For some reason the word "cookie" made me think of Boston Common. Hmm, I don't remember it having anything to do with cookies. I watched the show, probably because there was nothing else on. It wasn't good, though.
Then of course, I thought of Boston Legal. Far, far superior to the comedy above. Sadly, there are very few clips. Most are from The Practice. But this is one of the best.
And Boston Public, another very good show, but I don't remember much of it now.
Anybody remember Space Rangers? For the longest time I had no idea what it was called and found it by AOLing (yup, before Google) for some combination of "TV show," "sci-fi," and "early '90s." I didn't know who was in it. All I remembered was this face...
I eventually found it. Then I forgot but never cared enough to look it up again. Years later, when Rescue Me started, there he was: Jack McGee. After getting his name, a quick IMDb search later and I find out it lasted six episodes in 1993, only four of which were shown in the US. And last night I watched an episode of Hawaii Five-0 from a week ago. McGee guest starred in it, so I thought about Space Rangers once more. I don't know why it always stuck with me. Or maybe I do. I think it was because of the half "tin man" missing his heart.
Thoughts while watching:
Oh, Hans Zimmer, you score everything. :)
What the everloving fuck?! Is that...? No, it can't be. Quick search on Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Eureka). Oh, holy crap, it is her! Did she age at all in 19 years?
Why did I watch this? Probably a combination of sci-fi love plus boredom (ie. not enough channels to choose from in '93) and the entertainment decisions of a young teen. Though, I don't remember thinking it was anything that was remotely good. At the same time I watched Babylon 5, Quantum Leap, and Star Trek: Deep Space 9, and I knew they were far, far superior in every way.
Until the series ends, I'll always be behind adding to this playlist. I had to stop for quite a while, so there's a big gap. Still, there are 170 songs to enjoy.
This is the essence of The Blacklist. Probably my favorite is Disturbed's cover of "Sound of Silence." The scene it played over was one of the most devastating ever in the series.
