Holy hell, I remember that Angry Beavers issue like I just read it yesterday! Mmm, nostalgic... To answer some of your questions, "Scene But Not Heard" and "Southern Fried Fugitives" were both recurring features in the Comic Book - in fact, I think "Southern Fried Fugitives" had been running...

Nothing beats the Looney Tunes Golden Collections. Big four-disc box sets, each containing between 56 and 60 uncut and remastered cartoons. Bonus features aplenty, too. You won't be disappointed. :)

Ah, Chekov's Gunman :D Love her little breakdown as she's led away. (Yeah, in case it isn't obvious, I really can't stand Taylor Swift.)

After looking at my shelf full of Disney Adventures magazines and frequently consulting them for Forever 16 ideas, it dawned on me that I still have a whole heck of a lot to say about the stuff within these pages. So I decided, what the hell, let's open the archive back up! My goal is to do one...

"Every Kiss Begins With Cheese" is great, as is Ivan's rejection of Taylor Swift. I don't blame him one bit :D Keiki has had a great run, but if you're eager to experiment with new ideas, by all means, go ahead. :)

We got zombie Nirvana at the 12/12/12 concert. Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Paul McCartney for some reason. There's always a 20-year buffer zone for nostalgia. In the '90s, everybody was really into the '70s. During the '00s, everything from the '80s came back. It only makes sense that the...

I know we're talking cold reruns here, but I've thought a lot more in-depth over the years about what could be done if the show ever came back with new episodes. And personally, I would have loved to see the show return as an animated series. Sure, it's not really that plausible to do an hour...

Pros? What pros? Okay, I guess some of the voices were pretty good. I still think Bob Bergen does the best Porky Pig and Marvin the Martian since Mel Blanc died. And while Billy West wasn't right for Bugs Bunny, he does do a killer Elmer Fudd. Everything else was pretty much garbage. Like most...

2005 may have had its low points (Disney's Chicken Little, "Loonatics Unleashed" on Kids' WB, the painfully unfunny return of "Family Guy"), but don't forget it also gave us "Avatar: The Last Airbender". That almost makes up for everything else. I'd actually say 2006 was a worse year for...

I've tried to explain to my grandmother why I like Adventure Time, but after seeing the episode "The Monster", which mostly consists of Lumpy Space Princess living with wolves and not being terribly funny, she still thinks it's idiotic. And while this isn't an animated example, it's still...

There's a K-Mart in my city, and nobody goes there either. It's one of the anchor stores at the New Harbour Mall in Fall River, though "Mall" is probably too strong a word - they've got a filthy understaffed Walmart on one end, the filthy and constantly empty K-Mart on the other end, and maybe...

I'm pulling for Wreck-It Ralph, but I feel like Brave is gonna win this one. Pixar are the Academy darlings, after all. And even despite the solid emotional core, I have my doubts that the Academy would ever go for a geeky genre-breaker about video game characters.

I remember being there when the first episode aired in 1993, and it was indeed "A Sucker for the Suck-O-Matic" and "Canned". Which I think was fitting, since they do have that introductory "first episode" feel to them.

This thread would be incomplete without mention of the Goofy holler ("AAAHH-HOO-Hoo-hooie!"). I was pretty surprised to hear it pop up on "Rocko's Modern Life" a couple of times - that show seemed to have access to every cartoon sound effect ever made.

There's very little riffing during that scene (John Forsythe and Ann-Margret are talking so fast, Mike and the bots can barely get a word in edgewise), but I love their nonverbal reactions to the sound effects - all the little giggling, and Crow looking around as if trying to see where they're...
