But we won't talk about Transformers today. It's about nostalgic dramas. A while ago, HXB asked me to watch "Growing Pains" replayed by Education Channel. The SP format videotape is still playing now. It seems that Xinhua News Agency is not the only poor in the TV circle. Watching Mike and Ben drive MM, I suddenly feel that although "Growing Pains" has taught our generation what is humor, what is democracy, what is growing up, and what is death, but purely from a funny point of view, "Growing Pains" "Still not too funny. Too much emphasis is placed on entertaining, while naturally emphasising the educational function and ignoring the entertainment function. Looking back, I didn't laugh much when I was a kid, and there weren't many scenes where I actually laughed out loud. Compared with the super-heavy jokes in "Six People" (who remembers Monica shouting SEVEN, SEVEN, SEVEN, SEVEN, SEVEN? My screen was full of rice grains at the time), and now rewatching "Growing Pains", The idea of "how can there be such a clumsy joke" came up. "Growing Pains" is, after all, the most carefree movie I watched, and I found that the more I revisited it, the less happy I became.
Therefore, I will not talk about "Growing Pains" today. It wasn't the best American drama I watched as a kid. Of course, it won't involve the cool car Kit in "Knight Rider", otherwise it won't be finished.
The curtain rises, the drums remember, and the spotlights sizzle—the Great Confused Detective Benjamin is here! Oops, he's answering the phone... I don't know if everyone born in the 1980s has any memory of this show. Anyway, I always remember the theme song of "Confused Detective". I watched the first ten episodes of the first season on Tudou a while ago. That's called a pioneer!
I think that it was around 1995 (when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, and the scientific name was the preparatory class for junior high school), and it was broadcast on some TV stations. The time was 4:30 pm every Sunday. I don't know if it is accurate, but I do know. I vividly remember that in the era of extremely stressful schoolwork exams, "Confused Detective" was the most anticipated ray of light in my dark life! I endure every week just to be able to sit in front of the TV for 25 minutes, to see what else the sullen 86 can do to save the world, and to see if the beautiful 99 can confirm the relationship with the 86 this time. , to see why the most intelligent terrorists are always defeated by a seemingly stupid person, and enjoy the thrill of "rarely confused".
In the history of film and television, there have been countless stupid people. Some are fools who think they are smart. See all the villains who were turned over by the protagonist Xianyu because of too much nonsense. There are also fools who think they are stupid. See the story of Uncle Forrest Gump, People use the phrase "wisdom is stupid" to comfort them to go on living; there is another type of smart people who think they are stupid. They don't know that ignorance is a blessing, but they enjoy the love of God: they are not stupid, although they appear stupid. Remedy. Benjamin is such a person.
Benjamin, whose original English name was "Max Smart" (ironically, I think it should be translated as "Full Smart", the uncle who translated it at that time may have taken the sound similar to "Jamin" and "Smart"), and his occupation is in Worked as an agent in a top-secret agency called "Control", code-named 86 (I venture to guess that the source of the number is the result of an intelligence test, if that's the case, then Benjamin is after all as smart as his current boss, George W. Bush). In addition, there is a beautiful, gentle, lovely, honest, brave, decisive, and virtuous. Unfortunately, the only disadvantage is the same stupid female agent as No. 86. No one can be lucky enough to know her name, we can only call her It's number 99.
OK, No. 86, No. 99, plus a director, plus a mysterious villain group, a wonderful "intelligence" drama kicked off! What's really fun is how stupid 86 is when he thinks he's smart, and how smart he is when he thinks he's stupid.
These few scenes are still fresh in my memory whether I rewatch them or not:
Shoe phone number 86. This is the first gimmick in the whole play. The narrator proudly introduced that he is the best intelligence officer, and it is impossible to reveal his identity as long as he hides in the crowd. At this time, the phone number 86, which was hidden in the crowd, rang and escaped from the crowd in full view.
Anti-eavesdropping talk cover. When No. 86 and the director want to discuss any case involving classified information, No. 86 will suggest using this cover to cover the two of them so that outsiders cannot hear them, but this cover is so spoofed that the people inside can't hear each other clearly. Have to rely on people outside to spread the word. After seeing this kind of invention, do you know who is the originator of so many spoof props in Zhou Xingchi's domestic 007?
Chief's phone. In one episode, the director was kidnapped by terrorists. On the 86th, he and his colleagues discussed countermeasures in the director's office. Suddenly the phone on the director's desk rang, but the phone was locked and there was no key to answer it. No. 86 was in no hurry, took out a key to open a door in the cabinet, took out a password from the door, opened another safe according to the password, took out another key from it, and used this one again. The key opened a secret door on the wall, took out a wooden box from the secret door, opened the wooden box, took out a hammer, smashed the lock on the phone with the hammer, and then answered the phone... an
inflatable windbreaker. Watchers, don't get excited when you see the word "inflatable". After the suit is inflated, there will be two artificial artificial hands. When the enemy captures you and ties your artificial hands, your real hands can be hidden...
a phone all over your body. Originally, I thought that No. 86 had only a leather shoe phone, but once he was in charge of calling a colleague to track the suspect, only to find out that his belt, tie, wallet, watch, and sunglasses were all telephones... He dialed one, then another, and finally the whole body Taking off less and less clothes and making 5 or 6 calls at the same time is driving me crazy...
a setting ring. This ring contains a potion that numbs people's nerves. As long as you shake hands with someone, the other party will be immobilized for 30 seconds. No. 86 used it to complete the task perfectly, commended him in the bureau, and a row of leaders gave him awards and shook hands one by one. As a result, No. 86 forgot to take off the ring, and all the leaders of the row were fixed. No. 86 didn't realize the problem until he shook hands with No. 99. Seeing that everyone was locked, he decided to kiss No. 99 secretly. One kiss was not enough, and he kissed again.
Unlucky colleagues. Except for the beloved No. 99, all the colleagues of No. 86 are absolutely unlucky, either dead or injured. There is a special agent who seems to be called No. 44. Whenever he sees him, he hides in places where he can't hide for surveillance...I sympathize with him the most...
86's cold joke. When the undercover agent was discovered, No. 86 bragged to the terrorists: You are now surrounded by 100 cops! If the other party didn't believe it, No. 86 asked in a tentative tone: Do you believe the 50?
There are too many jokes, most of which are ridiculing the 007-style NB agents and the Bourne-style serious agents to the bottom of the sky, which is very revolutionary now. What postmodern deconstruction, it all started on the 86th, after all, the 86th is a drama from the 1960s! ! !
Finally, I revealed an exclusive discovery: because I was so happy to review "Confused Detective", it set off a new climax of my nostalgia, and suddenly I wanted to watch a similar nostalgic animation "Detective Gaget", which is also a silly blessing. As a result, I watched the original English version on Tudou.com, and when I heard the dubbing of Gadget, it was very familiar, and the results proved my intuition: the dubbing of Gadget was Don Adams, who played No. 86! ! !
Finally, I heard that the movie version of "Confused Detective" will be released, which is highly anticipated! I heard that the "Confused Detective" company (seems to be Paramount?) didn't plan to release its DVD at that time. As a result, 1 million fans spontaneously signed the book online to request the release of the disc. It seems that "Confused Detective" is old, but it is still classic enough. Ah.
Last but not least, congratulations to my Lord God to get a driver's license successfully!
