I thought he let the dick mouse go free into the night.

He let it go, yeah, but it came back. He was truly meant to be... a sort of... man. Ish.

Man, Allen Gregory sure is terrible.

I mean, the opening titles are pretty cool. And I generally think Jonah Hill's pretty all right. It's not even that I can't watch a show with unlikable protagonists -- if you look to your left you'll see a Charlie Kelly lyric -- but I just spend every minute of the show wanting someone to beat the smarmy little bastard relentlessly, and it never comes.

This is by the same people who did that Kid Notorious shit some years back, right? At any rate it's the same animation and the same smug, self-indulgent bullshit masquerading as comedy.

I guess my point is, where the fuck is Bob's Burgers?

So I guess Allen Gregory got canceled.

Well, good.

Now where the fuck is Bob's Burgers?

Welp, Napoleon Dynamite: The Animated Series is about as good as you'd expect.

Which is still better than tonight's Simpsons, which, in a show of solidarity, was also written entirely around material from 2004.

I can't help questioning the wisdom of promoting all your mediocre network cartoons with your much better basic-cable cartoon.

Thad why in god's name do you continue to watch Fox's animated lineup, week after week? It is time to come to terms with the fact that no new animated project they release will either (be good)/(last past one season).

I mean I love dumb humor as much as the next Joe, but Family Guy's long since made it clear that they hold both their network and audience in the highest contempt. It's not a funny enough farce these days to justify the time.

American Dad is consistently funny, Simpsons still manages to put out the occasional Book Job-quality episode, Bob's Burgers is really quite good and does in fact have a second season coming, and hell, even The Cleveland Show managed to put out a decent episode for Christmas.

Would it help you to understand if I explained that most of this was background noise while I was playing Final Fantasy Tactics?

In the new Looney Tunes show, Granny was an Allied spy in WWII who, with the help of Tweety Bird, stopped the nazis from stealing the Eiffel Tower with a zeppelin.

I fully approve of this.

I like how she goes from that this by the 60's

Some people don't weather that hump from 40's to 50's gracefully.

Apparently massive facial reconstruction factored into her spy career at some point.

Still June Foray, right?

Yeah, someone turned her from a Disney character into a Warner one.

Tonight's a good enough reason. After a rocky first act Simpsons really hit it out of the park; it's interesting that the best episodes of the season are movie pastiches, and supports my theory that Simpsons is doing a lot better homaging different things than Family Guy is trying to homage fewer things. (Also whoever cuts the commercials had the good grace not to advertise [spoiler]Glenn Close's guest appearance even though they could have promoted the hell out of the fact that she just got an Oscar nom[/spoiler] but that would have been a pretty big spoiler.)

And Bob's Burgers has been worth the wait. Heh heh. Duderuses.

Pity Fox cares so little about it that they started the season in March. And referred to it as "Bob's Burger" in one of the commercials.

Seriously, this thing is going to get canceled well before The Cleveland Show and I'm going to be sad.

EDIT: Also American Dad is pretty good but it's pretty fucking jarring that it revolves around Roger being deployed to Iraq. Most distracting timing since that Simpsons episode whose climax revolved around Simon Cowell refusing to quit American Idol and which aired the same week as his final episode.

Welp, so far I'm quite enjoying Ultimate Spider-Man.

No, it's not Spectacular, but, well, spilt milk. The premise is goofy as hell, but that's what I love about it.

Seriously, [spoiler]Principal[/spoiler] Phil Coulson. Swish that one around in your head a bit. And yes, he's voiced by the same guy who plays him in the movies. Also: JK Simmons is Jolly Jonah.

It's Dini at his very silliest. Which is a good thing. (Also his wife plays Aunt May.)

And oh man Avengers was awesome too.

And now I want a Fantastic Four series SO BAD.

Büge · « **Reply #376 on:** April 03, 2012, 08:32:20 PM »

Haven't there been, like, three of them?

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #377 on:** April 03, 2012, 08:35:31 PM »

a good fantastic four

At least four. The original '60's series, the '70's one with HERBIE the Robot, the '90's one with the theme song, and the one from a few years ago.

Yes, this. The original is pretty great, and I hear the others have their moments (I watched the first few of the one a few years ago and then it just kinda Went Away; it had potential), but THIS was awesome. I want to see this team doing a Fantastic Four cartoon.

Ah, okay. I remember the HERBIE cartoon, the cartoon with Ghost Rider Penance Staring Galactus, and the cartoon with Squirrel Girl's tryout.
