Funny thing about Pop Century.  Originally, the whole set of buildings on the other side of the lake were going to be themed to the first half of the 20'th Century.  Nobody could find any sufficiently kitschy nostalgic things to throw all over the facades from, say, the Great Depression so those buildings sat unused

^^ You have sold me.

"The Eleventh Hour" and "Animalia" are outstanding, though it's a little sad that Base has been trying to outdo them ever since with very mixed results. 

I'll see Charlie Brown and raise you the Chuck Jones "Grinch".

Seeing as it just dropped off Instant-Watch, sell me on why I should "spend" a DVD slot in my queue for "Ink".

I would also put in a vote for "My So-Called Life", save for a weird awkward episode or two.

Oh, Frithra, Watership Down…

Trust me, if you see the (very good in its own right, probably because Beagle was directly involved) film when you are around six or so, the scene where Molly meets the unicorn will permanently alter your entire philosophy of life.

If you mean what I think you do (it's been a while), then yes that is an odd moment in an otherwise terrific series.

Yeah, there's a part of me that is kind of curious about the film but (a) the book was so important to me as a teen and I've fallen head-over-heels with the original radio play as an adult and (b) as much affection I have for Sam Rockwell, I can't, I just simply can not get over one-and-a-half-headed Zaphod.  What the

Stick with "Adventure Time".  There are a couple of dud episodes, but thanks to the format they're over quick and overall it is a thing of beauty.

^^ They still can be.  One of the reasons why their recent string of films have been so good is because they aren't afraid to get dark as fuck when they need to.  ("You really ARE a bad guy!" = Many sudden accusations of "I'm not crying, *you're* crying!" in my house last night.)

Oh, goodness yes.  "Totoro" as well.  And anything Silver Age or Renaissance-era Disney.  I had a big, goofy grin on my face through the entirety of "Tangled" and "Wreck-It Ralph" so it may be time to invest in their DVDs.

This is now my theory for the Nickie Driscoll episode of "My So-Called Life" (a pretty perfect series save maybe three really weird episodes).

I think I can do your story one better.  One of my biology classes (all teenage girls) was required to dissect fetal piglets for part of the semester.  No problem, I mean pigs are a pretty guilt-free dissection option relatively speaking, and we gladly sliced up our piglets and poked around inside their guts for

It's like "Fun House" (Hosted by JD "Destined to Host Random Things for the Rest of His Life" Roth), if the odds of making it through the Fun House were staggeringly unfair.

"What was with the '90s and silver-goo-transformation fantasies?"

I don't think any three-piece puzzle has broken more hearts then that God-forsaken monkey.

Wait, he's a crop duster?  What are they even dusting crops for in the "Cars" world?  WHY ARE THEY GROWING CROPS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?

You've never had kids whine at you until you relented and sat through a brain-meltingly God-awful movie the kids insisted they NEEDED to see but then they barely paid attention to it?
