If you're going with non-prime TV shows, the US soap opera Guiding Light had 15,762 episodes.

9454 since 1960. What's more significant is that Bill Roache has appeared in 2385 of them, starting with episode 1. It's the longest period across which any actor has played the same character, and the most appearances as the same character - one ahead of fellow Corrie alumnus Helen Worth, although she's taken 14 years less to do them.

Face it, the females were too smart to do the dangerous stunts so they used males who wouldn't question it. Such is life.

It’s funny you say that. According to the quote I pulled they did actually use female dogs as stunt doubles.

Why does a dog need a stunt double? Why wouldn’t you get a dog capable of doing the stunts in the first place? Is there really such a gulf in the acting abilities of the two dogs? All great questions

Same reason people need stunt doubles. You don't want to risk your lead doing dumb stuff, and it's easier to teach different dogs different tricks/skills than have one super dog that can do everything.

Some dogs excel at particular behaviors. Some will be stronger swimmers, some better at plank/log walking, those sorts of things.

Chuck Eisenmann , the trainer for The Littlest Hobo, would select them for scenes based on which was most capable to do something like jump through a car window, carry objects (like the rifle by it's sling).

I remember reading an article about him once that mentioned him yelling at and antagonizing the dogs on set, but literally everything else about him and his methods are a positive glowing endorsement. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if most of the other trainers of the era were awful though.

You don’t have to look through old Lassie episodes to see some dog dick. There are plenty of dog dick photos online. I won’t judge.

I hope they reboot Lassie with a female, or at least female-identifying, dog.

You couldn’t show a toilet on TV back then. They probably groomed Lassie’s hair specifically to hide dog dick.

Watching an episode of M*A*S*H that really hasn’t aged well. A nurse is upset because she’s a 28 year old virgin and the other nurses all boycott sex with their married superior officers until someone finally agrees to screw this woman.

Herzog makes his films in such a way that suggests that he's completely hostile to the idea of viewing films. In his earlier films this manifests in the strange imagery, long silences, and the weird ethics of how the films got made. His documentaries add existential dread. It's like "you want to watch a film; I resent this impulse, so I will attempt to drive you to suicide."

One of the biggest differences is that YouTube exists now. I guarantee you they did all the same kinds of stupid poo poo that we did because, well, humans gonna human.

Probably the biggest reason things are more uptight now is because, you know, AIDS. Somebody ran the numbers and it turns out that Gen X, Gen Y, and Millenials are having fewer sexual partners on average than previous generations and are being way safer about sex in general. Of course the Greatest Generation also had to deal with horrifying bacterial STDs before we developed all the antibiotic cures we have now that gently caress them up so I think they slept around less as well. That and the Great Depression screwed them up a lot in various ways.

Even so acting like any generation always saved themselves for marriage down to the individual, never cheated, never had affairs, and never got up to the kinds of shenanigans people do now is absurd. In those days it was a huge scandal if that stuff came out so it was kept hidden as hell when it inevitably happened. We didn't have everybody walking around with a camera on hand at all times so it was harder to prove it. One of the changes now is that we're acknowledging the fact that most people actually don't want total monogamy in a lifelong heterosexual relationship and we're fine with it.

People that act like we're in some kind of moral freefall because *gasp* PEOPLE ARE HAVING SEX WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THEIR LIVES!!!! :derp: are trying to sell you on authoritarianism.

My thoughts exactly. I don't think basic human behaviour has changed much for a very long time, it's just that things are a lot more open these days with the kind of technology we have to record and share things.

I always roll my eyes when some old person complains about young people. I roll my eyes doubly so when they complain about young people complaining.

I've actually heard multiple old people talk about how terrible kids are today with all of their sex and rap music and disgraceful, unsafe behavior then less than an hour later talk about how when they were 17 they'd drive drunk and have all kinds of extra-marital sex while listening to rock music. It's really baffling to hear somebody talk about the moral freefall of modern society then revel in the fact that they were actually worse when they were teenagers.
