I'm not going to read through hundreds of pages, but I'll add the Cosby Show's "barbecue sauce" episode as one that should never have been filmed, and definitely did not age well.

You don't watch Scrubs for J.D., Turk, Elliot, or Carla. You watch Scrubs for its true hero, Dr. Jan Itor.

For background shows, I would play The Nanny while grinding poo poo in Guild Wars 2. It's a pretty decent thing to have in the background, but I like Fran Drescher. I can see how her voice might be enough to make people shut off the show.

RBA Starblade posted:They really ramped up the insanity early too Loomer posted:And if you ever want an in-universe explanation, we've seen that literally all of them are down with huffing some glue, spraypaint, or petrol from time to time. The gang's increasing derangement is clearly a product of solvent-induced brain damage. I love how quickly the gang has devolved into madness, especially when they are confronted with the truth that they are not as cool or normal as they think they are. It also gives them the flexibility to film really different episodes like the Charlie Work, Frank's life, or when Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs.

Yeah, the one thing you can definitely take from Scrubs is that people who work in the medical profession are crazy, and doctors and surgeons are more often than not hugely arrogant assholes. It's not a good show, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. I love Two Broke Girls, but I'll be the first to say it's a terrible show.

Even right before Hamilton came out he was still doing crap like "Do No Harm" a modern day Jekyll and Hyde show that lasted half a season. To be fair, if someone came up telling me that they wanted to do a hip-hop opera about the Founding Fathers, I'd probably tell them to lay off the booze.

I enjoyed Breaking Bad in the first season because Walt was relatable and sympathetic. He was someone trying to provide for his family who got dealt a bad hand in life, finding out he had cancer and that the treatment would bankrupt him. He was kind of an rear end in a top hat, but he wasn't pure evil. Once it started telegraphing that Walt was turning into a crime boss/monster, I lost interest because there are way too many shows on TV about unsympathetic characters and I get depressed way too easily to waste my time watching that garbage.

Although, in the vein of this thread, Frisky Dingo does have the problem of a few too many rape jokes with the character of Ronnie. Never trust a Russian named Ronnie

Casey Finnigan posted:I know I'm late on Breaking Bad chat but I think a lot of the reason why people got so attached to Walter White was because the first episode laid the pity party on so thick. He really kinda seemed like he had the worst life in the world. Although when you hear his backstory you find out his lovely situation is mostly his own fault. I feel the same way, and just consider it more fatigue with the cynical anti-hero obsession. Sometimes it's nice to have good guys being good for goodness' sake rather than out of some contrived selfish desire.

I think a good rule of thumb is that people who consider themselves to be "relationship experts" are usually full of poo poo. See Dan Savage or Steve Harvey.

I just remember that he was a good voice (edit:) against ridiculous anti-gay stuff. Dan Savage's go-to relationship advice is "open up the relationship." I get it, some people are poly and can handle that poo poo. Others, like me, are not.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Adult Swim seemed to thrive on rapid-fire nonsense humour and taking the piss out of formulaic show premises. There's something very specific about it, especially with mocking all the cliche-ridden Hanna-Barbera shows no one ever really cared about. Though a lot of them seemed to run out of material quick or take it in different directions. A lot of the line-crossing humour hasn't aged very well, though. Also probably isn't quite as funny if you hadn't spent some hours watching Hanna-Barbera repeats when really, really bored. It still does. That's what the Eric Andre show is, and it's fantastic.

'80s cartoons look great when you see stills of them. It's not until you start watching that you get hit with the reality of how lovely they were. The choppy animation and stilted dialog really make it hard to watch. That being said, Thudercats rules and its opening is better than anything else on TV today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcGNqrAtsgg

Gaunab posted:There was this weird action movie trend in the 90s where they'd have the main actor play twins. It added nothing to the story and seemed to be there so they could do wacky twin hijinks. Maybe Sister Sister influenced a lot of people. Sad that Steven Segal didn't do one because you know he doesn't have the range to play two people and he wouldn't want to play the wimpy twin. It's also disappointing because this would have been a masterpiece of disaster art.

Araenna posted:Inuyasha had a lot of good backgrounds. They'd do a fair amount of long shots of backgrounds, especially near the beginning, to save money. The ones of the past were especially pretty. They also used them to help establish and reinforce the difference between the Edo era and modern Tokyo. Always felt like it was one of the shows that used cost-cutting like that to their advantage really well. Honestly, Inuyasha could be really pretty in general. I got sucked into Inuyasha when Toonami started airing it at night, and 100% agree. It's very pretty when it wants to be, but good grief that show starts to drag. I never could finish it.

I did enjoy the Shippo episodes that bought them some time, but mainly because Shippo slowly won over my heart as the best of the companions.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:You've probably seen more by now, but just in case: skip the first season entirely before judging it. Also, episodes have more weight when viewed in sequence than popping in randomly, where you don't get the full context of everything going on. I think Season 2 through Jim's & Pam's Wedding is a good stretch to start and stop watching.
