away. Cartels known for killing people over one missing package now do not care about their half-a billion operation? Yeah, right. And when the cartel in Season 2 actually *did* an intervention, it was about something completely different. So why did they not care about things earlier, even if the entire thing was more or less a trial run to redeem earlier losses? We are still talking about barrels full of money.

I thought at the time they were stealing Marty's money he was still trying to get his operation set up - if he went running to his boss that poo poo had gone wrong they'd be just as likely to decide he wasn't worth the risk of exposure and then he'd end up in a barrel too.
