So instead of clogging up the board I’ll just post this here and break the thread rules a little if that’s ok
Did he mean a "post credits" scene or "post a scene"?

Fernwood Tonight was greatness.
Hard to think of a spin-off that excelled so much further than it's parent show.

Andy Griffith off of Make Room for Daddy maybe, though Danny Thomas' show was a hit show as well (just isn't as iconic as Andy Griffith became).

And NYPD Blue itself is a soft sequel series to HSB.
My point was that NYPD Blue was such a leap forward. LA Law was sort of a bridge between Hill Street and NYPD, and it was clean and had the soap aspects of Hill Street. And then NYPD Blue hit and it was kind of a shock for TV, being that dark and edgy with it's camera work, and the characters themselves being so dark and almost humorless (except for Upstairs John).

Michael McDonald looks more like Hugh Laurie.
And sings more like Anita Baker.

As a young kid, that show was weird, ugly and not funny.
Weird for sure, and difficult for anyone under 18 to appreciate.

It's the grandfather of all the great modern dramas.
It doesn't age well, but at the time it was considered "gritty and real". The main reason for the aging is that the genre leaped so far forward so quickly with NYPD Blue.

But it's still entertaining as hell, well written, and if you can reset your mind to the mid-80s it's a great watch. Same with it's companion series, St. Elsewhere.

You'd prefer that people just lay back and never call out the absurdity?

That should be a sub-reddit for the M/TV Board.

The greatest strength of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was Diana Rigg.
Underused and underrated actress. Her final roles in Game of Thrones and Last Night in SoHo showed what we missed from her last few decades.
Boring episode. My wife predicted the Whatever Happened to Baby Jane banquet. The only entertaining twist was the reveal of the faux prince.
He goes full Larry in episode 2. Look for Ellison to exile Curb to the new Discovery Dissident Channel.

I guess I'm in the minority but I thought the WW1 skit was by far the funniest.
I think all of the skits were hit and miss. I laughed out loud at some part in each skit. The Rosa Parks punchline was telegraphed, but that didn't make it any less funny. The actress' reactions to Larry made it great.

To know something resembling the truth you have to watch multiple opposing media because I don't think any of them tell the whole truth about 95% of stories.
Everyone should belong to a gym that has FOX News and MSNBC, side by side on their television array. 15 minutes of cardio and reality check, daily (minimum).

You’re training your algorithm to show you things that will make you mad.
A bigger danger than most of the “threats” in here. People simultaneously believing “everyone is against me” and “everyone agrees with me”.

That show was so good and fun up until Arturo gets written off. Then pretty much lost it completely when they axed Wade. Still some really entertaining episodes.
It reminded me of the old Irwin Allen TV series (Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants). It starts off strong, but if it goes more than a couple of seasons it gets a bit lazy.
Sliders on Tubi

The Sliders / Early X-Files Friday night double-punch was some PRIME 90s television.











And this isn't my first rodeo, so here she is:



Just a reminder that DC brought back their Zatara character in the 1960s by introducing his daughter Zatanna as a magical and hot Playboy Bunny, and The WB absolutely nailed her visual representation on Smallville.

Lana pool scene:
Read this and thought it would be the Annette O’Toole pool scene from Cat People. :(
Looking forward to the "Why would they make a serious version of Deadpool?" Deathstroke comments.
