It would subvert my expectations if they actually made something good.
Yea that’s my mentality now. Thank goodness for Leave it to Beaver reruns.
I could re-watch Seinfeld, King of the Hill, Futurama, and the first ten or so years of The Simpsons until the Sun burns out.
King of the Hill ended at EXACTLY the right time. I see that now.
Same.
When Futurama was aired, I was totally blown-away by the universe and how well it was introduced in the first episodes.
You can pick it apart and point how nearly all of it can be found in other Science Fiction work.
I didn't care. To me, it was brilliant and just ''cartoony'' enough.
Later it turned a bit too ''cartoony'' to keep the same vibe, but I still enjoyed most episodes, just not to the extent of the early immersive ones.
For example, the Zoidberg visiting Area 51 was very fun but so different from the first episodes, it could be from a different series.
Well I thought it was already implied lol.
But yeah, Ds9 and most of TNG would be in there as well, I just have to make myself forget what horrible cucks most of the TNG crew turned out to be irl.
I would bet dimes to donuts that it's a 1984 reference, not star trek.
I take comfort in reruns of The Andy Griffith Show from the first five seasons or so, where Opie is still a cute little towhead, Barney Fife is two-timing Thelma Lou with Juanita at the diner, The Darlings make cameos with their great bluegrass combo The Dillards, Ernest T. Bass comes down from the hills once and a while to throw rocks through the courthouse windows, and Andy is courting Ellie the druggist (I had a childhood crush on Eleanor Donahue).
They are such wholesome morality plays, yet they manage to be really funny without being crude or "transgressive" or political.
Yes! I love that show. It’s funny that all the shows like Little House that my parents or grandparents watched as a kid and I thought were corny are shows I frequently watch now.
