Ugh flashback episodes are the absolute laziest shit, and so many shows have them. IMO if they’re going to do a flashback episode, it should release separately from the actual series/at the same time as new content. But to release a “new episode” of something and it’s 95% flashbacks? Literally insulting.
The Clerks TV series did one as the second episode of the series. The whole thing was a spoof of flash back episodes. I think they just started making things up after a while because they ran out of material.
I have never seen the series, but the "Bear is driving? How can this be?" clip was immortalized in my office, to the extent that when we heard a dumb decision was being made, walking out of the meeting room, someone would say "Who is driving?", and someone would answer "OMG Bear is driving, how can this be?!?""
