The month of June is ending soon, and this being the last Thursday of the month we are having another television-themed Thursday Movie Picks. This week we are exploring the fish-out-of-water theme, a theme that screams Ted Lasso — and it would have been the perfect pick as not only it features one hell of a fish-out-of-water character, but it's about football and Euro 2020 is happening right now. Unfortunately, my dumb-ass used it at the beginning of the year so I'll have to do without it.
Futurama (1999-2013)
I can't think of anyone fitting the theme as good as Philip J. Fry does as he's accidentally frozen in 1999 and thawed out on New Year's Eve 2999, and finds himself in a completely different world.
Prison Break (2005-2009)
The best series I've watched this year so far, it stars Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield, a brilliant structural engineer who commits arm robbery so that he will be sent to prison and can help his brother, who is soon to be executed for a murder he did not commit, to escape. The fish is obviously Michael as it's the only non-criminal in that prison.
Ugly Betty (2006-2010)
Betty (America Ferrera) is a smart, sweet, and hard-working young woman who is hired to work at a fashion magazine. The problem is that she has a unique style, she is not thin and (conventionally) beautiful like her co-workers, and she is constantly reminded of it.
