DYLAN PLAN

I just mean that a show like, say, American Dad or Family Guy that has a distinct visual signature, could at least approximate what an FPS would look like within the scope of that visual signature, the same way they approximate anything else from real life.

I know the one in this particular episode did, I was replying specifically to @avclub-d6537db628c8624dd41cdf68e445b71b:disqus who alluded to other shows making it look like video games are still 8-bit beep-boop stuff.

Has anyone on AV Club ever really brought up how weird it is that 99% of TV shows still depict video games as being how they were in like 1983? I'm sure it's been addressed somewhere. Because, I mean, that shit is weird, isn't it? I'm not a gamer at all, and even I know how ridiculous that is.

And with that, you deserve death.

The most realistic choice I could see for a Frank Drebin reboot would be Steve Carell, since he nails that furrowed-brow seriousness so well, but you're right, someone like Jon Hamm would be perfect, since part of what made post-Airplane Leslie Nielsen so brilliant was precisely that he WASN'T known as a comedy actor.…

Gilligan has already stated point blank that that won't happen. I love how that's the only detail about BB's conclusion that we know.

How ironic.
