Pandamn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta

Huh, that sounds like a more cop-out-ish version of one of my favorite episodes of The Batman. Hugo Strange develops a drug that turns people into zombies and so Batman and Robin are on the run the entire episode. Eventually, after they get Robin, Batman figures out an antidote and is about to disperse it via a bunch of gas bombs. Eventually, Zombie Batgirl, Robin and Commissioner Gordon catch him, and it turns out that the drug was actually just a hallucinogen and everybody's been chasing Batman to stop him from releasing the "antidote" which was actually the real poison.

The weird thing is that the show already had an "out" in that Jason Blood was supposed to be developing a cure so they could have just dosed everyone with it. Also they apparently had some crazy restrictions like the fact that they couldn't actually show anyone being bitten so it had to do a cutaway every time it happened.

This is true. But honestly, I'd say it's more good than bad, when you look at the series as a whole.

Plus, as cheesy as it is, I loving love The Batman vs. Dracula.

I've heard the rumors. It'd make sense seeing as how crazy popular it is outside of its demographic. But, alas this is Hasbro, I do not keep my hopes up that it will be as good as the first season. Although, Friday's episode had me in stitches with Pinkie Pie's disguises.

It's been confirmed by people on the staff! :)

I don't think Hasbro will gently caress with it either, it's the highest rated show on Hub and while I'm sure the suits are baffled by the adult fanbase it's money in their pockets either way.

If it's just a DVD pressing of the episodes available on Netflix streaming, I'd say no. There's some quirky cuts on those episodes.

Speaking of which, any chance of getting Two Stupid Dogs on DVD? I recently took a look on YouTube for some episodes after explaining it to a friend of mine and surprisingly didn't find much. The episode I did find had a HUGE sex gag that just floored me and must have sailed over my head as a kid.

My new favorite moment of the series is in "Junk Junkies" where they make fun of L. Ron Hubbard.

I PM'd Aatrek, and he said that we are, in fact, allowed to talk about MLP in this thread- as long as it doesn't get creepy. I hope that this doesn't derail the thread into pony domination.

In the mean time, chew on the AV Club's review of My Little Pony. It's a positive review (the author gave it a B+), so beware- it might just get a hipster following now.

I'm sure that Aatrek or angerbot will intervene if things get out of hand.

Edit: I'll try to move the thread along from ponychat. Has anyone seen the Phineas and Ferb (there's a thread somewhere dedicated to the show but it's pretty much dead) episode "Nerds of a Feather?" I'd go as far as to say it's one of the best episodes of kids' programming I've seen. If you consider yourself a nerd, do yourself a favor and watch it on Netflix (it's in Season 2).

Season 3 of the show is currently going on, and Netflix is adding the episodes as it goes along.

On that note, I've been watching reruns of My Life as a Teenage Robot lately and have actually been pretty impressed so far. The art is interesting, the characters are entertaining (Jenny aside. She's kind of a whiny bitch), and it has some of the more interesting problem resolutions I've seen in kid's entertainment. My favorite being how they "fixed" Sheldon's 75 year long trek through space.

It's really depressing that they had to end it so prematurely. :/
