Yeah, I wasn't a huge viewer of Goodnight Sweetheart but it seemed to me one of the points of the show is the consequences of naive fantasy - "wouldn't it be fun if you could [do this thing]?"
Yeah but if you carry on then this happens, and this, and that's not so innocent then...

...and I'm evidently running through new trainers within a few months.
Why am I doing this again?

Me pressing "reply" and then remembering there was a Beverley Hills Cop sequel-on-streaming last year(?)

Yeah - even broader than that I think everything has to be a tentpole IP factory now, so we might see a reboot/remake Beverley Hills Cop, Midnight Run, Starsky & Hutch, Lethal Weapon rather than a *new thing* - or, being low-to-mid-budget they'll go to streaming.

I just watched Freebie And The Bean (1974) last night, which is generally considered to have kicked off the Buddy Cop Action Comedy genre - its, ah, very of its time in both good and bad ways. But its interesting how what I'd think of as cornerstone genre is 1) fairly recent, and 2) mostly gone

Outlaws co-stars Richard Roundtree, which is always a good thing. The entire season is here. They don't make 'em like this anymore!

Wait what? That's mental! Yet pure 80s "throw it against the wall and see if it sticks"concept.
Nice cast though - Rod Taylor! - and would've been nice to see rent-a-heavy character actors Charles Napier and William Lucking in lead roles.

Also, are they in fatigues? Shouldn't they be in dress uniform? A boombox not a band?
This almost seems like a protest...

I liked it, its just amazing to me - like Frankenstein - how little of the original material is actually part of "the myth" as we know it...

This is how I feel whenever there's a "celebrity" edition of some TV show - I don't know sportspeople, I don't know DJs, I don't know reality show celebs, I don't know internet celebs. Basically anyone under 40 I won't know.

No you fool! He was in PRESS GANG (and recently popped up in ANDOR)

Jesus Christ... I'm pretty sure we saw that.
Thankfully at 9yo or whatever it was my own eventual death was pretty much a distant abstract concept, but now that makes me want to flee the room screaming

Warning: what you think of as the "Jekyll & Hyde story"is just the last chapter. It's a weird one.

Since I stopped reading tabloids I've never heard the word "romp".
