Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

[Mo Frackle]

I remember catching an old Postcards from Buster segment (by this point, the series itself was no more; a brief segment featuring one kid was tacked onto the ending of an Arthur episode... do they still do that?)

I was really annoyed by the first thing that came out of Buster's mouth: "Hey, Buster Bunny here!". .... Buster Bunny? Really?

A similar thing happened on a post-season 3 episode of SpongeBob. At one point in the "special" where the annoying yellow jerk loses his memory, Sandy Cheeks is called "Sandy Squirrel".

I hate that because it's the name of the wrong cartoon character.

I just now noticed that in the new Story 9 episodes, all their tongues are white again.

The episode where George invents his own language was on today, and it drives me nuts. Of ALL the characters on the show that should have known that George was basically doing American Sign Language, a crude version of it anyway, was Brain. Brain the character that corrects every other character every single time they talk to him. Brain failed to point that out in the episode and it totally lost me.

As for 9 Story, the ONE scene I feel is the worst piece of animation is where Grandma Thora is playing that Lawyer Friendly Angry Birds game, and she was moving about.

It seems like occasionally, shows like this like to try and point out that these smart characters aren't ALWAYS as smart as they appear to be.

I guess Brain had the idiot ball or something. I dunno... it seems like they purposely made the smartest kid on the show forget something obvious for the sake of a non-plot. Seriously... the entire episode feels like it was rushed out to fill a quota. It has a concept and almost a plot, but it just peters out and becomes nonsense.

Heh! PBS is pulling the two different episodes featuring Lance Armstrong from the air now.

 

[Sgt Floyd]

Why? Did I miss something in the news?

 

[D'Snowth]

Uh yeah, he recently admitted that he's a big, fat, lyin' lie-faced liar.

In other words: yeah, he really did dope up when he said he didn't.

Yeah, that bothered me too.

So, are you saying you don't like Spongebob the character, post-season 3?
