Not sure if this is an attempt at a Whoosh… but you realize that vintage gear like this has only gotten *more * desirable over the years? Most of yer favorite ‘modern’ musicians seek out vintage gear.
St. Elsewhere, maybe. But probably not the shows it crossed over with. Fictional characters can exist in more than one continuity. Some characters, like Jenny Everywhere and Mikhail Gorbachev, basically have the super-power to actually exist in any continuity you can think of. (Well, I think Gorby is usually only used in settings that include Russia at the end of the Cold War, but he does exist in many fictional universes, including ours.)
Happy Birthday, Jenny!
Interesting!
But still…if a fictional character exists only in one person’s mind, and yet someone meets that fictional character…then they must also be in that person’s mind, no?
Dude, let it go.
But, wait, if you’re obsessed … I’m not sure you could do that if you were just a character in some kid’s head…
I’m starting to think maybe he is the kid.
Any television or movie western from before the Sergio Leone era that depicted astonishingly clean and well-dressed cowboys.
Dracula has appeared in my head. Guess that means there’s not any Dracula fiction in the real world, just what’s in my head, right? :rolleyes:
I really don’t understand all the debate over the Tommy Westphall Universe. It’s quite simple: He fantasized about characters he saw on TV. The connections happened in his head, that’s all. He was watching the same unconnected shows that we do and just tied them all together in his head.
I also don’t believe that the entirety of St. Elsewhere was a fantasy of Tommy’s. St. Elsewhere was probably a real hospital that he had been to (where else would you get a snow globe like that one?), and his fantasies were a mix of real people and TV characters.
Almost any early CGI, especially on TV. Babylon 5 is a great example. Wonderful stories, but oh-so-terrible graphics by today’s standards. While watching, you feel like you’re playing a late 90’s video game. Even today’s browser-run games have better graphics. Unfortunately, there’s probably too many CGI shots to redo if it were to get the Star Trek TOS treatment where they recreate all of the exterior shots. Probably not enough profit to be made from doing it… I hope eventually the current level of eye-tricking CGI will get cheap enough to make it workable… Or the network will just opt to do the upteenth reboot intead…
I’d like to see all my favorite Harry Hausen films with the animation upgraded with blur motion.
I’m going to assume you mean Ray Harryhausen, and hope nobody ever does anything of the sort.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night and said “did I really do that?” :smack::smack:
That argument is weak!
We watched a season 1 episode of The Simpsons the other night: Homer’s Night Out. The one where Bart takes a picture of Homer dancing with Princess Jasmine.
Egad. How antiquated. First, Bart orders a “spy” camera. One with film. He takes pictures of various things including the infamous Homer and Jasmine one.
He temporarily joins the school photography club so he can get it developed. The picture gets copied and handed around. (Most using a photocopier, which doesn’t work for this, btw.) It ends up being posted on bulletin boards and such.
Wow, just wow.
Today: Bart would use his smartphone, post it online, people would email/tweet/etc. it to friends. It’d be on the Internet not a bulletin board. Etc.
(Plus it would be considered too tame and actually be of little interest. Image what kind of photos Bart would be sharing with his friends today.)
This is how long The Simpsons have been on the air. A complete changeover of technology.
Hmmm is Simpsons actually in that kid’s head? I can’t remember if Simpsons is tied to St. Elsewhere.
This is a kids show, but Nickelodeons The Rugrats has some pretty dated stuff in it. The computer the parents have, the game system Angelica has in one episode, the size of Charlottes cell phone.
I remember an episode of Room 222 that I only saw twice. The students were ragging on an effeminate boy they thought was “queer.” The teachers and principal got together and had this dialog:
Principal: Are we dealing with one or two problems here?
Teacher: What do you mean?
Principal: Is the boy a homosexual?
When I saw this episode years later in syndication, that scene was cut.
Lesbians were so edgy back in 1997!
According to this chart,pretty much everything is in that damn kid’s head:
I know! Maybe even the entire real world.
