Eat some more pills, pill head.

I think this line almost every single time I take a pill. I have two prescriptions, so you can imagine how much that is.

I think of the Dolphin Boy twins from the behind the scenes episode saying "I'm gonna eat the hell outta some pills."

After Harry Goz died, I remember reading that 70/30 wanted the show to end but the network mandated they continue, so they just threw in a bunch of random bullshit like Sharko. After the episode "I, Robot, Really", you can pretty much stop there. There's some good material later on, but the wind in the sails was really gone after that.

I feel like when a show loses its main actor or most memorable character, just bump up the supporting cast to main, and then add a few new minor characters instead of a 1:1 replacement. That 70s Show and NewsRadio had the same problem. They could've made a funny arc out of someone like Stormy becoming the new captain instead of the much more capable Quinn. Though maybe that's more of a studio thing.

Ok help me out on That 70s Show thing: Who died or yeeted their career out the window? The white guy with the afro got outed as a sex pest way after the show was done so did I miss something else?

Are Topher Grace and Kurtwood Smith okay? :ohdear:

The one I'm referring to was when Topher Grace left the show, they replaced him with a dud character nobody liked. Nothing nefarious there, it just sucked.

For some reason when thinking back on it I remember Sharko as a replacement for Marco being more of a thing but I guess not since it is literally two episodes.
I remember this. People complained because he was annoying, but everyone was already loudly complaining about Sealab nonstop after Harry Goz died and Adult Swim gave them more money to keep making episodes. There was nothing they could do that satisfied people as their actors were starting to leave, so at that point 70/30 was just like OK let's troll everyone. Sharko was a troll character and people went appropriately bananas about it.

Aqua Teen had some weird disparities on what counted as seasons too. Season 1 was only episodes 1-9 when it first aired, and the second half of what is now considered season 1 was promoted by Adult Swim as season 2 because it aired about 7 months after the first block. Then all the episodes with titles starting with "Super" began season 3, which are now considered season 2, and Video Ouija started season 4, but is now considered season 3. I think the change might have come when the DVDs were released in volumes, but I distinctly remember them being labeled differently back then.
