Flashbeagle was promoted heavily before it aired.  It was like every ad break had a spot for it.  Look, the Peanuts gang is doing something relevant!  And timely!

Wasn't there a Saturday Morning Cartoon version of Plastic Man?

Ooooh, good point, @avclub-86a9ac7667ec45a86614223897b4f765:disqus!

I wholeheartedly approve of this ending.

Thanks, Lou, and Quirk—Tom Lehrer is awesome, as is Spike Jones.  Now I've got "Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park" stuck in my head….

Everybody in the theater is shocked when the camera pans down and reveals that the Devil has a penis!

"The Fievel Inside: An American Tail" opens with a naked guy (possibly Richard Gere) and a gerbil loader, doesn't it?

Manimal!

At least I watched Free Agents, unlike anything else (other than Community) shown on NBC.  So although I don't share the ire of the OP, um… yeah.

The "old BSG was a million times better" camp really surprises me.  I had no idea there were so many people that vehemently felt that way.  Suddenly I feel like I'm in the minority, where I loved the original and the reboot.

This raises the question: was the 50's/60's "look" for women better than anything that came before or after?  Because I agree with @avclub-8ad297da4fc2cc28dfa3c0cb7df8ae63:disqus and @avclub-c4d155f2fb5bf679bbf0c9e946c335a9:disqus. 

I can't explain why, but I love Allan Sherman.  I guess it's probably because I was exposed to him at just the right age (9).  I must now apologize for reprinting my fave Sherman ditty, "The Hippopotamus Song."

Escape Club's one hit?  That would be "Wild Wild West," the one with a video with disembodied arms flying around.  Totally freaked me out. 

I concur with @bcfred:disqus; when I saw this episode, it really didn't matter to me what Babcock's character's age was supposed to be or what she was into.  The conflict doesn't seem to be about Lana being older, it's about how she would've been a one-night-stand at best for him… if not for her ability to bring Sam…

I wonder how many people remember the Mike and the Mechanics song.  Or should I say, "Mike + the Mechanics."

Just going to join the chorus here—Wizards is the best thing Bakshi did.  I don't like most of Bakshi's work, but I like Wizards (albeit not as much as I did when I was 13, and watched it twice in one day).

I agree too vehemently to simply "like" this comment.  Great line.

Tasha's take perfectly encompasses my experience of Greenaway.  His overriding message is that the world will always be a miserable place where anything good is crushed—after perhaps being shat upon.  Or force-fed buttons (was the young soprano fed buttons, or was his stomach cut open and buttons placed inside?  I…

Holy shit, I had no idea Drake Sather was dead.  I remember seeing his standup routine on one of HBO's 'Young Comedian' specials in the 80's and he was by far the best of the bunch. I even remember some of his bit, and it was over 30 years ago—"I’ve been feeling kind of lousy for the past few weeks. I don’t want to go…

"What's he got that (say) Dickie Goodman or Larry Groce didn't have?"
