I'm the only one insane enough to remember the Mighty Ducks cartoon (username probably not related) and that was a lot more comedic than I remember. It was basically a hockey-themed TMNT wannabe.

I guess this is the defacto "old TV" thread, so anyway: news of Jack Bannon's death broke today, and you've probably never heard of him. He was my favorite member of the ensemble of the great late-70s/early-80s newspaper drama, Lou Grant (one of my favorite shows, even though I only discovered it a few years ago, and definitely one that either aged poorly or really well, depending on the episode and your knowledge of cultural and historical contexts; in any case, the performances were great all around and won a ton of awards, all forgotten now). He lived a good, long life, but I was really fond of him and his character on that show, so the news was sad, regardless. If you've never watched it, why not check out this two-parter? Episodes that focused on Donovan were rare enough, and so having him at the center of a two-parter was like treasure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awesiwtJNXM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqF8jqtU0R8

Inescapable Duck posted:Nobody wants to make television easily available down under, but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend does sound like my jam. I find crazy people to be identifiable protagonists. And hey, it's Yellow Diamond. Carrie Fisher in Blues Brothers. I don't think Jake is supposed to be the good guy in that situation, but her pain was still played for laughs. In retrospect her reaction seems warranted except maybe for blowing up the flophouse. I hope that one guy got to enjoy his cheese whiz. I think almost all depictions of crazy ex-girlfriends from the 1980's are sexist in retrospect. It was a good decade for man-child misogyny.

The point you're making is not necessarily incorrect, and yeah, Jake was definitely a creep (but he was our creep, c.f. pretty much the entire Belushi oeuvre), but everyone in The Blues Brothers was pretty much insane and unreasonable. That's most of the fun of it. Still, I don't think "crazy ex-girlfriends" is always and forever a misogynist, sneering "bitches be crazy" thing. The way being jilted makes one bonkers has been a staple of comedy pretty much since they started making the stuff.

And years later when I finished a popular 7 book fantasy series *MAJOR spoilers!* The Dark Tower I was like huh, that's basically the same ending as mighty max.

I was actually thinking of the movie "Blind Date" where Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger are stalked through the film by her ex-boyfriend/fiancee. About 95% of the time, though, I think he's just coming off as a self-perceived 'nice guy' who insists he's just trying to protect Basinger, while he still comes off like a total creep who can't accept she's through with him. At the same time, it seems like all his actual overt threats, anger and violence are turned exclusively towards Willis. Been so long since I've seen the film, but rewatching a clip on Youtube, Basinger's character makes a comment along the lines of, "He always following me, I've moved twice to get away from him" and the whole thing is played for laughs. In 2017 I'm sure that it'd be a more questionable to use something like that for a joke.

The full series of Mighty Max was one of the first childhood-nostalgia shows I torrented when I expanded my storage space, that show was the tits and had some legit good voice acting for an early 90s toy commercial re: Tim Curry vehicles of the early 90s though, Peter Pan and the Pirates caught some piece of my brain in about 1991 that never let go, I wrote an anthology of fanfiction for it when I was 11 and added the show to the overarching Peter Pan canon that I love so much. It was a godawful show objectively but it was one of those early 90s things that stuck with me. See also: seaQuest (things that haven't aged well: Ted Raimi, Ted Raimi's ability to get work that his brother isn't involved in)

At the same time, it seems like all his actual overt threats, anger and violence are turned exclusively towards Willis. There is an episode of Two and a Half Men where Jon Cryer's girlfriend is pursued to a restaurant by her ex-husband and the whole thing is just a comedic game of one-man-upmanship between Jon Cryer and his girlfriend's stalker (she makes some comment about how this behaviour has got to stop but this is quickly silenced). It reminded me of the lazy dialogue in Problem Child 3 where the current partner and ex are quite literally sack racing for the woman's affections, despite her protestations that "[I'm] not a prize to be won!" What I'm trying to say is, proving bravado against your partner's ex is not as essential when you, y'know, ask your partner how they actually feel.

Tiggum posted:Wait, so there's a game that generates different monsters based, somehow, on what audio CDs you put into the console? How does that work? RNG based on data on the CD iirc, something based on the metadata, but there were some unique monsters you could generate from certain CDs/DVDs. Off the top of my head, you got a unique owl thing in MR 4 if you put in a harry potter DVD.
