I once saw Will Smith. He was filming I am Legend. They had emptied out Fifth Ave. It was on a Sunday. I had to be at work at noon. I came out of the subway on the other side of the street and waited for Smith to be off the Avenue before I crossed. Apparently I was too fast and I heard a man going bonkers, it was the director. When I watched the film I looked to see if somehow they left me in. They didn't.
Well that was high noon on Fifth Ave. In college I was in the King Kong film that starred Jeff Bridges. In a crowd scene. They filmed that in the financial district at about 2 a.m. My wife was in a Ghostbusters 2 ( I think) crowd scene filmed late in the afternoon.
My niece recently binge watched the original Fresh Prince. I didn't watch it all with her, but caught a few episodes. The politics in it were interesting. Uncle Phil had grown up in the south and made a name for himself as a big time attorney. He was poked fun of for being a Republican, but at the same time was taking pro bono work and fighting for racial equality in local politics. At the same time he was ashamed of his poor southern upbringing.
I probably should have made clear that there ARE good guys in Bel-Air, including Will. The whole "pulling a gun" thing was done out of desperation to save his friend's life. Also Breaking Bad has good guys. Walt certainly was in the early seasons, and Hank was throughout.
Yeah, I would definitely recommend Breaking Bad. I honestly believe it to be one of the greatest television series ever made. When the series starts, Walt is a good guy in a very dire situation, who desperately wants to provide for his family in the short time he has left (and beyond). As the series goes on, as I'm sure you know, his soul becomes more and more corrupt. But Hank, despite being loud an obnoxious at the beginning, really does emerge as the show's moral core. Walt's son, Walt Jr., is another consistently moral character.
Every person was just out for themselves and their "good intentions" were always ulterior motives. That's why I really liked the show. It was different from other shows although I guess that Seinfeld was somewhat similiar. Both Seinfeld and Kevin James are HUGE Mets fans, as am . I don't know if that's good. :)

I do sometimes think about how hard it must be for directors to film post-apocalyptic scenes in normally well-populated areas. lol.

I love that version of King Kong.

That it is interesting. It's been so long since I've watched it that I didn't remember any of those things.

I guess that you didn't watch "King of Queens". Every character was bad. Maybe not evil but bad.
