I actually watched Filmore recently. It's got its low points, but for the most part it's pretty great. It's a police procedural with no murders and a heavy emphasis on reformation for criminals instead of just punishment. Also the weirdest thing about the school other than the unlimited number of clubs with infinite funding, is that there are no normal sports. Hey Arnold has a weird different level when you're an old enough to understand different things that are going on. What still stands out most to me is the christmas episode about one of Arnold's regular neighbors being a Vietnam refugee. Might have some new relevance now.

I feel like a modern Fiimore would work or maybe do a version of Leverage but with kids at a school

Leverage in a school is tricky because con artists only succeed by not being recognized.

I enjoyed it. I don’t consider it amazing or anything but it’s weird and French and worth a watch if you’re interested. Be aware you’re going to need to do some reading if you want to see how the story goes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGh31qLBnFo 10 Year Old Tom is a new show on HBOMax starting September 30. It follows the character Tom, voiced by Steve Dildarian, a 10 year old kid who is forced into the strangest situtations by the adults around him. Steve Dildarian was the creator of The Life and Times of Tim, one of the funniest shows ever made that no one watched. Even though it aired for 3 seasons on HBO its not on HBOMax so your best bet is to find episodes on YouTube. Dildarian desrcibed The Life and Times of Tim as taking a normal guy and confronting him with as much conflict as possible. Some clips from it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1zWM7FgcGA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJ05l_r6aE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28tbF8PQvvE It also stars Nick Kroll as Stu, the gooniest mother rucker in media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEzNaC3IV-8 If you like absurd situational comedy this is your poo poo.

Looks neat, but also a premise about having wacky fun with conspiracy theories in the current environment is playing with fire.

But if you're gonna wait for stupid people to wise up the show's never gonna happen. It's like when people were like "should we really be saying the hollow earth theory is real?" when Kong vs. Godzilla came out. Anyone taking things as truth/confirmation from a monster movie (or in this case, a comedy cartoon) does not need clearly fictional things to justify their crazy.

Inside Job comes from Gravity Falls writer Shion Takeuchi, with Alex Hirsch serving as co-executive producer. The hidden frame in the trailer gives the telephone number 475-COGNITO (264-6486). It plays a recorded message with a backwards clip. Classic Hirsch!

Kroll is one of those comedy guys from a wealthy, connected family who went to a top flight college, became a writer, got more connections with even more would-be comedy writers from wealthy families, and go on to be really mediocre and omnipresent, but also write a film where he's a dentist who fucks an olympic skater which is an oddly specific dream to have Mr. Kroll.

Nick Kroll as Stu in The Life and Times of Tim is an amazing performance. You truly believe he is every bit the sad and broken man that he is. I wish I could find the clip of him being shut down by old dock workers in a pub when he plays "Who's hosed up the most?"

The entire first season of 10 Year Old Tom is up on HBOMax and after watching the first episode this is just the Life and Times of Tim. Same absurd situational comedy except now instead of an adult being pressured its a 10 year old kid being pressured to do steroids by his bus driver.

Anybody who is on the fence with 10 Year Old Tom just needs to read the episode title "The Principal is Banging My Mom." I'm literally struggling to get through this episode, its just too god drat ridiculous. Edit: Mother fucker just said "This dude is giving it raw to your mom and all you're getting is free pencils?!" Just god drat this show is too good. Edit 2: Ask google how to stop our principal from banging moms. I can't stop loving laughing. limp_cheese fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Oct 2, 2021 |

No Internet in my new apartment yet, so I’m watching whatever I’ve got loaded onto my PC, and I plowed through both seasons of The Critic. Holy fuckin poo poo this show was ahead of it’s time. Jon Lovitz is giving an incredible performance in the voice studio, he is really selling every line even if the animation budget has fully petered out by the end of each season. I’m busting out with giggles at a ton of these jokes, but I’m more fascinated by the context of this show than anything. It’s like a totally perfect time capsule of ‘94-‘96, but the writing is split like 33% funny witticisms and animated hijinx, 33% dated 90’s humor about being fat & gay, and 34% Hollywood references that, at 33, I am barely old enough to get. I just don’t know how anyone born after 9/11 could possibly find the movie references or the Hollywood actor jokes that funny unless they are extremely plugged in to 30+ year old Hollywood tropes, and a HUGE HUGE chunk of the joke budget revolves around people think Jay is gay, that he is a woman, or that he is fat in a comically absurd way. You just wouldn’t ever see a show constructed this way anymore for obvious reasons, and it’s wild to think that this was a prime time FOX comedy with gay jokes in literally almost every episode. As an out queer, the humor falls squarely into the “isn’t being gay silly?” style of gay joke that I find inoffensive and harmless, it’s never that being gay is gross, it’s that Jay comes off as fruity and swishy and people assume he’s gay. The fat jokes aren’t that “Fat People are gross”, they’re like “Jay is so fat that military helicopters can’t air lift him out of Iraq”, so all in all I don’t feel like the show is really punching down, just really laying it on thick that Jay is an effeminate shlub, shlameal, and schlimazel. I have also counted no fewer than 5 direct “Woody Allen is an obvious pedofile” jokes. Overall I really recommend you give the show a watch if your tolerance for dated 90’s humor is overwhelmed by your love of dated 90’s pop-culture references, but even if the animation doesn’t do anything for you, Lovitz’s performance is special, I think it’s rare for an actor to do so well in the voice acting department. Really made me hanker for Duckman, probably doing that next.

The Critic is really a gem of its time and a bit underappreciated when it came out. Its first season was on ABC as an attempt to cut into The Simpsons's lunch but it stuck out like a sore thumb amongst its more wholesome live action sitcom contemporaries and got canned after half of a season and finished it out on Fox. Its second season started there and followed after The Simpsons in scheduling, at least initially, and was helped out with the crossover ep where Jay shows up. It then got shuffled to a different time slot and died there with a whimper. It was a show that was probably a decade+ ahead of its time, Instead, it existed in the mid 90s where The Simpsons reigned supreme and no animated sitcom could be allowed to live for long while it reigned supreme.
