View Full Version : I hate flashback episodes of previous episodes...Rant! 88survivor 10-28-2007, 09:36 AM A waste of time and such an annoyance. Dean Winchester 10-28-2007, 05:31 PM I agree, I am not a fan of clips shows. I loved the South Park clip show episode though, because it was a parody of clip shows, by airing so early in it's run and also wildly reimagining things that happened on the show Rezny@gmail.com 10-28-2007, 05:38 PM I agree.They are not worth watching(they have a flimsy,weak-sometimes VERY flimsy and weak-- plot,and the episodes that the clips came from,are FAR better).The only worth watching(with a pretty interesting plot)was the "Green Acres" episode "The Man for the Job". Dean Winchester 10-28-2007, 05:44 PM Friends probably had the worst ones... The One With Mac And C.H.E.E.Z. anyone? friendsfan77 10-28-2007, 05:56 PM As for Friends, I didn't care too much for The One With The Vows. As much as I loved Chandler and Monica's relationship, they were better off at the time just rerunning "TOW Everyone Finds Out," that is where a lot of the footage came from on that episode. TOW Where Everyone Finds Out is my favorite episode, but at the same time I didn't need a rehash of it like that. Though I thought the time Bewitched did it was the worst. They basically just replayed the entire episode "A Vision of Sugar Plums" that way. Kristen 10-28-2007, 06:47 PM I don't mind them TOO much, except for one Golden Girls ep. where most of the flashbacks seemed to come from the same episode. I like the times when they showed "new" flashbacks, though, instead of just clips, better. - Kristen catlover79 10-28-2007, 07:26 PM I can think of one instance where it worked well. In the pilot episode of Bewitched, Sam and Darrin go to a dinner party hosted by his ex. The ex is mean and spiteful to Sam. In Season 4, they meet the ex again, who hasn't changed. They actually showed a clip from the pilot, to re-establish Sam's wariness. It especially helped that the clip was in b&w (the first two seasons were), and in Season 4, the show was by then in color. friendsfan77 10-28-2007, 07:28 PM I don't mind them TOO much, except for one Golden Girls ep. where most of the flashbacks seemed to come from the same episode.

And "Three on a Couch" where their contstant bickering lead them to see a therapist. Those kind of flashbacks ruled. comedyfreak 10-28-2007, 07:31 PM I don't mind the flashbacks. |
