It’s partially that but your point about the streaming model is more on point — clearing music rights for streaming is a whole other beast from clearing them for syndication or cable, which is why many moderately popular shows that used the trope heavily aren’t available to stream. ‘Joan of Arcadia’ and ‘Judging Amy’ come to mind among cheesy shows I loved in the early 2000s.

‘Cold Case’ not only leaned heavily on music syncs to power the storytelling and pull easy emotional levers, they milked them for extra $$$. I distinctly recall a then-upcoming album release from Bruce Springsteen being cross-promoted on ‘Cold Case.’ Three or four of the tracks were played in the episode, and the episode was promoted on the opportunity to hear the songs before anyone else.

Going to be called Wayanson

>So what are some recent emotional song moments like the 2000-20teens shows?

Ted Lasso funeral song

I wish HappyEndings had a longer run, show was absolutely hilarious

Homey the Clown

Well, I like ‘em both. I hope it goes well!

Just beats the shit out of him with a sock full of pennies.

Is that Blankman’s alter ego?

I remember the WB shows like Dawson's Creek telling you what albums each song came from.

Blackish did a storyline where the main characters separated. It was really raw but just such a heavy turn, even for a show that dealt with the real world often.

Some people really liked it but I hated it. Made me trail off from watching the show because it was such a downer. And it used goddamn Fix You ... In 2018!

as a fan of teen dramas, I want to say that this was really, really comnon in the 90s already (and to some extent in the 80s too, in shows like "The Wonder Years").

but yes: by the mid-200s, shows like "One Tree Hill" often had three or four of these music scenes/montages per episodes. "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scrubs" (as more of a parody) did it a lot, too.

also, I haven't seen much "Baywatch" (lol), but I caught two or three episodes in the mid-90s where there were one or two complete songs (a sad ballad about forgetting while a character with Alzheimer's got lost on the way to the beach etc.) per episode.

Oh my god, Fix You was in everything

How many other actors look just like their dads? I always think of that when I see them but I can't think of anyone else.

He wasn't killed. He just went into or out of an undercover persona. (Or went to TAHITI, for those who will get the reference)

Why do you think Leroy Jethro Gibbs knows so much about Air Force One and Secret Service procedure in the first episode of NCIS?

Yes, you are right. I just was citing how it was used more often a decade ago. Maybe viewers became more savvy

Honestly I hate that trope. It’s a shortcut for lazy writing and rarely well done. Frequently it comes off as total cheese.

> The potential series, which is produced in-house at CBS Studios, revolves around legendary talk radio host and happily divorced “Poppa” (Wayans) who has his point of view challenged at work when a new female co-host is hired and at home where he finds himself still parenting his adult son (Wayans Jr.), a brilliant dreamer who is trying to pursue his passion while being a responsible father and husband.

Going for the Boomer knows best kind of show with the Xennial not having their act together. They are definitely go for the old CBS crowd.

They did the same thing on Happy Together in 2018.

Never ending Happy Endings/ Living Color reunions

ETA- and My Wife and Kids

Hoping it follows the adventures of Homey D. Clown and his son

I hope they play the same person at different points in time

Yeah this is /r/television, I expect the place to be more accepting to all kinds of shows, and yes, even comedy shows.

Seems like a fine enough sitcom premise. I like both of them, so I'd give it a chance. The CBS of it all is worrisome but Ghosts is good so you never know.

On another note it's weird that this post was downvoted. Seems like anything outside of redditcore shows has a hard time here which is sad.

Is this supposed to be a Sanford and son type thing
