My other thought with Cox was when he loses 3 patients in a day along with the episode where they're all wearing "Welcome Back Coxer!" shirts.

The look on Cox's face later when he wears the shirt is just brilliant!

(I was actually thinking about the losing 3 patients episode when I mentioned JD saving him...it has been too long since I watched)
 
Framing Brittney. This is a "documentary" about Britney Spears' rise and conservatorship. I only knew about it because of the SNL skit but I guess it's gone viral.

Every single person involved with the possible exception of Kevin Federline is horrible. I have no sympathy for anybody. The whole thing is an (unintentional) ghastly indictment of celebrity culture and its parasites, right down to the people who made this TV show. Which were... The New York Times. My god, just take the Grey Lady out back and put a bullet in her brain.

Allen vs. Farrow.

It's sad to watch this and know that Allen was a very disturbed sick individual. I consider him one of the greatest Film Directors ever but along with that comes a man that should not have been around children. The sad thing is he was not interested in children at all when he met Farrow. But, he fell for Farrow and Farrow had a lot of kids and eventually he succumbed to some sort of evil inside him.

Documentary is very well done. Part Two is next week. I have no idea how many parts there are but what was talked about so far is enough to make you ill.

I thought I read somewhere that there are four parts to it.

I agree that the documentary is very well done. I've never been a big fan of Woody Allen movies, but that's probably because his comedy just doesn't fit in with my particular sense of humor. Obviously he is regarded by many film critics as extraordinarily talented. But I've read reviews of this series who have said that once you watch it, it's going to be very hard to ever give Allen or his movies the time of day again.

The Muppet Show has been added to Disney+.

It’s still dang funny.

I saw a headline where they removed 4 episodes from their library entirely, and another group of them have content warnings preceding them. I guess I don't remember all that many episodes from when I was a kid, but I don't recall anything nasty enough to warrant complete removal from the library.

Then again, I still disagree with Disney on removing the Michael Jackson episode from the Simpsons catalog they run.

I guess I am glad I got to watch them before I understood all of this crap. *sigh* just incredibly sad.

I don’t think there’s anything too objectionable in them, it may well be problems with music rights.
 
The episodes will be restored once the hemlines change again.

These phases come and go. This is another Hayes Code, except for good intentions this time. It will pass. The children of Gen Z will have their own weird sh-t to worry about. Like "how could they keep pets?!" or "old movies where they show showers trigger me for wasting water!"

The evolution of every social horrible:

1. What sin? (Lack of awareness)
2. Holy f-ck, we were bad once. Snicker. (Birth of awareness) <-- this is probably the only time we are well-adjusted
3. It's unacceptable to show that! (Hyperawareness)
4. That was a long time ago. It's like they are Martians. (Banishment to "history")

We are now in:

Phase 1 with vocal fry.
Phase 2 with poverty porn.
Phase 3 with racism.
Phase 4 with sexism.

I willing to bet my bottom dollar it’s music rights. It’s a common story in all media rereleases today.

There's a reason that it took decades for China Beach to make it to DVD, and it's still not available for streaming services. The music in that show as great Vietnam War era stuff, but the original contracts were rather limited in scope.
 
Most of the issue with muppets is music rights yes. I believe there is one episode where a host ended up being convicted of having child pornography or something along those lines so they pulled that one for that reason.

I'm assuming you mean after the fact and not as a plot to the episode, right?

Yes, after the fact. A staff writer, Chris Langham, stepped in to host after Richard Pryor dropped out at the last minute. Langham was found guilty of possessing child pornography in 2007.

There is a Cheers Halloween episode where Gary as part of the prank wars rigs everything in the bar to play "Monster Mash". When it came to video and DVD (and streaming later on) they didn't have the rights to the song so it changed to something else. Completely ruined the joke.

Trying to watch this...but, it's in Spanish, and I can't change it for some reason. Nothing else on HBO Max is doing this.
 
Man, I'm really enjoying HBO's The Investigation.

Spoiler:
If you dismember your victim, cut off her head, stick it in a bag, weigh the bag down, drop it in the Baltic Sea, and the cops figure out how to find it, that is some serious police work there.
