and only one of those ended up being real. for now

 

jr., fuck sr.

 

exactly

 

I’m sure it made more sense in a world where it was very possible to miss prior episodes and simply never see them again

 

giving Alyssa Milano a show now is certainly a choice

 

‘The Ren & Stimpy Show’ Reboot Set At Comedy Central – Deadline

Good news: it's without John K.

 

yeah the first thing I did was check to make sure he wasn't involved

 

I'll be shocked if this lasts more than 2 years. It'll be a fun novelty and nostalgia punch but I can't see me dying for new ren and Stimpy episodes after a while.

And this is coming from someone whose first pets were named ren and Stimpy

 

The Dora movie is on Hulu. Fuck yeah.

 

was it even any good? haha

 

it was said to be a better indiana jones movie than temple of doom

 

not how i thought he'd follow up the best-reviewed film of all time

 

What are some examples of hyper-specific situations that shows up in unrelated shows?

For example, both Curb Your Enthusiasm and King of the Hill have an episode about a young girl getting her first period at the home of an unrelated man who has no idea what to do.

 

I was actually just talking about that last night while watching a sitcom. There are tons of fairly common plots that happen in those that never would in real life. Like the one where a character meets a random man that they think is either romantically interested in them or their spouse but it turns out he’s a priest and they all have a big laugh about it.

 

yes. so much fun. and culturally relevant.

 

would i like it even if i've never watched an episode of the cartoon?

 

I've never watched the cartoon and I loved it

 

alright, sold! i will watch it. can't usually go wrong with fun adventure movies.

 

argh I remember a very specific example of this recently but now I can’t remember. I want to say there was a similar plot between episodes of friends and Seinfeld

 

there was something last season where I was watching two VERY different shows at the same time and that happened, very strangely specific in two shows, but who the hell knows what it was anymore

 

Just finished Come and See, may need to watch Dora now.

 

I actually had this happen recently too. I watched two shows in the same day that were made almost 20 years apart by different creators entirely that shared a super specific subplot and it felt very surreal.

 

THAT SCENE in Dora was the best. I only wish it were longer.
