When I was a kid, my local paper graded movies on a four-star system. I clearly remember arguing to my parents that "Dragnet" should be considered a good movie, since its two-and-a-half star rating clearly put it in the upper half.

That's a pretty great idea, although I might give them each a full week before rotating to the next host. But it'd be cool to see how different people handled the format within a pretty similar structure—same stage, band, etc. I can't remember seeing anything like that since Letterman was out for heart surgery and…

He'd be a terrible host long-term, but I don't think I can remember a funnier late night moment than Norm constantly interrupting Courtney Thorne-Smith on an early Conan episode: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I think people thought it might be a flash-forward situation, with the final season showing the events that led up to that point.

Do those come in red?

I wonder what the financial difference is for product integration in movies vs. TV? Like I'm sure NBC and Community need that sweet sweet Subway money to stay on the air, but it's always confused me when Adam Sandler movies (at least, back when I was still watching them) would feature a pretty blatant plug for some…

I don't know if this counts, but: "Hot Nuts; Get 'em from the Peanut Man." https://www.youtube.com/wat…

In some cases (the "no surgery" option mentioned in the response) they are made of plastic and are permanently erect.

Hi guys I just saw this thread

I don't think it's quieter necessarily, but it seems like there's something in the sound mix that makes it hard for me to understand half the lines. I always wind up cranking the volume too, but it's still hard to make it all out.

You're thinking of the ballet.

I think that's how half the crimes on "Murder She Wrote" were solved.

That's known in the business as the "Stan Daniels Turn."

Possibly related trope: One character points out that two (male) friends behave like a married couple; they suddenly start behaving EXACTLY like a married couple.

The first time I actually went to a strip club I was shocked to discover that you were actually expected to sit up near the stage and watch the show; I'd seen so many TV strip clubs that I thought you just hung out with your friends while women danced around in the background.

Less-traditionally masculine character is mistaken for gay; suddenly finds himself in a variety of situations that make him look more gay. It's funny if the character's behavior is entirely consistent with previous episodes, but most shows wind up exaggerating the character's effeminate traits to a previously-unseen…

How big is his penis? Just askin'.

"Crelbow" or GTFO.

Yeah, at least a reboot makes sense if there's a creator with some passion for the original behind it. I always got the feeling this was something Kevin Smith really wanted to do at the time; now, it's more like the studio is just continuing on out of a sense of obligation.
