Blergh April 3, 2019 Share April 3, 2019 (edited) Ironically, the performers playing NAZIs in Hogan's Heroes actually had more firsthand experience re having to start their lives over in a new country and even in doing heroics than the one who played the titular leading performer! Yes, I imagine they weren't entirely happy playing NAZIs though they may have taken comfort in being able to ape and belittle those who had oppressed them. Then again, they may have taken the attitude the iconic Hattie McDaniel had re playing housekeepers 'I'd rather make $700 a week playing a maid than $7 a week being a maid! (in 1930's currency)' I mean, the variety of roles besides NAZIs for performers with thick German accents was not that extensive in Hollywood even as late as the 1960s!

Wiendish Fitch April 19, 2019 Share April 19, 2019 (edited) I'm a few months late (early?), but I've been thinking a lot about this awesome moment from one of my favorite versions of A Christmas Carol, the 1984 TV movie starring George C. Scott (one of the greatest Scrooges, even if he doesn't even attempt a British accent). We all know and love to hate Scrooge's infamous "[the poor] better die and decrease the surplus population" line. Well, it spectacularly comes back to bite him in the ass when he and the Ghost of Christmas Present are observing Bob Cratchitt's family dinner, and Scrooge asks about Tiny Tim's fate. Scrooge: Tell me, Spirit... Will he live? Ghost of Christmas Present: I see an empty place at this table. I see a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, the child will die. Ebenezer Scrooge: No. Say he'll be spared. Ghost of Christmas Present: If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, none other of my species will find him here. But if he is to die, then let him die...! "AND DECREASE THE SURPLUS POPULATION!" Ebenezer Scrooge: You use my own words against me? Now, this is a famous exchange that is present in most adaptations, but in this version, they take it a step further. The Ghost of Christmas Present (brilliantly played by the late, great Edward Woodward), seamlessly drops his avuncular, Santa Claus-like persona, gets in Scrooge's face, and snarls out this verbal killing blow: Ghost of Christmas Present: Yes! So perhaps, in the future, you will hold your tongue until you have discovered where the surplus population is, and WHO it is. It may well be that, in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than MILLIONS like this poor man's child!* Not only is Woodward's delivery cutting and perfect, but this line feels more relevant than ever. *Note: this line is actually in the book, just phrased slightly differently. Don't know why they don't include it in more adaptations.

BW Manilowe July 19, 2019 Share July 19, 2019 (edited) From Hawaii Five-0 (2010 Reboot): In Episode 205, Maʻemaʻe (Clean), Kono has been set up as a participant in a then-still unsolved theft from the HPD’s Asset Forfeiture Locker (for which her fellow cop/Five-0 member/cousin, Chin Ho Kelly is also under suspicion as a participant). She’s also been kicked off of both the HPD & the Five-0 Task Force because of her alleged participation in this theft. But this turns out to be a cover as Kono, unbeknownst to Five-0 Boss Lt. Cmdr. Steve McGarrett, has been “creatively & secretly acquired” by HPD Internal Affairs cop Lieutenant Vince Fryer to help him infiltrate (now that she’s dirty too) & bust a gang of dirty cops (with a threat that if Kono chooses not to participate, Fryer will go after the entire Five-0 task force). During the episode, when an action Kono takes against the dirty cops backfires, the remainder of Five-0 becomes aware of Kono’s participation in the undercover op & forces themselves on Fryer, Kono, & their undercover team, in order to assure Kono’s safety in the resolution of the op. Once the op is ended with most, if not all, of the dirty cops being apprehended &/or killed, there’s this really “HELL, YEAH!” scene between McGarrett & Fryer: McGarrett: Hey, Fryer? Fryer: Yeah? McGarrett: Listen (McGarrett punches Fryer in the face). McGarrett: Nobody messes with my team, all right? Fryer: (Licks the blood off his lip) Duly noted, Commander.

Our heroine Adora is duking it out with her evil former friend Catra (who has literally caused the apocalypse). Catra is doing the insufferable villain thing of smugly accusing the hero of being responsible for everything that's gone wrong in the villain's life (um, Adora didn't cause the apocalypse, bitch), and is seriously handing Adora's ass to her. Adora, who has been betrayed, backstabbed, hurt, captured, and sabotaged by this treacherous monster, who has consistently tried to forgive Catra and give her another chance, finally-FINALLY- snaps and delivers this awesome kiss-off: Catra: You broke the world and it is all your fault. Adora: No, it's not. I didn't make you pull the switch. I didn't make you do anything. I didn't break the world! But I am going to fix it! And you? You made your choice.

I love how he's in complete control throughout, from setting the terms of his death to the way he tricks the Chancellor into staying in the room with him to the way he openly taunts him, knowing people are watching at home (I especially love how he turns the "You're cheating the audience! You're not facing the camera!" taunt back on the Chancellor). And then to top it all off, he manages to get the Chancellor to crumble simply by biding his time reading from his Bible as he patiently awaits what's coming.

I know I'm giving away my age but before Don Adams voiced Inspector Gadget, the iconic comic Scatman Crothers voiced Hong Kong Phooey . The latter also was supposedly a renowned martial arts master crime fighter but, in reality was a dog in a kimono and eye mask who constantly flubbed things up while eating up kudos for his alleged heroism . However, unknown to the rest of the world (or himself), it was his striped cat sidekick named Spot who saved the day! Alas, Spot could only mumble gibberish and the ONE time he DID openly vent over Phooey having blown things (when he locked the keys inside the car and they wound up having to PUSH his car down the highway the entire trek home from their vacation), he could only mumble. So, at least Penny WAS able to exactly tell Gadget off even if he never realized how much in his debt he truly WAS to her.

He rushes off to the Gadgetmobile only to be attacked by Dr. Claw, who already has kidnapped the professor...and for once Gadget recognizes Dr. Claw's car, figures out what is going on and goes after him on a high speed car chase, and might have caught him if the MAD mobile hadn't turned into a jet and took off in the air. I mean, even though he failed, it was kind of amazing to see Gadget be a competent and badass detective for once without any intervention from Penny and Brain. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-5855932

There were other things in that episode were problematic through today's lens, but I really appreciate that one moment being written in. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6189828

DollEyes August 17, 2020 Author Share August 17, 2020 From "Sundown," the first episode of Lovecraft Country, the HBO sci-fi period piece set in the 1950s with a predominantly Black cast, the scenes when the protagonist Atticus, his Uncle George and Atticus' friend Leti were "rescued" from racist cops by vampire-like mole creatures, when Leti ran from one of them without slowing down or looking back like she was Usain Bolt. Best of all was the scene earlier in the episode when before they escaped from another group of racists, Uncle George called Leti -who just rescued them-"girl" and she clapped back with "My name's not 'girl'; it's Leticia fucking Lewis." You go, girl! 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6291745
Spartan Girl September 11, 2020 Share September 11, 2020 In loving memory of Diana Rigg, the only moment of Game of Thrones I can fondly remember without any bitterness was Olenna revealing to Jaimie that she poisoned Joffrey right after she drunk the poison he gave her when she was sure she was safe from a slow torturous death. One last moment to rub it in their faces how stupid they are. "Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me." 16 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6340133

While I don't share the bitterness about 99% of GOT (but don't get me started on how Jaime dies) - I can absolutely agree that this was a glorious moment. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6340437
Jediknight September 19, 2020 Share September 19, 2020 Rewatching Friday Night Lights again, because why the hell not, and there's a moment I've gotta mention. Landry kicking the field goal to give East Dillon the win over Dillon, and keeping Dillon out of the playoffs. Coach Taylor was shoved out of Dillon and they redrew the district lines which cast out Landry, leading both of them to East Dillon. Like Coach said, it was the wrong move for Dillon to listen to Joe McCoy, and Joe had to watch as East Dillon beat Dillon and his damn son. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6355950
Spartan Girl October 10, 2020 Share October 10, 2020 Doug: Doug throws an "adult" party at his house, which his parents almost ruin by treating it like a kiddie party. Roger tries to "fix" it by sucking Doug and the others to a game of Truth or Dare, which ends with him daring Doug to steal Connie's hat and expose her botched haircut. Doug ultimately refuses to do it, so Roger does it. A humilated and enraged Connie screams, "WHY DON'T YOU GROW UP, YOU BIG BABY!" and socks him right in the stomach. That was so great. Roger had it coming to him for a very long time. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6393795
magicdog October 28, 2020 Share October 28, 2020 I just caught one today: I was watching the "Family Law" two parter, "Liars Club" on START and really got engrossed. I didn't see much of this show when it first aired, but it's entertaining enough. In these episodes, one of the law partners of the firm is trying to help a former client (who was a drug dealer but is trying to turn over a new leaf and go to college), but the client is being pressured by a federal attorney to be an informant and give up info about a Columbian drug lord. His attorney fights to stop it, even though the fed keeps putting the screws on the kid and threatening to put him away in prison on drug charges. After a bunch of legal issues, the kid is thinking about going along with the fed so he can be left alone and is compelled to wear a wire to entrap his attorney. When a bit of advice is taken out of context, the fed arrests the lawyer and has him put in jail. When the lawyer's partners take up his case to get him out, the fed insists the money they were paid with was from illicit sources so he gets the judge to freeze all their assets (business and personal) and they're all expected to live on air for the next 6 months until trial resumes to sort it out. The fed obviously hopes this will break them and nearly does. The lawyers don't even have money to pay for groceries! The firm goes to another judge claiming that there is another legal loophole they can use to stop the fed by having HIS assets frozen and his car impounded. Unfortunately, the judge's clerk contacts the fed and tells him what's about to go down so that gets squashed. At last, the group meets in an emergency session with the judge and they reveal the fed gave up his immunity to prosecution by getting the info from the clerk instead of traditional means, so the firm initiate an injunction and tie HIS assets up for the next several months while getting their assets freed. Suddenly the fed is upset since he had a kid in school and needs food, etc. I cheered!!! I loved it when that uppity fed got his just desserts!! The firm agreed to call it off when the fed agreed to leave the kid alone to go on with his life. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6423003

Spartan Girl December 18, 2020 Share December 18, 2020 The season 2 finale of The Mandolorian: LUKE SKYWALKER TO THE RESCUE! Taking out all the Darktroopers was just as awesome as that Vader scene in Rogue One albeit in a different way. I’ll forgive the awkward deaging of Mark Hamill. Plus, R2 and Grogu! Squeee! 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31889-hell-yeah-tv-moments/page/3/#findComment-6506358
