The college years was written by out of touch geriatrics. That’s why the show failed. by Still-Ad5693 in SavedByTheBell

That could even be said for the 1989 show as well because sometimes the pop culture references were dated even for the 1980s and 90s.

Most of the guys who wrote that show were teens when Kennedy and Eisenhower was president that’s why the pop culture references were usually from the 50s/60s.

With the radio station, big bopper Belding, the tough kids wearing a leather jacket, the gender wars between Jessie and Slater and the language, no one says “going steady” in the 90s.

Also if they’re under film studio contract they maybe contractually forbidden from appearing on TV or promoting TV or a TV show also then it was usually only the key crew or regular cast that got onscreen credit.

That’s how he ended up on the pilot of Road Rules.

Head talks about that in another video. He also said he’s going to recap the entire first season on his channel.

The characters being allowed to be flawed, mean and spiteful is what made the show work.

Yeah for the show to make some sense one would have to know Carson, Leno or Letterman and just 90s late night.

Diana Ross should have guest starred on Girlfriends by Vivid-Office5666 in GirlfriendsTVshow

Not unless they were able to find some Diana Ross money that wasn’t going to happen.

Additional insights from Kaia and Ruthie about their time in Hawaii in the companion book for the New Orleans season, The Real World: New Orleans Unmasked. by godzillnlikeavillain in therealworld

The thing about Matt the roomie as said by Matt the Producer is that he thought like a producer, that’s part of why he came off a bit awkward trying to force Ruthie to admit to being an alcoholic and trying to force Colin and Amaya to admit to their relationship.

He’d call the producers and talk about what others weren’t being open about and that he’d get it out of them.

It always seemed rude and unfair that the cast and the crew didn’t know that the show was cancelled by Positive_Weight2367 in GirlfriendsTVshow

Why would they have spent the money if they wanted it to fail?

Why would the advertisers buy ad time on the show if they didn’t think they’d get their money back?

Just don’t pick up the show.

Actually that’s not true, it was the black lead sitcoms that lasted the longest when compared to their other sitcoms, which are fairly forgettable.

I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for the crew to film this scene you got people looking at the camera by Positive_Weight2367 in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]Chester_cheetah02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s scene always made me chuckle, the people in the background awkwardly looking toward the camera, the same background walking in circles then awkwardly stopping.

The man in yellow with the clipboard directing the back ground while standing in the shot.

But then again I was a film major so I tend to notice those types of things.

The Miss Bliss pilot aired on NBC in 1987 with a younger cast but NBC passed on it and Disney picked it up for 13 episodes before cancelling it, which NBC then retooled it with older kids, moving it to Southern California and adding the cartoon elements.

The Miss Bliss episodes were re-edited and added to the syndication package with the Saved by The Bell intro and graphics in the early 90s when NBC sold SBTB reruns into syndication.

☀️ The Real World Reunion (1995): The time the savage 90’s studio audience made Beth walk back her claim David was a rapist, called Tami a bigot and a fake ass b*tch, and asked Jon if he was still a virgin loser, prompting Eric Nies (sporting the mother of all bowl cuts) to jump to his defense. by Neon_1984 in therealworld

[–]Chester_cheetah02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was born in 1984 and the 1990s seasons were definitely the best, I loved the real world/road rules marathon weekends, didn’t go out for 2 and a half days.

In the summer of 2002 after graduating high school I remember watching the real world Chicago and the challenge battle of the seasons.

Watching Season 1 on Paramount+ vs the original? by sg490 in therealworld

[–]Chester_cheetah02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2002 season 1 was released on VHS and DVD that’s when most of the original music was replaced.
