I find all Seth McFarlane shows to be much more entertaining if I don't watch the first 10 minutes.

The pre-network-change episodes of American Dad are actually pretty good, as hard as it is to say. I watched the original episodes back when they aired and took it as a re-skinned Family Guy, but it grew into itself. Mainly it doesn't seem have the expected pile of obvious time wasting gags. It's hard to go from watching Futurama/Community episodes with commentaries where they lament things they cut to watching a Family Guy episode where they burn a minute or more on the same bit.

I used to watch Family Guy, but haven't been able to ever since South Park did their two-parter explaining how FG was "written" by manatees. I can't watch it anymore because the randomness time-wasting is so obvious. SNL did something similar to me during a Christopher Walken episode with the "more Cowbell" bit. Now I cannot hear "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" without being aware of the cowbell.

"Apple devices don't use them." Yeah, because Jobs was a greedy rear end in a top hat who decided to completely forgo a media generation in the hopes people would by substandard poo poo on the crapple store. Yet here we are, many years later, and the BluRay is still going. It is true that it will probably be the last major hard media, but it's not going away any time soon.

Around season 4 or 5 it got really, really good. Roger the Alien is one of the best characters in television writing history.

Funkmaster General posted:I agree with you except KOTH, American Dad, and Aqua Teen are all fantastic. Also fantastic: Bob's Burgers. Actually the only things on the lineup that I think are complete wastes of space are Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, Robot Chicken, and at least half of the toonami lineup. And American Dad is amazing.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Anyone remember Brickleberry? It's like they took Family Guy and surgically removed any hint of awareness or energy from it. It tried so hard to be offensive at every turn and managed to be as outrageous as a bowl of unseasoned gruel. That it lasted three seasons is incredible. It has a lot less to do with ratings and more with Comedy Central looking for any excuse to suck off Daniel Tosh.

Typical posted:I get asked this a lot. Its sort of a life long process and involves a lot of dedication. but its super fun and rewarding. I think the easiest answer i can give you is to start drawing more. and make your own comics. Just get your ideas on paper and be funny. and don't worry about what other people think. Just aim to entertain. The rest is highly debated but you learn as you go I have a friend who's just getting into animation and it looks really tough, I'm super impressed every time I see what she's up to. I hope she gets a job working for a cool show like this so I can tell people I know someone working on it.  (I have real high aspirations)

"All the moonmen want things their way, but we make sure they see the sun." could be referencing life not wanting to be eradicated, but the Farts know it must happen anyways? Haha I don't loving know it's probably just gibberish that sounds profound.

Dumb millennials may find this hard to understand, but some of us like to actually own the things we pay money for. Digital poo poo is also almost always lower quality and lacking supplements.

All things are impermanent; your physical object is but an artifact of your fear of change. A standard BR disc kept in it's case is far less fragile than a hard drive, especially if it isn't flash memory. If given the choice between spending $22 on a bunch of files I can only download from a single source and only authorize on 5 machines at a time, or spend the same on a physical disc that I can take anywhere with ease or lend to a friend, I choose the disc every single time.

It's moot anyways. Most of the time the blu-ray is cheaper AND comes with the same digital copy you would pay more for by itself. Case in point. The Rick and Morty blu-ray is $14.99 on Amazon right now and comes with a digital copy for UV. Buying a digital version of Rick and Morty costs $21.99 on Vudu, $19.99 on Google Play and $21.99 on iTunes. The only place where it's price parity with its digital counterpart is on Amazon. But why pay even the same amount and get less? bull3964 fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jul 10, 2015 |

But the line between owning a DVD or Blu-ray that will last for decades as long as you don't gently caress it up and having a file on a mechanical device that can fail in a dozen different ways even if you don't do anything wrong isn't exactly razor-thin. Physical objects are not an artifact of the fear of change. They're simply the closest thing to a permanent archival medium the average consumer has access to. As for DVD extras, don't miss them. They're still out there, waiting for you. They've been trying to get a hold of you, too. They miss you.

I still make bad art these days too, but more infrequently. also i look forward to sharing what I can when the episodes air Stuff like Rick and Morty, Steven Universe, that's the kind of stuff DVD's were made for. I want to give projects like those more of my money, just so I can hear them talk more about their passion projects, and go through all the special features. I never thought I'd see anything like Rick and Morty on my Television. It blows my mind.

In 30 years, there may be a new medium. Or new media may be out, and it might all be on the cloud, which will be great as long as nothing ever goes wrong. But I'm willing to bet that Blu-rays will still be popular for a while yet, and I know that the ones I own will have some value as long as I still have a functioning player. Seeing as how you can still obtain a working VHS player with very little trouble all these years after the complete obsolescence of VHS, I'm pretty sure I won't be hurting for players until several years after my death. So, it's all good.

I think still buying blu-rays is like people that still buy collector's editions of their video games. They come with physical things like soundtracks and art books, or independent comic books that don't go anywhere, busts of the main character. Some people just want to buy the game, so they buy digital, and some people want all that "stuff" so they buy the collector's edition. Same goes for blu-rays and DVDs, some people want all of those special features, those commentary tracks, because they want to know more about how this thing was made. Other people just want to watch their show or their movie, so they get Netflix, or buy the digital copies of the movie or show. I guess the same goes for music too but then I don't buy a lot of CDs either, but that's more because my public library is free so I just borrow the the CDs and rip the music to my computer  works even better if it is to replace a CD that is so worn out that it skips to poo poo or CDs that were stolen and you didn't back them up.

It doesn't get much simpler than this. The blu-rays are cheaper and come with the digital copy. Even if you don't have a blu-ray player or plan on lighting the disc on fire as soon as you take it out of the package, the blu-ray is still the better buy.

Also - anyone who hasn't already needs to watch Mr Sprinkles. Roiland and Harmon collaborated on it years ago and it touches on a lot of the same themes as Rick and Morty. The biggest difference is that the main character, unlike Rick, is neurotically unsure of himself and is confronted with how society sees him. Also, he may or may not be a pedophile. I think the last episode is only up at the VH1 site but you can find the whole series on the first page of Google results.
