They now itd be 1990, goodbye to the 80s. Well, its horrible, never ends. Were starting to see a lot of experimentation. The simpsons was inspired, not necessarily hatred of television, but a distrust of the ways in which television was talking to us. Tv respects me. It laughs with me. Not at me. I think the sitcoms of the 80s. I love you guys. Were such a set of warm, safe humor. You see, the kids, they listen to the rap music which gives them the brain damage. And i think there was a real yearning for another type of humor. We were able to spoof fatherhood. What a bad father. Which at the time an i stress at the time, was bill cosby as the shining example. Did you ever know that youre my hero the stuff they got away with because its a cartoon. The father strange lg the child. Why you little we are going to keep on trying to strengthen the american family. We go to a completely bizarre period of time in 1992 1992 when a sitting president is raging against a sitcom. They have dealt with politics. They have dealt with popular culture. Theyve dealt with all kinds of issues of racism, of sexism. Dont ask me, im just a girl. Right on, say it, sister. Its not funny, bart. Millions of girls will grow up thinking this is the right way to act. They have found a way to talk about everything thats going on in our lives through the filter of the simpsons. Them immigrants. They want all the benefits to living in springfield, but they aint bothered to learn themselves the language. Yeah, those are exactly my sentimonies. I think one of the governing things thats happening with the simpsons is a distrust of anyone who tells us we should trust them and doesnt earn that trust. Ill take that statue of justice too. Sold. When they make fun of how fox works you are watching fox. We are watching fox. They are telling you dont trust us either. Eat my shorts. All right. Ill eat eat your shorts . The simpsons is like shakespeare in the fact that we quote the simpsons all the time, very often without knowing it. Excellent i wish i could create something that culturally indelible. Its unlike anything else tv has ever run. Twin peaks showed up out of nowhere at the beginning of the decade. The pilot episode of that was one of the strangest and most exciting things i have ever seen. Im at the twin peaks morgue. With the body of the victim. Whats her name . It was incredible. Just how slowly in the beginning the news spread around this little town that this young, beautiful girl had died and that haunting music was so dark and so beautiful. Ive got good news. The gum you like is going to come back in style. What on earth is essentially a art film doing in prime time television. American Network Television has long been considered the home of the blands, the cautious and the predictable. So it was with some trepidation that it the abc Network Launched a new series that was none of those things. Twin peaks is already described by one critic that will change tv. Its directed by david lynch. David lynch was a filmmaker known for his taste in the eccentric and memorable. The idea that he would do television in the 90s was crazy. Do you watch much of it . I like the idea of television, but im too busy too see very much of it. What do you think of that which you do see . Some of it i really enjoy. Are you being diplomatic . Sort of. [ screaming ] the beautiful thing about television is you have the chance to do a continuing story. And thats the main reason for doing it. I think that twin peaks with the initial attention it got allowed all the other networks to say, lets do something different. What was interesting about northern exposure it was an odd sort of universe that this guy was dropped into. The days coming. It aint going to be long when you aint going to have to leave your living room. No more schools, no more tabernacles. No more cineplexes, all right . Youre going to snuggle up to your fiberoptics and bliss out. At the time, steven was a very successful producer of our dramas. And wanted to try something brand new. Police, we have a warrant for your arrest. And so, his idea was to combine a gritty cop show with a broadway musical. I saw one in which a bunch of gang bangers were in jail and they began to sing, life in the hood aint no pizza pie. Everybody die. When the bullets fly. And i said wait a minute. I thought this is it. This is great. This is going to be as innovative as anything i have ever done. He is guilty, he is guilty, judge, you can see it in his eyes he did the crime and now hes got to pay it circled the drain. I will give credit to anybody who goes outside the box and swings really hard for the fences. I worked real hard and i got my education im creatively proud of it. Still. Im very glad we tried it.

Humira works inside the body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to symptoms.

Im babysitting. Thatll be 50 bucks. You said 30. Yeah, well it was 30 before my fees, like the pizzaordering fee and the dogsitting fee. And the rummage through your closet fee. Who is she, verizon . Are those my heels . Yeah yeah, were the same size. In shoes. With tmobile taxes and fees are already included, so you get four lines of unlimited for just 40 bucks each. The price we say is the price you pay. There was not a whole lot of original programming for cable, but they were airing movies. So, we needed to compete and i felt that if we didnt, we were going to, you know, kind of get swept out. And so i came up with the notion of doing a cop show that was r rated. When abcs broadcast standards read our skipt, they went berserk. I was sitting with a pad and a pencil drawing pictures of breasts showing them what we would and wouldnt show. Grownups in a room doodling. Then we started in on the language. We saw the low life asshole with the brains of a flea and the balls of a moth. It premiered with an advertising boycott. The program premiered with an advertising boycott. Channel 7, shame on you but it was such an immediate hit, that boycott lasted, oh, four weeks. They could use the nudity and the curse words to go deeper into the actual emotional burden of being a cop. Im an and it had this character, andy sipowicz. He is a raging alcoholic, racist, sexist, violent. He created the tv antihero. I know the great African AmericanGeorge Washington carver discovered the peanut. But can you provide names and addresses of these friends . You know, youre a racist scumbag. Despite flaws and prejudices, i think people identified with his pain. I wish there was a way to say this that wouldnt hurt you. Theres a famous episode where they are investigating the rape and murder of a young boy. And they find a homeless child molester who murdered the kid and sipowicz to get the confession has to be very sensitive and very good cop. I know this has to be tearing you up inside. But youre going to feel a lot better if you just tell the truth. You can sort of see on dennis franzs face this is killing him to not destroy this guy right now. Finally, he gets the confession he gets the signed statement. He walks out of the room, he goes into another Interrogation Room and he breaks the door in two with his fist. And im choking up talking about it right now, because thats how great a moment of tv that it is. 20 years from now, the best tv dramas, what do they look like . I dont know. Bolder than what we see today . Oh, assuredly, assuredly they will be. The 90s gave us several shows that didnt explode in the ratings, but were influential to others. Homicide is one of them. Shell me with questions all night im living in a danger zone homicide life on the street was innovative in terms of style. It used music in ways that advanced the narrative and also used feature film directors that brought a look and style to the show that really stood out on television. Tears coming out of your eyes. Aint no tears coming from my eyes. Those eyes are brimming with tears. They had so many African American characters in the cast that on several occasions they were the only people on camera interacting with one another. And that sounds like, so, but as late as the 90s, that wasnt done on television. When a cop shoots somebody, he stands by. He picks up the radio mike and calls it in. He stands by the body. If not, cops are no better than anybody else. In the 90s, television was getting more complicated, stories were starting to become more episodic and characters were starting to develop and change. None of that happened on law and order. This was a show that completely delivered on its formula every time. You get a crime, you got the investigation into the crime. You better be packing more than a dirty mouth. You got an arrest. Whats the charge . Hey, im asking you a question whats the charge . Theres no charge. This ones on us. You had a trial. Hes badgering, your honor. Sit down and shut up. Overruled. You will address the court from now on, mr. Mccoy. Every time you watched you got what you came for. Tell me, doctor.

Over 93 Million People watched the finale of cheers, its a sad experience for everybody. This was our baby for 11 years, and were not going to be around these people every day. You people are as dear to me as my own family. We have been serving fake subs forever. It was time for everybody to sip. I was sipping along with them. Time goes by, so fast. People move in and out of your life. You must never miss an opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you. We had been through so much together, you spend that much time with the same set of people, it does become your family. Feel pretty lucky to have the friends i do. I think the legacy of cheers our need to belong. And i think thats what we as americans are longing for. Good night, you guys. The final scene of cheers was really what was sams real first love . Ux never be unfaithful to your one true love. Im the luckiest son of a bitch on earth. And his real first love was the bar. Sorry, were closed. How big a loss is this for nbc anyway . Well, katie, im still here, and im waiting for the cast members to come back. Id say its a pretty big loss. Out of the sad, sad sorrow and being scared to death that i would very quickly lose my job, i was like what are we going to do . Tv is changing dramatically now with 150 channels that might be available in the near future. There are more choices than ever before, and its a tough job. You have to try and get a sense of what is the audience going to really make an attachment to. In the 90s, cable was coming on strong. So we had to examine who are we going to be . Well, we wanted to be smart, sophisticated comedy. Six months ago, i was living in boston. My wife had left me, which was very painful, then she came back to me, which was excruciating. Well, i thought fraser was dead with cheers. But we thought, we built an audience, Great Potential to build out the character to another place. Frasier was kind of like oneact plays. Mother and i moved here when i was a small boy after the tragic death of my father. I kept the pain of that loss buried deep within me like a serpent coiled within a damp cave. Okay, thats it. We always assumed the audience was smarter than most other people did. And we played to that. Just unschooled like liza doolittle. If she finds the right henry higgins, shell be ready for a ball in no time. Leave it to you to put the pig back. Kelsey grammar played pomposity and got huge laughs. Whats taken so long . But i am analyzing my options unlike your wink and approach i like to plan a strategy, like a general leading his troops into battle. Checkmate, schwarzkopf. I think frasier stands as the single most successful spinoff, at least in the history of comedies. And the emmy goes to frasier. Frasier. Frasier. Thursday nights on nbc, 75 million americans watched thursday night. That was at the time onethird of the country. Oh. What is this stuff . The sweater is san gor ra. Well its wonderful. The machine that was nbc in the 90s for comedy was untouchable. Youre not from around here will you . It generated so much viewership and money and awards. We do not need this. Its the top of our wedding cake. Its not a scambook, its a freezer. No. We associate nbc of the 90s with having extremely successful sitcoms, but they werent the only network that found their way to having some success. Tgif was on abc on friday, and it was their block of familyoriented comedies. I cant take it, i need the cake. Michelle. It was not sophisticated television, but these were shows that people adored. Cbs. Cbs was in a really bad spot. They had just fallen apart over the early part of the 90s, and theyd gone through a couple Different Network executives. [ whistling ] but then suddenly they had this hit with an unknown comic, this was the year of seinfeld, no hugging, no learning. And this was a show made as if it was produced in the era of the Dick Van Dyke show. There was hugging and learning.

New owners spent billions buying networks recently, ge buying nbc, capital cities, abc, and lows brothers buying cbs and all of them want their moneys worth. Well now have the strongest network. Well have a stronger defense piece. This is going to be one dynamite company. Theres a danger that news will be mixed up with the rest of television and considered just another profit. Late 1920s, to early 1930s, to the 1980s, the sense was if some of the broadcasting time took public service, 1990s, journalism in the country changed a great deal. You couldnt talk about public service. What are the ratings going to be . What are the demographics going to be . What is the profit going to be . Well, sensationalism sells. In a plea bargain, 18yearold amy fisher got up to 18 years in prison for shooting the wife of her alleged lover. So intense is the interest in it this case there are three, three made for tv movies now in the works about it. You make money off sex. You make money off death. You make money off crime. The press calls the case the Beverly Hills mansion murders. The story reads like a script that circulate here in hollywood. We enter into the Television News soap opera. Story of basic instincts, anger, and fear. I was scared, and i just wanted him to leave me alone. And broadcast journalism becomes much more shoddy, and then it all comes together with omt o. J. Simpson. Were going to go to a live picture in los angeles. Police believe that omt j. Simpson was in the car. It starts with the chase and goes on to his arrest and culminates with the trial that goes on and on and on and is televised day after day after day. This is going to be a long trial. Theres a lot of evidence to come in. The o. J. Simpson case was such a national phenomenon. That those of us who were covering it just lived this case 24 hours a day because there was so much demand for people talking about it. As simpson struggled to slide the gloves on to his hands and turn to our jurors saying, theyre too small, prosecutors were incensed. The trial was on television during hours that traditionally had been for soap operas. He appears to have pulled the gloves on, counsel. And o. J. Was very much a soap opera. Impeached by his own witness. I ask you to put a stop to it. Excuse me, mr. Bailey. Will you stand up and speak when its your turn. No question that the best tv show of the 90s was the o. J. Simpson trial and everyone on it was riveting. The Simpson Trial finally winding to a close. We the jury in the above entitled action find Orenthal James simpson not guilty of the crime of murder. The verdict of the o. J. Simpson trial viewed by 150 Million People. Its more people than watch president ial election returns. Thats crazy. Because there was trial footage every day, cnn saw its audience increase like five times, the success of cnn was not lost on other people. And so, there were competing forces coming into play. How delighted i am we have now reached this moment when we can firmly announce the starting of a fox news channel. Unfortunately, with cable news and the ability or the need to be on the air 24 7, where you try to get as many eyeballs as possible at one time, to gravitate toward those stories that are sensational, it brought us the ability to go too far. Is the Jonbenet RamseyMurder Investigation turning into a media circus . Its tabloid but on the other hand, its a tabloid era. Heres where the fear comes into it, i think, larry. Its the fear that says, gosh, if we dont cover it big time, our competition is. When they cover it big time, theyll get a big jump in the ratings. The first thing is to last, to survive, weve got to do it. What you also see is a whole army of commentators, people who make their business talking about the news. I say we should bomb his capability of producing oil. Take out his refineries, his stations, his wells. They dont have any capability. Theyre certainly selling a lot of oil the networks were doing Good Journalism but they became much more preoccupied by profits. Its cheaper to have someone in your studio pontificating than to have reporters out in the field reporting. I dont know if any of this is true. But what i heard is that the father went down, opened his basement room, which the fbi had bypassed. Every single sentence on cnn, perhaps, on cnbc, on fox, on msnbc, begins with the words i think but after a while people get confused by what is speculation, by what is innuendo, by what is fact. As far as the viewers are concerned, be very, very careful of unsubstantiated information presented with great hype. I realize that ah, that 100k is not exactly a fortune.

Yeah yeah, were the same size. In shoes. With tmobile taxes and fees are already included, so you get four lines of unlimited for just 40 bucks each. The price we say is the price you pay. In the mid1990s if you look at look at the 50 most watched shows on cable, the top would be nickelodeon, rugrats, blues clues dont you know cartoons will ruin your mind . Ren and stimpy had humor to it. And this was the beginning of the splintering of the Television Audience and the splintering of the family audience, really. I mean, because happy, happy, joy, joy. Three or four tvs in the house, you had a kid watching nickelode nickelodeon, dad watching espn sports, and the mom watching lifetime. You know, they were in their own separate universes watching television. By the time of the 90s, mtv wasnt merely a movie channel. They were having Great Success that incorporated music but shows and programs that stood on their own. That was cool. Certainly beavis and butthead established what mtv could be. Its a show about people making fun of music videos, just like people in the audience were doing. Seen that. Just like all of these bones and stitches moving around. My manager would call me, like hey, you got this big bump because you were on beavis and butthead last night. I sit there just like a donut watching these guys. Now, and i find them entertaining because i know, and you know, and the world knows, these guys are always, will be, and cannot be anything but idiots. Thats right. Mtv has a detrimental, damaging, developmental effect on the sexuality, on the morality, on the spirituality, maybe even the physical development of our young people. Oh, oh, oh. Now we hit the 90s, and once you can go for an audience of five million and have a successful show, you can say, i dont care if the parents dont like this. Can i tell you something, miss ellen . Of course, wendy. Dont [ bleep ] with me. What . You heard me. Stay away from my man, bitch or ill whoop you back to last year. They were two of the funniest people i ever met, and their Success Story is proof that if you just stay true to yourself, you dont have to do anything else. People think, oh, you came and did the show and now youre big sellouts. I truth is we were sellouts to begin with. Perhaps there is no stopping the corporate machine. I mean, we were sleeping at friends houses, had no money, and then one fox executive had seen a cartoon we had made in college and he said, make me another christmas video that i can send out as a christmas card, and you know, he gave us like 700 bucks and we made this five minute short. I come seeking retribution. Hes come to kill you because youre jewish, kyle. It went around the tv Community Like wild fire. I mean, it was the funniest thing youd ever seen in your life. Go. Somebody showed me the short. Go jesus. And i thought it was hysterical, so i called and said, get them in here right away. Oh my god, theyve killed kenny. You bastards. South park was able to be topical old pal sue dam hussein. They detest hypocrites. Christians and republicans and nazis, oh my. Well okay, ill legalize 40th trimester abortions for you.

[ applause ] the early 90s, the hbo shows start to kind of come into their own. Have i always had these breasts . A lot of people want freedom, they dont want to go back to the networks which are saying you could come to us, youll make more money, but youll also have content restrictive, go to cable and have no restrictions. Not as much money, but freedom of expression. Which almost everybody who works in these mediums wants. Some of the content truly was, you cant get this anywhere else. Fantasy maker is the only limit on the kind of fantasies is peoples imagination. Hbo turned to people who had said, i cant do that on television, but you can do it on hbo. White people dont trust black people. Thats why they wont vote for no black president. Like a black brother will [ bleep ] up the white house. Like the grass wont be cut. This is part of cousins running through the white house, in the late 80s hbo was gaining ground for series. By the 90s hbo had started to begin its explosion. When we started doing dream on one of the things hbo said to us was, its got to be something that couldnt be on network tv. Because hbo was driven by isaac hou has mastered gravity defying moves to amaze his audience. Great show. Here you go. Now hes added a new routine. Making depositing a check seem so effortless.

Garry shandling wanted to do a show that deconstructed the kind of show the tonight show was. Pretend like youre talking to me. Were off the air. Okay. Blah, blah, blah, blah. The Larry Sanders show was kind of cathartic because in the world of the show there was a network. You want me to [ bleep ] your budget . That what you want me to do . It became this fun house mirror thing where you could use stuff from your misery, your career as fodder. Dont take this as a threat but i killed a man like you in korea, handtohand. My boy doesnt want to do any more commercials. Larry sanders to me was, aside from being a Brilliant Television show. Can you say, hey now. Hey now. It was my everyday life. Im here for three good reasons. Last show. Big ratings. Movie coming out. Bim, bam, boom. The Larry Sanders show was very unique in that it was very deadpan. And really groundbreaking in its day. I think it made people really go, thats the level of work you may be able to do on a cable network. Please, do not flip around. Come right back. Hey now oh, you sound good. In the 90s you suddenly had shows that were aiming at a younger audience. One of the things that really made 90210 stand out is it was the first drama to get into the teenagers point of view. Do you have protection . Of course. Its always been my problem. Lots of protection but nothing to protect. I wanted to do a tv series that was going to be relevant to teenagers. Its over. But hbo really in my mind comes to its own in 1999 with the sopranos. It just is one of those shows that was benchmark. It changed a lot of things for everybody. Throw out the handbook. Tony so na pra know, the lead actor in a drama, he killed a man. We watched him. He took his daughter on a college tour. Pretty, huh . Yeah. It was just a melding of a guy in a world and a behavior that promoted all of the feelings that you would have for a guy that you love in a guy that you hate. Sopranos came on tv and showed us the future. Hes like a father to me. Just make sure nothing happens to him. That character in that show was a great inspiration to many shows that came after it including one i worked on. I want those kids to have a father. They got one. This one. Me. Tony soprano. You prick. Because of the quality of those shows that happened in the 90s, actors no longer felt it was a come down to work in television. Audiences started to look towards television for what they had only found before in feature film. What did i ever do to you except deliver the south . Dramas became very innovati e innovative. They were making a new mark. Once we started making the kinds of shows that we were making in the 90s, you couldnt shut the door on them. Some of my favorite shows of all time aired in that decade and everybody was watching them. There was still that communal sense from the early decades, but it was being applied to shows that reaching higher and farther and they were great. I think if parents would spend less time of what they were watching on tv and whats going on, this world would be a a much better place. They were relying on it as a sole educator of their kids. Totally, dude. Gooden point, man. Quick, jump through the window. Prosecute clinton said hes pleased with his first year in office, but not a bit happy about how its ending. Let them look into it. White water is not going to go away. The republicans smell blod. The Seismic Shift to the right in the Political Landscape of america tonight. His Reelection Campaign is heating up.
