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...

Friends always struck me as just another sitcom about a bunch of schmoes in New York living in impossibly nice apartments. It was good for a few laughs, but nothing about the writing ever struck me as particularly clever. Then it devolved into a soap opera and I totally lost interest. Seinfeld...

The way I see it, if it wasn't broken, don't fix it. We don't need to see every one of Daffy's feathers or every strand of Wile E. Coyote's fur. Part of the charm of the original Looney Tunes was that these characters conveyed so much expression through just simple line drawings - guys like...

Money was tight for me this year, so the only movie I saw in theaters was Wreck-It Ralph. But it was amazing, so I'd call that money well spent. :D

I remember when "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" premiered, I rather unfairly judged it by the title and the art style and assumed it'd be a show suited only for really young kids, with no intelligence in the writing. Imagine my surprise when I actually sat down and watched it, and found...

I don't know about Robin Williams, but Chris Rock said something similar to that about his roles in Madagascar and Bee Movie. Something like "It's the easiest job in the world - I go in, I read the script, and I go home." And any professionally trained voice actor will tell you that there's a...

Die Hard. 'Tis the season. I'm also marathoning my Seinfeld DVDs from beginning to end. But every time I do, there's always a few episodes I skip 'cause I just plain ol' don't care for them - namely, "The Deal" (too much dramedy for this show), "The Kiss Hello" (kinda crosses the line in terms...

"Danger!! Death Ray" is my instant cheer-up episode. Mike and the bots have so much fun trashing this movie. Crow in particular can't seem to be able to stop laughing. ("Special effects by Billy!")

Yep, I saw a lot of crap in theaters when I was a kid: - North. I remember sitting through this garbage and thinking "Well, I'm not laughing, so why am I here?" - The Swan Princess. My sister dragged us to this one. Easily one of the most forgettable Disney knockoffs of the '90s. - Richie Rich...

In 1999, I remember seeing Star Wars Episode I and catching the teaser trailer for South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. It was the one with the computer rendering an elaborate wireframe model that turns out to be Cartman in the end. The whole audience burst out laughing when they revealed it...

My sources of cheer include (but are not limited to) MST3K, Calvin and Hobbes, Looney Tunes, and the fact that Wreck-It Ralph should be hitting Blu-ray in early March - as well as the fact that my family is always there for me and loves me for who I am. I currently live in an apartment I can...

I remember feeling the same way when I was a kid. The Pokémon universe still strikes me as really cool, which is why I've remained a fan into my adult years.

This bit from "I Married Marge" always makes me giggle. Lisa: Did you hear that, Maggie? Another baby in the house! Bart: Oh, cool! We can race 'em! Homer: Yeah, sure, for you a baby's all fun and games. For me it's diaper changes and midnight feedings. Lisa: Doesn't Mom do that stuff? Homer...

New episodes, reruns, whatever. I just want all four seasons on DVD, with special features, without having to buy $100 worth of junk through the Disney Movie Club first. Is that too much to ask?

Episodes That Will Be on Vol. XXVI « Satellite News 411- THE MAGIC SWORD 516- ALIEN FROM L.A. 620- DANGER! DEATH RAY 803- THE MOLE PEOPLE "Danger!! Death Ray" is my absolute favorite Season 6 episode ("Oh come on, what about 'he really fell for me'? Or 'his hopes are crushed'?"), so I'm...

I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who are thinking "Well, I'm not a big video game fan, so I'm probably not going to like this movie much." Please don't be fooled. This is an awesome story with a hugely fun cast of characters that just happens to take place within the world of video...

Good call on making this the first one for BANG readers - it's one of your funniest ever. :D

I remember there was a similar thread around here earlier this year, where someone was specifically looking for underwater breath holding scenes in animation. I cited a few - Kida in Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Rapunzel in Tangled, and Lisa in the "500 Keys" episode of "The Simpsons". And...

Last year, the Walmart I work at started the Christmas music the day after Halloween. Everybody complained. This year they seem to have held off, thank goodness. But I remain apprehensive.

I've always wanted to visit the Winchester House in San Jose, California. I love big sprawling houses with a million rooms, haunted or not. :)

I read every one of the robot's lines in the voice of Norm from "Phineas and Ferb". This thing is hysterical. :D

In another case of subconscious plagiarism, I think I inadvertently ripped off Sabrina's hairstyle when I designed Jocelyn.

I seem to be among a third party of Looney Tunes fans who don't particularly care for either incarnation of the character. Yes, she was a one-dimensional "girl power" stereotype in Space Jam, but surely, there has to be a better way to utilize her than turning her into an air-headed ditz. That's...

I'm in the same boat as Peter here, really - 1970s rock was some of the best. The rock of the 1990s took a lot of cues from that, and combined with my nostalgia for '90s pop culture, I tend to gravitate towards that too. But ultimately, no matter when a song was made, if it sounds good, I like...

Ah, finally! I just rekindled my interest in the WB Silver Age shows this week, watching my Tiny Toons Volume 1 DVD, and I was wondering if this release would ever happen. That makes my day! :D

Sadly, my Walmart doesn't have the Bluray, only the bare-bones DVD. :( I was hoping to put it on layaway - with the newly restored cartoons and all those Tex Avery MGM shorts, I don't think I can hold off until Christmas on this one.
