To follow a complaint from another thread, the 17 skits in this episode pretty much illustrate my point. Numbers 14-19 never (okay, rarely ever) get good skits. It feels like they're the fly over numbers because you can't really get a good angle on them. While I admit that the just different...

That idea's nice and all, but I wonder if there's a way to take the one good cue from MFS's concept and do something that's more of a character piece without some aspect of show business in the plotline. The only films that don't have that as a backdrop are GMC, MCC, MTI, and MFS. Even MWOOZ...

I'm not sure about the availability of these things, but oddly enough the one that was readily available on DVD was the odd semi-sequel to Rakin Bass's Mad Monster Party, Mad Mad Monsters. Which was interesting. Mad Monster Party was written by Harvey Kurtzman, founder of Mad Magazine. Mad...

If I can remember the stories correctly, there was a faint rumor that spread around that The Simpsons was going to be cancelled and Matt was going to focus completely on Futurama. Despite the fact that these rumors couldn't be further from the truth with the entire universe in between them...

Ah. But the key is varied programming. Sure, you can watch cartoons anywhere all day, but they're all the same shows. I get the destruction of the syndicated animation in the afternoons and mornings. That was always a mixed bag of something great and something cheaply produced to fill out...

Personally, I think the most grievous thing to happen to television today is how Saturday Mornings Cartoons are cable only and they're essentially the same shows they run all afternoon anyway. Litton has the monopoly of three out of four major networks to still run unique SatAm programming...

I wanna see a fake, man made Gem called Cubic Zirconia (or however that's spelled) who's tacky, weak, and almost completely useless. ;) You think that's bad? We're only up to episode 3 coming this Saturday. 10 episodes behind Australia! Yet the toys seem to be doing well. At least at the...

I don't really care much for the News Flash segments either. I'd say this is a better one than the friendship one they showed twice. Especially since it actually featured all kids instead of AM kid puppets awkwardly acting like kids. I like Murray out in the field talking with kids. That's...

"You know... there was a much better spot for Robots in Disguise on Cartoon Network's line up...BUT I ATE IT!!!" Darn it, Underbite!!

Off topic, but I'm glad that CN has Ninjago at a respectable afternoon time slot. I was really hoping that would mean that CN was willing to change their daytime schedule to include more outside shows on weekdays, even if they were just once a week. Then Robots in Disguise gets the prestigious...

There are obscure iterations of that phrase sure. Just like D'Oh was originally a longer growl by some old comedian that Dan Castelanetta based Homer's voice on. For the record, it was either Bart or Lisa that first said "meh" in the Simpsons, not Homer. But the Finishing each others'...

Frankly, if you're a manager at a fast food place that means life's pretty much given up on you, and therefore punishment enough. The fact that he lost his job and gets all the blame for someone freaking the beak out for some reason pretty much solidifies how much life hates him. Nothing he...

I'm annoyed by the fact that some TVTropes members think "Finishing each others' sandwiches" was exclusive to Frozen and was never The Simpsons used The Simpsons before The Simpsons in any The Simpsons Way.

I personally think the problem is the Nielsen system. It's so incredibly outdated that it's hilarious. Some part of me wants to say they purposely pick morons so they have dumber shows and just blame the whole thing on some imaginary mountain families in the flyover states. If anything, I'd...

Yeah. Anything under a half hour. A TV special, a theatrical short. Part of a larger sketch based movie... just not as a 90 minute film. Actually, that's what I'd personally like to see. A Muppet Sketch film of all new skits. Similar to Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Like short films by...

Here's a short preview of the Steven Universe/Uncle Grandpa Crossover episode: Uncle Grandpa is sure Steven Universe animation looking alright. Love the interrupting show promo gag.

I'm sure classic fans of the movies will never cease being skeptics, and will be predetermined to hate the movies to the point of refusing to like them, yet seeing them 10 times in theaters no matter what. But Disney really seems to know how to market Star Wars. Like I said, look at the new...

We need engineers and scientists to be competitive with other countries. Hopefully they'll manage to have enough of those jobs when this generation of kids actually does that stuff. Our technological advances shouldn't be stuck on making bacon smells come out of iPhones. And while the whole...

Between this episode and the one about Stinky going to Preschool, it seems that they're almost trying to take the message of behavioral concepts to the parents watching. This episode was about how Baby Bear was perfectly ready for school, just not his father. Somehow, it delivers the subtle...

Clearly an homage to the fact this cartoon is produced by a Canadian firm. Come to think of it, the original series was partially funded by Nelvana.
