The original French version was on Youtube for awhile, subsequently taken down. There are still clips you can find though.

Yeah, there's an inconsistency with respect to the depiction of the characters. Sometimes the Rabbi has dot eyes, (and ironically like Tintin) like a cartoon, and then he'll have fuller eyes (this usually happens when he is angry).

I would think something like that might have appealed to your misanthropic ways? Yeah, if we've learned anything from this year's election, is that rape is not funny unless it causes the GOP to lose easily attainable Senate seats.

What's better? This or the Newsroom? Plus, that murder guy was in Lincoln, and he didn't play JWB. Missed casting opportunity

I was thinking more Nicktoons. Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, early Rugrats, early Hey Arnold. et all, are, in my mind, still very enjoyable to use your word.

Looking back, a lot of the 90s Nick stuff wasn't half bad.
