Reply to comment by myeff in Old talk shows like Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett, Letterman, etc. - can someone explain why the rights holders don't simply put every FULL episode (I know some of Carson's are forever gone) on YouTube and monetize them? by Swampfoot
YouTube copyright claim is so funny. I wanted to put up a fanedit of airplane 2 (basically I took out all of the jokes that were just repeats from Airplane and ended up with a funnier -I think anyway- 60 minute version) and got copyright striked for... 7 minutes in the middle, the only part they noticed was from airplane 2, not the rest of the movie including the paramount logo and title

American writer credits typically use an & when writers are working together as a team. "And" means the writer or writers listed after rewrote an existing draft. So in this case, Michael Tolkin and Leslie Grief wrote a draft, then Tolkin, Toscano and Hynes significantly rewrote it

Same producers! They also made That 70s Show.

You're gonna have to dig pretty hard to find 80s family sitcoms that don't fit this mold. Married with Children and The Simpsons were intentional mockeries of this because it was so widespread and being sick of the phony wholesomeness helped lay the groundwork for a lot of 90s cynicism

I dunno if I'm alone here but I never really liked Cliff Huxtable. He seems to really hate his kids. I get that it's a shtick and he's there at the end of the day and all that, but his super stern "I'll literally murder you if you sit in my chair" thing rubs me the wrong way

There's definitely some added orchestral stuff when she's running from Vecna but it's subtle.

End of season 5 is a good ending of the show to me.
Edit - to be clear, it's not just that it gets worse afterwards. It actually feels like an ending, and the characters are all still people we want to watch.

One thing that really bothered me in the first book, and this is assuming im remembering it correctly, is that he's injured the whole time, doesn't get to sleep, eats a single hamburger...and is just doing action hero shit the whole time. I had trouble suspending my disbelief, a few hours of sleep for him would have really helped the plausibility

Reply to comment by OctoberRust13 in why do series shows always have so many seemingly random people directing every episode? by OctoberRust13
As tv shifts towards shorter seasons that drop all at once or are in post production for months, it's getting easier to work around the production problems others have mentioned that stop a season from having a single director. One other thing I haven't seen anyone say yet is that the director of the pilot IS extremely important as, with very rare exceptions, they set the tone and look of the series that future directors imitate and build on.

JD would watch a show called Scrubs about a doctor named JD and fail to catch the similarities until someone pointed them out to him lol

The credit goes to whoever sits down and actually writes the episode, but that person will be following an outline, beats, and sometimes dialogue from the whole room.

It's going to be that kind of historical revisionism where a character makes a speech about how things should be more just and then everyone just kind of goes "oh, I never thought of that" and society becomes more just

I'm more of the mindset that a show having a bad part doesn't mean the whole thing is bad. Old expression, but "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"

I typically let a pilot do its thing. I've seen a lot of pilots, and a lot of the time it's just like "OK, that was neat, not really interested in seeing more" but sometimes I get hooked. Of course if I see people raving about something I gave up on quickly, I'll sometimes reevaluate.
It got a lot easier once I gave up "having" to see a show all the way to the end once I'd started, which I gave up on because Glee and Once Upon A Time both crashed creatively in their second seasons then went on for YEARS more.
