I liked how they handled it in Galavant. Where all the main characters break out into song and the extras all try to avoid them because they're acting ridiculous.

I'm pleased to see that the thread stopped turning into the "I used to jerk it to/want to smash X actress" thread.Milo and POTUS posted:Attacking people is never cool but I admit I'm kinda amused at the idea of somebody doing it because they think GoT was a documentary and couldn't understand how Joff came back to life.

Joffrey didn’t retire rich from GoT, all you guys who don’t know what tv actors in second tier roles get paid. He could maybe buy a house. A small one, in an ok town.

IIRC that only happens a few times with the monks and when they start singing the season 1 song at the start of season 2. Oh, and with Galavant’s moment in the sun of course. What a show.

Chicago Hope had a musical episode in 1997. The Dennis Potter miniseries The Singing Detective with Michael Gambon was partly a musical (one of the half-dozen or so genres it had) and it is one of the greatest television series ever made. Wheat Loaf has a new favorite as of 08:32 on Oct 18, 2018 |

There was a photo I saw recently of the cast of Enterprise on set with some of them dressed in Rocky Horror costumes. It makes me wish that had been an actual episode: Halloween on the Enterprise.

The Fraiser talk has reminded me of the only time I ever saw my mum laughing so hard at a tv that I thought she might pass out and it was the little scene where Niles is ironing his trousers to classical music. There is no dialogue just slapstick acting and my goodness is it marvellous. If it ever comes up on TV, and it is usually in some best of comedy compilations, and she sees it she will laugh herself silly all over again

It’s funny how for us millennials Frasier was the bomb but Cheers might as well not exist as an actual show. (You still need the theme song and the phrase “where everybody knows your name”). It shows you how clearly and where the line of childhood is.

I remember some confusion when an Adventure Time episode has a guy in the freshly post-apocalyptic world sing that song to amuse a child and a lot of the audience including me didn't know where it was from. Some poster (not on SA) got really mad and confused at the idea that people wouldn't know it. Seems like Frasier plays pretty well to kids too, surprisingly, even if they wouldn't get a lot of the jokes.

Cheers had too much... going on. Frasier had fewer moving parts and was easier to digest. I've been meaning to revisit the episode where Frasier has an old family heirloom that turns out to be a Fabergé egg and he is super excited at the idea of being long lost royalty.

We're descended from thieves and whores. Also, Cheers has the same great snappy dialogue and jokes as Frasier but has aged a lot worse mostly because of Sam's misogyny. He's not really supposed to be the "good guy" but some of his escapades with women are pretty appalling

I'm the same as your mum — it is an incredible piece of classic slapstick, and I can't help but laugh myself mental whenever it comes on. It takes serious skill to pull that off, and DHP makes it look so easy.

They don't get paid much from GoT, but everyone involved in GoT is in super high demand right now, so you still get the money. That does not work when you retire right after your character dies, though. Maybe Joffrey was still rich from all that Dark Knight money.

No one ever seems to remember Not Necessarily the News even though that's how Julia-Louis Dreyfus got her start and she's still married to her co-star from that show. It's probably aged horribly.

I am also SO partial to his self admonishment about running with scissors. Goodness it is just an amazing bit of character acting. Eddie watching intently really sells the comic absurdity.

Push El Burrito posted:Bob's Burgers has at least one song every show and it's perfect. Bob's Burgers works (mostly) because most of the songs consist of dumb little things the characters like to sing to themselves in-character or incidental background music, with the occasional brief dream sequence. The actual musical bits are still usually not good.

Yeah, I remember watching Frazier growing up, but it wasn’t until about a week ago that I started watching Cheers. Definitely worth it IMO.

Everyone knew he was a sleeze with women so the "Good old Sammy" comments were more 'there he goes again, here's my not surprised face'.

All the stories of "Mayday" Malone were about him being black out drunk and giving up like 5 home runs an inning as a relief pitcher.

So as well as some Python sketches dating badly, turns out elements of Graham Chapman's funeral didn't age too well either:Wikipedia posted:A private memorial service for Chapman was held at St Bartholomew's on 3 December, two months after his death. The service began with a chorus of the hymn "Jerusalem" sung in Engrish with a mock Chinese accent.
