Also that show had some wild plotlines. Remember the aging pill they tested on everyone and Cyril's hair turned all white? Iol

My parents used to have a 32" Sony Trinitron TV with picture-in-picture that is, by a WIDE margin, still the heaviest goddamned thing I've ever had to lift in my life.

Degrassi TNG, Metalocalypse, and Assy McGee

Freaks & Geeks gave me a permanent thing for skinny, bespectacled guys, so there's that too

I saw Metalocalypse "live" here in Albany and goddamn was it a loving awesome show. The drummer they had was next level elite.

30Rock ran into the 10s but it was the best example of one of those network sitcoms at the time and was one of the funniest shows ever

"It's not a Lemon party without old Dick!" is in the Pantheon of great jokes. They really hit their stride when they moved away from focusing so much attention on the show-within-the-show, which is why "Studio 60" tanked.

There's also a line where Octavia Spencer plays Harriet Tubman, and she demands that it gets changed to Harriet Tubgirl.

Also the exchange where Jerry Seinfeld threatens to buy NBC (to turn it into the biggest Lane Bryant in Midtown!!) and Jack starts laughing and says "Yeah right, like you've got $4 million just laying around...." before he catches himself.

Scrubs is awesome, it was really funny when it was funny and actually quite sad in a lot of parts with some layered characters. Also it had a whole ton of hot girls in it.

Yeah especially the Brendan Fraser episodes.

One of the defining traits of the decade was the desperate effort to make increasingly outrageous reality tv like Who's your daddy and eventually wound up giving OJ Simpson his own prank show that was one of the most confusing and bizarre things to ever be made for tv.

This is a great read on the absolute insanity of making that show from a guy who was hired to work on it (from an ad onCraigslist lmao)

quote:

The guy who let us use the mansion was a scumbag on many levels, but had also invited over all his equally scumbaggy buddies�large middle-aged guys with big bellies, all of whom were slamming down copious amounts of Red Bull and vodkas and getting increasingly drunk and aggressive.

"Yo, coach, I'm a tiger on the loose. There's no stopping the Juice," rapped OJ with the gangsta rapping finesse of a fourth-rate Shaquille O'Neal. The only time I become nervous on the set of Juiced was when OJ's girlfriend (a heavy job title in itself) started flirting with me. OJ kept looking over. I got nervous because I CLEARLY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST GUY IN THE SAME SITUATION! By no means did I want to see OJ's jealous side!

Bad energy was afoot. The only thing missing from this volatile mix was loaded firearms and oily rags near open flames. I knew there was going to be trouble; I just didn't know when. Do the math: OJ Simpson + strippers + mansion + drunken big-bellied men. How the hell do you think a night like this will end?

I remember the Tom Green skit where he showed up to a guy's house as a "Cheaper Pizza Company" or whatever and offered to undercut the actual place the guy had ordered from. Then the homeowner came out of his garage with a loving hammer and Tom put an end to the skit real quick lmao

Tom Green is so cool that Eminem made fun of him, then Tom made a parody of his song, and Eminem just let it slide

I remember hearing someone who worked on his show talk about how they were always very nervous about any time the police got involved because Tom was still a Canadian citizen and if he got arrested or convicted of an offense, there was an extremely good chance he would get deported.

One time I was in my car in a really bad rainstorm and I saw some guy walking get absolutely nailed by a huge splash of water from a passing bus. I laughed my rear end off but I felt bad at the same time.

God that was funny.
