All these guys had serious drug priorities.
Feldman also couldn't decide if Michael Jackson was a pervert.

Rollins isn't particularly homophobic.
How does Shatner have friends?

Reply to Old show: Third Watch... why did they dramatically shift the direction of this show? by Heraldsquare
I hate that you're calling it an old show.
But yes. It became a cop show in the final seasons.
Doc spiraled downward. Hated it to.

Mostly pokes fun at liberals.
Except for Dale, the rednecks are generally good people.
The sex ed episode ended with a parent talking to a kid about sex. Not a government employee.
The Hills went to church every Sunday.
Bush was a nice guy. The Clintons were scum.
Racism does not exist in Arlen.
Liberal activists, especially, are overgrown children.
It never addressed the confederate flag, which was problematic.

Reply to Actors who were fired from the 1st or 2nd season of a hit show, even though they were good in it. by Lili_Danube
Lois and Clark fired the first Jimmy Olsen because he looked too much like Clark Kent.
Like, wtf did you hire him?
Gotham fired Clare Foley because they wanted someone hot. So they made a thirteen year old into a 20 year old. This raises some sex problems. Gotham was such a bizarre show that it needs to be watched. Go watch it.

The Simpsons did the right thing by never addressing the fake Skinner plotline.
Breaking Bad addressed why the pizza was not precut.

Liberals seem to like King of the Hill despite it mocking liberalism.
Scarface has been embraced by black urbanites. It's supposed to be a cautionary tale. Don't sell drugs.

Baywatch was pre Internet porn.
It was a soap opera with women doing important things. Makes sense. Used to being in the middle of the day.

Delivery Man with Vince Vaughn. His girlfriend is Colbie Smolders and she's a cop for no apparent reason.

Eleanor was infamously unattractive, so it's weird to see Gillian Anderson play her.

I question how many affairs she had. People didn't speak of such things, so this is speculation.

Loved that show. Full of nonsense. One character always beats up several henchman. Always.
It was just multicultural A-Team but that's okay.

You would need a ridiculous team of badasses to try it.
Pretty sure cops would swarm once it's been breached. Can't spend money if you're dead.
