It's the kind of episode I'm afraid people I've been recommending the series to for years will tune in for after they're like, "Fine, I'll watch ONE episode if you promise you'll shut up about it if I don't like it."  Every series has at least one.

Yeah, the fact that the person making these is a guy is… uncomfortable.  I'd be cooler with it if he did, say, "Exploding Expendables" to even things out a little.

I mentioned this elsewhere in the thread but you have to keep in mind that "Sesame Street" has a veritable army of child
psychologists on staff as well as educators.  These are the same writing team who chose to directly confront the fact in an episode that the actor who played Mr. Hooper died, explained the situation…

"Prime-time spinoff of 'Sesame Street' addresses the needs of children whose parent is in jail.  News outlets and concerned parent groups to blow this way out of proportion."

Welp, that's my fan-theory from now on.

(Scratches head) Orange?

You know, you're probably going to be right.  Thought that too as soon as Wonder Woman showed up.

Archaeology = paleontology is the one that always chills my coffee.  They've got maybe ten-thousand years in common, at best, and otherwise have nothing to do with each-other.

The Jake Long= Juniper Lee thing was especially sketchy as I recall, since it wasn't clear which series was conceived of first.  That said, having seen bits of both series, it was obvious "Juniper" at least had much more thought put into it.

"I can't reminisce about this show with people without sounding like I have several mental disorders."

That's pretty bad (I'm marveling at how they had the stones to copy imagery from "Fantasia" in that video) but my pick for the worst Bedrock Rockers song is this number, which is kind of like the 70's throwing up all over itself:

Wasn't there a failed pilot for another series in this same vein "starring" Lilly Tomlin's Edith Ann character?  If not, then I just accidentally described an especially vivid childhood fever dream.

All the… Corndogs?… had weird variations/mixtures of their parents' powers, so it's probably just something that happens when you smash Magic Dog and Rainicorn DNA together.

"Traveling the Globe on their combination van/boat/skimobile/hot-air balloon/rocket and solving mysteries in every city just in time for their concert!

It's "Caillou" that's driving my cousin out of his mind currently because (a) his kids love it because who knows why, (b) it's on at Noon, a time when parents are most likely to run into it, and especially (c) it's the most dubiously "educational" show to air on PBS since "Barney and Friends", unless the lesson is…

The worst thing about the cartoons of that era is that Son of Now See Here could be making "Hillbilly Snails" up entirely and we'd never know, because 70's Hanna-Barbera would absolutely make that cartoon.

"Fox and the Hound" was very likely the first movie I saw in a theater too.

In EPCOT Center, there's a costumed character of Marie and there is *always* a huge line to meet her for reasons I cannot fathom.  And this is because "Aristocats" is one of the three Disney Animated Canon movies that are nigh on unwatchable (it is *just* marginally better than "Home on the Range" and "Chicken…

Yeezuz, I forgot that was even a thing.  I can't decide if "Little Rosie" or "Life With Louise (Anderson)" is more bizarre.
