One thing I enjoy explaining to my younger friends is how SNL seemed very vulnerable in 1995 and that the other networks launched competing sketch comedy shows. Fox got the most traction with MadTV. CBS called up The State from MTV for one poorly advertised episode; I loved The State and had no idea they were airing on CBS until a classmate asked me the next day if I had seen it.
ABC had the Dana Carvey Show which featured unknown versions of Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert as cast members and Robert Smigel, Louis CK, among others as writers.
I stumbled on this Hulu doc about the failure of the show last night and learned some new things. I had assumed it was a late night show like MadTV, but ABC put it on right after Home Improvement which was one of the top shows at the time.
The staff fully conceded that they had a bad misunderstanding of the audience they were supposed to carry over from Home Improvement. Show only lasted eight episodes with the last one not even being aired. They ended up recycling one of the unaired sketches for Carvey to use when he hosted SNL a few months later.
One thing that made so much more sense now was that the Ambiguously Gay Duo started on the Carvey show with Colbert/Carell providing the voices. Smigel got rehired at SNL and brought the cartoon over and Colbert/Carell continued to do the voices despite never being cast members.
Huge fan of the original. It was basically the biggest cartoon of my childhood (90s childanyone check out x-men 97? have heard good things

For sure).
Loved the first 2 episodes. Just like the original but with updated graphics and better fight scenes.
Best review I saw was "If you're considering watching the new Road House, the best advice I can give you is start out by first watching the original then go to bed.Roadhouse

Watched it for the nostalgia. Would have little to no interest if not for leads Jake Gyllenhaal and Daniela Melchior. Some of the support actors did more negative than positive in their roles.
It’s one of those movies that as the days have gone by since watching it, my score is getting worse and worse. My wife said she liked it but I have a sneaky suspicion it was more of the shirtless Jake GyllenhallBest review I saw was "If you're considering watching the new Road House, the best advice I can give you is start out by first watching the original then go to bed.
I'm. First two episode are really great. I was skeptical but they did great job. At least on the start. Great direction, all scenes that opening/introducing characters are great, level of talking humor is good, visual humor is good. Main character girl is good and isn't annoying, she isn't Mary sew at all. There were nice direction decisions of visualizing of different things. So first two episodes looks like people wanted to do their job, they can do it and they have ideas for it.Anyone watch Fallout?
I’m 1 episode in and I loved what I saw so far. I haven’t played the games but I’ve see enough to see the connections and the tie in with music. Right at the top of my list to keep watching when I have time.I'm. First two episode are really great. I was skeptical but they did great job. At least on the start.

Hard recommendation.
I played but I like it as cinema product. There were tonns of great scenes like scene with grave - bad vss, dog growing scene - vibe, music, timing, I really like transition where scenes have connections and often the irony in this connection.I’m 1 episode in and I loved what I saw so far.
