I loved 'Roseanne' for so many things — the writing, the politics, the sweaters! — but I'll never forget this phone call during an otherwise serious episode of the show, which made me fall off the couch laughing.
I got curious about how many shows have featured trapped-in-a-box scenes (elevator, basement, car), and found this hilarious page from TVtropes.org listing tons of examples.
Here's a clip I remember from when I was a kid -- not one from 'Sesame Street' itself but from the equally wonderful 'The Electric Company.'
Clearly the most ambitious, daring, and artistically successful three-and-a-half-hour Holocaust-allegory-featuring-evil-lizard-people show that’s ever aired on TV.
Late-seventies television was, with a few exceptions, a wasteland for teen girls.
Maybe I'm still a little shook up from our long national silver-balloon nightmare yesterday, but I got PTSD-ish flashbacks re-watching this excerpt from The Day After, the Very Scary and Important Television Event of 1983.
When I originally watched 'Thirtysomething,' I glossed right over the themes about stay-at-home moms, marital stress, the ad biz, etc. No, I was about to graduate from college, so I consumed the show instead as one massive tone poem about the lives of Melissa and Ellyn, the single chicks in the ensemble.
I still love 'SCTV,' but rewatching those skits, many seem oddly airless, parodying things about TV that aren't even around anymore.
So, as long as I'm obsessing about how awful 'Eastwick' is, I thought I'd fill you guys in on how great Paul Gross is in 'Slings and Arrows.'
This terrifying commercial appeared on television when I was at a formative age.
"You are about to lose your eternal soulllll ... "
I hold a special place in my heart for this ecstatic scene in 'My So-Called Life.'
A clip both both gross and poignant.
One of the single best moments of my life was seeing Kimberly rip off her wig on 'Melrose Place.'
