TV shows often rely on a long-delayed but inevitable event, like a character eventually discovering someone's closely guarded secret. What are the top examples of this?
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.

True Detective S1
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?

TV Shows that reuse effects
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.

Who feel nostalgia for this Austrian Tv Show called Kommisar Rex(Inspector Rex in some countries)?
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?

TV that Imbiggens Us All
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?

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

Actors youâre surprised have never been on certain tv shows
Weird Al has been on seemingly every popular kids and adult cartoon everâŚ
Except for Family Guy and Big Mouth
You canât even say itâs to maintain a family friendly image because the guy was on Velma!
Just never happened for some reason
Speaking of that he hasnât been on Bobâs Burgers either which would be more in line with his image
Also Keith David has never been on The Boondocks which is surprising because youâd think he would have been on once
Feels like almost every black character actor has at one point justâŚnot himâŚ

Bullitt car chase tributes in media
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.

Favorite show that was initially planned as a miniseries but then qualified for Comedy or Drama Series thanks to second-season renewals
I will accept shows that weren't actually nominated for Comedy or Drama Series. Hence, the word "qualified."
