Trying to remember the name of an early 90's tv show?
Megas XLR?
When did TV start to run 24 hours?
I am doing a story about someone in the early 90s with cable, and I want to know when channels like, NBC, CBS, Disney channel, ABC family and Fox started to run 24 hours? I know MTV ran 24 hours, but what about the other channels? The person in my story lives in NYC and is sort of wealthy.
A talk show/ game show from the early 90's?
A friend and I were reunited the other day and we were talking about things we did as kids. And she said we used to play a talk show called Shoosha (not sure about the spelling) After she said that, I remembered, but don't exactly remember who Shoosha was. She said it was a game show host or something that wore bright red lipstick and always kissed everyone. Has anyone ever heard of this or know where i can find out more about it?
Help Naming TV Series About A world ruled by kids, no adults. Early 90's !?
Hello TV fans. Back in the early 90's, maybe between 94 and 97, I Saw a TV series that I believe was non-american based, possibly Canadian, Australian or british in origin. The SHow is about Children who form a society where no adults exist. The kids live in a desolate version of the city where the show is supposed to be set. I think the premice is like this. The Kids run away from the normal world becasue they hate adult rules and Judgement, so the kids, I guess wish to live free and end up in this Kid Society. The kids city seems to be centered around their old school where the ruling kids live and rule from. All the kids are given jobs so they can survive and be part of the society, some of them even have magical powers. The show centers around one kid, a boy who comes to exist in the kid world, who makes friends with some of the local outcasts, a girl with magic and a boy I believe. Im basing this decription off a vague memory of a show I watched probably over 15 yrs ago. The series holds a strong resemblence to the show The Odyssey, same peroid during the 90's and was done in Canada, but a quick seek through the episodes convinced me it wasnt the show im looking for. It also resemblesthe show The Tribe, but that one is too new. I dont recall exactly what channel i had watched it on, but it was early 90's so probably UPN, CBS, PBS maybe detroit television since they showed some Canadian broadcasting. It may have been a series or MiniSeries or even a movie, I dont recall. Synopsis: Kids live in a society ruled by kids, there are no adults but the kids perform adult tasks. There are kids with magic abilities. The city centers around the kids school. the city is an almost dystopian version of the normal city. Main character is a boy. Kids run away from their real lives to this possibly imaginary world. Help is greatly appreciated, Thank You
How long does a movie typically stay in theaters?
There's no "typical" answer - films stay in theatres as long as they're still making money.If you look at any Box Office chart (Here's an example: Weekend Box Office) you'll see lots of films in their first week or two, to films that have run for more than a year (Educational 3D IMAX films for science centers often have very long runs since they cycle between locations regularly, and don't have the same pressure of new films coming out every week).It's also different based on time period and location (for example more contemporary smash hits like "Titanic" or "Avatar" both ran for ~40ish weeks. But back in the early 90s runs of >70 weeks for smashes like "Jurassic Park" were more common because there were fewer theatre screens overall, and much less home video, so even though fewer people were seeing movies overall they ran for longer periods of time).I think "Jurassic World" was the highest grossing film to open and complete it's theatrical run in 2015, at 23 weeks - so that would probably be a good high water mark for a modern big budget tent-pole film - but there's lots of smaller indie films that run for longer periods on fewer screens ("The Lady in the Van" at the same time ran for 27 weeks, but for all but 9 weeks of that was playing on less than 100 screens). It's also notable that home video windows are much shorter now so that it's common that films will be wildly available on other platforms within 20 weeks of theatrical release - which usually dramatically affects theatrical demand.On the other end of the spectrum there's absolutely movies that don't even finish their first full week - because their opening weekend was so bad, the screens got flipped over to better performing titles.I do find it interesting that in North America, length of box office run isn't nearly as prestigious as it is in some other countries. I noticed when I was shooting a film in France that many theatres there made a much bigger deal of how many weeks their films had been holding - some had the number of weeks listed on the marquee, and one was even advertising to get people to come see a film so they could keep it running another week and set a record for longest film run at that venue.(Edited 2018 - updated with final box office information from 2015)
