I saw a sneak peak of "The Director's Cut" and it's pretty good. It does feel a lot like the James Hound episode, but it goes into different depths. The James Hound one was all about the limitations of making a film, this one's about Executive and actor Meddling. And I have to say, I kinda like that more. James Hound is a funnier episode over all (especially Arthur's Maxwell Smart-esque line about "I guess it was a 2"), but this one's pretty good.

I'm disappointed the director wasn't played by a special guest star, though.

Greg Bailey (or, at least, I'm pretty sure it's Greg Bailey) actually took a look at my Arthur pics on deviantART; he liked them, he said they were a little weird, but in a good way.

I managed to track down another episode that doesn't air in the US for 6 months...

Brain Freeze is awesome. If there's an episode to look forward to, it's that one. It's one of the funniest episodes I've seen in a while.

I finally saw, "Sue Ellen Vegges Out" for the first time today, even though it really should've been called, "Francine and Muffy Veg Out" or something.

I probably shouldn't have though... I'm starving, but I can't buy any food till tomorrow. *Gurgle*

It should be called "Francine and Muffy Passive Aggressively force a lifestyle change on each other."

And here I am thinking Fern was the only PA queen on the show.

I will say that Sue Ellen's new voice sounded closer to her original one in, "Sue Ellen Vegges Out", however, it still sounds completely off in, "So Funny I Forgot to Laugh".

What's the episode with the Tibble Twins trying to learn to behave? Everytime I watch that one, this kinda bugs me. When Molly tries to teach them manners and they stupidly scream the (insipid) "Scream for Ice Cream" chant and Molly completely over reacts to it on their first infraction. Somehow, it comes off like this (unfortunately the comic creator doesn't have Molly, so I had to substitute Francine...)
