You know, The Nanny totally holds up, at least up to where I'm watching. But is it me or does it look like, gauzy? And I don't think it's a transfer quality issue, even when originally airing it always looked very de-saturated and kinda blurry. Looks like a soap opera but shot at 24fps. Is it just me?

swickles posted:Nope, a lot of 90s shows look like poo poo because of taping on video, and of course pre-HD. Its why there are all things AI projects to make HD versions of various 90s sci fi like Farscape and Star Treks, because there is nothing to remaster. I mean Friends started a year later and it looks way better and sharper, but I do think it's that the Nanny is all pastels and light colors while Friends is a little bit more colorful at least in clothes because it's the most whitebread show ever.

I just realized that all those jokes the nanny makes about old tv shows are self referential to characters the cast used to play way back when.

It cracks me up how blatant the popular 90s sitcoms were when they were trying to set up a spinoff. It just stands out as a tremendous sore thumb. This episode of the nanny has had a total of two minutes of Nanny Fine and the Sheffields and 20 minutes of skunky new yorkers working in a skunky beauty salon desperately trying to be likeable and survive the entire running and failing miserably.

GreenNight posted:90s? Supernatural tried the same thing a few years back where Sam and Dean were in it for all of 5 minutes. Yeah but 90s sitcoms were especially blatant. They always follow the same formula too, the episode starts like normal, then they Go To A New Location with All The New And Likeable Characters where they spend 75% of their screentime setting up their relationships, then the original show characters show up again for a minute or two, then the episode ends.

I'm not opposed to spinoffs, my all time favorite TV show is a spinoff, I just thoroughly enjoy how blatant and poorly conceived most 90s spinoff setups were done. Like Cheers didn't have an episode where they all went to Seattle to meet Frasier's wacky friends and off-kilter family; Cheers ended and everyone adored the character of Frasier so the writers all went well, why not and TV royalty was born.

Ugh, finally got to the Nanny episode that cameos a certain fat dotard. What a curse on my TV. EDIT: Even over twenty years ago he already looked like old microwaved poo poo

The Nanny was such a weird show that put itself into such a weird position. They could only do the will they won't they for so long, to the point that it was absurd that they weren't dating even after Mr. Sheffield took back the thing, and then they get married and where else could the show go?

I am doing my biannual F.R.I.E.N.D.S rewatch starting from a random episode and man I gotta say David Schwimmer really should've had more of a comedic career but I can see why he didn't, since he'd just be playing Ross the Divorce Force over and over.

I was gonna complain about why the The Bris episode of Seinfeld was so bad especially because of one particular character in it but then I looked up the actor who played the worst part of it and got sad.

What's the episode that's most representative of Seinfeld barring the Chinese restaurant? I posit the dinner party

If Friends were rebooted for the modern times, I assume Chandler would work for Google, Rachel would be a Starbucks barista, Joey would be a wannabe Youtuber/Twitch streamer, Phoebe would be into QANON, Monica would have a taco truck and Ross would probably still be a paleontologist right?
