just checked out of curiosity, s6e3 is a clip show, and s9e11 is a musical clip show

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I just (re)watched S9 E11 ("All Singing, All Dancing") last night, and it's fine but if I wasn't watching during dinner I'd have skipped the episode.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I know it's a clip episode, but it's probably my favorite clip episode. Snake's horrible singing, specifically the "Ooo ooo ooo" before the act break always sticks with me. The "Ough oouu uuuah".

[–] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

That’s when you turn on the dvd commentary track

The idea of doing a clip show only 6 seasons in is diabolical.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 35 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

In the '70s/'80s, one clip show per season was pretty common.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, and nobody liked it. It was just there to save the show some money.

Cartoonists, too, need vacations

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

You could hire enough of them so they can get their vacation.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

I guess it made more sense back when people didn’t catch every episode. Still glad it’s not the norm these days.

That's why we all love Community. In "Paradigms of Human Memory" (Season 2, Episode 21) it was super expensive because all the clips were new. It was a great episode in general too.

They also burned up a lot of great premises. But ya know what, that clip show was great. "It's all terrain, dummy."

Rick and Morty (also Harmon) did the same with the Mindblowers (or whatever it was called) episode. Also great.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

Interdimensional cable episodes were the original R&M clip shows but i think it got stale for Harmon so they did the mindblowers on the newer season

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Clerks the TV show did it for their 1st episode.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's the second episode but your point stands.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

And it's an incredible bit.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Stargate did one in the first season.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

The first clip show episode is actually season 4 episode 18, but the framing for the clips is so good that the episode is worth watching.

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Stargate SG1 had a clip show most seasons

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

But I forgave them because I knew they needed to save that money for the finales

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

I've watched nearly episode in the first 20 seasons of The Simpsons three times or more but I have always skipped those episodes
