back in the 90s I was in a very famous teeeeveeeee showww

The view from halfway down.

great episode. I honestly think of it often.

Shows was way too deep for a cartoon horse show lol, it’s seriously fantastic

And I can't think of any other show, cartoon or live action or anything, that was anywhere close to what this horse cartoon was.

I think it was the most honest portrayal of mental illness in a show I've ever seen. not judgy about shit either and didn't make it the only defining feature of a character. the writing was excellent.

Sometime you need surrealism to get you close to reality.

I think you can get away with more and be more honest when a talking horse is the star

Plus the whole, "why the long face.." and whatnot. Show is deep.

Is he who Bojack horseman paralleled? Or is it just a common trope.

I think it's just a Hollywood cliche with enough truth it plays out in the real world here and there. a lot of the show was a commentary on LA culture and how it'll swallow people.

there are a lot of parallels here but I'm sure it's a coincidence, but it shows how right the series got it.

that show really hit me. I feel really bad for Matthew Perry, I didn't know anything about his struggles until now and it's really sad. the world really eats some people alive.

I always thought that it was David Duchovny, but I guess that it could be Matthew Perry, or a combination.

Doubt it's Duchovny. Bojack was on a Full House style family sitcom, nothing like X Files or Red Shoe Diaries.

Did Duchovny have a drinking/drug problem? I know he was a sex addict (which, in retrospect, makes Mulders porn addiction a lot funnier), but otherwise he seems like he has his shit together
