That's just some damn fine clip selection.

Mostly agreed, but "How Your Mother Met Me" is also fantastic.

Everyone on this show always looked like they were having such a good time, I can't bear it whenever we lose another. Yvonne Craig was a class act all the way. RIP, Batgirl.

Teen Angel was the 70s. My only memory of this show is the angel wearing John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever outfit, and mentioning to his friend that he suspected something was wrong with the timeline because he "caught Saturday Night Live last night, and it was actually funny and inventive."

It's not bad. You can do worse.

Great job, Internet! I can't wait for you tell me about all of Bart's chalkboard punishments tomorrow!

When you think of all the old cartoons that have gotten live-action adaptations, it's bizarre that Jonny Quest has taken this long to get to the screen. It always seemed like an obvious choice for the big budget treatment.

Happy Days and Married with Children are really the only things I know McGinley for. His biggest Happy Days crime was that he wasn't Ron Howard, and I always liked him on Married with Children.

Wasn't Three's Company on around the same time? John Ritter was, like, the king of sitcom slapstick.

(1) It's not much sillier than many of the things that happened to Indy in earlier movies and (2) it leads to that great image of Indy silhouetted against a mushroom cloud.

Part of me wishes modern sitcoms did this. Like, where's the episode of Modern Family where Alex builds an operating spaceship and takes the extended family to Neptune or something?

Edit: Didn't scroll down enough to find others remembering the pirate episode too.

My favorite Happy Days is the early one where Richie and Potsie get drunk at a friend's going away party, and he and his dad have this exchange.

You're not. Tangled was a lot of fun.

Oh, goody! I was worried that movie had disappeared.

They don't make a big deal out of it, but Buzz and Jessie are an item. It's pretty apparent at the end of Toy Story 2 and throughout the Spanish Buzz bits in Toy Story 3.

They announced that Dia de los Muertos themed movie a couple years ago, but they haven't said anything about it since, and they never set a release date for it. So your guess is as good as mine.

Dick Tracy is the only one of those I'd call a hit, though. Not to mention he was also a pretty well-known character, and that movie had massive star power going for it.

I remember reading a write up of the 2005 movie, where Doom inexplicably decides that Thing is the lynchpin of the team. "You have someone who can create a supernova, and someone capable of creating a forcefield strong enough to contain that supernova, and you decide that the rock guy is the team's strongest member?"

Yeah, but Superman and Batman kind of transcend being "coming book" properties. Everyone knows who they are. It was still a ways away until a studio could convince audiences to come out en masse for comic properties that weren't those two.
