The Stale-Smelling Fart…

Cleveland Show is one of those rare shows that actually started out fairly strong and actually got REALLY good in its first season, only to good nowhere and say next to nothing for the rest of its run. By the end of the first year, Cleveland Show was just behind American Dad as my favorite cartoon, and Cleveland Jr.

NEVER!!!!

As sevenzarkseven and Thomas R points out, Batman has given Harley EVERY oppertunity to "reform", including the scene in this episode where he thought she may have FINALLY seen the light and come to her "senses" about the Joker, only to be tricked AGAIN!

EXACTLY! It's one thing for Batman to hurl insults while "bantering", but for him to lay the mental smackdown of all smackdown's on Harley was one of the most brutal Batman moments ever. It's one thing when Batman is "pleading" with a villian (he never begs for his own life, but their's or that of their victims) but

Dick Rude:

I thought about including China White (Kelly Hu) but since we know next to nothing about her character I didn't want to include her. The Huntress I'm sure will go on to become a "hero" and will most likely have her own journey to deal with, but right now Shado has skyrocketed to the top of the heap when it comes to

One of my all-time fantasies if I were rich is too build my own mini-studio ala Robert Rodrigez and produce some of my own projects, one of the main ones being a live-action remake of Mad Love with Conroy, Sorkin, and Hamill all reprising their respective roles! All I would really need is a great graphic designer for

Kevin Conroy's voice acting in this ep is as stellar as he's ever been, but the line where he laughs at Harley and freaks her out, then goes on to call her a "little fool" before telling her all the "origin" stories the Joker tells is perhaps one of his all-time greatest Batman moments. It's one thing to hear him

Another great cut-for-syndication moment:

More like Steve Trevor.

It's also refreshing to see a good asian actress that can hold her own (and then some) with what had up until now been a show wholly dominated by white men (with the exception of Diggle).

I always like Damar and Casey Biggs, especially during the final season. His arc is one of the more compelling ones on a show filled with them, and I'm actually surprised Biggs hasn't had more high profile work since DS9 ended.

Boy, did the reviewer nail it when saying "I’m sure I’ll see Walter White no matter who Bryan Cranston is playing in the future". When Cranston, whose pre-BB background consists mainly of fairly hiliarious comedy roles, guest starred on 30 Rock this past season as Kennth's mom's boyfriend/husband Ron, it seemed really

Hmmm… No mention in the article of Michael "Darkseid" Ironside as the Miller Batman for some reason. A shame given his awesome voice and delivery. Of course, Ironside will ALWAYS be Darkseid to me first, even moreso than the great characters he's played in various Paul Verhooven films, and his voice is as iconic in

"It hadn’t occurred to me, but Alan Sepinwall asked on Twitter why Rick didn’t just choose to bring his group over to Woodbury instead of locking everyone in a prison that arguably doesn’t have enough room (at least, not enough clean room) to support them. I don’t honestly know. I guess the prison is more defensible

Agreed. This is one of those instances where I think the writers trust their audience to trust them in that they don't need to speel out every little thing, and use the information that's already been presented to fill in the backstory in a logical way.

This always bothered me as well, but luckily there are only a scant amount of "Gamma Quadrant exploration episodes" left. The only one that comes to mind at the moment is the one where the Defiant crew gets stuck on a time-looping planet and their ancestors have to plead for them to live there forever so they'll be

That Slabokdor was a real p'takh!

More than anything else the show has done, using the Cheers theme helped bridge the show's setting, both past and present, with the viewing audience. By firmly establishing the show's past as our "present" (more or less), Adventure Time takes on a whole new dimension. Sure there are still imortant questions to answer,
