I used to think, "Maybe a Xena reboot would be good!" but then I listened to Javier Grillo-Marxuach talk about the Xena reboot they were trying to get made and holy shit...
I do honestly wonder what older TV shows structured around being episodic/syndicated would look like nowadays where every show is more-or-less about a seasonal arc.
I have a theory supported by nothing that we're gonna see episodic come back big in five or ten years
I'm replying to myself so I can call myself a fuckin' dumbass
"supported by nothing"? CSI was rebooted a week ago, Nash Bridges was rebooted today. Episodic's already coming back, and I'm like, "Ooooh, I've got this spoooooooky feeling about something"

Ominous.

I would very much like to see more shows that are somewhat in between. I'm sure I've complained about this about a million times but I don't really think anyone knows how to pace a TV season when it's all just one long story.

I think everyone will always watch some episodic content, everyone likes overarching content, but there is also something nice about sitting down and watching tv for half an hour and getting a complete story.

Sliders had both! In one episode you find a dimension where magic is real and Dracula exists and never spoken of again!
Scripted shows are fine, but what if we bring back the Carmen Sandiego game show?
I want to say I read something a while back that did the math and found that some of those final map challenges were physically impossible for a kid to complete within the time limit even if they instantly knew where to take each post.
I was just watching a video about it the other day and never thought before about how doing a geography show during the breakup of the USSR was such a pain in the ass. They put the date the show was recorded over the credits and had a disclaimer about how the information was accurate on the day it was filmed. Apparently on one episode they had to remake the final map the night before airing.

That final geography test was fucking brutal. Watching the kids just self immolate when they didn't get it right on the first one or two attempts was heartbreaking.
Just sounds like Carmen Sandiego pulled off the perfect heist to me, is all
Actually I think I just realized that National Treasure is just a Carmen Sandiego movie from the VILE Henchman's point of view.
Was Harvey Keitel's character working for ACME? He was trying to track down an elusive thief who stole the Declaration of Independence and was traveling around famous US landmarks.

How come none of those kids could put together that fucking monkey statue? It's not that hard! The bottom piece had a pole, the top piece was a head, align the hole on the middle piece so the pole went into the hole, jam the head on top! Gah it infuriated me as a kid!

everything is 10x harder when you're doing it on camera vs watching it at home

No, the bottom! But the bottom on first, what's wrong with you? Put the bottom on the pole, fuck!
HBOMax has a new docuseries out, Exterminate All the Brutes. It is an examination of white supremacy and colonization, and how America was built by, with, and for them.
I was already interested in it, but it uses as one of its foundational texts An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States, by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. That book is fucking incredible, and tends to be my go-to recommendation for, "You want a broad overview of Indigenous history in America? Read this." Any documentary that's using that book as part of its bedrock is gonna be pretty fuckin' good.
So if you want a docuseries about how America cannot be separated from its original sins of genocide and slavery, if you want something that refuses to let America's past be sanitized or recast, it seems like a pretty fuckin' good choice.
Yes please. But like, move the pieces around a bit. Have it be a brilliant scientist who discovers Sliding tech, and she takes her favorite student who grabs his best friend and then they accidentally grab like a 90's Emo band leader or something.

God I used to rush dinner so I could catch Early Edition at 7 on WGN when I was a kid. Just rushing up the stairs to see what kinda mess Gary was getting into.
Gary Hobson was my original everyman hero growing up. He always, always tried so fucking hard.

Is Aubrey Plaza too old to play the young emo girl yet?
Or you know what, just make Sliders but in the Parks and Rec universe

You just rebooted an episodic post
except Kevin Sorbo would probably be in it and I try not to think of him existing
Nah, he's way too old to play muscle hunk anymore. Gotta be someone new. Who's still pretty unknown and muscled on TV right now?

it has some great moments and good episodes, but yeah it's such a quick, drastic change from the previous 2 seasons that it feels off

They also loved dropping references to the 90s cartoon and the game show.
