Emergency services sirens can and should be used in movies and TV series. They are banned from radio because a driver may mistake a real siren for a radio siren or vice versa

Reply to comment by WordsAreSomething in There should be a setting to watch TV shows that aired in the same block together by AvailableUpstairs912
Plex does this, and they can contain different media types. I have a playlist that’s the full run of Twin Peaks (in release order, including the movie), and it should be possible to build your own for crossovers (eg: my “Millennium” playlist includes the series’ back door finale on The X-Files).

Bobby kills a guy on Twin Peaks. It’s mentioned once in the show and never mentioned again.
Strangely, the movie includes that scene.

But it was most popular within its original target demo.

I hope it was the original Berserk rather than the later version.

If you like Kubrick, then for sure. Esmail loves artistic long shots (in a good way) with heavy and well written dialogue.
I honestly regard it as one of my top three shows of all time. The other two being Dark and The Wire.

Oh, one of them has enough talent to get a pass on terrible behavior is the point.
That's not better, are you gonna clarify into something even worse now?

Im not surprised at all that in 2023 a huge company doesn’t pay a fair fine.

They say it, and it’s brought up on the spin-off when Ted Danson’s character has a cameo.

Lucas was lying when he said that then, because he wasn't even the writer who came up with it.

It's just more that Chris Brown's music is, and always has been terrible. Justin Roiland at least has been consistently putting out quality material since House of Cosbys.

It's an alert, so if it's used often you get desensitized to it and may not pay attention to alerts in the future because you assume it's a TV show or movie.

>Two wrongs don't make a right, but
But you'd like them to? Because Chris Browns awful fan base stood by him you'd love to emulate that?

Reply to comment by Archamasse in Serious question, does anyone think AI could replace voice actors that have either passed away or otherwise left a series? by [deleted]
We're not going to lose the ear to the difference. We're just going to get worse products for awhile until demand breaks up stagnation again.

A special bonus: As a computer programmer, I appreciate how well-researched and crafted all of the hacking scenes are. Just about every other show with Hollywood hacking makes me cringe. It makes real hacking tense and exciting while still being realistic. The r/itsaunixsystem sub tries and fails to find anything at fault with the show.
There's an early S1 example where he's trying to figure out some guy's password, and tries a dictionary attack (running through a bunch of common passwords). It actually doesn't work, and realizes he should hunt for personal data on his Facebook account to get there. If it was some Hollywood show, he'd get the password in ten seconds and it would have some goofy GUI interface to tell him he "Hacked the Gibson" or some shit. The art of the craft is weaved into the story rather well.
The router S2 episode also comes to mind, but I won't say anything else because of spoilers.

Are you shilling for those two other shows by trying to sneak them in next to The Sopranos? That's also not so many great shows if you're actually trying to narrow down suggestions.

Reply to Actors who were fired from the 1st or 2nd season of a hit show, even though they were good in it. by Lili_Danube
Lois and Clark fired the first Jimmy Olsen because he looked too much like Clark Kent.
Like, wtf did you hire him?
Gotham fired Clare Foley because they wanted someone hot. So they made a thirteen year old into a 20 year old. This raises some sex problems. Gotham was such a bizarre show that it needs to be watched. Go watch it.

Just a warning that the 2 later versions just didn't capture the brilliance of the original though the last one did finish up the story where the original got cut short so it may be worth checking it out.
