Who knows? In 100 years, we may be cloning famous people and forcing the clones to make movies and TV on the cheap.
Full House: Angelina Jolie reboot (Starring Angelina Jolie baby clones)
On the show Full House S05E25 the character Michelle was learning to cook. She made tuna flavored ice cream. Uncle Jesse says something to the effect of "It's great that you like tuna and great that you like ice cream. You don't have to combine them."
I try to remember that episode when building tech products. We all like solar. We all like trains. It doesn't mean that we need to have solar panels between the train tracks.
I think that although it could be cool, it seems like train right-of-ways is a particularly harsh environment for solar panels. There's dust, harsh vibrations, heavy cast iron components, and other things right next to a sensitive bit of electronics. It seems like it would be more economical to have a solar farm managed by the train company. This way the panels can be easily cleaned, angled properly, and maintained not in the proximity of giant rolling metal boxes.
> That's not to say there wasn't artistic merit in the project as a whole
Yeah, I think what really made it work is the context of Seinfeld's conceit of being a "show about nothing" while also being so influential that people encountering it for the first time today tend to see it as a bland proto-sitcom. It wouldn't mean the same thing to give that treatment to a show like Full House or Family Matters.
What? Session tokens have been around for like 30 years now, and every web framework worth using has a rock-solid implementation; you haven't had to do it yourself since Full House was putting out new episodes.
As I child of the 80's, I can still feel the theme for Full House reverberating through my bones:
Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy, the evening tv? How did I get delivered here? Somebody tell me please Cause this old world is just really confusing me
That kind of sentiment was all the rage in sitcoms before the hip, cynical 90's attitude got into gear with Seinfeld and "Must See TV".
> I don't know if that was the case for most people, it's what sitcoms depicted.
It wasn't. Bill, from the Cosby Show, was a physician, Tony, from Who's the Boss was a former baseball player, the dad from Full House was a TV broadcaster, etc.
It's probably the reason "blue collar" sitcoms were popular in the 90s (Rosanne, Grace Under Fire).
The Aristocrats is my favorite comedy documentary -- not that there are many of them. Saget gives the most memorable performance of the show. He's truly gifted as a filthy standup comedian. If you only know him from Full House, this movie shows what he can do when the filters are off.
Oh shit. RIP. I've just been rewatching How I Met Your Mother and I can never forget Bob's voice as older Ted. I was disappointed they didn't use him for the final episode.
Full House was life as a child. RIP Danny Tanner.
Tell that to Mila Kunis (Baywatch at age 11) the Olsen twins (Full House as literal babies) Kaley Cuoco (first film appearance at 11yo) and thousands of other sucessful people who got thier big breaks as children. Children are part of the entertainment industry and always have been. An industry without them would look very strange.
Harry Potter, but Harry is 18yo on his first day at Hogwarts. Every family sitcom disappears. And what about work entirely created by kids? I guess highschool drama clubs are out too. This gets very strange very quickly.
Pretty sure that happened in an episode of Full House too.
Maybe the Netflix crowd is more into TV shows. They have/had a decent selection of shows from the 80s and 90s: Cheers, Bob Ross, Friends, Full House, 3rd Rock. Which suggests that the person you're replying to is onto something.
As an european who has never visited the US, I'm totally unfamiliar with this kind of buildings, other than seeing them in TV Shows like Family Matters or Full House. Also, almost every single american woodworking YouTube channel is recorded in a garage of one this kind of houses. I find them huge, yet their popularity makes me think they're pretty common, maybe even affordable?
This was about as entertaining as a formulaic television sitcom: it's got one person who refuses to understand the other and who escalates the confrontation any time he gets an answer he don't expect, which is every time. And the other person doesn't seem to grasp the obvious fact that he's dealing with a scared, irrational, angry little child and as a result fails to make himself understood. In the end, there's a transparent Deus ex Machina, followed by a short feel-good make up session to end the story on a positive note. Yet, in the end, you can't help but feel sad about how hard basic communication can be. The writers of Full House couldn't have done better.
