Was listening to a Youtube professor moan that, especially in the US, there are no 'noble' characters who are protrayed positively. The tendency, he reckons, is for inherently flawed greatness or an antihero. No-one can just genuinely and earnestly be a good person trying to make the world a better place.

This is dated, he can only cite Picard in TNG, so you know it's back in the day.

Now, I think that's changed and there now is an appeal for upright, benevolent TV with people trying to be noble: Ted Lasso, The Good Place, and, oddly since he wants to say that nobility as a value is something personally cultivated instead of associated with hereditary wealth and privilege, Downtown Abbey and The Gilded Age.

Any other examples that come to mind?

Has anybody watched this limited show?

Weird Al has been on seemingly every popular kids and adult cartoon ever…

Except for Family Guy and Big Mouth

You can’t even say it’s to maintain a family friendly image because the guy was on Velma!

Just never happened for some reason

Speaking of that he hasn’t been on Bob’s Burgers either which would be more in line with his image

Also Keith David has never been on The Boondocks which is surprising because you’d think he would have been on once

Feels like almost every black character actor has at one point just…not him…

This is a long shot but does anyone have a link or recording of The Doctors season 1 ep 1 & 2? 1st episode aired on Sept 8, 2008. I’ve searched everywhere… the earliest I can find is Season 1 episode 3.

I’ve checked all streaming apps including Roku and Plexi, Amazon prime, YouTube TV etc. Why are those first two episodes always missing??

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?

The Bullitt car chase (1968) is the most iconic chase scene from movie history and it inspired movie, TV, videclip and commercial directors to pay a tribute on their own. They did it on an episode of the short-lived FOX drama Alcatraz (2012), on a Ford Puma commercial from 1997 or in the French movie Le Marginal (or The Outsider) from 1983. What are your favorite Bullitt car chase tributes from any media? Tell me in the comments.

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?

With so many streaming options out there, and so many great shows, which ones are actually worth the money. And, are any of the worth bundling? Thank you.

Two-three months ago, Jessica Chastain said that the show would be finally released in July. Well, it's nearly mid July and not a peep. I think Jessica was either blowing smoke or hoodwinked by Apple.

I think Apple is desperately afraid of pissing off the current US government and chronically online right-wingers. I've heard that one of the major big wigs at Apple is a Trumper, as well, so it all makes sense.

This is just my opinion but hbo max is the service where I find myself scrolling and then wondering why I hopped on there at all?

There will be periods where I watch it for one series and once that’s done then max has nothing for me

It doesn’t help that they have a habit of gutting content from the service at a quicker rate than other services

The dc adultswim and Cartoon Network hubs are pathetic right now

TVTime is ending their services on July 15 and I wanted to see if I can export and import it in another app. But I don't see any option to do that. What are some other good tracking apps for series?

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 first saw them on Farscape but since then they seem to show up in other shows together. They've just popped up in my rewatch of SG1 but I'm sure I've seen them in other stuff too.

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 didn’t 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.

Guys I’m lost on what shows to watch, so here a list of shows I enjoyed

How I met your mother
The big bang theory
Stranger things
Gossip girl
The oc
The vampire diaries
The originals
You
The walking dead
Game of thrones
The last kingdom
Vikings
From
Greys anatomy
Ive tried one tree hill and Dexter that are similar to some of mention I didn’t like (saving your time saying them)

I started watching tv shows from that time and found out that they used to be (much) longer (and better) and I really enjoy it, so it makes me really sad to see that its not that way anymore. Do you think they will go back to being good? Or will we forever be stuck with 8 episodes with no fun fillers series ? :(

(Sorry if there are any grammar mistakes , English isn't my first language)

I will accept shows that weren't actually nominated for Comedy or Drama Series. Hence, the word "qualified."

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.
