Sockser posted:Yeah, not really an actor. It's one of those headache-inducing "he-said-she-said" situations. Are bitter, homophobic producers griping that David Yost was a dick because he didn't handle 'friendly' teasing about being an rear end-pirate and a filthy sodomite like a good sport, or is a bitter, whiny, hypersensitive David Yost projecting his issues onto others, and reading homophobia into the most routine events and innocuous comments? How many licks does it take to get the center of a Tootsie-roll pop? I guess we'll never know. One question might be, what do his ex-costars have to say about him, since they weren't the ones paying him? Another big question might be, has anyone complained about having to work with the guy since then? Since the black ranger was actually black, and the yellow ranger was yellow, I'm inclined to suspect there were at least a few fairly culturally herp-de-derpity out-to-lunch (to be generous) types working on this show.

He hasn't done any work since. Pretty much dropped off the face of the planet. I think the only photos of him between this HOMOPHOBIA SCANDAL and the end of his tenure with MMPR were some photos from Thuy Trang's funeral

Power Rangers? Two? Jason David Frank and Johnny Yong Bosch? I don't think it's a stretch that what Yost is saying is pretty close to the truth. The GAY was still a very taboo thing that didn't really get much of a positive (?) light until later in the nineties. But whatever, no way anyone can know for sure, but I still feel bad for him considering everything else that he went through.

Johnny Yong Bosch is totally the most successful. Being a relatively well-known and respected voice actor over a music career nobody really knows about. JDF has a dojo or 3 and an undefeated MMA record, but he hasn't been in many matches. I'd say JYB is the most successful. Dude voiced Kaneda in Akira, man. That's top-tier VA work. e: I need to stop posting before I get a big pornographic power rangers avatar with big red text Sockser fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Feb 12, 2011 |

So far, the hallucinatory zebra that calls Candace "Kevin" has only showed up in Candace's dreams or As far as Phineas and Ferb goes, there was a new episode last night which had some Doofenshmirtz goodness, including this exchange which sums up so much: Doofenshmirtz: Vanessa, thank goodness you're here! A platypus has tied me up in my own pants! Vanessa: How my life get to the point where that is not a strange sentence to me? And as far as bizarre Power Rangers-related things go, remember that the evil pizzas were no match for a simple stoplight.

So it's probably not a good idea to bring up a new kids show at this point... But if you like Symbionic Titan and Avatar, I might recommend somehow tracking down a French cartoon called Wakfu. It has pretty much has everything stacked up against it. It's a cartoon based on an MMO of all things, and it's a Fantasy story about a bunch of characters who band together to go on a quest. The first half of the show is pretty much just silly episodes that don't build on each other. Yet, it's a beautiful and whimsical show. Once it ties up its first arc, it really opens up. The animation and character art's gorgeous and incredibly fluid. It embraces a lot of cliches, but it abandons traditional fantasy roles and races. There's no dwarves or elves. There is no ultimate destiny or chosen one or preaching about good and evil. The villain is a sorcerer, but he never talks about darkness or corruption, his motivations are actually believable and he actually wins most of the battles he picks. The lead kid is probably the least terrible and most charming, likable, good natured kid protagonist possible. The least likely characters actually have full arcs and undergo a lot of development. And the ending is just so, so much sadder than anything I expected. Without giving away too much, it does not end on a happy note. It was a good ride. It's getting another season soon. If you're waiting for the new Avatar series, this might be nice to watch in the meantime.

Y-Hat posted:Has Phineas and Ferb ever been big on guest voices? The only one that comes to mind for me was Seth MacFarlane during the sci-fi convention episode. I actually wrote down a list for something I had written about the show: "Evander Holyfield (drawn with a bite in his ear, no less), Billy Ray Cyrus, French Stewart, Geraldo Rivera, Ben Stiller, Kevin Smith, Seth McFarlane, J.K. Simmons, Sandra Oh, John Laroquette, Vicki Lawrence, Cloris Leachman, Jennifer Grey, Tim Curry, Sheena Easton, David Mitchell, and Lorenzo Lamas (who played an alien who can only say "meap" and shoots rainbows out of his mouth!)" There may have been more. ETA: One more I remembered: Don LaFontaine, in one of his final roles. "In a world...there. I said it. Happy?"

I've been showing my kid some old cartoons periodically and it turns out she really likes Rugrats. Something so dark happened, it stuck with me. I'm watching an episode earlier with her, and it's one I've seen, the one where grandpa takes all the babies to the museum. When they get there, grandpa starts flirting with two old women (Grandpa: "Actually ladies, pasta was brought back with Marco Polo from the western hemisphere. The Indians called it maize."  ) while the kids predictably wander off. Grandpa realizes they are missing, chases them, and along the way he destroys some museum property.Okay, stay tuned. A character of a museum security guard is introduced, and her nametag is visibly zoomed in on, "Sally Payson". Towards the end of the episode, Tommy and the gang decide they should bring back a bone for spike and so they pull a T. Rex's pinky bone from the display. Sally sees them holding the bone and approaches them. Sally: "You troublemakers..."blah blah blah"Get Out!"(not even "pay for this", or I'm calling the police after all the vandalism.. just get out)"Big Sally saved the museum again." Then she is crushed by the unstable skeleton of the T. Rex I kind of laughed out loud saying, "Big Sally is gone," but the kids go home and the episode is wrapping up.While it does, Didi is reading a newspaper and the front page is "Museum Accident Claims Innocent Life" with a picture of Big Sally. The show went out of it's way to confirm she's dead. I felt so I just loving stared, speechless.

Cracked had an interesting article about cartoon spin-offs that almost happened and they had an interesting piece in it about the notorious "Dexter's Rude Awakening" cartoon. For those of you who don't know the story, here it is... http://www.cracked.com/article_19049_6-insane-versions-famous-cartoons-they-almost-made.html Cracked posted:Throughout the course of the series, Dexter's Laboratory was no stranger to "adult humor," sneaking in sly references to things only Mom and Dad would understand. But there are subtle, racy allusions, and then there's the secret unaired episode, "Dexter's Rude Removal," in which Dexter's sister straight-up calls him a "skull-loving douchebag."

TeenNick Bringing a 90's Block to Late-Night Two things, Nickelodeon: 1) You needed FACEBOOK AND TWITTER to tell you that people who grew up on your shows would happily watch them again? Because I'm pretty sure that I was hearing people clamoring for those reruns back in college, five years ago. And was it really so hard to say "Oh we have this HUGE CATALOG OF TITLES, we should fill some programming gaps with this"? 2) It's going to take you about six months to air shows that you already produced and own the rights to? I'm just a simpleton who doesn't understand how television works, but...what the hell are you guys doing over there, Viacom?

^^^ Yes, this would be why. TV is VERY heavily planned in advance normally. I've actually been digging the newer cartoons more than their older stuff all things considered. Still, it will be nice to see if Pete and Pete hold up after all these years. On that note did Danny Phantom actually get a proper ending? I just caught a couple of episodes and it actually looks like they have something of an interesting story going on.
