I found a trailer with a more informative description for 'Queer Eye' leads structured reality shows at the Emmys — again.
I decided against using the following video in Barack Obama nominated for Outstanding Narrator of 'Our Great National Parks' at the 2022 Emmy Awards despite the preview image because it didn't feature enough of his narration.
The original:
The remake:
So. Much. Fanservice. And I'm not even talking about Faye Valentine's outfit. Also, the latter gives us Spike's, Jett's, and Faye's guns as well as a bunch of bounties who look like they should be in "Batman Beyond."

I decided not to use the following video for 'My Octopus Teacher' wins Best Science/Nature Documentary and Best Cinematography at the 2020 Critics' Choice Documentary Awards in favor of a shorter one with better editing and audible interviewers.
An interview with Pippa Ehrlich, the director of My Octopus Teacher! Learn about her connection the kelp forest, how she started working with Craig Foster to make My Octopus Teacher, what the process involved and some of the crazier stories along the way!

One of the top five entries on Ballotpedia today is Joe Exotic: "Joe Exotic (Libertarian Party) ran for election for Governor of Oklahoma. He lost in the Libertarian primary on June 26, 2018." While it proves that the Libertarians in Oklahoma had some sense, I wonder if they'd actually vote for him now.
Netflix has a nominee A Great Day in Hollywood that also makes a political and social point.
...
"A Great Day in Hollywood" [is the third most viewed] with 561,033 views [on YouTube].
...
If [The Emmys] were the People's Choice Awards, I think it would be between "Don't Mess with Mother" and "Dream Crazy" with the latter favored on emotional appeal. However, this is an awards voted on by entertainment professionals, who like flattering or at least interesting portrayals of show business, so I think "A Great Day in Hollywood" has nearly as good a chance of winning as the Nike commercial.
Excerpted and modified from 'Point of View: Sandy Hook Promise' among Emmy nominees for Outstanding Commercial.
A Great Day in Hollywood is inspired by “A Great Day in Harlem” - A moment that captured the spirit of New York City, the center of the jazz world, in 1958 at a time that was considered the “golden age of jazz.”Now that's a worthwhile way to toot your own horn, Netflix!
Netflix is bringing that feeling back with a Great Day in Hollywood, representing a moment in time within Hollywood where Black people are getting more opportunities across the industry.
A true coming out celebration.

The 80s nostalgia is strong with Netflix
Jul. 23rd, 2018 12:15 amI've been a big fan of "Stranger Things" since it aired three years ago. That series is original, but it has a lot of 1980s influences and takes place in 1983-1984. I just finished watching "GLOW," another original series set in Los Angeles (and Pasadena) in 1985. As someone who was living in Los Angeles at the time, I found all the references very familiar. It also reminded me of why I'm glad to be 2,000 miles from La La Land — the bottom-feeding desperation of people trying to enter and remain in show business always bothered me, along with all the other side effects of a culture focused on producing entertainment, including a self-loathing of all the fakery. Still, it was better to see it in fiction than in reality.
Those aren't the only shows capitalizing on 1980s nostalgia on Netflix. Last year, my wife and I caught an episode of "One Day at a Time." That show may have begun in the 1970s, but it lasted until 1984. At least they updated the cast to make them Latino. Yesterday, I finally succumbed to boredom and curiosity and watched the first two episodes of "Fuller House," another update of a 1980s sitcom. My son and I were actually loyal watchers of the repeats in syndication and I admit I enjoyed it. That written, I've called the show a "popular piece of crap." It's actually not that bad. It is exactly what I expected an update of the original would look like. I have to admit, it's just as entertaining as the original and everyone has aged well. In fact, I'll retract my calling it "a piece of crap." It's been nominated for Outstanding Children's Programming at the Emmy Awards. No wonder my then grade-school son liked the original in the early 90s!
Do any of you know of any other "original" programs on Netflix that run off 1980s nostalgia?
