A huge number of early Simpsons episodes are reaaaaaally uncomfortably racist.

South Park normally sucks but I was surprised at how nice the yaoi episode was to everybody.

well why not posted:The best parts of Community is when the turn the meta tap all the way on and you get stuff like "Subway" being a character. The worst part is when they try and do anything romantic. It's such a mess of a show, I can't help imagine what it'd be like if the cast and crew didn't cycle out like they do. I agree, the best episodes of Community is when they go gently caress it and now they're in a KFC rocket ship.

BioEnchanted posted:I think Zim has some humour that still works, mainly the absurd situations, like the members of the Irken Empire who's planet was turned into a giant weapon factory, so they intentionally make garbage weapons that serve no purpose like the giant robot that turns invisible - except the pilot can still be seen floating in midair, and it has a really short power cable that needs to be plugged in at all times. I have learned to ignore fan bases. One of my favorite episodes of anything is the one about door to door sales because we've all been in either that situation or one where that's one hell of a metaphor. You work yourself to death for capitalism. At the end there is no prize. Pick has a new favorite as of 15:29 on Aug 5, 2017 |

RareAcumen posted:Being serious again, does Gargoyles still hold up? I never got into it, because by the time I got Disney XD-or whatever the second channel was called- to watch it, they were already on like, episode 87 or something. Gargoyles owns.

Mister Kingdom posted:Just a side note - it's weird to know that Laura Ingalls Wilder died in 1957. Not only that, but she vastly outlived her siblings. So when you read about her envying her one older sibling, her sister, Mary, know that Mary went blind (okay, that's in the books) at 12 or so and then lived the rest of her life as a miserable burden on her parents and eventually other sisters and died relatively young.

I'm sorry dorkwads, but Alan Moore is actually just a really lovely writer who doesn't actually get what makes something good and is pretty much the poster boy for pseudo-edgy white guys who think they're smarter than everyone else.

Tiggum posted:I heard Babylon 5 was really good and watched about five episodes before giving up. I guess I'll give it another look at some point if the second season is as big an improvement as that. It is in fact really good, but S1 is super uneven and shaky, but also sets up major series-long arcs. You don't "get" the payoff of Londo unless you watched S1 londo.

someone awful. posted:yea, smithers isn't like awful or anything. and i think a lot of my distaste with the way he was portrayed is just a result of him falling victim to the same character exaggeration as Homer and Ned Flanders and Lisa and everyone else; like that dude said upthread the Malibu Stacy computer joke for example is hilarious, for example. As a kid, my favorite Simpsons characters were Mr. Burns, Smithers, and Bumblebee Man. Taught me a lot about life.

Inescapable Duck posted:The weird thing is Apu is one of the better developed, three-dimensional characters on the show, going from one of Springfield's eligible bachelors and a sometime friend of the family to a frazzled overworked father of eight, though they never really pulled away from the stereotype when they had every opportunity. Apu owns the Kwik-e-Mart; he even hired Homer at one point and made it clear that it was his business . If I recall at one point he loses the franchise license though and has to get it back.

sweeperbravo posted:This happened to me with the animated Beetlejuice series. I used to come home from Kindergarten and after Gargoyles wrapped up, Beetlejuice would come on. I loving loved it. I was in love with Beetlejuice, I wanted to be Beetlejuice and/or Lydia at any given time. I guess the show lineup changed because at some point I just must have abruptly stopped watching it. Gargoyles however is still extremely good.

Wheat Loaf posted:I went to see a movie where they played a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends segment that was about 10 minutes long but felt like it was half an hour and all the characters (especially the blue one) were incredibly annoying. I still don't entirely see the appeal. That show always sucked hot garbage.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:The plot of the third episode of NewsRadio revolves around the Joey Buttafuoco case. That's actually a pretty fascinating case and it's interesting how the wife explains her perspective on things. Joey had always been a piece of poo poo, it took her a while to figure out because she had a very loyal and faithful personality. So by that time he'd already gambled away their house for cocaine once.

Mu Zeta posted:I got bored of Elementary but that was after watching nearly 50 episodes. The little arc they did with the British girl that was raped was well done. Is Clyde still alive? Clyde is still alive and Kitty returned in a really interesting way that was handled well. You did yourself a disservice by not waiting until Sherlock's dad showed up in Season 4, it was worth the buildup and he owns.  I'd rank the seasons as probably 4, 1, 3, 2, 5. Which is a weird pendulum, but none of the seasons are bad.

Elementary has a police detective character who is black, and his blackness does not completely define him, and neither is it completely ignored  .
