Star Trek is going to be really difficult to watch once captain Picard joins Q for the last time.
Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead

“Q, was I a good captain?”
“No”
“…”
“You were the best.”
Then Q turns him into an apple and eats him.

Over 11 seasons, MASH had 11 series regulars. I think five of them are still alive

Alan Alda, Jamie Farr, Mike Farrell and Gary Burghoff are still around and kicking. 🪵✊

Every few years I get someone into B5 and rewatch the series along with them. And every time there’s one or two more cast members gone.

Worth watching.
It gets good. Past the rough tacky start.
G’Kar: If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume that the light on the wall is God. But the light is not the goal of the search; it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it! Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God, is the byproduct of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do! Or we turn to look at our shadow, and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose; which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty…and in all its flaws. And in so doing better understand the world around us.

I watched it a few years back and while watching, Mira Furlan died. Not sure if anyone died since then

Ha! I watched Leave it to Beaver and the guy who played Beaver and the guy who played his brother Wally are still alive and still best of friends!! Never mind just looked it up and Wally passed away a couple of years ago. Damn.

I’ve watched porn and later found out one of the porn stars was dead. 🤷♂️

Yeah, we’ve been watching lots of old movies lately, and now and then, as we’re watching a group scene, I’ll mutter “All those people are dead,” just to get a rise out of everyone else in the room.

For me it always serves as a reminder that our time is short

Also, movies from the 90s that feature animals (eg, Homeward Bound), I’m pretty sure the animals are all dead now

You know things have gone to shit when dead old actors performing on the most basic stage set are better than living actors on a multi million dollar production with CGI and special effects.

I’ve watched Casablanca so that was sort of a given going into it.

No I exclusively watch media where the actors are still alive, I don’t want to see ghosts.
Same goes for voice actors, I don’t want to hear no ghost either.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
It’s sounding like you are afraid of some ghosts. I think I have someone for you to call.

Do you research everything you watch beforehand? That's a very interesting and restricting filter for yourself.
Mind blowing realization - any media you watch, even live stream, is from a past that's gone by the time you see it.
The next level is - how real is anything that you perceive? "What is... real?" - Morpheus
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
I’m pretty sure they’re joking. If they were serious, there would be some very recent things they can’t watch. Rob Reiner is on recent episodes of The Bear. Malcom Jamal Warner was on an episode of Murder In A Small Town that premiered after he died.

What's the oldest show with living actors in the main cast that's still in reruns? The Dick Van Dyke Show maybe?
Makeitstop@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Have to make a few assumptions to make this workable. Im assuming we’re only allowing things that were made as a TV series, so not counting specials or anything that jumped from another medium like radio or theatrical releases. And we’re only including fiction, so news and the like wouldn’t count. And we only include things that have ended and only count the original run of a series.
With all those caveats, my best guess is I Love Lucy. Started in 1951 and the actor that played their kid is still alive, though he didn’t join the cast until 1955.
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Probably

Well yeah, watching Kolchak The Night Stalker lately, aired around 1975 and looking up some of the actors…they've mostly passed away.

Why not use a picture from a show where the actors are all actually dead?

The Golden Girls are all dead now and that show isn’t really that old

I mean, it was a show about old retired women to start with…

Hate to nitpick but the characters weren’t retired, three of them had jobs

It’s kind of insane how many people had to fuck just for you to exist. Like just thousands of humans stretching through our vast history … Nutting.
