Fascination Street
The introduction to Fascination Street is so badass. If I were a wrestler it would be my entrance music.

Pictures of Year?

It must have been Road Rage. I gave it away because I hated it so much.

It was exactly like the flap over South Park seven years later, and Jackass after that. Parents groups will always find something objectionable on television; it's their job. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

The driving game for Game Cube was the WORST.

Your dormmates are fools

I've owned the DVD sets for years (gifts from family members) and am only now watching them thanks to the AVClub. They really are get sets, lotta extras. I could do without the Puffy Shirt or Playing Cards but whatever.

As a 12 year old, i was ecstatic at the idea of a Simpsons full-length TV show. The concept that what worked in two-minute intervals might not work at 22 minutes never crossed my mind once.

I had the "Underachiever and Proud Of It" shirt and the surfing "Aye Carumba" tshirt, both bootleg as hell. I ruled 7th grade gym class in those.

Homer's Enemy is fucking brilliant, end of discussion.

I saw Dawn on the news promoting her new NBC show (something about a hospital or something). The girl grew up real nice.

LOOOOOVEE Drusilla.

SISko eNUNciATES random sylLABLES.

That's good to know, because I'm watching these for the first time and as of now I hate Darla.

Back in session
I'm following along with the TV Club on these- most of the Buffy's I've seen once before, and I've never watched Angel. I freaking loved all four of these episodes. Buffy vs Dracula had more laugh-out-loud moments than any other episode (so far), and Angel has transformed from homework into…

I hated it, and I'm a Rob Zombie guy (I even kind of like Halloween II). Baron Von Shock suffers from Kevin Smith syndrome, where every. single. character. is all raw and in-your-face. It's not edgy to have every character be a degenerate asshole, it's just weak writing.

I liked it, but I agree that once the white kid (can't remember the name) went to college the book loses its steam.

No love for Confession?
I know it's kind of the hack choice (and I haven't read The Dark Age yet), but the Confessor/ Altar Boy story is the peak of Astro City for me. When it came out I was a longtime Batman fanboy who was just starting to expand my horizons and try stuff from outside the Big Two. That book just…

God forbid we put sexy young people in our Sci-Fi franchises. Could you imagine if they tried to pull that shit with Star Trek?

I dunno, I saw Dale a couple years ago, and in his introduction to "Miserlou" he seemed pretty pleased that he was making bank on that old chestnut yet again.
