Yeah, the orchestral scores of the '90s didn't have a definable style like the synth-heavy scores of the '80s or the scores of the '60s and '70s which often incorporated musical styles like jazz and folk. Occasionally '90s scores incorporated rock or electronica, which more often than not just ended up being

And Saget reinventing himself as a dirty comic (I know he'd been dirty before, but he definitely marketed himself as Danny Tanner gone bad) by popping up in Half Baked, directing Dirty Work, and touring colleges.

I think if you were in your late 30s in 1991, Nirvana and Alternative Nation never did happen (unless you were somehow entrenched in those scenes).

Jennifer Love Hewitt, although she insisted on being called "Love."

I have to think the AV Club will get around to those one day, after the 1000th dissection of Clarissa Explains It All.

Wasn't it also shaved on the sides? True white trash look.

I watched every episode of this show even though I never really liked it. I really never liked Jill, for some reason. I was a kid at the time and I think she reminded me of my best friend's mom who I was kind of scared of.
That said, I had a friend in college who would call anyone with the name Tim, "Tim 'The Tool

I listened to it streaming on NPR last week. It's really damn good.

Were they on the outs after that? I remember reading about it but it sounded like it was more of a "didn't work out on the financial end" situation than a creative problem.

Tucker Max sounds like the name of a drive-thru tummy tuck clinic.

Has he done other notable work?

And I think it was on episode 1, no?

Now that I have a kid it makes me wanna cry even more. Damn.

Yeah, I guess it's mostly that these types of movies aren't really made anymore. If they are, they're either sort of TV movie-esque (The Help, The Blind Side) or are almost always R which keeps younger kids out. But I think the other part of it is that there are movies aimed at kids in that tween age group now, with

Right. I think that's what happens a lot. There was something in the book Down and Dirty Pictures about Matt Damon never getting paid for the points he had on Good Will Hunting because of Miramax's accounting (which is apparently legendary in the industry). They basically made it look like no matter how big a hit a

Possibly. I think also everyone just used to see every other PG-13 movie that came out because it wasn't R, and you could convince your parents to let you go alone. Plus, the movie looked really funny from all the previews. I remember quoting the lines just from the trailer.

When sums that large are involved, probably not.

Probably true, but would a kid seek those out? I feel like kids were anxious to see Forrest Gump back then, but maybe it was just me and my friends.

Or when he's visiting Jenny's grave and he breaks down "He's just so smart, Jenny." Giving my goosebumps right now.

MadTV at its finest
