Gaunab posted:I know there are Law and Order episodes that didn't age well but I can't think of any specific ones at the moment. There's an episode of the original L&O that aired in like the first season that was about AIDS and so now when its on they put a disclaimer at the end saying the info is out of date. Mainly because it was done before before there were effective anti-AIDS drugs so the characters treat it like an almost instant death sentence.

BioEnchanted posted:I remember Disney Doug made weird changes to the characters, like suddenly Roger and his mother were loaded. Disney's Doug really screwed up everything that made the show unique. Like was previously mentioned Doug was supposed to be a show about a normal kid having normal kid problems and then Disney's Doug started and everything started becoming completely outlandish. FELD1 posted:I remember seeing something floating around the web about how Mr. Frond (from Bob's Burgers) dresses really similarly to Doug, and that Mr. Frond is a representation of Doug as an adult: a broken, deluded human waste who still desperately wants to do good in the world. Sounds about right. Nah, Mr Frond is a callback to a character that was used in King of the Hill (there's a lot of overlap behind the scenes.) Hank ends up having to go to an anger management class and the teacher looks like this:  He was played by David Herman, who also voices Mr Frond. Edit: This is what Mr Frond looks like for those who don't know.

BiggerBoat posted:The idea of "The Six Million Dollar Man" cracks me up nowadays but basically just because of the price tag. I'm surprised they're never rebooted that show. About 10 years ago they did a remake of The Bionic Woman but it flopped and was canceled after one season.

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:Doesn't rent-control usually only apply to people who live in a place at the time the rent-control is enacted, and then the landlord can jack up the rent when the old tenant leaves and a new one moves in? So any of these people in these shows buying or wanting to move into so-called "rent-controlled" buildings wouldn't be getting that sweet low rent anyway, right? My understanding of the situation (from watching a bunch of Law & Order) is that rent control would stay if you were related to the person who originally lived there when the price was fixed. So you can't just move in to a rent controlled apartment, you have to have some kind of "in."

Guy Mann posted:On a lighter note, season 3 had an overarching plotline about a campus rapist that was at one point going to be played by Michael Cera and he even appears in the premiere as a tour guide before scheduling conflicts made him give up the role. Even back then the cute little nerdy kid from Arrested Development playing a rapist is pretty Well, if you really want to play "what if?" with Michael Cera's career he actually auditioned for The Sixth Sense back in the day. That would have certainly propelled his career in a different direction.

He didn't want anything to do with movie adaptations long before Watchmen. IIRC his main issue with adaptations is that people were constantly bugging him about them when he had (and wanted) no involvement. Like he asked for his name to be taken off credits after V for Vendetta when Joel Silver started making claims that he approved of what they were doing with it.

They kind of did that for the last season. Topher Grace announced he was leaving at the end of the previous season so they cast Bret Harrison as "Charlie" the son of one of Red's old war buddies. He was very clearly written as the New Eric character but he was so bad that when the show came back the next season they killed him off-screen.

I believe Groening eventually talked about the black Smithers thing and it was just a coloring error. They had quite a few problems with the studio they originally went with including having to basically redo the entire episode about the babysitter who robs people because everything was completely off model and out of style for the show.

Doctor Spaceman posted:It's weird watching shows from the mid/late 90s where smoking was still kinda okay, especially when those shows run long enough to later use it to signify that a character is unlikeable. Yeah, in the 80s smoking became a punchline to show a character was stressed but not shown as something bad.

The dub talk reminds me of a really weird decision made when Fox got the rights to Escaflowne. They didn't air the first episode and instead started it on the second with just a recap of the first. Which was really stupid since the first episode sets up the entire plot of the show but it didn't have the titular armor so, gently caress it.

Mister Olympus posted:It’s not like this is a bad marketing decision limited purely to the U.S. dub industry; Victory Gundam’s original run in Japan got the same treatment. Episode 1 in terms of plot is Episode 4 and it ends on “hey here’s how we got here” and then airs what was supposed to be 1/2/3 as 2/3/4. There was also the Yu Gi Oh anime which even in Japan cut out the beginning of the story to get right to the part where he plays fake MTG. This means it completely glosses over the whole thing about Yugi getting possessed by ancient Egyptian king who straight up ironic revenge stuff to bad people.

I never watched Mad TV after the first season or whatever but I remember a big problem they had was overly milking recurring characters. If a character proved popular they would put a sketch with them in just about every episode.

Original L&O started in 89 which was still in the bad days of NYC and crime. So a lot of early episode focus on the city being a shithole with drugs everywhere and all sorts of slums.
