Metal Loaf posted:I was born in 1991, so I need to ask, was there really a time when Bart Simpson was the edgiest character on the telly? The correct answer is that it depends on where you're from. Here's a sort of long introduction about how the Simpsons broke all sorts of ground on American TV in the early 90s, but the sort of stuff that the Simpsons revolutionised -- deadbeat parents, very soft anti-establishmentarianisms, corrupt public officials or other types of authority etc. -- were all very well trodden ground in other countries, with that sort of stuff having been done for decades before in UK media at least (despite your link being from some guy from the UK).

Wheat Loaf posted:I was into the Disney Afternoon stuff like Darkwing Duck ( It wouldn't be Live and Kicking (or whatever ITV equivilent was going out at the same time) without a near-unbearable half-hour gap between the first and second half of the cartoon filled with "wacky" studio antics that wound you up for the whole time as your patience was wearing thin. "BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO SPIDER-MAN"

) and TaleSpin. I remember the Disney Channel in Britain had this sort of "all day Live and Kicking" set-up, where there'd be stuff with presenters in the studio in between cartoons, who'd run competitions and take viewer calls. Then there was always a movie at 7pm.

ToxicSlurpee posted:I've always been very, very confused at people bitching about musicians trying to make money off of their music. If a person is a professional musician then music is literally their job and they have to worry about how to make a living off of it. I can understand bitching about bands that are selling concert tickets or whatever for $500 and being legitimately greedy but complaining about "being in it for the money?" Well...that's why people go to their jobs. To make money. Non-music people (i.e. people who don't or aren't interested in the inner workings of the music industries) conflate the brashest and most successful artists with just about everybody else, and/or the jealousy of not doing a "real" job (despite the fact that the vast, vast majority of musicians make £gently caress all off music).

whiteyfats posted:The video for Scream was over a million dollars, I think. It was the most expensive music video at something like $7million, and the average cost of music videos in the late 90s was around $1m (source: an issue of Billboard I can't remember when trying to find any hard data about the cost effectiveness of music videos).
