lol or how about 2 friends go after one guy and in the end the guy finds someone really popular and forgets about them
also a person has to watch a friends pet but the pet ends up dead or so they think so they try to replace it but it ends up making a noise in the end and everything turns out fine or the pet is really dead and their is just one little differemce b/w the original pet and the new one and the friend notices

lol or worse they try get married and head to the alter some kind shocking ending and they dont get married at all or show gets cancelled.

or if someone leaves a show certain charactor and nobody ever says anything totally vanishes.

Rene
08-01-2005, 02:51 AM
or when all the sudden a characther goes from kind of dull to either incredibly dumb, funny or sarcastic- and the plots get more outrageous

MikeLutton
08-01-2005, 03:15 AM
or vise versa they become nobodys til the star of the show and suddenley take it over like steve Urkel did and JJ n Good times.or this is great.

when someone plays their charactor from another show and come appear on another 1 or as a differnt charactor and someone makes refense to their other show.

this is fun lol.

How about the fact that theres almost never any kind of weather, other than snow which invariably happens to fall at Xmas JUST in time to make everyone forget their holiday depressions...but never falls any other day of the year?! :lol:

Rene
08-01-2005, 03:19 AM
lol yea this is kinda fun- well anywho like when an actor comes on from a /new old show theyll always say "you look like...." or "you know who you remind me of..?" and if the lead actor on the show is really famous they always have to have them play themselves and the main charac. has to say that they dont look alike or whatever..its kind of hard to explain but do you know what i mean?

Rene

How about the fact that theres almost never any kind of weather, other than snow which invariably happens to fall at Xmas JUST in time to make everyone forget their holiday depressions...but never falls any other day of the year?! :lol:

Rene
08-01-2005, 03:39 AM
lol its a christmas miracle!!!!!!!!

also on shows where the 2 main charactars arent bf/gf and they go on a trip together theres always one room left in the motel so they have to sleep in one bed and they always have to argue about who sleeps where

MikeLutton
08-01-2005, 03:50 AM
lol i sure remember those or someone anniversary and the B-f or husband forgets buy the lady a present and spends his last dollor or some saved money.and gets tries hide it from her til the occasion comes along.

Rene
08-01-2005, 03:54 AM

MikeLutton
08-01-2005, 04:10 AM

or one of the main charactors having a wild party and then the main charactor wakes up in bed with one of the co stars and they try hide it from their G\f.

but they always find out somehow or another.


or parents have big huge fight and say they getting a divorce and we have wait til part 2 to find out what happens.

Rene
08-01-2005, 04:16 AM
yea or when 2 main characters in a show that work together that were dating break up and then they arent friends afterwards for an episode but like theyre best friends again the ep after that

MikeLutton
08-01-2005, 04:39 AM
yeah or they find out they dating some woman and quit beign friends then before show is over they back being friends again or the other charactor finds out something happend to the other 1.like they in hospital or something

and they feel quilty and go visit his friend in hospital and forget what they are fighting about.

MikeLutton
08-01-2005, 05:04 AM
or who could forget when the 2 main charactors who are enemies get locked in a room together and keep fighting and then become sudden friends at the end.it didnt make sense at times

Mikado
08-01-2005, 01:35 PM
yup!!! :lol:

Mikado
08-01-2005, 01:38 PM
oh heres another....An old buddy that the lead character hasnt seen for 20 years comes to visit and it comes out that he had a short affair with the lead characters wife, before they got married ...in the end, they all stay friends though....Like THAT would happen !!! :rolleyes:

MikeLutton
08-01-2005, 04:10 PM
yeah i know what u mean if that happend in real life well there wont be any talking to friendly conversations it be a huge big war.lol.

and husband and wife are fighting about something the guy leaves her and sometime later he comes back and she forgives him after heavy forgiving.

tv so un realistic.

or the Bfs ex G\f comes back and announces she is having his baby or had his child and he tries to decide what to do.

Rene
08-01-2005, 06:47 PM
or the Bfs ex G\f comes back and announces she is having his baby or had his child and he tries to decide what to do.

or when one of the kids come home they either wreck the family car or drive it right in2 the house which is kind of funny lol

Rene
08-01-2005, 07:23 PM

MikeLutton
08-01-2005, 07:30 PM

I hate the stuck in the elevator episodes. There's usually a pregnant woman conveniently about to go into labor.

Also the "serious" episodes bothered me. Just about every 80's show had a drug episode.

I also do not like flashback episodes.

MikeLutton
08-05-2005, 01:48 PM
yeah stunk in elevator episodes gets kind of old at times and flashbacks are ok.but what about the charactor hits his or her head all sudden cant remember nothing.

and they try help her get her memory back that has been done to death.


or dual role episodes person plays 2 people at once.

whuchutalkinbout
08-05-2005, 03:11 PM
OMG yes..the person playing 2 roles. That's why Family Matters annoyed me. They did that to death.

MikeLutton
08-05-2005, 09:32 PM
and how the kid gets in trouble at school and the parent has to go see what went wrong and ends up dating the damm princapel or teacher.

food fight episodes got littel 2 old and childish


or the Ex G\f comes and holds her ex hostage at his house and he tries to get help.

or the parent mother about have another baby and one of kids feels left out and runs away from home.

Rene
08-05-2005, 09:36 PM
how about the very special episode where one of the friends of the main characters gets shot or the young female character gets a bra

MikeLutton
08-05-2005, 09:41 PM
the first girl gets a bra doesnt even sound like a special episode more like a regular bor 1.now kid gets shot or parent gets Killed off in car accident been done to death

or one of the kids gets really sick ends up in hospital and ends up being 2 parters with flashbacks

Rene
08-05-2005, 09:51 PM

08-08-2005, 03:50 PM

MikeLutton
08-09-2005, 05:49 PM
that so lame and i also hate when tv sitcomes have to much soap opera added to them i mean that is soppose to stay out of sitcomes .and be saved for hour long shows.

like 1 kid gets some drugs r something leaves it at neighbors house and the parents find it and their own kid gets blamed.

or the 1 kid afraid go have their tounsels taken care of and they do this play to show them it be all right n stuff

Mikado
08-09-2005, 07:02 PM
How about when the daughter goes out on her first date, and the father instantly dislikes the boyand asks him a bunch of really rude questions,,,the daughter leaves with the boy, all mad at her parents, who, while the daughter is gone, talk about it and decide the boy isnt so bad; THEn, the girl comes home to find her parents liked the boy more than she does, they invite him back and she says she never wants to see him again :D

MikeLutton
08-09-2005, 07:11 PM
