Most songs on "On Avery Island" alone make "On Avery Island" a good album.

I also love the way that Finn and Jake's joy-spreading initiative includes visiting what appears to be a dull conference of people simply listing the common and scientific names of different types of beetles.

"Oh, oh BMO, how'd you get so pregnant?
Who's the mother?
Oh, who's the father?
I'll tell you, if you keep it a secret
We will, we will, we will.

James Baxter deflating his volleyball, folding it into a hat and putting it on was adorable.

Not even BMO carrying a pregnancy in a red solo cup and singing the "BMO, How Did You Get So Pregnant?" song?

The Happy Helmet was one of the hands-down moments from "Ren and Stimpy".

@avclub-df106893a4574bccb7bce1ff66e788b9:disqus If I were to start watching, could I start watching from episode 7 (earliest episode available on Hulu) or should I wait until I can start from the beginning?

@avclub-bde03a31feb6259716046ea17db6e426:disqus Voles always remind me of one of my favorite semi-obscure Monty Python skits.  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

@avclub-c30b17b451a2d904d45a4c895dbd4a62:disqus I guess that was another thing that bothered me was that we were never given any reason other than the rebelling angel's word that she was good.  We never have any super compelling reason other than "because the author says so" to believe that the rebellion's government…

Wait, Neil Gaiman was on Arthur?  I've got to look that one up.  The Yo-Yo Ma episode was one of the first guest appearances on the show, and as such it remains one of my favorites (I should point out that I deeply love the first couple of years of that show, I started watching it from more-or-less the very beginning…

"The Monster at the End of the Book" was awesome.  I remember having this boxed set of Sesame Street Golden Books, and that one was one of my favorites.  That was a really funny book.  There were a lot of cool little Sesame Street books back in the day.

Speaking of Redwall villains, I'm not the only one who learned what a stoat is from those books, right?

Was "Vikings" good?  I was kinda lumping it together with "The Bible" series until I learned that it stars Donal Logue, and then I was kinda intrigued.

Well, thanks for putting the spoiler alert after the spoiler, jerk.  Now you've gone and spoiled the whole New Testament for me.

I love HDM as well, but I feel like, morally, at least, things get less complicated when pretty much every Christian in HDM is a horrible person.  It's not as bad as the scene in "The Last Battle" where only one soldier worshipping Tash goes to heaven, but it's still drags down the sequels.

Honestly, when you compare his meal descriptions to Tolkien or Jacques, Martin's are pretty goddamn brief.  Plus, I feel like it helps to lend a more authentic sense of location, when you read that what's being eaten in King's Landing is quite different from typical fare in Winterfell, which bears little resemblance…

I never read all of my Redwall books.  I hear that "Martin the Warrior" was the best (I think I still have an unopened copy, I should really just read it sometime this weekend), but my own ranking of books I'd read would probably go "Mossflower" > "Redwall" > "Mariel of Redwall" > "The Bellmaker" > "Mattimeo" >…

I'd read plenty of great stuff by the time I got to "The Westing Game", but that's probably hands-down my favorite single children's mystery book.

@avclub-c30b17b451a2d904d45a4c895dbd4a62:disqus If it had only had "Exit Music (for a Film)" in the closing credits, I would consider Wishbone's adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet" to be superior to the Baz Luhrman film.  Oh, and that's another great thing about Wishbone; they didn't sugar-coat death in their stories.…
