#that 50s show

[that70sshowgoldencouple]

We've gotten a sequel, but what do you think about a prequel? I think I'd like to see young Red woo Kitty, what were they like? How did they communicate during the war? Did he have her photo by his bed. My head canon is set up like Young Sheldon/How I met your mother with Kitty and Red sitting with an album and telling their story to the grandkids and then flashback and they narrate things.

Hi @crimsinsky thank you so much for the ask!

I've seen more people talking about this since the sequel and I once did a poll on instagram between what people wanted to see more a Pre Series Red and Kitty show or a Sequel with them as Grandparents and it was a close tie. And this was before That '90s Show was an idea shared with us.

Honestly, I don't think I'd be too on board with the idea. I'd much rather see more of Red and Kitty as grandparents. For several reasons:

It would be hard to find actors for young Red and Kitty, Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith play them so well, as great as the actors were in the flashback scene where they meet I much more preferred the Halloween ep where DJR and KS are made up to look as their younger characters.

Plus I love seeing Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith working together again.

Pre-Series Red and Kitty are not the same Red and Kitty we know. It's been talked about before Red was very different from the Red we see in T7S. I can already hear people making comments about how Young Red is not how Red really is. Of course he's not. He's not yet a father and hasn't gone through his time in the war. Also we'd never hear him call anyone a dumbass since he didn't discover the word till after he and Kitty are married.

I talk more about it here when I was asked a similar question a few months back and my feelings about a prequel really haven't changed that much. It's funny that you mention How I Met Your Mother because I had the same idea in this post . It's something I *might* get on board with but I'd much rather see Red and Kitty as grandparents telling them stories about quick their relationship like we saw in That '70s Show.

Or maybe they could do an episode in That '90s Show like in Everybody Loves Raymond where Frank and Marie are telling a story and as they narrate a flashback scene is done with Ray and Debra in the roles of Frank and Marie only this time it's be maybe Leia and Jay in the roles of Young Red and Kitty. That could be fun, I love that ELR episode.

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??

As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue

the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD

He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.

like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...

The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"

and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it

does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING

like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow

For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat

Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation

Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with

Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)

But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time

Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell

Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch

idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room

Marilyn Monroe behind the scenes of the “Jack Benny Show”, September, 1953.

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

why aren't there more mysteries that take place in nursing homes & retirement communities. i want to watch a group of deranged retirees-cum-amateur-detectives combine their powers of:

decades of life experience

boredom-fueled busybody shamelessness

access to the most gossipy next-door-neighbors in existence

"I am too old to be arrested and/or give a shit" attitude

and solve crimes. this should be an enormous subgenre.

You know, it's genuinely sad to me that aging favourite character actors no longer have any fun murder-mystery tv shows to guest-star as murders on.

I love you shows with 50+ episodes, I love you shows with filler episodes, I love you shows that aired over 5 years+, I love you shows that weren't unexpectedly cancelled after one season because they didn't reach an unattainable goal, I love you prestreaming shows
