Even these big corporations like to nickel and dime. If someone uses the tone without realizing they were going to be fined then it’s a screw up and someone will get fired. If they did it knowing full well they’d get fined and got the go ahead anyway, then yes they should fine them more.

The opening scene of the film Serenity retcons how Simon got his sister out of government custody. It doesn't line up at all with his explanation in the Firefly pilot. I don't mind though, it's an exciting scene and you can handwave it away by saying his original explanation was just a very, very loose summary.

100%. Ending felt unplanned, like they have a great concept and no idea where they were going with it. When they finally got there they had to bullshit something.

I thought it was one of the worst endings I've seen. It felt like a cheesy cop-out to me. But I seem to be the minority on that opinion.

All long running showd are subject to plotholes though or inconsistencies. In season 1 cheers Diane talked about her father in the present and later in the season we find out he's been dead for years.

It’s a shame they just tossed Dr Pulaski the fuck away after Gates came back. I liked someone adding a little spice to everyone’s utopia. She was reminiscent of Bones

I bet Hasselhoff put in a good word for him. Sometimes it's just who you know.

Right, but if they don’t stop it becomes more of a thing. They aren’t stoked about just pissing away the money.!There are people above the people who made the decision who are probably hella embarrassed. Although imagining the top go “Let’s play the Emergency Alert Sound” is amusing.
But hey if there’s a new headline tomorrow I guess they didn’t give a shit.

TGIF and Must See TV were notorious for crossover episodes and theme nights. I’d be down to watch the Friends/Mad About You crossovers lol.

Something real quick I'll add to this conversation. I love Mr. Robot for many reasons, most already listed in this thread. But a certain character that suffers from panic attacks is the only character I've come across the represents them in a way that feels accurate to my own experiences and I freaking love this show for that.

Better include all the commercials. Nothing is funnier than seeing ads for the all new 1993 Ford Tempo!

Great show. Hated the ending personally. Some people loved the ending. Worth a watch.

I think Jack references them off hand a few times but they never appear again.

Sort of a retcon, but I argue that the entirety of the Clone Wars animated series makes the Star Wars prequels retroactively better. Hell, most of what people like about that era of Star Wars is in large due to the Clone Wars.

>The Simpsons did the right thing by never addressing the fake Skinner plotline.
Isn't the episode parodying this though? I recall a scene at the end where someone says none of this will ever be mentioned again.

When I glanced Married with Children, I thought you were going to mention them retconning them adopting the kid named 7.

Can’t wait to watch all the oblivious redditors give Roseanne a ton of extra exposure because they won’t shut up about how they aren’t watching something.
