I'm really enjoying how Teacher's Pet weaves in references to science and historical figures into the show. There had to be at least one kid who knew who Peron was or that the capital of Malawi was Lilongwe from the show. It's not in your face either since the main character is a show-offy know-it-all too.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Ugly cartoons were all the rage in the 90s. Not everything has to look cute. I do have to wonder what caused that trend. The "ugly" style was probably at least partially backlash against the Disney/Filmation/Hanna-Barbera. On the other hand, you did have other new styles for example Batman: The Animated Series. There really was a huge glut in cartoons in the 90's, like way more than I remember from the 80's where you could always find old Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry filling time slots.

They gor their druthers on the first couple season of The Simpsons, which (espeically on those first two seasons) was really an ugly cartoon when you get down to it. Yellow people, massive overbites, and...uhh...actual monster people who look like this:  Then they went and made their own cartoons to emphasize their unique brand of "ugly, but technically competent"* cartoons like Rugrats, Ahhh! Real Monsters, Duckman, etc...Other studios then just sort of capitalized on the trend. John K probably can take some credit, too, since he developed Ren and Stimpy and it was kind of ugly at times and plenty of cartoons tried to ape it's style as well. *As opposed to basically every cartoon from the mid 60's to the late 80's (basically before Ducktales) that was "pretty, but technically incompetent." Like...Scooby-Doo and Transformers can look fine if you just have one static shot/cell, but once the actual animation starts, woo-boy.

I love those two guys with Bart hair who have become stuck together in the crowd like an MC Escher painting. It's nothing like the Simpsons at all, but I wish there were more shows with stuff like that.

Technically yes, but it's still gross if a 55 year old dates someone who's only 22. The age difference implies an imbalance in experience and power, and that the older of the two is exploiting that imbalance for their own gain. If course there are exceptions, and it should be judged on a case-by-case basis. But as a rule-of-thumb the 'half your age plus seven' rule is valid more often than not.

Nah, it's disrepsectful/infantalizing to grown rear end adults in service of scoring creep points on the older party. And anyway Seinfeld dated a high school student while in his thirties so creep points: scored, no need for some meme-y rule.

Twenty somethings are not grown rear end adults, if you're over 50 and need to date someone 30 years younger than you, you're a creep. There's no need for a rule because that's common sense.

The half-plus-seven rule is like a lot of rules - it's a bit arbitrary, obviously, but it exists so that you'll think about it before you break it. Like speed limits. Someone going 70mph in a 65 zone isn't really being dangerous, and in the same way a 50-year-old dating a 30-year-old isn't really being creepy. But someone doing 100 in a 65, or a 50-year-old dating a 19-year-old, is a whole different loving story.

What I meant by exceptions are more akin to "65 year-old dating a 37 year-old", which I should have been more explicit about. But absolutely agree with the other posts, if a person outside their late-20's dates somebody who can only be described as "young" then it's super creepy; and likely based on imbalanced relationship dynamics.

Up till twenty, the difference shouldn't be much more than two years. Between twenty and thirty, everything goes, as long as it's legal. Between thirty and forty, date anyone between 25 and your own age. After thirty, it's chaos and just do what you want.

One episode where David Carradine used Kung Fu magic to force-push somebody to the ground, causing a bullet to miss them. And then one where he and his pupil went back in time and paradoxed it so that they were the ones who inspired the creation of Crane and Tiger styles.

The best summary on the top end of half-plus-seven is that it has a corollary which eventually replaces it some time around age 50: "no man should be older than his mother-in-law". Beachcomber's using Keanu as an example was quite amusing, considering that pretty much the first joke in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is how squicked they both are that Bill's stepmother went to high school with them.
