I was just watching a syndicated episode of The Simpsons and it made me wonder, does anybody still do clip shows?

Her coworkers, White Josh, the neighbor chick... the ensemble is keeping me interested while I cringe over all the main Crazy Ex stuff. Not that the main course of the show is bad, it's just so awkward that it needs the balance the rest of it is bringing.

Tatum Girlparts posted:Does every medical show need an episode where... the evil CPS eagerly stealing a poor man's child and now this one where the moral seems to be 'no gently caress this lady and her DNR I know best'. The latter one is a staple of doctor dramas, for sure. Also, an obvious victim of domestic violence must be convinced to seek help/press chargers against their attacker. Also also, a child whose frequent illnesses and injuries are the result of Munchhausen's by proxy. And then, the tired cancer patient who would rather just live out her last days in grace, but doctors/friends/family must convince her to resume chemo. Of course there's the one with the doctor/intern who keeps such strenuous hours that he's resorted to raiding the pharmacy for a pick-him-up.

Manos del Sino posted:The latter one is a staple of doctor dramas, for sure. Yea they tried to switch up the second one in the CPS episode. See it LOOKED like Munchhausen's but in reality SHE was faking it because he mom died and her dad kept wallowing in grief so the only way the daughter could get attention is by faking her OWN chronic illness! But of course the dastardly CPS couldn't accept 'no the kid's a little liar' and still took her away, but the noble doctors were v. mad and helpless at how bad the CPS is. Also the VA is bad too, but a brave ex military doctor yelled at a random VA doctor to teach them what's for.

Party Plane Jones posted:You're talking about the Showcase Syfy shows, all of which premiered on Showcase because they were Canadian productions. Syfy just had US broadcast rights. As I recall, the first season of Battlestar Galactica aired in the UK like three or four months before it did in the US due to a financing arrangement, too.

Well my sister just posted a trailer for a new Full House series. After twenty years of hearing Bob Sagat say some of the raunchest things in human history I do not how I feel about him playing Danny Tanner again.

BSG aired earlier in the UK and SG-1/Atlantis at various times aired earlier in Canada and people pirated the absolute poo poo out of them all. It was a total ratings bloodbath for Siffy in the US, yet nobody really learned anything from it because it just kept happening year after year. As I recall, Ron D Moore tried begging US fans to at least watch the late as gently caress airings of BSG. It took until very recently for the BBC to realize that airing Dr. Who way later in the US was hitting their ratings. But they still air it hours later for some dumbassed reason, so it still gets pirated. IRQ fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Feb 10, 2016 |

I may be a big old sap, but the first shot of Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) on The Flash this week gave me goosebumps. Brings back happy memories of similar awesome crossovers like those on Buffy and Angel.

After the first couple episodes, the musical numbers have dwindled to just being two or three spots per episode, and they aren't bad or overwhelming. This isn't one of my favorite shows of the season, but it's decent enough.

raditts posted:If you have nostalgia for Full House, you haven't seen it recently enough. Hey, Uncle Jesse made it work, why can't they? He's in much higher demand these days than either of the Olsen Twins. Not even one of them was available? Actually it would have been funny if they continued to do the whole switchout thing they did when they were young to avoid keeping them on set for too long. Each one looks significantly different than the other, and sometimes the characters comment on it but Michelle just shrugs it off like she has no idea what they're talking about

Yeah there's like 3 different police departments that want to talk to him. The Olsen twins chose not to return, apparently. They're not busy, they just don't want to do it. One of them quit acting like 10 years ago too.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I have nostalgia for it the same way I have nostalgia for every other sitcom I grew up with. Family Matters, Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, Friends, Home Improvement, Step By Step, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, etc. While some were better than others, none of these were really great shows and I'll admit that, but I still watched them enough to be nostalgic for them. Those were all way loving better than Full House, though. Well Step By Step wasn't but there are legit awesome episodes of Fresh Prince that still hold up.

Fresh Prince's only hinderance as a TV show is being '90s as gently caress, it still holds up pretty well despite that.

A reminder that Netflix's most successful thing ever is the racist Adam Sandler western. They know their audience.

Netflix has a plan to cater to every audience, and to find new, weird audiences to cater to that have previously been underserved. I'm sure they have some sort of advanced algorithm based on what their subscribers watch that lets them know levels of demand for a concept. Like, say they get a pitch for a dark time travel show with a strong female lead, they can determine whether there's an audience for it. I assume their algorithm determined a Full House revival would be popular to a sufficiently large segment of their subscribers.

You can also link your Netflix account to Facebook and Twitter so maybe they mine that too? Because you once posted an "only 90s kids" meme... Because you watched Loose Change on Facebook... Because you voted for Trump... Because you used to tell racist jokes in college... (that would probably be the same as the last two) Then there's one category for my aunt where it's just the Minions movie 50 times.
