I grew up loving shows like the E! True Hollywood Story and Mysteries & Scandals, and I love doc series like CNN’s History of the Sitcom and The Story of Late Night.
But there are so many amazing TV stories yet to be told!
This channel fills that void with mini documentaries exploring the greatest, most memorable and famously infamous episodes in television history.
From the celebrated to the scandalous, TV has a long, incredible… and sometimes wicked history.
I wish they would release Cover up on DVD or blu ray. Be extremely kool if they release it on 4K. But I'm dreaming on that. They have Voyages on blu ray
Back in the 80’s as most know remember that “Stuntmen” was quite the fad & looked up to & now the “1%er Motorcycle Clubs” are very popular & a lot of people are fascinated by the “1%er Clubs” & there are so many “Motorcycle Clubs” popping up these days & some going as far as saying their a “1%er Club” which is a big no no for sure! A lot of “wannabe” clubs/bikers these days.
I never really understood the Battlestar Galactica lawsuit. The show was very different than Star Wars. Star Wars had the Empire, the Rebel Alliance, the Death Star, etc. BSG was about humans fleeing a robotic adversary after a genocidal war. Other than space dogfights, they were not like each other.
Recasting the role of Mike Brady would have been horrible. No one would have believed someone else was Mike Brady. They were better off just ending the series. Robert Reed was Mike Brady on the show and reunions. That's how it should have been.
You would think that intelligent people would have figured out that positioning a camera or manned equipment directly in the line of fire, so to speak. Would mean that anyone manning that gear was in the direct line of fire. That is not a reach folks, that is a fact. It reminds me of people who watch motorsport races from the wrong side of the turns. And then get upset when someone comes through the turn too fast and runs right into them.
What confuses me about ratings is this : People gonna sit down and watch their show. They don't know "wait, Alf this week is going to be better than Happy Days [whatever. sue me.]" They already know they like Alf or Fonzie more and will sit down and watch that show. When it's over they might say "that one was weak." And the shows are short. It's not like you get a chance to contemplate, sample, and decide. "Alf came it at number boo that week." Yeah, so? Isn't that a sign that word of mouth for the show was good based on THE PREVIOUS episode? "Well some people channel hop." And they are channel hoppers. "OMG bug. Wow. Okay, what's on Happy Days [whatever. sue me.]" Channel hopper isn't going to tell you the episode was good, only that it had something more eye catching than whatever was on a different channel at that second.
I always found it pretty interesting and disturbing that the Alf fans hated the sequel tv movie that came out after the cancellation of the show. They would rather believe that Alf got cut apart and stuff by the government then acknowledge the sequel tv show as existing.
I knew a guy a few years older than me that claimed he had submitted a screenplay for an episode of A.L.F. and that they stole it. I never believed him until learning about Stahl's crazy addict's life through Permanent Midnight.
Most notably, ALF specifies that they didn't have bug spray on Melmac ... Which explains his surprise when the bug responded like it did to a dousing of chems (like radioactivity does in old B movies)
3:10 When the office secretary thought he was a homeless guy, did he take that as a compliment? I wonder if he thought, "that's exactly what I was going for."
Love this channel and this episode -- but one minor quibble--the writing duo that Sorkin was fictionalizing on the show wasn't based on Cleveland--it was a shot at Jeff Reno and Ron Osbourne, who NBC/Warners had saddled him with. They've admitted as such, and the character's name is Ricky Tahoe (for Jeff Reno--get it? haha Aaron)
I am so priveliged to have been on this planet in the era of the outstanding ROBIN WILLIAMS. NEVER will the world see anothe rlike this great man. Gog Bless you Robin......wherever you are.... NANOO NANOOO
On the phone with grandma, " im watching the first season of alf on dvd.... Alf..... ALF!..... YOURE 92 YEARS OLD AND YOU DONT KNOW WHO ALF IS!!!!!" Hangs up. "PIECE OF CRAP!!!"
Christopher Lloyd has given an outstanding performance every time I have seen him on the big or small screen. That is the only measure of a performance. He knew his character and was true to the vision, whatever it was.
man this brings back memories of me growing up watching these two great shows and not the reruns i even got a set of the mork suspenders one year for christmas growing up in 1980 when i was 8 years old
When I think that my best friend; Who was one of the best people that I ever knew and died of heart failure in his twenties, will be all but forgotten, while a useless junkie POS like this guy lived long enough to get a memoir and a biopic about his pointless existence, it makes me sick to my stomach.
