I don't know. It seems there were 672 episodes of the show produced. It wouldn't surprise if Skelton was in close to 2000. This is on top of a radio career that started about a decade before and continued for about five years after he started on TV.

4!! Try 1

Orphan Black lost me near the end but I was sticking with it out of a sense of loyalty, not because I was still invested. I think a different pace or cutting it down by a season would have helped.

Obligatory Game of Thrones.

I also wanna saw SVU. Honestly it's such a disaster right now. It doesn't feel like it used to, even 4 seasons ago. It's the Benson show and the writing/characters are soulless.

Survivor isn't what it is used to be either and them sticking to the shortened season/number of days really suuuuuucks. So yeah, I think it's going off the rails.

Part of me wants to say The Good Place because like Orphan Black, I think it got jumbled and too side-tracked along the way. Like the finale but it just didn't hold the charm it once did.

It really is a shame it couldn't have been paced differently. I love the ending but it needed a few more episodes to breathe. We meet Ford and bam it's all over.

Denzel Washington, George Washington, Howie Mandel, Ed begley Jr, Mr Feeney, and Mark Harmon work in a hospital where weird shit happens

Still trying to recover from the razor blade scene.

I've heard showrunners say "we have 5 seasons planned" about various shows and half the time it isn't true

Not saying that's the case for The Boys but it's a weirdly common thing they say. Not sure why

Iirc, the time frames are roughly the same, 2500ish.

That's what makes the ending so bizarre - it was a fairly standard hospital show.

That's a fun Easter egg. Since they both are about societies that began on earth, there's no real reason why they couldn't exist simultaneously, albeit far across the galaxy from each other

Damn right- my wife and I have matching home symbol tattoos lol

'Stargate' at the very top, just as it should be. Next to 'Heroes', but still, right there at the top.

DS9 had the benefit of a separate showrunner and writers IIRC, but yes, the TNG crew were essentially trying to double-up handling both TNG and Generations at the same time.

That said though, the writers have also talked about how after seven seasons they were basically running out of plotlines, finding it increasingly difficult to come up with something that they either hadn't already done, or it had been decided previously that they weren't going to do.

Battlestar Galactica and Firefly have an interesting link- in an early CGI scene you can see a Firefly class ship. R2D2 is in there too.

All I know about St Elsewhere is this scene and not much else. I really have no idea what it's about.

Simply one of tv's biggest mindf**ck or/ f**k you by the writers.

I never seen it, but I heard about it. I wonder how people felt about when it first aired. Must have been some angry and/or confused people.

I'd say the two best I know are Star Trek Discovery's "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" and Agents of SHIELD's "As I Have Always Been."

Unlike so many other shows doing this trope, neither of them wastes the viewer's time walking you through the same events slowly getting you into the idea. They know the viewer isn't stupid, and they trust that you're going to follow along, allowing them to dive right into the plot. They also take great advantage of NOT showing every single loop, allowing them to move the plot forward faster and make the most out of the episode's length.

“Van Down By the River,” hands down.

I love how the "Law & Order Universe" has its own section.

But even aside from the "omg fan theory it was all in his mind" stuff, it really is insane how this has been able to be mapped out. Cory in the House is connected to Better Call Saul

Did you listen to the Rooster Teeth podcast to get the idea to look for this?

Here is some crazy shit on this topic.
