Good series

Imagine if they had CGI back in those days.

You mean CG not Computer Graphics Interface. And we did. I was there at Silicon Graphics as our computers were used for the first Jurassic Park movie.

No I mean what I said.

mark_j So you meant to say, "Imagine if they had Computer Graphics Interface back in those days?" instead of "Imagine if they had Computer Graphics back in those days?". (Ignoring the possibility of Common Gateway Interface for servers.)

Ok because it seems hard for you to get past this:
Computer-Generated Imagery . You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery

And, why would I be referencing a web interface when talking about a TV show from the '70s. Let's not be obtuse, hey?

That's it for me, I don't have anything else to contribute.

mark_j I worked for Silicon Graphics and Pixar (John Lasseter hired me). I worked with Winnie the Pooh and Transformers people. I've worked in television and on the web with digital artists. So in the computer graphics arena for about 30 years and this is the first time I have ever seen CGI standing for "computer-generated imagery".

Kids these days.

They appear to be used interchangeably back then. Here's an interview discussing the CG/CGI in Babylon 5 (which was made on Amigas) dating back to 1994.

These days, I like anime. My wife and I are not getting too close right now--I had covid, was hospitalized (but I was fortunate, it wasn't horrible, didn't need a ventilator) so she's trying to avoid catching it) but one of things is watching Detective Conan (Case Closed in English I think).
There's too many to list, at one point I watched far too much TV,

So,
Detective Conan
Hajime no Ippo
Gintama
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Taxi

Sigh out of that list, only Detective Conan is still playing.
