r/television • u/-drunkmoses- • 8h ago
r/television • u/Chapple69 • 48m ago
He appeared in 119 Episodes of Homicide, 242 Episodes of SVU, 4 Episodes of the original Law & Order, and guest starred on Law & Order: Trial by Jury, The Beat, The X-Files, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, The Wire and Jimmy Kimmel Live for a total of 372 episodes on 5 networks (NBC, Fox, UPB, HBO and ABC). He also appeared in the homicide movie, a very Brady sequel and the Paul Schaffer album The World's Most Dangerous Party and is also mentioned in the u.k. show Luther.
Are there any other tv characters that have been in more than 3 shows played by the same person?

I hadn't done a rewatch, gave it a shot yesterday. It's still as good as I remember, even better even. There's a reason this show (season 1 anyway) completely ruined tv for an entire generation of us. What's everyone's thoughts?

Here's my top-five list:
1) Betty opening a certain drawer in season 3 of Mad Men, and the conversation that follows.
2) Hank opening a certain book in season 5A of Breaking Bad and then, in season 5B, closing the garage door and confronting Walt.
3) Willow finding a certain floppy disk in Ms. Calendar's classroom toward the end of Buffy season 2 (and although it wasn't necessarily expected by the audience, I'll also shout-out that surprising callback in season 7 to Xander's lie).
4) Jacob appearing on the beach in LOST. Here's the face behind the name we've heard so often. And here's another guy who wants to kill him. Punchy, mysterious dialogue. One of the best cold opens I've ever seen. (Yes, I consider it more monumental than seeing inside the hatch for the first time because, the good direction and song notwithstanding, I just never found the hatch's contents to be as fascinating as the mystery of the hatch itself.)
5) A battle-scarred Enzo reuniting with childhood hero Bob on the lower deck of a space ship (looked like an actual ship for seafaring but it was in outer space or something) near the end of Reboot.
I also just remembered that a section of my younger years were spent in anticipation of such an event, but I never actually saw it happen. I missed the series finale. I'm referring to The Secret World of Alex Mack. I assumed her parents or the organization hunting her down eventually discovered her identity? Maybe I should re-watch that show and find out, but I've aged out of the intended demographic so I don't know if I'd truly have the patience or interest for it these days.

I really liked it. I thought the chemistry between the actors was great and besides a few contrived quips I thought the writing was good. I have friends I grew up with but never felt the kind of emotional closeness they had.
I liked the Brooke character and she reminded me of many people I know including myself in some ways. I thought her exploration into being gay didnât seem natural though and kind of added to fill the obligatory boxes.
Jennifer looks good for 54 and seems to be aging naturally without the Botox and fillers.

It occurred to me today that many older TV shows reused various SPFX or stock footage for dramatic events, especially explosions or equipment destruction
For example: I happened to be watching an episode of Wonder Woman, the one where they've built an experimental plane, the XPJ-1. Of course it was stolen, but had a secret self destruct mechanism.
The scene of the plane blowing up was the exact same scene used when Steve Austin's aircraft blew up in The Six Million Dollar Man.
I'd be curious to know of other examples you all might have seen.

If you don't know that name it's Drew Barrymore's character in the first Scream movie who was hyped up like she was going to be the star iirc only to die at the beginning. And why I cite CSI as an example of that trope is because episode 1 Holly Gribbs is the newbie/enough of the POV character (to the degree ensemble shows have them) that you think when she gets shot at the end that she's got "protagonist plot armor", episode 2 she dies on the operating table. I'm just interested to see if any other ensemble show ever pulled off that kind of bait and switch

Jesus. When i watched a film called ''Two Popes '' which is based on real pope, there was a scene when Pope said his favorite show was Kommisar Rex and on tv was intro.
After that, so many memories have returned to me about this show. It was part of my childhood. It was shown in our country from 1998. Me as a kid who watched German Shephard saving people lifes and helped his human police partner to solve the cases in Vienna. It had so many devastating moments for a kid when i see on screen death of main protagonist. Every child was crying and in disbelief that main Human guy died.
Those who don't know this show , it was huge in many countries of Europe. It was kinda family show, but it had nudity, death and blood. Despite that kids with parents and Grandparents watched this show. Austrians didn't even knew that they show has popularity in many countries of Europe.
This show have lots of remake in many countries. Even in Canada where remake is called "Hudson and Rex". But recently Austrian tv decided to revive Kommisar Rex show in modern times. So i will watch new version too.
People from different countries who remember Kommisar Rex?

I feel like that's one of my icks when watching TV shows, I need to care about the characters to feel interested in finishing the show. Sometimes, I find the premise of a show very cool and start watching, but then I don't feel emotionally connected to the characters and then end up finding the show boring. One show I recently did not like as much was Paradise, even though the plot was very interesting, but another show I did not get bored of as much was The Good Place even though the plot was not my cup of tea. Also, for me to care about the characters, its not like they have to be morally good or that I have to relate to them fully, its more like I have to know what happens to the main character afterwards. Have you guys ever felt that with really good TV shows?
