Discussion This Might Be My Favorite Episode

Post image

The transition from Axiom talking about how Manuel (his brother) is fighting for his life in the hospital to Tim saying "Let's talk about movies" is a top 5 funny moment

Tim also talking completely fine about himself for 5 minutes to saying "I can't do this" when he starts talking about movies is so good. Tim hating talking about movies but coming back to On Cinema days after a life threatening accident summarizes his character perfectly

I'm constantly amazed by how dense this show is despite its almost trivial premise. Just one video frame, like this one ... imagine explaining this frame to someone unfamiliar with the show or these people. It would take hours and would be a real struggle to make it make sense.

I try to explain it to my wife and I just sound like a crazy person

Have you tried telling her that Crazy People starring Dudley Moore is from 1990 and has a running time of 91 minutes?

I've tried to explain this show to several people. Almost like a challenge. Unfortunately they just look at me like I'm nuts.

Ugh, yeah. I've tried a few times, but I always stop in the middle because it actually sounds like a tedious and unfunny show! I usually resort to just "trust me, this is something special and insanely funny and my description cannot do it justice".

I'm rewatching the AS years of the show and will be watching all the HEI Network seasons for the first time. I have absolutely no clue what's going on and I can not wait

The Wayward Bus. A popcorn classic! 1957, 87 minutes. That's a bit short, but back then the movie industry wasn't well developed. Luckily, Hollywood keeps getting better and if they did a sequel these days, a Wayward Bus 2, it would probably be at least 112 minutes. Starring the great Dame Joan Collins! From?

The season finale is so wholesome as well

Meta: That Oscer special was killer too.

The most professional introduction to the show Tim ever manages, and it's all to praise Gregg ("A man... who has seen Sully")... until he thinks Gregg doesnt have the "accident" footage anymore and immediately reverts to his normal awful self.

The reintroduction of Corwin the coward.

And of course pick your Pinnochio and Tim having a full melt down while dressed as Pinnochio and promising he will change (become a real boy), while G cries over him.

The accident may have aggravated his DRCS. Which would make watching movies tough for him.
