I only got around to the first season but it had some funny and interesting skits. One of the Pinky and the Brain segments got really dark though, in an interesting way. Gonna get around to the second season eventually to see if they follow up with that.

The Animaniacd reboot was great but they ruined the Chicken Boo skit.

Were there lots of gratuitous references to old hollywood and famous movies from the 60s and 70s that aren’t actually jokes?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) there's a mission where you're a CIA operative helping freedom fighters in a fictional middle eastern country and this part made my jaw drop.Polygon posted:During the level in question, the leader of the rebels briefs the CIA officer on the terrain they’ll be using to set up an ambush.

Disney wasn't just cable in the 1980s, but premium cable. Depending on your provider, you'd be paying $5-$12 a month for it, which was also the going rate for HBO. Based on that we did get Nickelodeon, I assume it was included in basic cable.

When I see people talk about Disney Channel, all I remember is Dumbo's Circus and Welcome to Pooh Corner. They were both creepy as all hell. Also where I lived, they weren't actually on the Disney Channel, we didn't have that. It was called Family Channel here. But I'm pretty sure they were made by Disney Channel then licensed to other channels internationally. SulfurMonoxideCute has a new favorite as of 08:34 on Feb 20, 2022 |

Just remembered that apparently Fraggle Rock had different live-action segments for different markets, and it was only a lighthouse in the UK. But it's called Fraggle Rock! How is that not under a lighthouse?! Also that someone thought 'now let's see, what's familiar and appealing to British children? Ah yes, an old lighthouse keeper, as they have in every town'

EdBlackadder posted:I'm in my late 30s and I recall Disney being a CITV thing, I remember they showed Tazmania in the 90s. I don't remember who showed OG Ducktails but I remember watching it. In the 80s and early 90s the BBC and ITV used the 5 minute cartoon shorts to fill random gaps in the schedule that happened because of regional programming differences. ITV generally used Looney Tunes, and BBC used Tom and Jerry. The slightly longer stuff like Ducktales was all ITV iirc. The feature length films were basically never shown at all because Disney kept strict control of them. You used to get an hour-long Disney clip show every Christmas where they'd show clips like the broom scene from Fantasia, but I remember it being a Big Deal when they eventually started showing full Disney films on TV in the early 90s.

How is that not under a lighthouse?! That's weird, I did not know that about the different show versions for US, UK, France and Germany. I rewatched the show a few years ago and feel like it did age well, however. Apparently there is a new one but I don't have apple TV so not sure when I'll ever see it.

I briefly worked for a Blockbuster and the manager talked about how they take care of their Disney stuff because it's so hard to get, Disney kept a tight hold on physical media- an artificial scarcity so people would go nuts when they finally opened the vault for a bit. Seems it ended up a bad idea since they ended up both swamped out of mindshare by their competitors and just encouraging piracy, and then caught completely flat-footed by digital until they finally caught up. Disney took even longer than the music industry to catch up to the 21st century, and they're lucky it didn't break them the same way.

My 70/80s UK childhood had me absolutely convinced that lighthouse keeper was just another possible occupation one could achieve, like nurse, train conductor, or farmer. Obviously the reason I've never met one was because they were too busy having extremely isolated adventures that test their rugged psychological fitness. I can respect that.

I didn't give a poo poo about Disney during the day, could only watch it at my grandparents house anyways, but at night they went into the Vault and showed Zorro and Davey Crocket and older cartoons, especially Goofy ones, and those were great

Man, I wish lighthouse keeper was still a job. I'd love that so much right now. Safe from COVID, plenty of time to read and watch movies or video games, get to enjoy nature, work that is regular and meaningful and actually helpful to people. God drat that'd own.

They always need more ice-core drillers at most Antarctic research stations. McMurdo Station has a dedicated repairperson for their bowling alley as well, as it’s some kind of temperamental 50s technology that not many people know how to fix these days.

When I was in elementary school we learned the Disney song Zippity doo dah in music class. It's a cute feel good song. The teacher wanted to show us the movie it was from and said how difficult it was and that he'd been looking for years and finally found a copy. It was Song of the South.

When my grandma was young, before she married, she worked (as was usual at the time) as a live-in maid/housekeeper for a family. The family of the lighthouse keeper right here:  Yeah, the lighthouse keeper had his whole family living out there, kids and all. (It's close enough to the nearest populated island so you can easily row back and forth when the weather is a bit calmer.)

I am eager to see how horribly Disney does the live action Hunchback. I believe they've decided not to do Pocahontas but Hunchback might be a push hard too. Of course all will be forgiven if they just dub over whatever schmuck plays Frollo with Tony Jay's lines.

It showed up, at least in part, in my elementary school music class as well. I think it must have just been “Zippity Doo Dah” as it appears on “Disney’s Sing Along Songs,” but I could have sworn it also had the tarbaby fable - but that doesn’t seem to line up with the various releases mentioned on Wikipedia.

Safe from COVID, plenty of time to read and watch movies or video games, get to enjoy nature, work that is regular and meaningful and actually helpful to people. God drat that'd own. There's a seasonal job here that's kind of similar. Forest fire watch. You live in a tiny cabin on top of a mountain for fire season. No electricity aside from a solar panel and a generator but they'll helicopter drop you supplies and food. I've considered applying for a season, I may still do that someday. I learned during covid and the few years prior when a chronic illness got severe that I am exceptionally good at hanging out by myself all the time. There is an issue with morons not respecting your space sometimes. I was chatting with one a few years back after a hike, and she said a lot of people like to hike at night, which I do to, but they're apparently unaware that someone lives in the building and they shine their lights in the windows and sometimes they to get in. She ended up carrying up a bunch of handmade signs telling people to stay away unless invited, and to never use the outhouse so it doesn't overflow.
