I tried rewatching scrubs recently and I couldn't get through it, it felt super dated. I loved it at the time though.

Just don't pick Suits as your one legal show. If you do, please stop after the first few seasons, it's for your own good.

It’s like That 2000’s Show in how it seems like it intentionally dates itself I recently rewatched the entire thing minus the stupid spinoff and man JD is just about the stupidest, pettiest, meanest character put on television Also it has the weirdest will they won’t they, where they will but then didn’t but then did again only for JD to realize he has absolutely no feelings for her and then years later after realizing that they might as well they finally do again

THere's also weird poo poo like Carla moving in with JD and Turk into JD's apartment, then when they get married they kick JD out like he's the freeloader. "What are you still doing here?" He bought the place you dingus, it's his place.

Oliver goes broke and loses the family home but his half sister Thea comes into money through her father. So she buys this giant apartment and has Oliver move in with her. Oliver proposes to his girlfriend Felicity and Thea moves out. Then Oliver and Felicity break up and Oliver moves out. This happened over the course of a couple of years so either the writers forgot who lived where or they decided that the audience really didn't care.

Where does medical police count on that? Zedd posted:Ann and Chris leaving P&R was well done imo, but they did have to force-rush them back into a couple for that so eh. I just rewatched it, it’s fine. The only major problem was one that it had while it was still airing, Tom Haverford never gets fatally hit by a bus. Ghost Leviathan posted:P&R holds up VERY badly politically. Joe Biden cameos in the pilot, iirc. There’s a pilot? I always thought it was odd the show just started at season 2.

I mean Scrubs has a joke about how Turk has this awesome new flip phone with a camera that's almost half a pixel! And now Turk bought a custom N' Sync ringtone! Like the writers of the show were time travelers intentionally creating a period piece parody

You can also tell Scrubs predates the era of binging because you can set a loving watch to the emotional beats in every single episode. Owp! It's 18 minutes into the episode because a sadboy guitar song is playing over a montague of dead assholes. sweet. i hope the blond doctor says something embarrassing in front of a superior.

See like with the wire, it's a cop show, but also a criminal show, a politics show, a dockworker show, a school show, and a (bad) reporter show. Luckily you are allowed to watch one "the wire" show. And, scrubs has its moments but yeah, the formula gets really obvious and jd gets pretty terrible. Slowpoke Rodriguez has a new favorite as of 23:40 on Mar 21, 2020 |

Breaking Bad ran for six seasons and covered two years in universe. Content: I just watched Knives Out and the one thing that never gets explained is why Fran had a huge spider on her face. What’s up with that?

This reminds me of how when Howard Hawks was adapting Raymond Chandler's hardboiled novel The Big Sleep in 1946 the filmmakers were halfway through production when they ran into a bit of trouble with the plot. At one point one of the characters, a chauffer, winds up dead in mysterious circumstances but it's unclear why and by whose hand or if he was even murdered at all. Naturally they sent a message to Chandler himself to try to figure out who killed the chauffer and why. His reply was "No idea". FreudianSlippers has a new favorite as of 05:11 on Mar 22, 2020 |

P sure that's because they're a mixed-heritage family, their mom's side is jewish while their dad's is christian. Obviously the kids are a bit too young to be able to tell the difference. Funny thing is apparently the ADL got a bit annoyed over the depiction of the Jewish grandparents and the showrunners were confused given they'd just based them on their own grandparents.

Jedit posted:Well, if you want irrationally irritating: the Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953, but every one of the eleven seasons of M*A*S*H has its own Christmas episode. M*A*S*H makes no attempt to keep a consistent timeline with the actual Korean War for almost its entire run. Aside from a Christmas episode every season, I’m pretty sure they have the 1950 Chinese entry into the war more than once, well after episodes that already involved them, plus a good episode that covered all of 1951 in it, or references to generals like McArthur and Ridgeway all at random. Like, ten of the eleven seasons take place in a nebulous 1951/1952 setting (I think the opening of the pilot said it was supposed to be 1952?), and I vaguely remember that the final season kinda-sorta sticks to 1953 as they headed toward the finale. A similar example is the old World War II show Combat! It was very good for its era, being fairly grounded and following basically an American rifle platoon in France after D-Day in the pilot. The war in Europe ended 11 months later, but all 5 seasons are set in generic French villages and countryside, with few real efforts to involve the real progress of the war that I can recall. Both shows are really good and I do like them, just to be clear, but those weren’t things that seemed to be done until fairly recently.

I think MASH was just a thinly disguised allegory for Vietnam. Even though it was set in Korea, everyone took it as a Vietnam commentary. poo poo, when I watched it as a kid I just assumed they were Nam. And my IIMM with MASH is the fact that these surgeons are drunk as gently caress 24/7 and never know when wounded are incoming and it's only ever addressed in ONE episode to my knowledge. Motherfuckers would be straight up botching operations or too drunk to work on a constant basis given how much they're shown drinking.

BiggerBoat posted:I think MASH was just a thinly disguised allegory for Vietnam.

Yeah, a lot of MASH is clearly meant to reflect Vietnam, since the war was still going on pretty heavily when the show started in ‘72. Over time, that faded a bit, and there are definitely some episodes that touch on it being more on the 50’s. And did they have an episode about them addressing their drinking? I know there’s one with a nurse friend of Margaret’s having severe withdrawals, and maybe one of the early episodes with Alan Alda’s dad’s character being drunk (That came to me as I typed this), but I honestly can’t remember it being ever mentioned as an issue for the main cast at all...

There was a later episode during the Potter era where Hawkeye stopped drinking for a while and became completely insufferable (deliberately, to show how much he and the other doctors relied so much on alcohol). There was also a Trapper-era episode where Frank temporarily instituted a ban on alcohol when he was put in charge. Hawkeye, Trapper and Margaret promptly violated it with some booze they had hidden away.

Pretty sure there as an episode where Hawkeye was either too hungover to operate or else went into the O.R. buzzed and nearly hosed something up until a nurse or someone noticed it. It was one of those "personal guilt" episodes that was wrapped in an hour and never mentioned again as all the doctors went back to getting hosed up 24/7. I'm not a huge fan of the show but my parents watched it constantly so my memory of it is hazy but I seem to recall one show where being drunk was a thing.
