Russia made a remake show with 365 (!) episodes, and IRL, the shoeseller character based on Al became a famous statue. (I'm not kidding.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Together_(Russian_TV_series)

I mean, you can blame them. but ultimately someone at the network fucked up by not requesting a copy with that edited out (im also assuming they have quality control and review materials before airing them).

honestly i didnt know this about EAS until now, but judging from the comments from people who have worked in broadcasting it seems to be common knowledge, so seems like the blame lies with the network more so than the person chopping movie clips for advertising.

There is something special about the original Berserk anime. It had this strange atmosphere that is hard to describe.

I haven’t seen The Simpsons since like season 30 I think but I believe Lisa did mention Armin Tamzarian once in an episode in the mid-teens I think.

Lisa: But to save money on a new dish, we'll just call you Snowball ll and pretend this whole thing never happened.

Skinner: That's really a cheat, isn't it?

Lisa: I guess you're right, Principal Tamzarian.

Skinner: I'll just be moving along,

Yes 100%. It is a zeitgeist show. In 20 years, someone will ask what was 2017 like. Just watch Mr Robot. It’s not the plot points or anything like that. It is the style and the tone. Some of the best television ever made.

The second season was a massive step up.

The final 3 episodes of thst season were stellar.

I hope it gets more.

No, I meant do they mention Frasier having no brother in a Cheers episode? If it was mentioned in one episode in an offhand way, then that may explain why I cannot remember if Frasier mentioned having a brother.

I mean it’s good. I kinda get the feeling it’s what the boondocks saints was to my generation.

I think everyone would enjoy it more if they didn’t try to contextualize it with their personal plights. But 🤷‍♂️

Didn’t know Married With Children was popular anywhere outside the US. That’s awesome, it was one of my favorites.

I didn’t initially like the introduction of Dawn because it made no sense as it happened, but then that season ended up being so engrossing and felt like a return to form for the show I’ve always been a big fan of.

Honestly, I think there was a more sloppy retcon that screwed a little with continuity from the show, though.

You think you can fool me?! You were my sire, man! You were my... Yoda!

I started watching Freud on Netflix and it was dubbed (apparently. I didn't know that going in). So I had the subtitles on and it was a MESS I got so frustrated I just quit not even 15 minutes in and I will probably never finish it now bc I need the subtitles.

The news they got promoting that they are the channel to watch football is probably worth more then half a mil to them. Literally nothing.
