If I was in charge of a Batman cartoon — something that will literally NEVER happen, because I live in Alabama with no connections to the animation industry.

I would take advantage of Batman’s large cast of characters and cast it as an ensemble show. To reflect that, the show would be named something like The Dark Knights of Gotham, with the ‘s’ spray painted on at the end of Knight to give the impression this is a new reality for Bruce, with it by the end of the show the ‘s’ appearing as though it was there all along.

Season 1

In Season 1, the pilot would not be a retread of Batman’s story, but instead the pilot picks up with Dick’s story of the circus. Bruce has been active for about three years, and it’s just him and Alfred. I would want it to be a show that doesn’t focus too much on the larger world it’s sport of, à la X-Men: Evolution, so the Justice League is almost a non-existence presence. At the end of the two part pilot, Dick joins as Robin, as it’s the normal story, but at the end of the pilot we learn that the Joker pulled the strings and coerced Tony Zucco into taking the step to kill Dick’s parents, revealing he is closer to his portrayal by Heath Ledger, in that his brand of chaos is still chaos but it’s calculated. He has a goal, to break Batman, and he will play the long game to do it. Throughout the first season, we have small but noticeable time jumps that reveal Dick is getting older, with growing tension between Dick and Bruce as he gets older. Throughout the season, we get hints that Joker is building towards something, and in the finale it comes to a head — Joker kidnaps Dick and uses him as bait to lure Batman out. His plan is to kill Dick to break Batman, but Dick manages to escape and they take down Joker before Batman is killed, a last-ditch effort for Joker to get what he wants. Joker loses, but he notices the tension between Batman and Robin. The season ends with Dick leaving to become Nightwing, with teases of two characters in the final moments of the season — Batman catches someone stealing his tires and a Dr. Quinzel is buzzed into Joker’s cell at Arkham, where he was taken after his capture.

:readmore:

Season 2

Season 2 takes place two years later (you’ll find time jumps are common, similar to Young Justice). Jason has established himself as the new Robin and we open this season mid-battle between Batman, Robin, Harley Quinn, and Joker. The battle ends in Batman and Robin’s favor, but it’s difficult and it’s established that Harley Quinn has made Joker all the more formidable. Nightwing makes sporadic appearances throughout the season, sometimes it’s merely Nightwing declining calls other times he helps on a case. We’d have an episode based on that part in Nightwing: Year One, where Nightwing and Robin team up to save Batman. This would be towards the end of the season, where after multiple episodes of Nightwing dismissing or being outright rude to Robin, they finally connect and Nightwing accepts him as Robin. The finale is the Death in the Finale storyline as Joker tries to break Batman again, with the added addition of Harley Quinn, who after Jason dies realizes the error of her ways and vows to be better. We close on Batman weeping as he holds Robin, and we hear him whisper Jason’s name mournfully before fading to black.

Season 3

Season 3 opens on the same shot of Bruce holding Jason, before it transitions to Batman viciously hunting down Riddler and demanding to know if Riddler knows Joker’s location, who has disappeared in the aftermath of Jason’s death. Jim Gordon appears and arrests Riddler, and we zoom out to see a dark figure watching from the distance as Batman disappears into the night. Harley Quinn is in Arkham, where Stephanie Brown is visiting to see Cluemaster. Stephanie recognizes Harley and demands to know how she sleeps at night, to which Harley replies she doesn’t. Stephanie is shaken by this. Tim breaks into the Batcave and demands to be Robin, and to which Bruce refuses and almost has him arrested. A day later, Dick intervenes and tells him to get over himself and take Tim on. For half the season, Tim is Robin, and periodically we visit Stephanie, who is starting out as Spoiler and her rocky relationship with Batman, with Tim running interference when they meet and in the mid-season finale, Tim is busted as Robin by his father and Stephanie takes over as Robin from him. Stephanie and Bruce argue constantly, and we see flashbacks to his fighting with the other Robins, and he fires her in the penultimate episode of the season. Tim takes back over in the final battle against Joker, who has come out of hiding. Stephanie reappears when it looks like all is lost, and she and Batman make up. We close on a speech from Batman about never giving up on family, and he says he can’t make Stephanie Robin again, instead he makes a new position for her — the first Batgirl.

Season 4

Season 4 opens with a flashback indicating it happened the night Jason died, and we are introduced to the League of Assassins, who take Jason’s body from the morgue and revive in a Lazarus Pit. We jump to present day, where we see Robin, Batgirl, Batman, and Nightwing all chasing one man — the Red Hood, a new villain in Gotham. We see them getting aid from an off-screen voice, and then we learn who it is — Barbara Gordon, who was a victim of the Joker and decided to help the heroes of Gotham as Oracle. (Side note: I made Stephanie the first Batgirl and put Babs first as Oracle just to streamline the process, and because I don’t want this to just be a repeat of all the comic books.) Red Hood gets away, but a few nights later they are aided by a mysterious figure. The whole season is spent investigating this person and Red Hood. Mid-season we learn this is Cassandra, and she joins them. Cassandra will be completely mute and speak through sign-language. She takes on the name Black Bat. They eventually corner Red Hood after he finds the Joker and in an emotional confrontation, Jason leaves before he kills Joker but says he will never join Batman again. Season 4 is the last season, so in the finale we cut to a time skip. Dick has become Batman to an arrogant and moody but four years in the future — this is Damian. Stephanie and Tim are married and have left the hero game behind, and Babs runs mission ops for the new Batgirl Cassandra. This leads into a spin-off, where we follow the new Robin and Batman.

this stinks but I couldn’t get it out of my head

The Pates TL is always a mess because S2 Kiara said she has been best friends w the boys since kindergarten and that’s like 5 yos. This is why the Carreras dislike for them is so odd to me because, you have known these kids since they were babies! Moving on, 3rd grade is 8 yo and JB said he’s been BFFs w JJ since that grade so like my assumption would be; they were in the same kinder together and knew each other. jj and jb were the closest ones and as you said, they became bffs when JJ’s mom left and JJ needed a safe place then later Pope and Kiara joined their little group and the rest is history. I have this idea that Kie used to be at public school w the boys and lived in the edge of the cut because her parents were just getting around money but not that much money yet but they slowly grew into money later on so Kie had to move to figure eight. The idea of Kiara suddenly being a pogue to become a kook would be interesting to watch unfold.

We also know that Kiara wasn’t around just when Big John went missing (he had been missing for 9 months since we get to the pilot already) so season 1 starts with Kiara just recently being let into the group again (maybe a few months already) because she ditched them for Sarah and the Kook Academy for a little bit. I have this idea that she was still bffs with them at the start of the Kook Academy but started wanting to fit in and the communication between her and the pogues became less common and JJ probably was like “told you so. she got too good for us” which would explain his comment about Kie on the pilot.

There’s so many things pre-season 1 that would be so fun to see flashbacks of. A scene with Kiara reuniting with the boys a little bit after Big John when missing and their reactions to her wanting to come back to them. How JJ took in the whole Kiara leaving them situation, how JB reacted to it, we know Pope was still a bit bitter. How did they all developed a crush on Kiara.

And imagine a flashback of baby little pogues creating mischief. Little JB and JJ the trouble makers, little Pope the working brain cell already and little Kiara with an exasperated but fond smile. IT would be so cute HDBUSGE

This is exactly how I see them pre-show as well. There's a bit of weirdness with the timeline but to me this makes the most sense for where we meet the characters in S1 and everything we've learnt since.

I would KILL for a Kook year flashback episode. The angst would be immaculate. Knowing Kie comes back not long before the pilot and then she's asking "did you tell JJ?" in 1x03. Did being away from him during her Kook year stir up feelings? Did she miss talking to him everyday? Alternatively, did they actually keep in touch sporadically and develop a deeper connection? I need the answers.

Do we know if multiple views from the same place/device count on the CW app? Also would it count towards the views if you skip through most of the episode and just let the ads play? The ads are probably what they really care about anyway.

Sorry if you don't know you just seemed like a good person to ask.

Hi! As far as I understand, multiple views on the app count for separate streams, just not ratings. I'm not sure about actually watching the show v ads, but I would err on the side of caution and let the show run completely through just in case. But, I did want to make a renewal guide so people know exactly what to do to help (our efforts at this stage might not even matter, but it doesn't hurt to try).

WHAT THE CW WANTS

Real-time ratings: ie. people watching live during either the East or West Coast episode premieres. The easiest thing to do if you have cable/a TV streaming service (like YouTube TV or Hulu w/ Live TV). Tbh, even if you know that you won't be able to be at home for that airing, try to leave your TV on the CW just to get that extra view count!

Recording bumps: people who cannot watch the episode live, but watch later. NOTE: views only count towards ratings within 12-24 hours of the episode's premiere! This means that if you can, watch the episode ASAP if you missed the live-airing. Additionally, even if you were able to watch live, record the show anyway, and rewatch the show via DVR as many times as possible before 24 hours have passed (this should work with Hulu/YouTube, etc. as well).

App streams: This one is kinda tricky. The CW won't count this data towards ratings, as far as I'm aware, but they do keep this data for total streams. As such, I'd recommend putting the newest eps on your phone/various browsers (not different tabs, I don't think that will work), all while still repeating the DVR version on your TV if that applies to you. If that does NOT apply to you, I'd for sure play the new ep ASAP a few times on the website/app regardless, and keep that streaming throughout the week until the next ep premieres. (Tip: switch between episodes; it shows that it isn't just the newest episode that is drawing in viewers!)

On Demand views: If you have Cable, On-Demand should work similarly to the app. While that DVR bump is still in effect, stream the show on your DVR, but once that 24-hour period is over, switch over to On-Demand. I believe these streams are unique from the website/app streams, so there shouldn't be any complications from streaming in these methods at the same time (though please let me know if I'm wrong).

Social media activity: This is perhaps the most important thing, and can be helped by international fans, not just domestic ones. It also is going to be the hardest to achieve, since let's be honest, the Stargirl fandom in all but nonexistent on social media. The best way to get CW execs to notice is through Twitter (yes, I know), using the #DCStargirl tag. This can be done sporadically throughout the day, but ESPECIALLY should be prioritized before/during episode premieres, in order to improve the tag's chances of trending while the show airs. The CW loves having their shows trend. Take Riverdale, which only gets about 100k-200k views per episode, but trends EVERY Sunday. Stargirl, which gets about 500k views, only gets a couple thousand Tweets while it airs. The easiest way to get this number up (and with things that aren't just spam) is to live-Tweet your reactions to whatever is going on in the episode. If you don't want your regular followers/friends/families to see you spamming about this show, just make a Stargirl-specific account. The CW won't care, they just will notice Tweets coming from your (and others') account! This doesn't mean to stop using Tumblr/Instagram/whatever, just prioritize the app the execs prioritize.

WHAT WARNER WANTS

All of the above, especially in terms of social media, but additionally,

Streams of older seasons: If you're in the US, you should be streaming the show on HBO Max as much as you can. If you're outside of the US, use whatever platform Stargirl is hosted on in your country. These streams are counted by household, meaning that it doesn't matter if you are watching the show on your profile and your friends'/families'; just prioritize watching seasons all the way through.

Streams of current season: If you are fortunate to live in a country that gets access to the new season the day after it airs on a streaming platform, the above note applies to you, but even more so. I'd recommend watching the newest season more than older ones, but still occasionally open up the series from the beginning of either season one or season two. Streaming the series from pilot to current episode is also a pretty safe bet (but maybe watch the newest two eps twice or thrice, just to make sure).

Social media. Again: I'm serious. The social media aspect of this show is huge. Don't just talk about the newest episode/season on days when the show isn't airing; talk about everything! This shows execs that the show has general buzz as well as relevancy buzz, and will persist in the off-season.

Off-season buzz: What normally happens between season with this show can't happen again, especially if we get renewed. If we want the full five-season plan, make sure to Tweet/post with the hashtag at least once a week, to keep the tag alive and well! This helps execs and prevents fan drought! It also makes the show/fan community more accessible to newer fans, who can, in turn, talk about the show!

Okay, I think that about covers it. Let me know if I forgot anything, and good luck!

Metamorphosis’ voice

So.

A long time ago in the early 2000s, I had cable. Far more importantly, I had friends who had cable.

So, we got into this TV show called Stargate SG-1, and we’d watch it when I was over. And it was fun. Budget? Questionable. Effects? Okayish. But it was fun.

Later, at the end of a season they introduced a new character named Elizabeth who would run the base after the previous guy left for some reason.

Episode 1 of the next season they had completely replaced the actor who played Elizabeth and we suddenly had a completely different person running things.

Anyway, a few years later the previous guy from the pre-Elizabeth years came back or something—and Elizabeth goes off as leader of a new base in another galaxy in a spinoff TV show called Stargate: Atlantis, which:

a) ran immediately after Stargate: SG-1 in a sort of two-hour Stargate Programming Block,

b) very briefly had Robert Patrick in it for one, maybe two episodes tops before his character bought the farm as part of a main character’s tragic backstory,

c) was the first time I saw actor Jason Momoa in anything ever. (This is the same Jason Momoa who now plays Duncan Idaho and Aquaman.)

My viewership of this second show was sporadic, and mostly if I was over at my friends’ house. And we gradually noticed that the show had... problems.

Episode: our heroes fight a battle and lose personnel to get a new power source at great cost but now we can finally do something.

Next episode: new power source explodes, back to square one.

Most of the series continued like that! A new piece of tech that will progress the story is acquired, then it is destroyed in the next episode and we are back to status quo. It after the third or fourth time it happened it became maddening, and it eventually was the reason I finally gave up and stopped watching.

SG-1 would acquire a new spaceship and it would prove instrumental later on in a big space battle or a science fiction scenario involving time dilation or something; Atlantis would acquire a new ship and the ship would be destroyed next episode, and this continued for years until I’m told that finally some stuff actually happened—after I’d stopped watching.

In the end, it felt like there were two dynamics:

1) Showrunner was allowing drastically inconsistent characterization of characters and entire civilizations from both the writers-who-were-clearly-at-war-with-each-other and the various directors of various episodes, the best example being a villain from a talkative but villainous civilization who doesn’t speak a single word in the episode, just growling and making angry noises.

2) Showrunner was allowing for plot stagnation due to writers-who-were-clearly-at-war-with-each-other, and every new item, technology, or whatever that could have progressed the plot was immediately destroyed next episode, every single time.

So, in our mounting frustration with the writers’ refusal to allow the plot to move in any meaningful way, my friend group gave up on the show and moved on to something else.

That said, there was one episode that stuck with me where the good-guy human lead protagonist guy, and a member of the bad-guy alien civilization, are both in a prison run by a third faction comprised of different-but-also-bad-guys who are, ethically speaking, worse than either of them.

Eventually the two prisoners team up and do a jailbreak and in the end they part ways without killing one another, and both sides learn that the other are at least theoretically capable of showing mercy.

The good guy’s name is John. The bad guy is an alien who has no name that I remember, at least in the show (which feels like a weakness in the writing), but John names him “Todd” because humans like calling people stuff.

So. Why is all this information necessary if we’re supposed to be talking about my changeling?

Well, it turns out that sometime after I stopped watching, Todd actually returned several times as a guest star—not always portrayed by the same actor in makeup, but apparently always voiced by the original actor when lines were rerecorded in post, as one does.

This brings us back to that inconsistency I mentioned: Todd’s character, behavior, personality, vocal delivery, and even the post-production vocal effects are inconsistent depending on who directed, who supervised the vocal recordings in post, and who did post-production effects, not merely for a given season but from episode to episode, even if Todd’s appearances were sparse.

But a couple of years ago I accidentally discovered that Todd had acquired an online fanclub of sorts, and in addition to fanfiction shipping Todd with, well, everybody, clips featuring Todd were being posted to YouTube by various people, which allowed me to see various performances of the only character in the show who actually had any impact on me: the escaped prisoner from that one episode.

Now, as I said, Todd’s vocal performances, intonation, post-production etc. varied drastically from episode to episode.

But there’s this one specific clip I found from an episode that featured an alternate timeline where everybody dies and time travel to restore the original timeline saves the day at the end:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBXROSxnt9w&t=72s

This. Guy named Rodney is narrating, then we got Jason Momoa as Ronon, and Christopher Heyerdahl as Todd, but Heyerdahl’s performance in this clip (and seemingly no other!)... that’s my bug’s voice. The tone, the effect, the snark, the 100% doneness, even the choice of strategy—all of it.

Cellular Peptide Cake

I don't remember when I first saw Star Trek, but I was definitely quite young, maybe five years old. I was born in 1971, so only a few years after it went off the air the first time, but still playing in syndication. The first episode I remember clearly might have been "Operation--Annihilate!", and I imagine I found those plastic fried-egg cell things to be quite scary at the time. I watched it sporadically for years, and I'm not convinced I saw every episode for a long time. I was also reading James Blish's Star Trek episode collections (and the Alan Dean Foster equivalents for the animated series) from the library, where they were filed down in the kids' section for some reason. To some extent those books and the actual episodes blended together in my head. In particular I remember Star Trek 9 and the episode "Obsession", which I never saw for years and years, but I knew how it went. Some of my favourites were ones that maybe haven't held up particularly well, like "Court Martial" and "Specter of The Gun" and "The Savage Curtain", but in general I watched them pretty indiscriminately, had no concept of which ones were from which season or anything like that. I did watch some of the animated series too, but not nearly as much.

I of course saw the first movie when it came out, and had the soundtrack album; I started reading the novels that came out afterwards, too. (I suppose I had read some of the earlier ones, like "Spock Must Die", already as well, but mostly the newer ones.) I saw most of the rest of the movies too (I still haven't seen all of Star Trek V); Star Trek IV was my favourite. I also got the book "The Making of Star Trek" which lots of interesting behind-the-scenes stuff about how the series came to be.

And then TNG came out. I was kind of iffy on it at first. I missed "Encounter At Farpoint", but luckily a friend had it on tape so I watched it a little while later. As a "gifted child" two years younger than my classmates, I had some issues with the character of Wesley Crusher, finding him painful to watch most of the time. I stopped watching it with any consistency and it became an occasional thing. But I gradually became fond of it, and enjoyed most of the episodes I watched, though again I lost track of which ones were new or old. At some point I got a book which had a list of all the TNG episodes, which helped me fill in some of the gaps. (There was a period where they had TNG reruns on one channel late at night after Jerry Springer, and I caught up on a lot there.) I wasn't as fond of the TNG movies, though; "First Contact" was the best, but even that was never a favourite. I haven't rewatched any of them, though.

Deep Space 9...my wife and I tried it when it came out, watched a few episodes, but I think "Move Along Home" mostly killed it for us. I've seen about half a dozen episodes since then--the tribbles one, the "O'Brien replicant" one, and some of the mirror universe ones. One day perhaps I'll make a concerted effort to get back into it. It’s possible I won’t just consider it to be a Babylon 5 ripoff.

But we did try Voyager when it came out, and it may be the only Star Trek series (or, at least, the only post-TOS pre-Discovery series) that we never gave up on. Oh, we did miss most of Season 2 because we lost access to cable channels for a year, but we went right back to it when we could, and watched it to the end. I don't recall it having nearly as many standout episodes as TNG, but it was a lot more consistent from the very beginning, at least.

"Enterprise" we also tried but it didn't hold our interest. Not sure if there was any big reason, but one thing that low-key bugged me was always when stuff taking place before TOS didn't feel continuous with it. Like, TNG and Enterprise both used "offline" a lot. TOS never did...and yet it was chronologically in between them. It makes sense out-of-universe that TOS wouldn't have used terminology that didn't exist yet in the 60s, but it felt wrong in-universe. Same thing with the visible tech level differences between Discovery and TOS later. (And let's not even mention the periodic Klingon redesigns.)

The "reboot"/"Kelvin timeline" movies were okay but didn't wholly in me over either. They seemed a little gimmicky sometimes. The third one actually felt most like actual Star Trek to me. I haven't rewatched any of those either.

Of the newer series...we watched three seasons of "Discovery" and may have given up on it for now. At least, it's on hiatus for us. The series-long arc thing takes some getting used to, the continuity issues do bother me a little, and some of the stuff just seems outlandish. The spore drive? The giant tardigrade? (Does it never occur to anyone that you can't just make a tardigrade bigger and expect it to have all the same characteristics? Square-cube law, anyone?) I like most of the characters, though, and the Harry Mudd time-loop episode was enjoyable. We haven't tried "Strange New Worlds", and we only watched one episode of "Lower Decks" before deciding it wasn't for us.

"Picard" we've seen two seasons of, though not the third yet. Once again with the season-long story arcs, but it is interesting how they pick up some of the dangling plot threads from TNG and weave them into other stuff.

Honourable mention has to go to "The Orville", which is the Star Trek which is the most Star Trek without being Star Trek. (Like that Firesign Theatre joke: "Benjamin Franklin--the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States.") It's most like TNG, but with characters who swear more and have more juvenile senses of humour. Again, I haven't seen the latest season of it, but I enjoyed the first two and will probably get back into it at some point.

But it's TNG that I'm always going back to. TOS I can't take seriously any more, for some reason; I did just rewatch it, partly in step with listening to the Mission Log podcast about each episode, but for the most part I feel like I'm done with it. The animated series...well, I'm still revisiting that one, but I suspect it's not going to hold up that well either. TNG...the first two seasons are highly spotty, but after that it gets really consistent. It is more episodic than modern shows, but that just means that individual episodes can be experienced on their own with greater enjoyment. DS9...I've heard a lot of good things about it, and I'm sure if I can just get over that initial hump I'll enjoy it just fine. Voyager...that one does demand more of an in-order watch, and there is that entire season I've mostly missed. Enterprise...well, maybe, one day.

Right now we're doing a TNG watch-through (skipping the really bad episodes, mostly) with the family. Looking forward to it.

Adult Swim 2001-2002 Year-in-Review

I wrote this three years ago. It's basically a look at every single lineup Adult Swim (the adult programming block and later channel on Cartoon Network) had for the first year of its existence. Read on if that sounds fun to you. There's like light show reviews but nothing substantial. It's mostly about how the block as a whole was programmed.

Adult Swim 2001-2002 Year-in-Review

In 2001, we were first introduced to a programming block on Cartoon Network that quickly spiraled into a full fledged second channel, entitled Adult Swim. Let’s check out what it had to offer in its fledgling months.

SUNDAY PREMIERE SCHEDULE September 2nd, 2001 – September 13th, 2001

10:00 Home Movies (PREMIERE) 10:30 The Brak Show (PREMIERE) 10:45 The Brak Show (PREMIERE) 11:00 Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law (PREMIERE)/Aqua Teen Hunger Force (PREMIERE) 11:15 Sealab 2021 (PREMIERE) 11:30 Space Ghost Coast to Coast (PREMIERE)/Space Ghost Coast to Coast 11:45 Space Ghost Coast to Coast 12:00 Cowboy Bebop (PREMIERE) 12:30 Cowboy Bebop (PREMIERE)

I combined two schedules into one here. It must be said, I think this could be the best opening lineup in programming block history. Nearly EVERYTHING here is a network premiere.

The Brak Show, Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman and ATHF had all spun off from Space Ghost C2C in various ways, and as such the block at this point very much felt like Space Ghost’s farewell tour. Space Ghost would continue on, but it was very sporadic and eventually culminated in the GameTap seasons. A new episode debuted on the block’s premiere, but went back to reruns again afterwards, which would continue for over a month. Just another testament to how unusual the show’s airings had become. C2C’s spinoffs had actually been seen on the network as far back as December of the previous year, when some episodes were aired on random days very early in the morning. Since then, they had now been able to find their home.

And, it must be said, all four were pretty good.

Augmenting the new blood of C2C’s various spinoffs and inspirees (if that’s a word) were two acquired programs. Home Movies was an underappreciated UPN show that Cartoon Network picked up and decided to produce themselves. Airing first were the episodes that had never been seen before on television. The first 5 episodes had aired on UPN but were being skipped over for now.

Cowboy Bebop is now seen as one of the best regarded anime in western history, with it being particularly easy to come to adore whether you ‘liked anime’ or not. Originally announced for the Toonami block, the show’s intense violence would have made it an odd fit for the block unless it were to air on Midnight Run, Toonami’s late night weeknight block of the time. The current Midnight Run had premiered with the promise (and delivery) of Gundam Wing uncut, and had recently completed airing another Gundam series, “The 08th MS Team” exclusively for Midnight Run, but that show had aired edited as if already prepared for the regular block. Cowboy Bebop eventually ended up airing on Adult Swim. Perhaps it stuck out next to the other shows, which were mainly laid back stoner comedies, but it did lend a bit of the Toonami air of cooless to Adult Swim. For a lot of people, this was their first experience watching Cowboy Bebop, and it left an impact on lots of those people. Personally, I consider it one of my favorite animes of all time.

Complementing this block of programming were bumpers that clearly outline the premise of the block: it’s adult swim at the pool, time for the kids to leave. Since this is an adult block and all. So, we get a bunch of shots of old people, random shots of pools and poolside signs, and a bored-sounding announcer who seems to be using a megaphone. Musically, we don’t always get any, but when we do, it’s usually Dust Devil’s now-iconic “D-Code”. I think this song perfectly fits Adult Swim’s innovative and mischievous style and helped lend what should be by all rights a plain (if a bit unusual) set of bumpers that energy.

So, as a block right out the gate, it’s about as good as you could have possibly hoped. Bunch of new shows in a similar style to Space Ghost C2C, a great show which has been one of CN’s most influential shows for most of the channel’s existence, the redemption for Home Movies, a show which deserved a chance, and the North American television premiere of one of the most beloved anime of all time. Plus weird yet memorable bumpers. Adult Swim had it all. This was an explosive premiere to say the least.

Oh yeah, and the block had a rerun on Thursdays. Kind of an odd place for it, but whatever.

September 16th, 2001 – September 20th, 2001

10:00 Home Movies (PREMIERE) 10:30 The Brak Show 10:45 The Brak Show 11:00 Aqua Teen Hunger Force (PREMIERE) 11:15 Sealab 2021 (PREMIERE) 11:30 Space Ghost Coast to Coast 11:45 Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Only one major difference here (besides Brak Show doing reruns), which is that Cowboy Bebop has been temporarily taken off following 9/11.

It’s just a little bit, but the schedule has in some way changed its lineup every single week so far, mostly due to Harvey Birdman and Aqua Teen Hunger Force rotating. Besides that, gotta give a shout out to Cowboy Bebop premiering “Ballad of Fallen Angels”, a beautiful, iconic episode. This episode really begins to propel the series forward after several character introductions and mood-setting, providing a real look at the ‘main plot’ moving forward. Spike’s character as well as backstory are both fleshed out a lot and overall it’s just a fantastic episode for the series. I’m certain this episode alone hooked a lot of people into seeing the show through to the end.

More Bebop talk, specifically, at this point, two episodes have been skipped over following 9/11. I’m assuming their removal was due to violence. For the first one, I guess I can understand why the image of Spike apparently shooting a child in the face would raise some eyebrows, but I don’t really know why “Waltz for Venus” would be held back.

Home Movies finished airing the later part of Season 1 during this time and began to air the UPN episodes. Also in the headlines, ATHF/Brak Show begin rotating here, which would stand for quite some time.

Home Movies runs out of new episodes to air. Thankfully, the show’s 2nd Season would be coming in just two months, but for now, this left the block as mostly reruns for the first time ever. It was a good run.

And now a schedule where there was nothing new from the Adult Swim original programming end of the spectrum. Sad!

Sorry to get kind of confusing here, but I want to consolidate two weeks into one here. Anyway, the first week had another new Space Ghost, while the second week(kind of) ended Cowboy Bebop’s initial run. It had a lack of premiere in the 12:00 time slot the second week because they decided to air the two-parter series finale back to back, even though the first part had aired the week before. Whatever! So, Bebop ended up skipping 3 episodes total, those being “Sympathy for the Devil”, “Waltz for Venus”, and “Cowboy Funk” (episodes 6, 8, and 22). Although “Cowboy Funk” is a fan favorite due to its inclusion of the hilarious Cowboy Andy, its exclusion does make sense considering a person who likes to blow up large buildings is an important part of its story.

See, I’m confused here, because Wikipedia claims SGC2C aired a new ‘episode’ named “Mommentary” (actually a Director’s Commentary type thing made into an episode for some unknown reason), but Swimpedia (a beautiful and excellent website without which what I’m doing here would be literally impossible) says the episode aired was “Waiting for Edward Part 2”, an episode that does not exist. Let’s just say “Mommentary” premiered and give it a rest. Bebop has gone back to episode 1.

Bebop aired two of the previously skipped over episodes, “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Waltz for Venus” during these two weeks, leaving only “Cowboy Funk” to air later, as one of the last episodes in the series.

December 30th, 2001 – January 3rd, 2002

Swimpedia purports that “Mommentary” actually premiered this week. They’re probably right, but shrug. On the plus side, we’ve gotten through a WHOLE YEAR of Adult Swim! Well, the year was mostly over by the time the block began but whatever.

January 6th, 2002 – February 7th, 2002

Starting 2002 off right, we have the premiere of Home Movies’ 2nd Season as well as the debut of Baby Blues, which had been kicked off of The WB on its initial run and finally saw its final 5 episodes aired as part of Adult Swim. On the other hand, Baby Blues seems to have been airing episodes basically in random order. Whatever, the schedule is pretty rock solid right now and has now added new programming for the first time, so things are going well for the fledgling block.

This is an odd one for a couple of reasons. For one thing, apparently, the Adult Swim crew actually LOST the tape for “Cowboy Funk”, the one remaining Cowboy Bebop episode left unaired until now. They found it in time for the Thursday broadcast, which is when it saw its debut and finally wrapped up Bebop. On the other hand, this was THE LAST Thursday broadcast in its traditional ‘rerun’ format. Adult Swim’s second night would migrate elsewhere and bring along with it a very interesting change…

Nothing unusual here besides this being the last time Cowboy Bebop would air on a Sunday for some time… for you see…

Adult Swim Action — Saturday February 23rd, 2002 – May 11th, 2002

11:00 Yu Yu Hakusho (PREMIERE) 11:30 Cowboy Bebop 12:00 Pilot Candidate (PREMIERE) 12:30 Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (PREMIERE) 1:00 Outlaw Star 1:30 Tenchi Muyo!

It was now time for the very first Adult Swim Action block! This spin-off block, clearly centered around anime, brought about the premiere of three shows, all of which were surely originally destined for airing on Toonami in some manner. This can be clearly seen with Pilot Candidate, which had gone through a bunch of censorship so as to air on Toonami, only to end up on Adult Swim. It even stated its rating as TV-Y7 in commercials. Yu Yu Hakusho saw its first airing on Cartoon Network here. It would later bounce around Toonami, SVES, then back to Toonami, but for now, it was Adult Swim. Last in terms of new shows was the OVA Gundam 0083, unsurprising considering Cartoon Network had been in love with Gundam for the last couple years following the success of Gundam Wing. Rounding out the block were the now-moved Cowboy Bebop as well as two shows which had aired on Toonami, Outlaw Star and Tenchi Muyo!. Unfortunately, neither were ‘uncut’ and simply aired the same as they had done on Toonami. There was also no airing for the skipped-over fanservice episode of Outlaw Star in the cards, viewers would have to wait over 16 more years for Adult Swim to finally air the episode.

To go along with this Saturday version of Adult Swim, there was an entirely new bumper set, featuring a text to speech robotic voice, glitchy and sometimes surreal editing, and some distinctly Toonami-like bumpers showing transitions between shows and even show intros like on Toonami, at least in the case of Yu Yu Hakusho. Because if you’re going to make an intro, why not use it, right? Just slap a new title card on there and it’s fine! Yeah, this block definitely has some Toonami fingerprints on it, which would basically continue with Adult Swim and anime for quite some time. Not too surprising since that was the block that really established anime on Cartoon Network. This block was nothing but, and for my money, this is a pretty quality lineup along with a fun presentation.

This lineup would stay just like this all the way until May, when Pilot Candidate ran out of episodes and started doing reruns. Even then, it didn’t see another real lineup change until June, so we’ll check back in later.

Adult Swim — Sunday February 24th, 2002 – March 3rd, 2002

With Bebop gone, it was time to find a replacement. For two weeks, the replacement was… Rocky and Bullwinkle and The Popeye Show? While both of these shows are pretty cool and more-or-less fit an adult demographic, there’s something odd about having them formally included as part of Adult Swim’s schedule, at least in a time before the age of stuff like the 5am time slot being whatever random thing they had. To be fair, The Popeye Show had only recently premiered, finishing debut of its first season shortly before this, so perhaps this was a bit of an attempt at getting viewers interested in the program. Rocky and Bullwinkle on the other hand? Quite odd. There’s actually footage of its “next” bumper on YouTube, it features no voiceover and was even mistaken for being “a next bumper for a non-Adult Swim show”. By all accounts, this was actually considered part of Adult Swim.

Meanwhile, Adult Swim begins a new line of programming, ‘Adult Swim Specials’ aka failed pilots and other random stuff they felt like airing. Welcome to Eltingville was first and aired on March 3rd.

Adult Swim — Sunday March 10th, 2002

Like I said, things are getting kind of weird now. First airing of what would eventually become an occasional Adult Swim mainstay in Boo Boo Runs Wild, along with two Jetsons shorts originally only on the Cartoon Network website. As far as I know, they saw their television debut here. Don’t ask me anything else about them because this is the first I’m hearing of their existence. In more unfortunate news, it’s already time for the first of what I’ll be calling a ‘re-air’. You know, where a show from earlier in the block is just aired… again. Adult Swim would end up using this a good amount to fill time, which I don’t understand in the slightest. Even an old episode of Home Movies would be better to me, we JUST aired that episode that night! But oh well. There was clearly 1. some experimentation at play and 2. a need to find ways to replace the hour of Cowboy Bebop.

In case you don’t know what “Night of the Living Doo” was, it was a special basically created to serve as bumpers for a Scooby-Doo marathon. At the end, the compiled bumpers were aired as their own separate program, which was re-aired here.

Home Movies and Baby Blues both ran out of new episodes on the same week, thankfully we have ATHF and Sealab to pick up the weight. Concerningly, however, the entire last hour of the block is re-airings. Rather than have this re-airings, why not just… not re-air things– okay nevermind if I get hung up on this then I’ll never stop talking about it. But hey, if you missed that rerun of Home Movies, it’s on again two hours later just for you! You know, for those people who couldn’t catch the 10:00 airing but could catch the 12:00, liked Home Movies, and didn’t own a VCR. There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Here’s a bit of a shakeup. For some unknown reason, the same episode of Baby Blues airs twice in the span of 90 minutes. Seriously, why would this ever happen? Besides that, there’s less re-airings in general.

Actual Space Ghost premieres! Well, they’re just more commentary track type things that are apparently considered their own episodes, but whatever. This ends Space Ghost’s 7th Season. There’s also no re-airings on this lineup.

The return of Adult Swim Action! Yeah, like established before, the only difference here is that Pilot Candidate is out of new episodes. The second week, 0083 stopped airing new episodes as well. And the block didn’t air at all on June 1st due to being preempted by the annual June Bugs marathon. And Tenchi Universe snuck in there for a week before (spoilers) disappearing from the schedule by June. Overall, a relatively exciting and impactful time for the block. Relatively.

Besides reruns of old failed pilots, we now have our second new show for the Sunday lineup: Mission Hill, another WB cartoon that was cancelled before it could even finish airing. A decent number of Mission Hill’s episodes debuted first on Adult Swim. I actually like this show quite a bit, so it’s good to see it getting its fair chance here, although it wasn’t exactly given the Baby Blues treatment and put at the beginning of the block. Oh well.

And here’s a treat: Yu Yu Hakusho marathon for two weeks in a row! The first three airings on the first week were premieres, and these would actually end up being the last new premieres for the show until it moved to Toonami in 2003. As for why, I’m not entirely certain. I’d assume there was some kind of break in dubbing or lack of rights to newer episodes? I don’t know. Anyway, Yu Yu Hakusho was done with new episodes for now. Not the greatest thing considering the show would continue to rerun for the better part of a year on only 21 episodes. Don’t worry, YYH would eventually see all of its episodes aired on Cartoon Network, it just took half a decade to accomplish it.

All of June could be summed up into one lineup, and the same goes for July. I raise an eyebrow at the Baby Blues re-airing, but at least all four of the original Adult Swim shows get to live in harmony without two of them rotating. Also, Harvey Birdman gets regular new episodes. That’s fun.

Adult Swim Action — Saturday July 20th, 2002 – July 27th, 2002

The rest of the month on Adult Swim Action is also spent in marathon, this time with Cowboy Bebop. I actually really like the July 20th block, it essentially goes through the main storyline of the show and features both two parters. The second week has more or less random episodes, I suppose they could just be the favorites around the office or something.

ASA went into kind of a holding pattern for a few weeks, airing no new episodes. Plus, it was preempted on the 24th. Poor, poor ASA. Things were looking up, though, just see its next lineup!

New show! Besides the Space Ghost spawn, all of Adult Swim’s shows had been acquired programming, usually (with the exception of Cowboy Bebop) an underappreciated network cartoon that had unaired episodes. The Oblongs fit this mold and would also end up premiering previously-unseen episodes as part of Adult Swim. Along with this, Home Movies began airing episodes from its third season.

11:00 Inuyasha (PREMIERE) 11:30 Yu Yu Hakusho 12:00 Cowboy Bebop 12:30 Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory 1:00 Mobile Suit Gundam 1:30 Outlaw Star

Yes, it was on this day that the long-running Inuyasha made its debut on Adult Swim, bumping Pilot Candidate off the schedule, most likely for good. I mean, I’m pretty sure it was for good, I just haven’t bothered to actually check. Anyway, this lineup would stay, untouched, until December, and even then, the only change to come would be doubling up on Inuyasha and kicking Outlaw Star to the curb. Still, this is a pretty solid lineup overall in my opinion.

Adult Swim — Sunday September 1st, 2002 – September 8th, 2002

10:00 Home Movies 10:30 The Oblongs (PREMIERE) 11:00 Mission Hill 11:30 Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law 11:45 Sealab 2021 12:00 Aqua Teen Hunger Force 12:15 The Brak Show 12:30 Space Ghost Coast to Coast 12:45 Space Ghost Coast to Coast

And this will wrap up our look at the first year of Adult Swim! For the record, the only change in this lineup is that Home Movies stopped airing new episodes in September.

So what do I think of the fledgling block’s first year? Well… I don’t know, it was good? Not super exciting stuff, but it had a blockbuster debut, has saved the reputations (and episodes) of plenty of now-well regarded cult adult animated shows from the early 2000s, brought a true ‘adult block’ to Cartoon Network for the first time, and promises a lot in the future. Plus, Adult Swim Action is a good time as well even if it hasn’t changed much over the course of half a year. Overall, a good year and a good first year as well.

Star Trek Prodigy: First Con-tact (1x07)

Summary: The crew messes up first contact; there’s a Ferengi lady.

Comments: The more AQ aliens that appear, the more I’m inclined to just ignore any mystery they may be generating. I’m worried it’s never going to be explained. Here, the crew meets Nandi, a Ferengi woman who was Dal’s foster mom (or something) before she sold him to The Diviner.

Skipping over why there’s a Ferengi woman over here in the DQ, this is the first Ferengi character we’ve gotten in Prodigy (not that we needed one) and so I want to talk about that since the Ferengi are one of the more interesting alien species of the Star Trek franchise for me. They were introduced as fresh adversaries for the TNG crew in The Last Outpost, but were a resounding flop and only appeared sporadically throughout the early seasons as weak antagonists. By later seasons of TNG, they essentially only served the role of gag villains (e.g., The Price and Ménage à Troi).

So their rebirth over the course of DS9 through the hard work of Ira Steven Behr (from The Nagus all the way to The Magnificent Ferengi) was simply fascinating to watch, a solid study of how to develop characters beyond stock status. Of course, as Star Trek Vanilla Lite, Voyager regressed to their earlier portrayal in episodes like False Profits (a pair of Ferengi pretend to be gods to swindle people) and Inside Man (a pair of Ferengi hijack a hologram to swindle people), and that’s the flavor of Ferengi we get here: a Ferengi woman lies and pulls on heart strings to swindle people.

I didn’t take any notes on this episode, and I watched it over a week ago now, but Nandi explains she needs Dal’s help because “a Federation ship can open doors” (or something). This, from what I remember, never actually comes up: the planet they land on has had no prior contact with other species (it’s a first contact mission), so the fact that the Protostar is—at least in appearance—a Federation vessel has no relevance. Besides, there’s no “door” that needs to be opened: they land the ship on the planet and then walk around (after Gwyn saves them). It’s also a strange thing to say in the DQ since (1) the expectation is that no one would know what the Federation even is and (2) if they did, their experience would likely have been negative (based on the events of Voyager). Also, if this is a first-contact planet, and the McGuffin crystals are deep inside the inhabitant’s sanctuary place, how would Nandi have known those crystals even existed, much less where to find them? These are just details...

Anyways, breaking the Prime Directive should really result in stricter consequences beyond “Holo!Janeway is upset with you,” which itself doesn’t have any much bite since Janeway herself has broken it on at least a couple occasions (arguably).

Oh, we learn that the Protostar was boarded by the scary robot guy that works for The Diviner. So... that central mystery plot is really driving this show for me still. If The Diviner already had the ship, how did he lose it? And what did they do with Chakotay (not that I care)? Is he back on the asteroid breaking apart rocks? Wait, now that they know the Protostar isn’t in the mines, are the slaves still back there breaking apart rocks?

My enjoyment: 2/5

not gonna lie I would love to hear more about the drama and infighting that went on in The Vampire Diaries fandom if you have the time (and also want to use that time to give your experience with the fandom, which from the snippets you've told sounds Not Fun so I get it if you don't want to lol)

oh god, there was like, SO MUCH, i just

i really feel like tvd is one of those fandoms that is so hard to describe without a lot of ‘you’d have to have been there’, but it really felt like this huge and all-consuming beast for about five years until the show finally imploded and the fandom basically turned on it en masse. (you ever see that post going around that’s like ‘if you ever want to know what true regret feels like, ask someone who once called tvd their favorite show’? still a mood, all these years later. basically the entire fandom thought the show should have just bowed out with whatever shreds of dignity it had left at the end of season 6, and became more of a hatedom than a fandom for the last two seasons. when you have an entire fandom cheering news of your show’s cancellation, i think that’s a sign you done fucked up, julie.)

first and most infamous, of course, are the ship wars. which are pretty much inevitable in any teen-centered drama, and i really think the CW fucking thrives on them, but it was particularly egregious in TVD’s case because not only was the base premise of the show a love triangle, but the two main romantic leads were brothers that the show constantly pit against one another--in pursuit of elena’s affections, but also because it kept up this insistence on the ‘good brother/bad brother’ dichotomy which stopped making sense after about season 2 (by which time we have found out that the good brother was never as good as he appeared, and the bad brother has been growing and isn’t nearly as bad as he pretends to be)--and the question of which brother ‘deserved’ elena (and no, what elena wanted very rarely factored into these discussions, especially in the team stefan camp because they turned on her when what she wanted was no longer The Good Brother, but i’ll get to that in a bit) was hotly contested.

i’m not kidding when i say the shipping wars were vicious. i started watching tvd shortly after it began to air, which was late 2009, and kept up with it fairly sporadically over the years. i didn’t come onto tumblr until 2011/2012, and by then, the fandom was already pretty much a garbagefire. there were anti ship and anti character blogs, any time something bad happened for one ship the rival ship would invade the tags to gloat about it (seasons 3 and 4 were especially rough, and i’m not gonna pretend delena fans weren’t just as bad about tag invasion and shit, but as that was my side of the road i saw a lot more of the stelena shippers being assholes, which soured my opinion on the ship a long time before i started rewatching and realized the red flags were there from the start), confessions blogs were popular also toxic as fuck (so much fighting happened in the notes of those posts, good gods), and this was right around when twitter’s popularity was on the rise and the line between Celebrity and Fan was thinning, so the fandom was absolutely atrocious to much of the tvd cast and crew.

(some of them deserved a lot of the later backlash, but in the early years a lot of it was ‘how dare you write the story in a way i dont like, you terrible fucking person’, and gods don’t get me started on the dobsley vs nian Thing)

i think what really encapsulates my feelings on the tvd fandom as a whole, though, is the way they (to this DAY) treated elena gilbert, which can be summed up in one meme that gained a lot of traction around season 3 if i remember right: that gif of pam from true blood, with the text altered to read “i’m so OVER elena and her precious doppelganger vagina!”

i swear at one time i had over half the active tvd fan accounts on tumblr blocked, because i got to a point where i would no longer tolerate elena hate, and she was (and still is, in what remains of the fandom; you’ll see a lot of ‘elena was one of the worst things about the show’ takes from ex-fans, too) one of the most widely despised characters in the entire fandom. because she -checks smudged writing on hand- was a traumatized teenage girl who -reads off a crumpled notecard- couldn’t always perfectly sort out her own feelings and -squints at the ceiling- sometimes made mistakes or bad decisions. (except a lot of the fandom also insisted that she was a mary sue who had no character traits or flaws or faults and it was like....make up your fucking minds???? is she a calculating conniving bitch whose somehow manipulating these centuries old vampires to tie them around her little finger or is she a boring flat character with no depth and no flaws??? jfc)

there was this massive double standard, too--like, stefan and damon could fuck whoever they wanted and that was fine, but elena was constantly raked over the coals for the crime of developing romantic feelings for the two men who had become constants in her life and whom she cared for deeply, and oh my GOD the slut shaming that happened when elena slept with damon was fucking wild. (and also happened in canon lmfao. like the show had one of elena’s best friends basically call her diseased on screen for falling in love with someone other than stefan. it was gross and ridiculous and the friend in question was also being a giant hypocrite at the time since she was happily flirting with someone who was directly responsible for the deaths of like four of elena’s loved ones and her own boyfriend’s mother but that’s beside the point) but like elena was called a slut and a bitch and a whore for ‘cheating’ on stefan (she hadn’t, and she had in fact broken up with him on screen the episode earlier) and ‘immediately’ jumping into bed with damon, even though none of them said fucking boo when stefan had one night stands or damon had fuckbuddies or whatever.

shit, caroline didn’t get any of this treatment when she started falling for tyler while dating matt! which isn’t to say i think she should have, just that i think it’s fucking ridiculous that elena was absolutely demonized by the fandom for daring to have feelings for two guys at once and eventually acting on them--despite the fact that the entire premise of the show was a love triangle. it’s not a love triangle if both sides don’t eventually get explored, and the crew had been pretty explicit about the fact that delena was going to happen at some point--but when it did, a huge chunk of the fandom absolutely threw a fit.

and a lot of these elena haters were alleged stelena stans, and i say alleged because they hated her so much for not wanting stefan’s dick anymore that it was clear they were really stefan stans and only wanted stelena to be endgame because they wanted stefan to ‘win’ at the end of the day, because ‘he’s the good brother’ so he deserved elena more.

it was all very gross and very misogynistic and very sex shaming (apparently delena was a ‘shallow’ and ‘superficial’ relationship because they had sex after two years of unrequited feelings slowly becoming requited and then pining for ages on both sides, and because they had a lot of on screen chemistry that the show capitalized on for years so of course they did a lot of making out and shit but it’s not like stelena didn’t have its fair share of making out and sex scenes, stefan was just too much of a coward to let elena top i’d apologize for that joke but i’m really not sorry because it’s true), and when i say it was egged on by the crew, that’s because they refused to let the love triangle die back in season 4 when it should have.

they insisted on stringing stelena fans along, dropping little bread crumbs to keep them invested, like dreams of a future where they were married and revealing that stefan was also a doppelganger and he and elena were descended from a pair of star-crossed lovers (a plot that ultimately went nowhere, to no one’s great surprise), and then fucking like. julie plec turned around and threw nina under the bus after she chose not to extend her contract and pretended that stelena might have happened again if she hadn’t left the show, which....i mean frankly i wouldn’t put it past her, but it would have been shitty writing. then again, she thought having a vampire pregnancy where a uterus was magically transplanted from a witch into a vampire that could somehow......carry the babies to term.... made sense and was a good way to accomodate candice’s RL pregnancy rather than like literally ANYTHING else, soooooo. but anyway julie saying that around like, end of s6 sparked off a new wave of nina hate and elena hate and ship wars bc they SEers took it as ‘confirmation’ that stelena was REALLY meant to be endgame and it was all just a hot fucking mess

another thing is that, while tvd was in its prime before the anti/purity culture shit started picking up any real steam, there was still this pervasive attitude throughout the fandom that if you liked Damon, you were A Bad Person. liking damon was apparently grounds for insults and harassment, and apparently he was The Worst Person on the Show even though literally nothing he does on screen is any worse than shit we know stefan has done (and frankly every other vampire too, but i mention stefan specifically because he was always held up--in the show but especially in the fandom--as the Good Brother while damon was the Bad One, and if you liked damon more then that had to mean your morals were dodgy and you clearly couldn’t appreciate what a heroic and saintly figure dear stefan was and....oops, i’m sorry, my salt keeps leaking -cough-).

meanwhile klaus quickly became a fandom darling despite not even really having much of a redemption arc (on tvd anyway, he just became more ‘affably evil’ as the show went on and more inclined to work with the main characters rather than try to kill them; i have no idea what went on over on his show, though), and like i can 100% appreciate liking villains and not caring that they do dodgy villainous shit, even just liking them bc they’re hot and wanting them to kiss a main character bc they have insanely good chemistry (yes i ship klaroline, no i won’t apologize for it, they could have been Really Great), it’s just really the double standard that gets me.

and all of this, incidentally, required ignoring some truly gross shit stefan was responsible for wrt his relationship with elena, that frankly it has always bothered me never really got addressed in the show. i get why elena herself would never be able to actually call him on it, but the fact is that he stalked her for months after he first saw her and thought she was katherine (meanwhile it only took damon .5 seconds to realize she was someone else entirely, but that’s another topic entirely), and then he deliberately inserted himself into her life because, in his words, ‘i have to know her’. he never gave a thought to how his presence in her life might affect her (or rather, he did, and tormented himself about it in his internal monologue, but never let this actually dissuade him from disrupting her life), and elena would wind up blaming herself for every tragedy that befell her friends and loved ones as a result of getting mixed up in vampire bullshit even though none of it was her fault--she literally blamed herself for existing but most of the fandom didn’t give a fuck about that lmfao--and stefan did shit like find out that she was adopted and then withhold this information from her until she got pissed about another secret he was keeping (her resemblence to katherine) and drop it on her to try and distract her from her very reasonable anger, and like... i should stop before this becomes a whole rant about how much i hate stefan fucking salvatore, but the point is, he did a lot of really sketchy shit he never answered for and elena never really took him to task for, and the fandom just kept eating up his insistence that he was the Good Brother and therefore he deserved to have elena, and if she didn’t want him anymore it was because she was a heinous bitch who didn’t deserve him.

uh.....i think i got off track there. and there’s probably a lot of shit i missed, like i think i was incandescent with rage for most of seasons 5 and 6 so i missed a lot of the interfandom shit cause i was too busy being increasingly pissed off at the show itself, but if nothing else this should give you an idea of how much of a goddamn cesspit the fandom was while the show as in its prime. there’s a reason both the show and the fandom have such a lousy reputation lmfao.

Where to start with Sailor Moon?

From time to time I’ve seen people ask about how to get into Sailor Moon or how they might introduce it to someone else.

As such I’ve made this to (hopefully) help people out.

Introduction

So first of all you should know that the official name for the over all franchise is ‘Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon’. This can (and has) been translated a few ways, but the current official name is ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon’. Basically everything connected with Sailor Moon carries this full official name, but for the purposes of this post I’m just going to shorten things to ‘Sailor Moon’.

Moving on, there are in fact different versions of the Sailor Moon story, even putting aside the various attempts at translating the story into different languages. Each version is best viewed as its own entity, sort of how there have been various versions of Sherlock Holmes that exist independently of one another.

For the sake of simplicity, I’m going to mostly keep this post to the original Japanese iterations of Sailor Moon, albeit from the point of view of an English speaking audience member.*

The main versions of the Sailor Moon story are as follows:

1) The Manga

The manga iteration of Sailor Moon began around late 1991/early 1992. It includes around 50 chapters, a handful of side stories and a prequel manga of sorts called Codename: Sailor-V. There have been several different English translations of this material over the years. However, my personal recommendation would be to experience the story through the ‘Eternal Editions’. These are easily available in print and digitally. As of this writing Codename: Sailor-V is scheduled to be collected in at some point in 2021, thus collecting all the manga stories.

2) The 1992 anime

This is the most famous iteration of Sailor Moon and loosely adapts the manga to the point where it is its own entity. It spans 200 episodes across five seasons, with each season being given its own subtitle. E.g. season 2 is referred to as ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon R’. Additionally there were a handful of shorts and specials connected with the anime and three films. I have already compiled a watch list for the show that I hope will help you navigate everything.

Like the manga, there have been multiple efforts to subtitle the show into English, particular among fan subbing circles. However, the easiest way to watch the show with English subs is to do so via a streaming service (last I checked it was available on Hulu and Crunchyroll) or to purchase the DVDs and Blu-rays from Viz Media, although you can also purchase them digitally on Amazon.com too.

3) The musicals

On and off since 1993 there have been stage musicals produced for Sailor Moon. If you ever see the term ‘Sera Myu’ being used by fans (or even official sources) understand that it’s shorthand for these musicals.

The musicals are based chiefly upon the manga and the original anime, although with some original embellishments here and there. The degree to which a musical cuts closer to the manga, or the anime or does something all its own varies from one production to another. I’m not very well read up on the musicals I must admit, but it is to my understanding that each production exists independently from one another beyond at times carrying over cast and staff members. In essence there is no particular order you need to watch the musicals in. However, if you want more info on the musicals see the below EDIT, which is more well informed than I am.

To my knowledge, (which is limited in this particular case) all the musicals have been filmed but there has never been any kind of official English release for them. There have however been fan subbed efforts made for all of them.

4) The 2003 live action TV show

In fan circles this show is referred to as ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon’ or ‘Pretty Guardian’ or ‘PGSM’. This is because it was the first piece of Sailor Moon media to bear that particular English translation of ‘Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon’. Basically if you see ‘Pretty Guardian’ or ‘PGSM’, understand it is referencing this show.

The show exclusively adapts the ‘Dark Kingdom’ storyline, the first storyline in every version of Sailor Moon. The show was made in a similar vein to shows like Kamen Rider or Super Sentai and the latter’s American adaptation, Power Rangers. However, it also incorporates elements of Japanese soap opera dramas too, original elements that were never in any version of Sailor Moon beforehand and many different spins on the plot points that had been covered before.

To my knowledge, like Sera Myu, no official English release for this show exists, but English fansubs are out there somewhere. If you manage to find the show then you should watch the various episodes and specials in their original broadcast order. For this Wikipedia is your friend.

5) Sailor Moon Crystal

Sporadically since 2014 a new Sailor Moon anime has been in production. This new anime cuts much closer to the original manga (although it still makes some changes ) than any other version of Sailor Moon. As of this writing, the show has yet to be completed and still has material from the manga left to adapt. The show is available to watch with English subtitles from the same sources as the original 1992 anime, including DVDs and Blu-Rays from Viz Media.

Like the original anime, Crystal’s story arcs and seasons have gone under different names. The first two seasons/arcs are officially just called ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’, whilst the third is explicitly titled ‘Sailor Moon Crystal Season III’. In place of a fourth season two films, Sailor Moon: Eternal Part 1 and Part 2, were produced. As of this writing, the Eternal films have yet to have any kind of English release. To make your life easier, watch this show in the order of the original air/release dates. Just remember the Eternal films are to be viewed after Season III.

Which version should you start with?

Whilst that is how the franchise breaks down, it is not the order a Sailor Moon newbie should try experiencing it in.

My personal recommendation would be to begin with the original 1992 anime and then move on to any of the other versions from there. This is because the original anime is aimed at a younger audience and was incredibly influential on basically every other version of the story.

However, if 200 episodes or more is too intimidating for you, then simply check out the manga. It’s far shorter, skewed a bit older and tells a concise and complete story.

And if you are still apprehensive then I’d highly recommend watching the first Sailor Moon film, Sailor Moon R The Movie. This is a very good film unto itself but it is a microcosm of the characters and themes that define the franchise as a whole. If you dislike this Sailor Moon just isn’t for you.

P.S. If you are simply dead set against subtitles then you should know the original 1992 anime and Crystal have in fact been dubbed into English by Viz Media. In fact, the first four seasons of the original anime, along with the first three films, have two English dubs, variously produced by DiC, Cloverway and Pioneer. These dubs were made in the 1990s and early 2000s and are currently not legally available anywhere.

*Things get more complicated when we consider that even in Japan there have been updated and altered versions of the Sailor Moon manga, anime, etc. We aren’t going to worry about that in this post though. They exist and maybe someday you might be inclined to check them out, but you know...baby steps...

EDIT #1: The following information comes from https://euribear.tumblr.com/

Just something I want to add on about the Sailor Moon Musicals.

If you see a musical with the word Kaiteiban (revision) at the end of the name, that means it’s a revised version of the previous musical. Things added or taken away, different cast members at times, etc.

Also, there are three musicals (technically four) that have a continuous storyline. Starring Miyuki Kanbe as Sailor Moon, Last Dracul, Transylvania no Mori (and its Kaiteiban), and Death Vulcan should be viewed in order.

The Bandai era of musicals were from 1993 to 2005.

The Nelke musicals started in 2014 and there was one each year for five years. One musical for each arc of the manga.

There are also the NogiMyu. These are musicals that solely focus on the Dark Kingdom arc and they star various members of the pop idol group Nogizazaka46.

There were two teams of cast members for the inner senshi for both years, 2018 and 2019. The same story overall, just different actresses.

There was also Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live. My personal favorite, this was a musical performed only a few times. A couple of days in Japan in 2018 and then once in Paris in 2019 and then in Washington D.C. and later in NYC. I got to see this in person on one of the three showings in NYC. A dream come true. Unfortunately, this was never recorded, though they did release an instrumental musical album of the show.

My Review of Flowers of Evil

How did I get into this anime? Because Flowers of Evil is something no one says, “Oh I want to see that, this looks like a masterpiece”! Oh, I was well familiar with the rotoscope nightmare stories from this and hoped to God my randomizer wouldn’t curse me with watching Flowers of Evil. I was however intrigued to learn that there was a yandere in this anime that’s on Yuno Gasai AND Shion Sonozaki levels. But intrigue can only get me so far when you spend 13 episodes watching…

THIS!

No this is not an exaggeration. Everyone has this kind of cringe face throughout the entire anime series. Be afraid children.

So the story is about this guy named Takao Kasuga. He loves to read and he loves the class smarty-pants Nanako Saeki. He doesn’t just love her, he sees her as his muse and his Venus and all that bullshit. But this is an admiration from afar. Pretty sure Saeki doesn’t even know he exists! One day, Kasuga forgets his book in his classroom. And on the ground, he notices a gym bag that belongs to Saeki. Oh come on, he’s not gonna go down the perverted route and steal a girl’s gym…

So he steals Saeki’s gym uniform. And surprise, one person knew what happened. The class loner, Nakamura! She forces Kasuga to form a contract with her. It wasn’t written or anything, just verbal. However, that doesn’t stop Nakamura from forcing Kasuga to do whatever she wants. But does Nakamura really like Kasuga or is she just into torturing this shit-faced pervert?

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: You know, I’m too thrown off by the animation here that it has temporarily paralyzed me from catching voices or even giving a damn. I’m familiar with only two of the cast mates and the rest is literally my first time hearing it. Okay, I have one comment here. I often forget Mariya Ise could do some damn-ass scary characters like Nakamura. And when she does those murderous screams, forget about it! Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

*Kasuga is played by Shinichirou Ueda

*Saeki is played by Yoko Hikasa (known for Bea on Pokemon Journeys, Rias on High School DxD, Mio on K-ON!, Hina on Domestic Girlfriend, Kirigiri on Danganronpa, Frieda on Attack on Titan, and Diana on Little Witch Academia)

*Nakamura is played by Mariya Ise (known for Bonnie on Pokemon XY, Levy on Fairy Tail, Ray on The Promised Neverland, Stocking on Panty & Stocking, Mika on Durarara, Dorothy on Black Clover, and Yuuko on Yuri on Ice)

SHIPPING: Oh please, anime Gods, do not turn this into another School Days fiasco. I find myself praying for this a lot these days. But in this anime’s case, please do not go down that route!

So, it was clear from episode one that Kasuga had a crush on Saeki. But this got very perverted very fast when he stole her gym clothes and that lead to the contract with Nakamura. Now is Nakamura romantically invested in Kasuga or is she just a crazy bitch. Let’s chalk this up to a 50-50 split here.

It wasn’t until the fourth episode where Kasuga and Saeki actually spoke to each other. And one episode later, they go on a date and end up in a relationship. One has to wonder if Kasuga would have one day acted on his own and ask Saeki out. All of this happened because he was being forced by that psychopath Nakamura. She tortured this kid and forced him to do so many unethical things. Stripping him naked and putting Saeki’s uniform on him for one! Who does that? So would Kasuga have done these sporadic actions if Nakamura wasn’t in the picture? After he stole that uniform, anything is possible. Now here’s the crazy shit here, Saeki loves Kasuga and she doesn’t care that he stole her gym uniform and did fuck-knows-what with it. She’s mad that Kasuga hid it, but still loves him.

Girl, the fuck is wrong with you?! You must be some special kind of crazy!

By the end of this series, you do see a shift in Kasuga and who he wants to chase after. Saeki or Nakamura?! Let’s just say that during a running away scene, Kasuga was going to go home with Saeki until he saw Nakamura and he chases after her. That’s a pretty good sign that Kasuga has switched gears on who he likes. I won’t delve any further than that as the anime only gives us so much and the rest of this love turmoil between these three characters is covered only in the manga. Probably a sign I should read the manga!

LOOOOOONG NO DIALOGUE MOMENTS: Dude, I know you’re trying to set the mood for certain moments, but I think you can dial it back a bit. This complaint isn’t just what happened at the beginning of episode 9; it took forever to get the main gist of this story in the very first episode. I had no idea what the main premise of the story was until the last five minutes of the first episode when Kasuga stole Saeki’s gym uniform.

Now I’m not knocking serious moments where there is no dialogue between characters for a long period of time and we just watch the animation of them walking or doing something. Hell, Neon Genesis Evangelion had famous scenes like that. But the elevator scene didn’t last six fucking minutes. Neither did the scene where Shinji kills Kaowru. In episode 9, we watch Nakamura and Kasuga walking from the school to home and watch the whole walk after destroying the classroom. I guarantee you, you could leave this episode running, fix yourself a bowl of cereal and toast, eat it up, go to the bathroom to have a good yank, then finish it off with watching a Che Guevara documentary…and Nakamura and Kasuga would still be walking home! I’m exaggerating and I don’t care. I feel like being an asshole here.

OH DEAR GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!: Very rarely will I ever look at an opening or ending theme song in literal fear. In fact, the last one to be so morbid was with Attack on Titan’s second season ending. I mean, the imagery alone should tell you that this is full of spoilers and possessed by the devil itself. Now that I think about it, that’s still undefeated. But Flowers of Evil’s ending theme is a close fucking second. Have you heard this thing? It sounds like Bjork singing in Japanese, synthesized, while a cat walks on a keyboard and having a seizure at the same time. Thank God there are no actual visuals for this other than the flower featured on Kasuga’s book. I don’t think we can handle anymore animation from this nightmare fuel.

ENDING: The writing is on the wall!

And the floor, the ceiling…that classroom is just a fucking mess!

Kasuga’s one bad deed led to another and another in a domino effect. And instead of a little devil on his shoulder, he has a classmate that’s a sociopath. Kasuga has guilt about hiding so much from Saeki in this relationship and he wants to tell her everything he did. Nakamura says, “Nah, you’re going to write it all over the classroom and let the whole world know what a piece of shit you are”. Let’s just say Nakamura and Kasuga went overboard and completely destroyed their classroom. Kasuga gets a bit of a lucky break as the other vandalism covered up his name on the chalkboard confession. But two people have caught onto Kasuga’s crime, Saeki and Kasuga’s mother.

Saeki put two and two together when she noticed the ink smearing on the ground resembled the flower art work on Kasuga’s book “Flowers of Evil” and her stolen gym uniform was placed right there. As for Kasuga’s mother, she put two and two together when she heard what happened to his classroom and noticed Kasuga’s behavior and dirty clothes from the night of the crime. Won’t be long before everyone knows what Kasuga did.

What now, shit-face?

Run away with Nakamura to the next town. Yeah, why the fuck not?! Saeki ends up tracking them down and tried to convince them to come back and for Kasuga to be truthful. Saeki wants Kasuga and I almost want to say the same, except hanging around this psycho-bitch for a while has caused him to try to stop Nakamura from leaving. Having Saeki see Kasuga go after Nakamura isn’t really a good look! At this point, it really feels like his love for Saeki was nothing more than lust.

Dude, isn’t there a rule about not messing with crazy…like, don’t stick your dick in crazy?! This dude has got one crazy bitch on psycho-yandere levels and the other that’s about to turn into Kotonoha from School Days in about five seconds. Well, no one left town today as the police were called to look for Saeki because her parents are overprotective types and they take the other kids in.

We get a small time-leap of one month after the night in the police station. Nakamura’s been ignoring Kasuga and Kasuga ends his relationship with Saeki. Dude, stop trying to stick your dick in crazy! Kasuga tries to speak to Nakamura again and it fails. So he visits her at home and meets Nakamura’s father and grandmother. Then, he sneaks into her room and reads her private journal that talks about Kasuga a lot. Dude, you are stepping in uncharted territory! Drop the journal and get the fuck out before Nakamura comes home. So Nakamura comes in her room and finds shit-face reading her journal.

*sighs*

First, I would like to acknowledge that Mariya Ise has one hell of a throat to scream as much as this crazy bitch does. Second, the fuck did I just say, ya dumbass?! Here we get another chase scene between Kasuga and Nakamura. What follows is…I can’t place my thoughts on this. Weird imagery, out of place dialogue, and possible scenes of future stuff to happen! A rape scene involving Saeki, a festival, a hideout, a knife, and fire! Thanks for the cryptic message guys, really appreciate it! Either the anime ran out of money or they’re fucking with the audience. Kasuga says he wants to form a contract with Nakamura and that’s the end!

Hmm, this anime came out in 2013 and it is now 2021. All the buildup and no word on a sequel! We all know that sequel ain’t ever coming. You have a better chance of a continuation to Haruhi Suzumiya than you do with this hunk of shit.

Okay, maybe ‘hunk of shit’ is too mean. This wasn’t a terrible anime. It was weird as fuck, the animation leaves a bad impression, but overall it wasn’t that bad. Now the manga to Flowers of Evil is a favorite to many. Probably because the characters don’t look like a cringey meme and there aren’t so many awkward pauses with no dialogue. Unless there’s a whole volume of Flowers of Evil out there where we just look at pictures of Nakamura and Kasuga walking home where they don’t say a fucking thing! I am not letting that go! Charlie Brown movies didn’t go to that level you guys did!

I was interested with each passing episode to see what Nakamura was going to do next and what she was capable of. I couldn’t make out if she was going to be homicidal or suicidal or just impact psychological warfare on her prey. It was the latter for this series, but I heard of some attempted seppuku going down in the manga. I’d like to think maybe one day a different studio would pick up this series, but I seriously doubt it with the rotten reception this adaptation received. It was said that the director to the anime saw this more as a live-action series than an anime and that’s why we have the rotoscope animation. It wasn’t until 2019 that we got a live-action adaptation to Flowers of Evil. Not sure how people felt about that adaptation, but even I have a feeling that it was much better than the anime. Hell, a Netflix adaptation probably would have turned out a better product. It would be nice for this to get a reboot, different studio, different director, and smash everything that has the word ‘rotoscope’ on it

Yeah, if you can get over watching the animation, give it a watch. Episode one drags, but it picks up the second Nakamura confronts Kasuga.

If you would like to watch Flowers of Evil, Crunchyroll and Hidive have all 13 episodes available for streaming.

Okay, now that I’m finished with that sociopathic nightmare let’s pick another Sentai Filmworks anime.

HELL NO! I am not reviewing, “My Teacher Accidentally Made Me Horny”. That’s what I’m calling it and you should all do the same. NEXT!

Okay…I have no idea what the hell this anime is, but it looks harmless enough.

MO电视电影❍❍❍

最初的电视节目是实验性的，偶发性的广播，只能在距1930年代开始的广播塔很短的范围内观看。电视转播的赛事，例如1936年的德国夏季奥运会，19340年的英国国王乔治六世加冕典礼，以及大卫·萨诺夫（David Sarnoff）在1939

年美国纽约世博会上的著名介绍，都刺激了媒体的发展，但第二次世界大战使这种媒体增长了。直到战争结束后才停止发展。 19440年世界电影节启发了许多美国人购买他们的第一台电视机，然后在1948年，广受欢迎的广播节目《德士古明星剧

院》（Texaco Star Theatre）采取了行动，成为每周一次的电视综艺节目，使主持人米尔顿·伯雷（Milton Berle）赢得了“电视先生”的称号，并证明了这一点。该媒体是一种稳定，现代的娱乐形式，可以吸引广告商。 1951年9

月4日，美国总统哈里·杜鲁门（Harry Truman）在旧金山举行的日本和约会议上的讲话通过美国电话电报公司（AT＆T）的跨大陆电缆和微波无线电中继系统传输到本地市场的广播电台，这是美国首次进行全国直播。

1954年1月1日在美国进行了第一次全国性彩色广播（1954年玫瑰巡回赛）。在随后的十年中，大多数网络广播和几乎所有本地节目都以黑白方式进行。宣布于1965年秋季进行颜色转换，在此期间，所有网络黄金时段节目的一半以上将以彩色广

播。仅仅一年之后，第一个全彩黄金时段就来了。在19402年，白天网络显示中的最后一个保留转换为彩色，从而导致了第一个完全全彩色的网络季节。

❍❍❍格式和流派❍❍❍

另请参阅：流派列表§电影和电视格式和流派

由于可以呈现的格式和种类繁多，因此电视节目比大多数其他形式的媒体更具多样性。表演可以是虚构的（如喜剧和戏剧），也可以是非虚构的（如纪录片，新闻和真人秀）。它可能是话题性的（例如，本地新闻广播和一些为电影制作的电影），也可能是历

史性的（例如，许多纪录片和虚构的MOVIE）。它们可能主要是教学性的或教育性的，或者是情境喜剧和游戏节目中的娱乐性。[需要引证]

戏剧节目通常以一组演员在历史或现代背景下扮演角色为特征。该计划遵循他们的生活和冒险。在1980年代以前，演出（肥皂剧类型的剧集除外）通常保持静止，没有故事情节，并且主要角色和前提变化不大。最后撤消。因此，可以按任何顺序广播情

节。[需要引用]自1980年代以来，许多MOVIE都在情节，角色或两者兼有的过程中进行逐步更改。例如，希尔街布鲁斯（Hill Street Blues）和圣艾尔瑟弗（St. Elsewhere）是美国第一部具有这种戏剧性结构的黄金时段电视电

影[4]，[4]在预定的五个赛季中有一个预定的故事。[需要引用]

据报道，2012年，电视在主要媒体公司的收入中所占的份额已经超过了电影。[5]一些人还注意到某些电视节目质量的提高。 2012年，获得奥斯卡奖的电影导演史蒂芬·索德伯格（Steven Soderbergh）谈到人物和叙事的模棱两可和

复杂性时说：“我认为现在电视上已经看到了这些特质，那些想看具有这种特质的故事的人在看电视。

**~ Watch Free Movies and TV Shows OnlineYou’re in the right place if you’re into love with watching movies.

Movies and TV serials are a fun area where people love to spend their leisure time. Making a visit to the cinema or movie theatre

sometimes seems like a waste f time and money.

In such a scenario, streaming movies online is left as an option as it helps you not only save time and money but also make things

convenient. Imagine life when you get to watch movies at your fingertips and for free.

Watch a movie, drama or a serial. All of it at your comfort.

Along with that, complete information about TV shows is present on the site. That information is based on IMDB rating, director,

release date, duration, synopsis of the episode, and cast.

In short, it is regarded as one of the best websites to watch TV shows as well as movies from different origins.

Film is a work of art in the form of a series of live images that are rotated to produce an illusion of moving images that are

presented as a form of entertainment. The illusion of a series of images produces continuous motion in the form of video. The film is

often referred to as a movie or moving picture. Film is a modern and popular art form created for business and entertainment purposes.

Film making has now become a popular industry throughout the world, where feature films are always awaited by cinemas.

Films are made in two main ways. The first is through shooting and recording techniques through film cameras. This method is done by

photographing images or objects. The second uses traditional animation techniques. This method is done through computer graphic

animation or CGI techniques. Both can also be combined with other techniques and visual effects. Filming usually takes a relatively

long time. It also requires a job desk each, starting from the director, producer, editor, wardrobe, visual effects and others.

Definition and Definition of Film / Movie

While the players who play a role in the film are referred to as actors (men) or actresses (women). There is also the term extras that

are used as supporting characters with few roles in the film. This is different from the main actors who have bigger and more roles.

Being an actor and an actress must be demanded to have good acting talent, which is in accordance with the theme of the film he is

starring in. In certain scenes, the actor’s role can be replaced by a stuntman or a stuntman. The existence of a stuntman is important

to replace the actors doing scenes that are difficult and extreme, which are usually found in action action films.

Films can also be used to convey certain messages from the filmmaker. Some industries also use film to convey and represent their

symbols and culture. Filmmaking is also a form of expression, thoughts, ideas, concepts, feelings and moods of a human being visualized

in film. The film itself is mostly a fiction, although some are based on fact true stories or based on a true story.

There are also documentaries with original and real pictures, or biographical films that tell the story of a character. There are many

other popular genre films, ranging from action films, horror films, comedy films, romantic films, fantasy films, thriller films, drama

films, science fiction films, crime films, documentaries and others.

That’s a little information about the definition of film or movie. The information was quoted from various sources and references. Hope

it can be useful.

>>> TV MOVIE >>>

The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower

starting in the 1930s. Televised events such as the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 19340 coronation of King George VI in the UK,

and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II

put a halt to development until after the war. The 19440 World MOVIE inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then

in 1948, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning host

Milton Berle the name “”Mr Television”” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could

attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on September 4, 1951 when President Harry

Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and

microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets.

The first national color broadcast (the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade) in the US occurred on January 1, 1954. During the following

ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. A color transition was

announced for the fall of 1965, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. The first

all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 19402, the last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color,

resulting in the first completely all-color network season.

>>> Formats and Genres >>>

See also: List of genres § Film and television formats and genres

Television shows are more varied than most other forms of media due to the wide variety of formats and genres that can be presented. A

show may be fictional (as in comedies and dramas), or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, and reality television). It may be

topical (as in the case of a local newscast and some made-for-television films), or historical (as in the case of many documentaries

and fictional MOVIE). They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is the case in situation comedy and game

shows.[citation needed]

A drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their

lives and adventures. Before the 1980s, shows (except for soap opera-type serials) typically remained static without story arcs, and

the main characters and premise changed little.[citation needed] If some change happened to the characters’ lives during the episode,

it was usually undone by the end. Because of this, the episodes could be broadcast in any order.[citation needed] Since the 1980s, many

MOVIE feature progressive change in the plot, the characters, or both. For instance, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of

the first American prime time drama television MOVIE to have this kind of dramatic structure,[4][better source needed] while the later

MOVIE Babylon 5 further exemplifies such structure in that it had a predetermined story running over its intendevd five-season run.

[citvatio””&n needed]

In 2012, it was reported that television was growing into a larger component of major media companies’ revenues than film.[5] Some also

noted the increase in quality of some television programs. In 2012, Academy-Award-winning film director Steven Soderbergh, commenting

on ambiguity and complexity of character and narrative, stated: “”I think those qualities are now being seen on television and that

people who want to see stories that have those kinds of qualities are watching television.
