His movies must be bombing with such a small fanbase.

I wish I could spend a week in the world of Running Scared. Just a week in a world where somebody let Billy Crystal be a cowboy cop.
I'd be very against rebooting any of those shows. The Fugitive was a good reboot movie, because it understood who the characters were. A lot of those shows are better left where they are. I'd like to see a show inspired by that era of anthology, but I don't trust any of the networks to do a good remake of those…
I love a lot of those Disney cartoons at that time, but, it can't be said enough how insane of a premise TaleSpin is. Let's take the guy from Jungle Book and put him in an Indiana Jones/Tales of the Gold Monkey show.
I wish we could have that period of TV again. I don't mean quality wise, but, that inventiveness. We only really got Deep Space Nine for 7 years because it was essentially grandfathered into the TV landscape. Star Treks wouldn't work today. Deep Space Nine helped start that big arc era of TV, but none of the Star…
If the DuckTales revival takes off, you might see a bunch of revived shows.
It can be anything. I mostly brought this up due to looking at the difference in things. It Happened One Night built a good portion of the plot around the wall of Jericho. I found it amusing how we've built so much pop culture since that you don't really see people outright using religious references as the…
I should have worded it to just be general pop culture, but I was having a hard enough time getting the question worded right in my mind.
I spent the weekend watching Days of Thunder, Marty and The Fabulous Baker Boys. Two out of three is pretty good. Beyond that, I read a bunch of Marvel comics and spent three hours last night watching fireworks in Animal Crossing.
One of my favorite things about TV is when a TV show draws upon the plot of a movie, or anything in pop culture, and builds something unique with it. The Simpsons, Community and Quantum Leap are, among the shows I watch, the biggest examples of shows that hit a home run when going for that approach.
My biggest problem is the last two where, like you said, it's generic action fluff. That was never the point of the first one. It's why I hate the later Robocop movies. Robocop was a smart action movie, a satirical action movie. Then the sequels forget that and try to be a generic action movie with none of the…
The most bizarre good thing. I've seen other NBC shows. They are just terrible bizarre.
I wonder if part of that is running times. I'm not a big fan of the MeowMeowBeenz episode, but they talked on the commentary about how a huge chunk of that episode was cut because it ran like 10 minutes longer. I assume that's why season 6 was so long too. Dan didn't want to go back to cutting 22 minute episodes,…
Also, this back to basics thing. I've seen a lot of people comment on how many times Dan has said it. Was season 3 meant to be back to basics? All I remember is Dan talking about how much darker the show would be. If it was meant to be a back to basics, it failed at that ALMOST INSTANTLY. They sang this nice song…
I like Dan. I think he's a smart, funny guy. The problem is, he bounces back and forth too much. He put a lot of arc work into season 3 and all he read online was from people who hated it and just wanted more episodic Community. He didn't have somebody to step in and go "What if we look at the people who did like…
The one two punch of Empire and Straight Outta Compton means executives are going to go "Hey, people like watching black people sing." which is totally the reason behind why they were successful. If that was the case, Smash would have been just as much of a hit. It has people singing too.
I think the Nicolas Cage episode was always a flawed idea. When they were working on it in season 2/3, it was still going to build up to that Nicolas Cage impression. It felt over the top, just for the fun of it. Dan's a stubborn guy, so of course he'd want to EVENTUALLY do it, even if it's best left to stay in the…

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON opened with $60.2M this weekend. #StraightOuttaCompton
I want another season of those two. And Hickey. And Duncan. Just do a 30 minute episode of those guys being forced to run the school while the Dean is out of town.
