    The Simpsons - "Moonshine River" - Talkback [9/30]

    Have you been? It's one of my favorite places in town since I first walked it last year.

    Mooning scenes in cartoons

    I thought of the "Hey Arnold!" episode "Full Moon," where Harold, Stinky and Sid moon the prinicpal, who basically holds Arnold hostage in a week of detention as the only witness to get the information out of him.

    American Dad - "A Ward Show" - Talkback [11/6]

    You mean Roger, Roger, and Roger. I think it's becoming increasingly Roger's show; he's been at the center of most of the plots and has become the "symbol" of the show. I myself have never liked him; I actually abandoned AD a few years ago thanks to him, and haven't looked back save for an...

    Not much press for B&B's return

    Vouching for Storm Eagle as a fellow New Yorker, I have also seen several taxis with rooftop ads for our chuckling duo.

    Should the next season of Futurama be the last?

    Thank you! That's exactly what I'm talking about here.

    Should the next season of Futurama be the last?

    I'm not "having a fit." I have bigger problems with the relaunch than referencing things from the present. -As I discussed earlier, the Fry/Leela thing is going nowhere, but it is one of the dominant features of the show. We're told it's destiny, but they're just good friends. Resolve it and...

    Should the next season of Futurama be the last?

    Agreed. The problem is that the show has made it out that it's, like, destiny that these two will be together... and I just don't see it. Fry has done everything for Leela from sacrificing himself to finding her parents... and it STILL isn't enough. Not only does it make Leela a cruel, cold...

    Shows that were particularly hard on the Main Character

    How about Juniper Lee? She inherited great power without any say in the matter, and what is her lot in life? Trapped in her hometown until either she dies or becomes infirm/passes the baton, no friends to help her burden (just family that either is ineffectual, obnoxious or doesn't want the...

    Futurama getting the George Lucas treatment

    Clarify, please... I'm confused; are topical jokes being added or not? Several posts here outright state or suggest they are, but David said nothing that indicates to me that such a bastardization is happening... if it is, it shows how far Futurama's straying from what made it great by relying...

    Has The Simpsons been renewed for a Season 24? (10/8 Update: Series renewed for two more seasons)

    And as I've said to you before... why should you care? You don't like it? Fine. Don't watch. I know you've said "I want to say I've seen them all." I can assure you no one will care; I've seen all 727 episodes and 11 movies of Star Trek, and I don't brag about it outside of the trivia portion of...

    Has The Simpsons been renewed for a Season 24? (10/8 Update: Series renewed for two more seasons)

    simpspin, I think it's pretty clear that rgg (and others for that matter) are upset about this, there's no need to be gleefully rubbing it in or putting words in his mouth about him seeing this as the Second Coming. Maybe people just... like the show, you know? For example, I would have no...

    Blog Talkback: Should "The Simpsons" be Cancelled?

    I don't think it's so much hating the Simpsons as it is feeling like it should have ended long, long ago, when it was still the amazing satire of the nuclear family we knew and loved. At least, that's how it is for me.

    Blog Talkback: Should "The Simpsons" be Cancelled?

    I'm not to keen on that option, either. I've actually all but abandoned the relaunch because of all the lazy jokes and current events sniping as opposed to engrossing, witty sci-fi/fantasy parody that used to be there. I also think Fry/Leela has run its course and is no longer believable as a...

    Blog Talkback: Should "The Simpsons" be Cancelled?

    I think the most sobering thing about The Simpsons is just how long it's been around. I remember watching them for the first time in first grade or so. In between now and then, I have completed grade school, earned two degrees, moved out of my parents' home, and held four jobs. I honestly didn't...

    Has The Simpsons been renewed for a Season 24? (10/8 Update: Series renewed for two more seasons)

    Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground but we refuse to see. Nothing last forever.
