Have you all noticed that shows that last more than a few years have a drastic look from their first episodes to their latter? Even as drastic as using entirely different sets or - for me- the lighting. typically for sitcoms the first seasons tend to be "low lit" compared to latter episodes.




sorry i been watching tv all day- getting over the flu

Yeah, I'm always like "I use to watch this show!?" when I go back and watch a beloved tv series from the begining, whether they're replaying it on tv or i buy the series on dvd.

my sister was watching the golden girls.....fuck it- I WAS WATCHING THE GOLDEN GIRLS with my sister so what?!


anyway. sofia looked dead the first few episodes. the make up the had on her was horrible.

nott o mention the gay guy they had living with them for no reason

Everybody needs a gay live in chef. It's the American way.

The first few episodes of Seinfelfd look dim and depressing. Kramer was also more creepy rather than being a hipster dufus.

First season of Red Dwarf it looks like everything was just ordinary everyday things painted grey to look sci-fi and gritty army issue like beer cans painted grey, cardboard boxes painted grey

The pilot episode of Living Single was shot at the same studio they shot Family Matters.

So, the `1st episode, all the girls lived in a house.

2nd Episode on, they magically live in a Brownstone in Brooklyn.

I know they do that with the majority of sitcoms.

Look at the "house" in the 1st episode of the Cosby Show. It's completely different from what it looked like in every other episode.

Then of course, there's that famous line where Cliff asks Clair "Why do we have four children"? and she replys, "Because we didn't want five".

Then all of a sudden, Sondra pops up.

I know they added her, because Bill Cosby later on wanted to have an older daughter in college.

The Huxtables had 4 girls in a boy, just like Bill and Camille did in real life.

The pilot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer looks for the most part like it was shot in the dark.

N by watching this who would have thought.

yeah who would have thought. Friends is is one of my favorite shows. but i find the first season and a half barely watchable.

i dont know i wonder why they let some shows pass and other shows die after a few episodes. i know it comes down to ratings but im pretty sure some shows need a couple seasons to get it together

Yes, the first episode of House looks like crap.

Have you seen the original Star Trek pilot "the Cage"? No Captain Kirk!

it had Captain Pike (who I have been told is in the "Star Trek" movie) and Spock but no Kirk.

The Simpsons kinda looked like crap compared to later seasons...

The first season of "A Different World" was the worst. Corny jokes, lame lines and boring ass Lisa Bonet. It's a wonder the show wasn't cancelled. I cringe the first season, after she left and Debbie Allen took over as producer, that's when the show got a whole new makeover for the better.

yeah....its a little crude.... but to be honest with you id rater take it how it looked in 1990-1991 then now...now it looks too...i dont know...why does it look so different?

the crudeness of how it use to look enhanced the edginess

yeah luckly lisa bonet was fine cuz otherwise that first season would not get nan glance from me

I see what you mean. And you're right. The Simpsons were edgier back then. I only have the first two seasons. Over the last 20 years technology has advanced so much that there is no excuse for it to look like it first did. Wow..I'm still tripping on 20 years!
