I hated Doug. It was the start of that awful kids-dealing-with-real-life poo poo period of cartoons, instead of the wacky zany good cartoons.

Walton Simons posted:I just rewatched The Call of the Simpsons, it was fairly meh overall but the part in Cowboy Bob's RV Round-Up is great. There was another classic joke in there ('is that a good siren?') I didn't realise turned up so early. That entire scene is pretty good. The voice actor for the salesman really nailed it and being a lot older its amusing to listen to all the standard sales practices that Homer fell for.

Any whisper-talking shows like that or kipper should be banned. One of the few decent shows I found when my kids were super young was kai lan, it's a shame more shows didn't explicitly show kids that sometimes things are unfair or that emotions aside from happy and sad exist

Tonight's episode was a Christmas one AND a Sideshow Bob one. Sideshow Bob apparently ended his last episode as a lighthouse keeper. He gets recruited to play Santa at an amusement park. The Simpsons decide to go to that amusement park, which Homer hates so he sucks on the end of a hose attached to the car exhaust and inflates a bunch. The family sings "Baby Shark" on the way there. Sideshow Bob starts to murder Bart when he sees him, but then declares he's too much of a method actor to actually kill him. Someone in the town is stealing Christmas packages. Lenny injures himself creating a dye bomb to catch the thief. He writes SB in his own blood to ID the thief, which leads to Selma getting arrested. Several celebrity SB's make cameos here (Scott Bakula and Steve Ballmer). Sideshow Bob helps the family catch the real thieves: Smithers and Burns. The show ends with Sideshow Bob watching live action It's A Wonderful Life and then singing a Baby It's Cold Outside parody with his lighthouse keeper girlfriend. And then it ends again with Burns getting a pep talk from Steve Ballmer.

The worst thing they did with Sideshow Bob was not have him stop trying to kill Bart/the Simpsons after Brother From Another Series. I know continuity was never important in the show but a handful of things stuck, and that seemed like something that should have stuck. I remember how letdown I was when, when they decided to use him again after four years, he was trying to kill Bart again. Of course this was season 12 in 2001, the show had only been sucking for a few years.

I guess it's been awhile since Sideshow Bob was on the show because they actually had a flashback to all his previous crimes. They did that the first few seasons and then stopped once people didn't need it any more.

I like Doug because he's a loser with crippling anxiety so as a kid I felt "Wow this guy has his own show and he's a total loser imagine what I can do I'm much better than this guy"

this question just popped into my head so I came in here to ask all the people who are maybe slightly a little bit too keen on posting about The Simpsons, but it's ok, I forgive you: How is Flanders translated? Like all the hi neighbourino, indeedy doodliness and all that, how do they render that in French say?

The only episode of Doug I recall ever being entertained by was the BOMB IN THE LASAGNA one. I recall child me thinking it was absurd and dumb enough to make up for how bad and unfunny everything else was. Curious what bad lessons the show had since the only one I can recall off hand is the one already brought up; white folks are normal, everyone else is a technicolor mutant.

Milo and POTUS posted:Speaking of recent Family guy episode, I'm not sure they've believe the synopsis for that one either In the most recent Family Guy, Meg has to hold Stewie on Santa's lap because Santa freaks Stewie out. Santa starts tapping his knee to calm Stewie and this gives Meg her first orgasm, and she spends the rest of the episode trying to find that same Santa to repeat it. If there was a B plot, I've already forgotten it.

I always thought it was weird how in one episode Skeeter turns out to be a hyper genius? But he doesn't really seem like a hyper genius in the other episodes.

Me saying that it had bad lessons was a little too far. As an absurdly anxious kid myself, I don’t think the show did me too many favors though. I’d find new things to be anxious over via that show.
