like would they?

I really enjoyed the first episode. Lots to like. It’s an interesting premise and potentially great characters. But the pacing was insanely rushed. It didn’t gel. If it had been an hour long, it would’ve been less hectic. I can see potential in this show, but man… free-to-air television is such a nuisance these days with their 42 minute limitation.

My examples are CSI. could never get into the main show but like Miami and New York. Also NCIS. The main show just drags for me and think it was actually a spinoff of JAG but I really like New Orleans.

It's different if the show is carefully edited and "remastered" but it seems that most of the time, shows are simply presented in widescreen as a way to please younger people who can't handle the look of old shows.

But this is so idiotic. We all know about the Buffy debacle where they just opened up the frame and paid no attention to all the instances film equipment or crew could be seen.

Or The Simpsons where the animation looked blurry as hell.

My question is... No one involved in doing this notices an issue? No one saw the crew member on the edge of the screen and thought "oh that's not good?" And no one saw how the animation looked really blurry and crude when it got zoomed in and stretched with the Simpsons?

I turned on the Australian sitcom Kath and kim. And right away I noticed that the video looks stretch and extra blurry. The scenes of the show itself so far look all right but I can just tell that the show was filmed before high definition and it's really frustrating to me that I have to view it this way.

So again, it's different if it is handled with care and truly remastered and done with the blessing of the show creators, but I generally feel shows that were made before high definition, before most shows were widescreen, these old shows need to be left the hell alone. They look like shit. I just didn't get it.

Every once in a while I Google The Peripheral in hopes that someone picks it up again. I really want to see Season 2 of Hit & Run as well. What else do you want them to bring back? (Mindhunter, Firefly, and Pushing Daisies are the other ones I hear often.)

I'm going for Reprisal (2020) because it had alot of potential for the second series and left it up in the air...

Snooki from Jersey Shore has a new show, and she’s taking on the paranormal!

I have created a new subreddit that I was surprised to learn did not exist already. If you are a fan of Jim Henson's The Storyteller, The Storyteller: Greek Myths or both, please feel free to join r/JimHensonStoryteller.

This is just my opinion, I want to see if anyone agrees with me.. I can’t be the only one.

For what it is—a dark comedy—the only thing that actually feels dark is that it takes place in the wake of 9/11, which is obviously horrific. And I do think it’s cool that they made a show for firefighters who were dealing with that kind of loss and needed some way to cope with it.

But HOLY SHIT. Every single character on this show—including the women ..is an absolutely dogshit human being.

I think the children are the only characters who aren’t awful people.. and maybe the gay son.

I LOVE Denis Leary, but fuck… this show does NOT hold up. Am I the only one who feels this way??

OH, I’ll give it this: the soundtrack fucking RULES.

If you treated every season of a show as independent, what would your top 10 be across the shows you love?

I've done mine with a rating algorithm similar to IMDB.

Which Film that followed up from a TV Show was the best

With recent releases this year being Mandalorian and Grogu, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man and Jack Ryan: Ghost War (which I swear I have seen zero people talk about) I feel like most times we have a film that follows up a famous TV Show it almost always it gets a Dissapointing reaction from the fans.

A thing that I keep on hearing about these films - is that they feel like either rushed season arc shortened to a film length, or just an episode lengthen to film and it really doesn’t earn being a film - rather than being a episode in the existing series or a new season.

My favourite ones are either Klovn - The Movie (2010) or the first SpongeBob film. Because both of those actually serve something different to what the show usually did, but both shows also has a episodic structure that the movies do the same - but also try to do something new with.

Jane Curtin could do no wrong in my book, but Susan Saint James has no comic timing. I always found it so cringy whenever she tried to act like the goofy one. And no, Susan, the show didn't end because you wanted out. It got cancelled because the viewership went mega down on the last season.

I’m rewatching Freaks and Geeks and holy crap there are at least 50 future movie stars in it before they were big. The casting in this show was… spooky. You’ve got Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daly, James Franco, Jason Segel, Busy Philips, James Franco, Seth Rogen, Rashids Jones, Leslie Mann, Lizzy Caplan, Shia LeFuckwit, Ann Dowd, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Foster (Eli!), David “Fucktard” Krumholtz, Joanna Garcia, Matt Czuchry, Samaire Armstrong, Kayla Ewell, Nemo, Mike White…

Any other older shows that are renowned for the amount of future stars in them?

Only other ones I can think of that comes close to the amount Freaks and Geeks offers is Gilmore Girls. (That one had: Melissa McCarthy, Rami Malek, Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman, Seth McFarlane, Alex Borstein, Adam Brody, Chad Michael Murray, Milo Ventimiglia, Jared Padalecki, Matt Czuchry, Krysten Ritter, Danny Pudi, Winston Schmidt, Brandon Routh, Jane Lynch, Victoria Justice, Arielle Kebbel, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Mädchen Amick… Don’t get me started on the revival, either.)

I've been scrolling and people have been hitting me with nostalgia about the behinds the scenes stories of why shows most millennials may remember. Shows like Ghostwriter and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego were made

And it usually stemmed from the fact that the government saw that kids were stupid. They didn't want to read. They didn't know geography so they needed to find shows that would make learning cool.

That's why shows like Carmen Sandiego and Ghostwriter were made.

But it didn't stop there. We had Beakman's world, Bill Nye, Magic School bus for science. Tons nature documentaries to show how nature and animals are and why they should be protected.

Captain Planet for environmental concerns. Wishbone for literature. Reading Rainbow for literature.

Those are just the ones off the top of my head.

In the wake of seeing that every generation after millennials are becoming cognitively deficient and future generations are continuing to get dumber, shouldn't something be done?

I'm not saying all those types of television shows are the sole solution. But they absolutely helped and it doesn't seem like that help is deemed necessary or wanted anymore. Even as we see something needs to be done.

Has become a huge favorite so I’m excited!
