Besesoth posted:I can't think of a TV series that did this, but "Jessie's Song" aired about two years after Greg Louganis, an HIV-positive diver, hit his head on the board at the 1988 Olympics and his blood got into the pool; there was a lot of furor because he hadn't disclosed his HIV status. I didn't watch it, but I heard some guys talking about it at school the next day, and one of them said that he got raped in a shower before-hand as well. I never looked into it, but that seemed like something that both would have happened in a late 90's TV movie while also being really weird looking back on it now.

Ariong posted:The Jetsons only had white people in it. Major characters, minor characters, crowd shots - they just forgot to make any of the people not white. The first instance of Internet Racism I was exposed to was a guy in a chatroom saying "You ever see The Jetsons? The future looks bright and WHITE!", and it kind of burned itself into my memory for how funny/wrong it was.

I kind of want to give Flanders' hyper-Christianity a pass when God directly intervenes on his behalf, at his request. That's bound influence your world-view a bunch.

Krispy Wafer posted:Plus the Seinfeld universe was disconcertingly racially pure and I can't help but imagine all of them having some part in the reporting and deportation of undesirables to whatever dystopian government agency handled those matters. That actually happened in one episode, unless that was the joke.

muscles like this! posted:There was a Family Matters reunion photo shoot and they didn't invite the actress who played the daughter who vanished from the show and never got referenced again. I started looking into it and found out that Family Matters is a spin off of Perfect Strangers. What the gently caress, man

I'm still mad that the MacGyver box set has his first name right on it. The only time it came out in the show, you had to read flaming letters backwards.

It's not really that egregious and probably has been mentioned, but Frisky Dingo is awesome in that it has deliberately blatant product placement for a car marque that doesn't exist anymore.

Mu Zeta posted:Another thing unusual is that's she's blonde but dyes her hair black. Who does that, especially in Hollywood? She was doing that way back in early Frasier, so I guess it's really just her thing?

The episode where Worf started jumping through alternate realities probably had one of the Picards with a rad mohawk. That's as believable as Wesley being a command staff officer.

I like how they sometimes forget that they had Mohammed in the Super Best Friends episode, too.
