ThatGirlAtThatShow posted:Look, I'm a big cool internet toughgirl in 'real life' or whatever, but I say to you, with real, honest tears, that the light from Mr. Rogers' candle will NEVER go out, and I firmly hope that will be true. Exactly! The good that people do lives on after them, at least as much as the evil, and the good things that Fred Rogers did had a particularly long reach  on the topic of the thread: I never did get the appeal of Gilligan's Island to begin with, but some of the earlier episodes go from zero to yikes especially quickly when they stumble across a ridiculously racist "comedy" Japanese stereotype character. He's seriously like the distilled essence of those nasty propaganda images Dr. Seuss drew during WWII (and later really regretted iirc) delivering poo poo-tier fauxriental shtick that was old and hackneyed when vaudeville was young Also, I think he showed up in > 1 episode, too, so somebody watched that poo poo and said "yes, this is what I would like to see more of in this television series"

Early seasons of Red Dwarf managed some pretty impressive effects on a budget, and instilled in me an appreciation of really good physical models and effects (the opening credits for the first couple of series owns, iirc, I’m mobile posting or else I’d have a link ready) and it was usually funny and reasonably well written that said, I can’t speak for anything past the eighth series b/c I haven’t sought it out and I genuinely don’t know if it’s worth it

Inspector Gesicht posted:Excluding the Simpsons what are the most embarrassing attempts by gone-to-seed creators at trying to remain hip and relevant? if Groucho Marx seemed out of it for Skidoo, it was possibly because (as he mentioned when talking about the movie later) he tried weed for the first time during filming, iirc Mae West’s last movie was also a big old trainwreck, from what I remember, basically on account of her complete inability to concede that she was no longer young, hot, and provocative I’ve also never watched Laurel and Hardy’s last film, because even the stills from that production look like posed corpses

heck, one of my favorite tv channels nowadays has reruns of You Bet Your Life and Basil Rathbone’s Sherlock Holmes, and it’s pretty nifty it also has really old Dragnet, from before anyone realized how it sounded describing suspects as “cauc”s (short for Caucasian, or honky), which never fails to make me giggle like the idiot child I am

there’s a youtube channel (official, I believe) releasing an episode of The Real Ghostbusters a week from the start, and at the very least the first handful or so hold up well on the design and animation fronts. of course there’s top-tier voice acting as well, and a surprisingly catchy tune or two thrown in it’s a kids’ show, but so far it’s definitely a little more  than  in ways that show

minor counterpoint: to my mind, a big chunk of Hank Hill’s admiration for Strickland is him casting about emotionally for a father figure who didn’t openly despise him, and Buck in his turn instinctively fastening himself to by far the biggest mark in his office. I don’t know that Hank could overlook the many glaring faults of tmurp without that psychological incentive to look the other way

I dig what you’re getting at; I guess what I’m trying to get at is whether the dysfunction between him and Buck Strickland would inoculate him from the brain spiders, as I’d posited, or leave Hank primed for further exploitation. and now I’ve typed it out I’m no longer so sure of my initial assertion

at least Dan Harmon’s discussion of his misconduct (from the previous page) comes off as someone who talked briefly in the same room with introspection. hell, if you’re willing to be generous—fair enough if you’re not, but for the sake of argument—he might even possibly have had shame for his actions on the phone in a conference call. in comparison, loving lmao that Whedon SatansOnion has a new favorite as of 11:58 on Jan 18, 2022 |

Torquemada posted:The only time I've ever heard the phrase 'in a coon's age' was when Joe, the old boss gangster, says it in Reservoir Dogs: something about a combination of Tarantino, Lawrence Tierney and potty-mouthed bank robbers made any explanation other than racism risible. I only ever heard it used in the Will Smith Wild Wild West, in a context that is indisputably using it in the most racist possible way there's a lot about that film I admit I don't really get, but that exchange stuck in my mind as especially baffling on basically any level at which you care to analyze it
